Our neighbor has found II polite OF late, to
express some alarm, at Mr.. Clay's prospects,
After pronouncing him degraded and fallen
never to rise again, he has within the course OF
the last fortnight, affected to consider him Tor
millable. and as stronger than either Calhoun or
Van Buren,! This precious confession would new
er have been cxturlcd, but Tor the aspect which
tbings wore in this quarter. He wishes 10 pre-
serve the Jacksonians united, to keep out Henry
Clay, and TO keep Notwithstanding else. re
can appreciate the latter motive. but why as
virginia politician, should lac any longer pretend
to prefer Jackson Clay? The Veto we acknow-
ledge, afforded some preteXt for considering Gen.
Jackson a friend of limited construction: but has
he not abandoned the veto? Did lie not in March
sign many bills subscribing to the stock timprov-
ment companies, on the exact principle OF the
NaysyilIc Road: Did he not in his Message of
December, declare for the Tariff.
Now these two things of the TariRand, Improve
ment. are the very sans which Virginia has OBJ
iected to Henry Clay, and exempt from which,
his popularity IN this his native state, would out
strip all competition. In these respects Gen Jack
son is as much sinner as Mr.. Clay: Why there
fore is Gen. Jackson such favorite with certain
ueople-so safe. so excellent choice for Presi-
dent-and why is Henry Clay such bug bear,
such terror? Why is the first forced upon our
contemplation as all that is desirable, and the
last denounced as all that is dangerous and DAMN
able? WIZ is the one extolIed as saint the lat
ter cursed as Apoilyon Let the people of
sense ask themselves the question. We could
answer the -question. We could explain the
inconyruity We could tlevelope the latent
motives of the unblushing Inconsistency, and as
SIGN the private reasons which induce certain
persons to prefer nose of wax in thee Presden-
CIV, which even they are at liberty to handle and
shape to their purposes and their liking. to such
d man as Henry Clay, who would dIsdain to be
moulded, would have the understanding to COM
prehend. as well as the firmness to discharge his
official duties-Richmond Uhig.

The Fiucaste VA Patriot, jealous Jackson
paper, in noticing the bounds beyond which it
will not pass to support any public officer, says:
nTrulh is truth. and it is useless to conceal
1t. The tide of party feeling has sweiled to such
an alarming height. that it threatens to bury IN
destruction our most sacred rights, to deprive us
of the privilege Of reemen-the privilege OF juds-
ing and acting for ourselves and our country
We yield 10 none in the sincerity aud earnest
ness of our political friendship for General Jack
son. We believe him to be a firm and incorrup-
tible statcsman-a man of Roman virtue and IN
tegrity: and long he continues true To his
country, he shall have our feeble. but honest
support. But General Jackson is not God"
Did any Macedonian, think We, believe that
Alexander was the son Of Jupiter Ammons and
boIdv!-the people ofhis army knew the penal
ties of such rashness. Yet the Virginia ditor
ventures on the denial. 1t is true that, instead
of dedication direct, he offers the chief the in
