A RIDDLE.-Mr Clay is elected to the Senate of
the w. s., by majority of nine votes over r. NJ. John.
ston: C1t bono? Several Of Mr. Clays papers and
partizans say that he is going there as political mode
raor, to play the second part Of the Missouri Compro
mise-They say, that the politician who publicly de-
ciared his determination not to give up inch of
ground OF the American System, is prepared to con-
suit tbs feelings Of the South, and to compromise the
difference between the parties! C. Hammond, OF the
Cincinnati Gazette, says as much But the late Ian
guage oil the National Journal Is full of mystifc alton
Ii first cries up Mr. Clay the ." immediate champion
and pillar" Of the systemas the leader OF the friends
OF the Tarif'-as in fact "Clays System."-Tt thoo
Indignantly asks Will they, who be-
isve the Tariff policy to be essential to the perfection
OF our Independence, turn traitors their own prnc
pie;h Mr.. Clay should be placed in situation 10 give
1t the advantage OF the Executive favor If not in
what quarter are we to look for the danger. If the
friends Of the Tariff prone stdueh, what reason have
this extraordinary POSITION that Without refrogrod
ing an inch on the subject Of protective policy
without abandoning single position which he has
that Mr. Ciay's course in the Executive chair would
more entirely command the appreciation Of not onv The
SOUTH, but oil the whole Union, than that of General
him as the most popular President of his time and his
country "N ms
Now, here's the ridde-How il is possible for Mr..
clay 70 - command tho appreciation of the South %
without rctrograding inch the subject of pro
tect,oe poticy' II appears TO like direct contra
dleuon IN erms 1t will never do to say, that Mr.
Clay will please the South much Gen. Jackson can
do because every one knows that Gen. j. goes only for
p" judcious tariH"-and that he is in favor of ma
teria modification OF the present system.-How Mr. c
nnnhG fhn,,f

KEN" is riddle tous-will the n. Journal explain
We ask for information.
IHE sPEAKER-The Philadelphia Sentinel mistakes
our proposition. We did ''see great propriey in
virginia having the Speaker of the H. of Representa-
nyes. because her candidate is hostile to the Tariff
"hat we did say, was that Mr.. Stevenson was emf
nenHy qualified for the Chair, and on that account
mat he ought to be reeleced-We gave this addition
reason for It, that the Opposition striving to
break down the Jackson Speaker and thus to scatter
the seeds OF discomfort in the Republican ranks Is
not This assertion warranted by the facts What Jack
SON paper mas attempted TO organize an opposition
MIR. Stevenson, but the American Sentinel While ON
the contrary, several of the papers of Mr.. Claw
have by insidous hint or open denunciation re.
Tariff Speaker.
Has MIR. Stevenson shown himself in the chair
the nveerate foe Of that Systeml We do not speak of
him as man, or a member of Congress-for we
know him too well TO imagine that he will ever sacrI
nee his own honest opposition TO the Tariff for the sake
OF an oce-We speak OF him only the Speaker OF the
1
pointed Tariff Committed whether he has ever trust
ed the child TO the nurse who would srangle III whether
he did not retain Mr.. Roger Mallory as its Chairman
And WHETHER in all his decisions points of order he
has not always studied impartial administration of
Parliamentary law? Let the American Sentinel he az
sued, that the friends Of the Tariff will have strict JUS
tee awarded to them.-Of the qualifications of Mr.
Stevenson, il scarcely becomes to speak The Jour-
nails OF Congress furnish the best evidence ONLY one
oil his decisions that done at his own
suggeson-thanks given to him the end of the very
rst Session OF Congress-, twice given to him at
the end OF the second Session-and his partiafv as
well as his abilities embraced i'm the vote of thanks:
by friends and enemies; by the Delegates OF Pennsy
vana as Of Virgins; by the friends well the oppo-
cashering this MANI Why encourage the h hopes Of onr
enemies, or damp the zeal Of the friends the admins

But enough-A letter from Washington states il is the
