MIR. CLAY.

As was conjecturcd, Mr.. Clay has been chosen
10 Succeed John Rowan in the Senate of the United
States from Kentucky, for Six years from the 4th
March last.
This procedure will give very high offence
doubt to Jackson, and his body guard. Already in
anticipation OF the event, has the Globe, the organ
cfJackson's private and personal feelings, brandish
ed its viper tongue. That Journal, edited ostsns-
bly, by Francis p. Blair, really is surmised at
Washington by Amos Kendall-men, both of them,
who protested at time, devoted friendship to
Henry Clay-men, both of them, who urged Henry
Clay to vote for Mr.. Adams, that very step which
in the opinion of those pure patriots and scrupu-
ioo ...U.~i;S'S, '"S see rendered him Infamous:
nay, who avowed as a motive to stimulate him, that
he HIMSELF should thereby open the way to his
appointment to the Department of State, which
happening accordingly, Blair and Kendall, his
idential advisers to it, have adduced nfalble
evidence of the bargain; the Globe edited by this
brace of traitors to the man, whom not content
with betravng, they have sold under circumstances
which render their conduct next in enormty to
his who sold for price, the Saviour of mankind
for to Kendall, Mr.. Clay had been Il Saviour and
had rescued him from pershing tho dung
hill; the Globe say, has the unspeakabe 'front.'
lessness to speak follows in anticipation of Mr.
Clay's election, having first assumed that that cleo
ton would be the fruit of treason IN the Kentucky
Legislature the wishes of Kentucky; an assump-
ton as recklessly unfounded as any other declara-
ton which has issued from the palace organ; for it
is we'll known to these men, that however unable
Mr.. Clay was TO procure the vote of Kentucky for
Mr.. Adams, there the least doubt of his
obtaining it for himself.
eff under these eircu instances, Mr.. Clay should
come to the Senate, he will but nsummate his
ruin. He will stand in that body, the Repre-
sen alive of Kentucky, but of few base men rem
dered infamous b. the fraud perpetrated in electing
him. He will be but the shadow ofwhat he was once
democratic principles which he then avowed,
and which the people of Kentucky still maintain.
He will no longer represent his countrymen-but
like an Irish patriot become English pension
or, he will represent odious oligarchy and
owing his station altogether to chicane and man
ngement, he will be strpt of the dignity of his char
acter, and will gradually sink into insgniicance''
Mr.. Clay "sink into insgnhcance" in the Sc
mattel Dost hope or fear it, Amos3 If the latter,
we intreat you 10 dismiss your apprehensions-if
the former, clay not the catering JUNCTION to your
soul" "Mr. Clay is coming" to represent the
voice of Kentucky-to stand upon the same great
democratic principles which lie has ever supported
to be the scourge of evil docrs-to heal tho di-
visions of the country, and drag it from the brink
of civil war, he did once before. We wonder
not at the sensation which the prospect of his COM
ing to the Senate has created; that the obscene
birds of the Palace, air eady screaming forth
their alarm and apprehension
