HENRY CLAY.--Asthc daily increas-
ing popularity Of Mr.. Clay becomes
more manifest, we perceive that The
attacks of his enemies upon his politi-
cal fame and character, grow fercer
and more frequent. These attacks. to
their object, are often mCTe annoying,
than really hurlful. They remind US
of the summer flies upon mobile s,eed.
Much malice Is eNinced IN some Of this
petty warfare, however. The attempt,
for instance, TO connec, or associate IN
some way or other Mr.. Clay, with flo.
hiion, Is case in point. To be sure
men OF intelligence know better. and
laugh 10 scorn the shameless and I'M
pudent effort. But still 1t is persisted
inf Mr.. Clay's whole life. conduct,
speeches, and writings, and especially
his votes. do not give the lie to the
charge. We know not the meaning oil
language. But MIR. Clay's enemies
and envious rivals will 90, do him JUS
ticc. True greatness is shining mark
