Mr. Clay is said to have declared in the Senate that
Western Virginia undoubtedly in favor of the IA
NV hat VIII he say, when he sees the resolutions
oil the great County of Washington, and the following
proceedings of the Citizens of Russell?-Mr. CLAW
is rushing on TO his own ruin-and if he had tho
strength of Sampson, he would pull down his conn
try with him. The South cannot, will not ta,nel,,
acqu'eSce in his abomiuablc proiect-He has added
insult to INJURY. His proposition to take off the du
ties on luxuries, and leave them on necessaries-to
protect in any event the privileged manufacturers at
the expence of the great body of the consumers ia
most abominable mockery. The Camden Journal.
athched 10 the Union Party of 5. Carolina-but as
moderate as 1t is firm, thus speaks of Mr.. Clay:
sour Senator has done his best TO bring about real
compromise and the Kentuckian has exerted every
to prevent it. We look Mr.. Henry CLAW at this mo-
ment as the greatest curse upon his country This
be called strong language, but borne out i'm its sc
by the circumstances of the times We verilv believe
that if Mr. Clay in Congress- compromise of the
connecting interests OF the country might and would be
elected as 1T u.s. have every thing TO fear for the in
fcgy oil the Union Mr.. Clay maniless the disposition
10 eopardze every thing his country for the chance
o. obtaining Its highest office We afraid majority OF
the National Legislature will sustain him; and then fare
wen 10 the concdcracy Mr.. Clay and his susfeuofzers
may make as light they please of this natter bur the
will realize all say unless they pause in their mad c
rcer Henry Clay may be President of the Discounted
but one thing he may make up his mind to- he will
govern the United States"
The n. Y. Evening Post is right in reading the
signs of the Times:
The symptoms of discomfort at the South are evidently
growing every day more and serious and general
