MEssRs. CLAY AND SMITH.

Mr. Clay has been wantonly msrcprcscntcd
and traduced on the score of the passages between
himSclf and Cen Smith, in the Senate, that with
reluctance, far as the structures our ncighbor
the Enquirer, are couccrncd-wc consent to re-
publish can Eye Witness" from the Intclligenccr
of Tuesday. We assured that an Eve Wit
ness gives fair and faithful narration of the trans
action-that Mr.. Clay intended and committed
no pcrsonality-that his trae offending, was his
stripping Gen. Smith of the mask of assumed
friendship for Internal improvements, by EXPOSING
the character of the Committee on that subject
appointed by the General at the beginning of the
session-and that the latter was the volator of
good manners, in threatening Mr. Clay with taking
"a view," which he evidently designed TO ih,Sinaatc
would fix something dish honorable him. Then
and rot before, Mr.. Clay became excited, and in
storm tone. desired the gentleman, dared him, 10
take his pietc.
The transaction instantly seized upon to
work on public sympathy 10 Mr. Clay's prejudice.
Zen. Smiths age and revolutionary services, were
circumstances calculated to prom ote the designs
OF the Panders of Van Burenism. Mr.. CLAY was
represented the next morning in tho Globe, as out
raging propricty and good feeling in insulting
the Senator from Maryland, and reproaching We
ncrablo Rovolutioner with his age. Expressions
used by him, were garblcd and torn from their con-
text, and he held up to the nation insulting ago,
and trampling on Revolutionary merit.
These are the considerations which influence us
to re-publish the narrative of an Eyo Witness
Who he Isl we know not.
For our own part, we proud to see Mr. CLAY
hurlng defiance at his base enomes He has been
pursued with an applicability Of maignity, and
persevering SANDER, unprecedented in this gene
rous country, whore in every case besides his per-
secution has after Il while, rclentcd and torncd
from tho pursuit. Not so in his case. Hated by
those IN power, and who aspire to power,
hatodbscauso feared, and feared because injured
the tools of the Administration and of the dcma
gogue who aspires to the succession, have never
relaxed for moment in the propagation of their
calumnics. No doubt Gen. Smith expected to
ovcrawe him by the threat of taking a vew," and
of reviving on the floor of the Senate, the cuckoo
notes of bargain and corruption"
