The Richmond Enquirer under the imposiu,
CAPTION of .sCome to the point-produce Won;
power. and the terms OF the treaty" calls
as as one of Mr.. GAYS organs" to re.
piy to the ridiculous charge that Mr.. CL.y
7. wishes to teniporize on the Tariff question" =
Saws the Enquirer. The people have a rich,
to know Of the Alexandria Gazette, the term,
of The compromise" sc. Now all this is mere.
IL ed c~opiandtn. Nbc ever affirmed that Mr..
CLAY made a .'bil' OF offered i "compromise?
or any such STUFF? No body, except a Jackso,
editor, or an euemy 50 Hr. Clay. No, no. The
ENQUIRER hnows. although it will no. confess.
that NJ. Clay never jugsted. tracked, cOm.
promised for power or favor in his lie. He
does not belong to the :! Supple" schnll-Lis 20.

Tl,e Enquirer quotes our lgnsrarc-We Sal.

rel. or any Of lis laws nHNifed." Now all hi.
precisely with Mr.. CLAWS reply to the
Manufacturers Of Pittsburg, an extract from which
the Enquirer assl publishes. The ruth is. if he

he an end ,f Ibis talk. Mr.. CLAYb has been held
up as scidipg 10 90 al lengths in support Of :
high Tariff of duties. ard the South, on that ac.
count, has been taught 10 regard him as its eae.
my. Wat ae stated was. that the South lad
N reality less reason to Fear the straight forward
course Of HENRY Clay, than the vaci'lating pO.

AT the same time Inc would ~cOntiuue the firm,
undertaking friend of the Tariff, considering
that policy expcdient, constitutional and proper.
These we stated were his - private sentiments
and We used that expression, because Mr.. CAY
las not had an opportunity like Gen. Jackson, Of
spreading his views before the people. Let tie
Enquirer be candid for once. It's object is plain
enough to be secG. Mr.. Clay is fast rising in
the esteem Of The |Iighmindtd people Of the SOuth.
There must be an effort on a new tack agaias.
him. The eilogt will BE- a failure.

Our fears we're tuo trne.-Yesterday's mail
brought us the news Of the death of Mr. MoNRoF.
The event is full of matter for reflection. MAY
we not adopt the !atglge Of a gifted orator, when
speaking 81 the death of Adams and Jefferson,
and say, again, - is there a voice that is not hush.
ed. is there a heart that does not quail, at this
close manifestation of Heaven in our affairs
Philosophy, recovered of her surprise, may al.
feet to treat the. coincidence as fortuitous; bu.
Philosophy herself is mute, at the moment, under
the pressure Of feeling. The voice of Heaven

The New furk papers are in mourning, and
contain various tributes from public bodies to the
memory Of the deceased.

The Administrator prints are quoting and Us
ing to suit their Own purp' ses, a few hasty re
marks we made on the receipt of Mr.. Rush'S
Anti Masonic Letter. They are at perfect iibcr
" TO DO 81. But W. have nothing, and shat
have nothing to do with political Masonry or Pc
li.ical Anti-Masonry.
The National Gazette has published a chapter
from Sir Walter SCOTS new novel, h" Robert OF

the work and lbs general character.

The patriotic Hamilton, (Mathew Carey.) Of
Philadelphia, is addressing a new Olive Branch
to the citizens Of South Carolina, on the danger.
ols and seditious doctrines now promulgated
there.
80 We again ask the Telegraph to give t,
proper credit for the Commercial news which It
regularly copies from the Gazette. Wednesdar
evenings Telegraph contains nearly a cUIunH
relative to the trade Of this town, which was "a
ken from this paper without acknowledgement.
1t was but the other day that the Richmond
Enquirer was ..dissusted with the transactions
at Washingtop.;' and now 1t is disguised Wit
the use that is making Of these transactions
trueIy IA disgusting piece of business a~ltoseti.c'
The Enquirer also says Gen. jackson nese'
was stronger than ut this time, notwithstanding
the late split and dissolution Of the Cabinet
Now, there is no excuse for this whatever. TIE
Enquirer knows better. 1t cannot help knowr;
better. The Enquirer should do peEance for q
month.
