But we discover no little illiberality OF feeling
in the article in the Telegraph relative to Mr.

party system formerly brought to bear against
this distinguished man, to stIsmatlze him a. ue

We presume Mr. Clay cares as little as his
friends do about Bank candidate. His prepos.
sessions are not in favor Of that institution, and
his support of its continuance is induced by
belief Of its present necessity in regulating The
currency Of the country, and keeping up sosnd
