that he, Henry Clay, had voted for man
who would be CURSE UPON the country.
Now trace the political course OF Hen

xv;,, i mt be found that of all men now
IN existence, the senior Editor OF the
richmond Enquirer ought to be the last

in favour of John @. Adams 1t certain

''bargain and sale ?"
We are indeed truly federal. OF not
federal, according to the meaning attach
ed to the term. If George Washington,
and John Marshall, were federalists, we
adnine their federalism, and that GLoRf-
GUS PATRIOTISM which made us what we
are. and what both sustained to the
end of their lives. These are the pat
riots who have furnished US with princi-
ples--and not Andrew Jackson, nor Mar
tin Van Buren,, nor Judge White; and
we now look upon Henry Clay. and Dan
lei Webster, as remainders over, and who
willfollow in the great high way located
by these patriots who have now passed
beyond the turmoils ofpolitical life. We
prefer Henry Clay to all other men now
spoken Of. This preference we have al
ways avowed, and we anxiously look for
ward to the day when it will be declared
that Henry Clay and Martin Van Buren,
are the only candidates for the suffrage
of the people for the high Office Of Presi-
dent. We feel confident that Clay is
the only man feared by TIE PARTY, and
of course, he ought to be the candidate
of the opposite party, and we hope he
will be.

THE MURDER IN TYLER.-We have
heard nothing corroborating the account
published last week of the horrid murder
in Tyler county; on the contrary, gen.
tlemen from there discredt it altogether.
Had it occurred in Randolph county, as
stated in the Romney paper. we should
also have had some confirmation of it ere
this. 1t is probably hoax therefore. for
which the inventor richly deserves to be
LYNcHED.-GAzETTE
Our information from Randolph county
enables US to state that no such murder
was perpetrated in that county. We un-
derstand, about the time we gave the re-
port, tale Of a similar character was in
circulation in Randolph as having occur
red in Tyler county. We think with the
Gazette that the fabricater deserves to
be punished.
