Hon JOHN c. CLARK-The Albany Argus is out
upon this gentleman, by name and denounces him with
much acrlmony as an "apestate from duty and rom
principle The Norwich Journal Of last week. is equal
ly bitter, and declares that he frait0r, and should
be dealt with accordingly" Mr.. Clark is pursued by
the Locofocos home and abroad with great sirulence
and ferocity But think they have miscalcnated
their man this time We do not believe he is TO be dra-
gooned abused into the supper: of measures which
he thinks would be destructive the best interests Of
the country.
twill be recoecied that the Loco-foco County Con-
yenon, last fall, passed resolution calling Mr. Clark
to for having voted for Thomas Allen, Editor
Of the Madisonan, for Printer the House Of Repre-
sentaves, in opposition TO the Editors Of the Globe.
Mr. Clark, his reply to that resolutions boldly main
tanned the ground he had taken and poin,edy rebuked
those who had presumed ansign him for his ndepen-
dence. The Locofoco Convention Of the 3lsto May
last abused him without for his continued oppo-
slon to the Subtressury scheme, and to Locofocosm
We presume that he will much longer remain silent
under that abuse but that he will vndcate himself fiem
the assaults which have been made upon him.
The Journal seems TO think il singular that we should
give Mr.. Clark credit for the independent stand he has
taken. 1t is true, that in days gone by we attacked
Mr. Clark with severity But that is reason WIN we
should be willing do him justice by speaking we'll

again venture to sneer at us for giving Mr. Clark due

Mr. Clark's course on the question Of the Sub-trea-

He understands it in all its bearings; and when he,
