We congratulate the nation on tina election
of HENRY CLAY TO the United States Sc
nate With Clay, Webster and Clayton, and
other such men in that body-and such men
as John Quincy Adams in the house Of rep
fesentatives--eur country-onr liberties
may vet be safe--even though Gen. jackson
be president MIR Clay possesses, in an emf
nent degree. the capacity and the hrmness
necessary to expose the tyranny and unmask
the tyrant His election must be gall and
NORWOOD to Andrew Jackson, whose con
stitutienal adviser he now is. And his talents.
experience and patrlotism-his enlightened
liheraity must now be seen in broad con
trast with the incompetency, ignorance. low
intrigue and vindictiye impotence Oh the man
whom the people, in moment Of grateful
deiusion, misplaced in the presidential chair
Torch Light.
An infamous attempt was made to defeat
the election Of MIR. Clay to the United States
senate. by forwarding instructions to some
national republican members Of the leglsla-
ture Of Kentucky, ON the immediate ere Of the
election, purpor,ing to be from a majority OF
their constituents, directing them to vote for
Jackson senator But the trick failed.-ib
The result of the late elections throughout
tbe union has strongiy manifested the weak
ness Of the anti masonic party and the utter
impossibility of the election Of Mr.. Writ.
We therefore hope that our national republl-
can friends, who were disposed 10 throw their
influence into Mr., W's scale, will at once re-
turn to the cordial support Of MIR. Clay. who
alone can defeat the re election OF Gen. Jack
son, and the consequent injury of our coun
try and her best interests, TO an incalculabie
degree lib.
We have conversed freely with our nation
al republican friends from the country. du
ring the present term of court, and find then
determipedupon supporting HENRY CLAY
in preference to auy other candidate at the
next presidential eection.-i5.

nor less than the election OF MIR. Clay to the
senate of the United States With all ouI
heart we wish them many more such victo
