In another column OF our paper VIII DO
found the remarks Of Mr. CLAY, which wero
called forth by a sentiment ir honor OF that
highly gifted man and unsurpassed states
man, at a public dinner given in Lexington,
Kentucky, on the ! Ith inst. by the citizens of
that place, to the Hon. GEORGE POINDExTER.
We are glad to meet with these remarks from
Mr. Clay, which breathe, like every thing from
his lips, tho spirit of manly and pure patri-
o,is,n, as they will efiectually put down n
story, which has been for some time circula-
ted by his enemies in this State, that in tho
pending contest for the Presidency, he would
ultimately declare for Martin Van Buren.-
We knew from the beginning, that the sian
der alluded to must be utterly unfounded-
that it was wholly irreconcilable with tho
known public course and every honorable
trait of this high minded man. But it is
well, in these times of bold assertion and
impudcnt fasehood, that even the most pal
pable Misrepresentation should be met and
confutcd Mr. Clay has done this at once and
ellcc,ualy, and in terms that show the wide
and insupcrable distance between n man like
him, who carries his head erect and his heart
/ in his hand, and the chameleon and double
dealing oracle of Kindcrhook set up for wor-
ship by the Baltimore Convention.
1t must be equally gratifying to our Wing
friends to see Mr.. Poindrxtcr's services 30
Justly appreciated by his friends in the West
No individual, in the whole Union, we will
venture to say has been more wanionly ira
duced by the whole corps of Office holders,
and their vcnal press, than tins much injured
Senator. The circumstances attending tho
infamous conspiracy got up last winter, at
Washington, to connect him with the insane
attempt Of Lawrence upon Jackson's life, are
too recent and indclible in the recollection of
our readers to need repetition. Who were
the low and hircling agents in that conspira-
cy, besides the miserable Goldman, Foy and
Stewart it much concerns the people Of this
State at this time distinctly to understand
We will pursue this subject no further for the
present than to suboin some Of the excellent

nation and form indeed, where every patriot
should set his curse, to give the world assur-
ancc of mob"
The Wings of Kentucky: They will fight
the battle for the Constitution and Liberty,
while a man is left to tread the deck. Their
flag is nailed to the mast
