 Now $ the day and now $ the hour ) for men of unbending frmness and deter mined purposes. We want men of pY,ia- etPie-ttose whose actions flow from pnre upright aud patriotic motives for, sir, Il IS oniy such who can redeem our country rom the curses of misruie, ard stem sue- cessfnHy that torrent of popular deIusion winch sweeps across the iand, as with the bosom of destruction. And only such, sir, Who can correct the present morbid state ! oi the pholle appetite, tine surest iHdiCa- lion of diseased action in the body polite. It Is only men of nerve, men of daring independence, who can bring about a great civil revolution, and prostrate that stupendous fabric of corruption which presses like an .4tlds upon our ins l. tutieas, and threateasto to destroy whatey- CT is most valuable of American liberty Let us endeavor 10 correct these signs of premature decay Tn our government, and make mighty effor to restore once more It's healthy action. But 10 ensure this de- sirabie resnit, we must banish lukewarm- ness from our ranks, and fight like men who feel that our all is al stake Let none say that we should be indifferent in the great contest now going on, inasmuch as the voice Of Arkansas is unheard in tbe Presidential election. There is no part ofthls Union more deeply inte rested in the result Of that election. thanthe Territory or Arkansas; for we can never expect better state of things until General Jack son ceases to be the President of the uni- ted States. Let us ttsen, through the me- dunn of the press and otherwise, lay be- fore our brethren of the States the situa- ton of affairs in Arkansas, and we can not but believe that it will be attended with saiatary consequences.
 change IS as necessary for our infant country as 1t is for every part of the Ame- rlcan Union, and surely recentsindications augur an suspicious result. | es, sir, a re- demptioa from the presentzs:ate of things IS dfs7deretn1a of the first magnitude to tbis l ierritory, and who Is more suitable to redeem ns than HENRY CLAY, the bright est living ornament of his country? He whose patent of nobility is derived from his God, and the power and splendor of whose intellect has reared a monument 10 the genus of his country, that will be as im- perlshable as .the records of that country.
 fes, HENRY GLAy. whose noble and philantllropic soul expands to every cline, and whose feryent patriotism prays forthe political regeneration of every land, and whose transcendent powers of eloquence Tn behalf of the rights and liberties of mark ttd have won for him the enyiabte ap-i peiiation of he friend of human liberty. MUST be onr political redeemer. Need we fear II. Clay No, sir, that patriotic devotion in bis country's cause which tas distinguished him through life, is sure guarantee Of future sacrifices in the same noble cause. He wbo has stood by his country in days of peril, will stand hy Ter III every exigency. Y es, lie whose splen did talents and commanding oloaaenee has moulded the legisla ton and directed the policy of this country for the last twenty years, deserves the unbounded confidence ot ills country, if any man can claim such an honor.
 Hut, sir. whose dispieasure have you in- cured by your independent opposition to the overbearing and impolitic course of ten. Jackson Why, sir, you have ex- cited the ire ofMr. Wm E. Woodruff, who was yociterous .4ddnas and Claq man. un- LII u fen. Jackson cane into power: then. good easy soul, hemaISes a summersef. and becomes equally yociferous for Sen, Jack son. There are many among us who noto- the signs of the times with careful anxia.. ty, waiting to sec which way the wind blows, and after the current pets sfairIy set, .topple in and help to swell the no;sy throng. Such man take the editor of the Gazette to be.
 Sir, '' l would rather be kitten and cry meao :" all ny days; yes, "f would rather be toad and feed on the vapor of dungeon" than one of these same ser vile, syeophantic minions of power, whose only motive of action is paicate intercsf.- If a man cannot ss look above and beyondv prlyate interest to the public veal, he is any thing but patriot-he scarcely de- serves the name of man.
 Very respectfully,
 ELLINGTON.
