DIR. CLAY.-We have been requested to
say. that the friends Of the American System
IN Virginia, scout The idea of dropping Mr.
Clay, and rallying under the banner OF any
othsr man for the Presidency. Nothing but
MI Clay's death, or voluntary Withdrawal
can induce them TO entertain such a propo-
slhen, as Mr.. Writ has been put forward by
The Anti Masons. A correspondent suggests
that James Barbour Of Virginia, be placed
upon the National Republican Ticket, as
Vice President
From the Boston Sentinel.
The Anti Masonic papers far and near,
are iabouring to prevent a nomination by the
great National Republican Convection about
to meet 10 Baltimore They would doubtless
hike very well to drive Mr.. CLAY from the
course, under the impression that If he were
Withdrawn, the National Republicans would
be induced TO support Messrs WiRT and E.ll
maker Some OF the Antics entertain sort
Of .'s'aeahtag hope that Mr. Clay will volun-
tarily desert his own cause; others are dispo
sed to coquette with the members elect Of
the convention. to induce them 10 adopt Gr
Writ, and his lncumbrsace, Ell,naker, who
himself avowed he had no other claim thau
being thorough gong Anli Mason The
Editors of the New York Commercial Ad
vertlser have just discovered that the Nation.
al Republican Convention will meet al ,oa
early period, and recommends that they
make no nomination ,ils winter, but adlourn
to next Mayl This is certainly tie most shall
low device Of the enemy, that we have yet
heard of Ii is an old trek. well understood
by legislators, TO get rid Of disAgrceahle
measure by long postporement Postpone
till Mayl Absurd Those who advise such
step well know that such an adjourned meet
ing would be impraclcabe, for various oby,
Gus reasons. They would never consent 10
go home, and come back at that busy sea
son. The fact is, If there has been any mis-.
take. Il has been in fixing i. at too late pc.
rod. Had 1t been asst .;ned to the first OF Sep
tenber last. or al an earlier period, it would
have operated much more favorably, for the
person nominated, pAr;ic ularly If that perssn
had been MIR. Clay.
The fact is, Mr. Clay is decidedly the
strongest man at this period, that can be bro t
into the field TO oppose JACKSON. Should the
Convention even adopt the nomnation OF
MIR. Writ, which they have no idea OF doing,
he would not command half SO many votes
as would Mr.. Clay, if nominated with Mr..
Writ for the candidate Of the Antics. The
National Republicans have, therefore, but
one course to pursue: they must adhere 10
their PRINCIPLES and to their Men as the o,.-
ly guarantee Of final success If they aban-
den their men and their principles, tie party
will insA fipIf riI liapfif.s and
scattered to the four winds Let them be
firmly united, and If any party can overcome
Jacksonsm at the next contest, il is the Ma.
tionals, and should they not succeed fuis time,
they will still have been engaged in a nooie
cause, and will be embodied so firmly as TO
triumph without doubt al the next succeed
ing contest. Let them, therefore, turn not u
deaf, but cautions car 10 all the gratuitous
advice OF their doubtful compartisaus.
