VII ME- an DufeE Is StbCLCQ ADO-
LiTION receives itsFlNAL Blow
Reader with whom, and IN what
spirit would you suppose the above sem
aiment. had its cxistence! Such il the
bold and astounding declaration ofoue
Of the most influential federal sheets IN
tic city Of New York, in appealing 70
the Wing party ofthe Union TO unite
upon Henry CLAY, il the coming presi-
Dental contest. Yes startling and
monstrous as the truth may seem, south
erners, aye southern Shareholders, are
solcmnIy invoked to aid in defeating
Mr.. Van Buren,, upon the ground that
his election would give the death blow
to the foul-fend Of Abolition.
Can Southcrners longer doubt that
there, exists anunholy alliance between
the wings and aboltionists 1t tic north
that they have joined in common
cause to defeat the administration.
Will the accumulation Of appalling
truths with regard to this foul amalga-
nation, awaken no fearful apprehcn-
sions in the breast Of Southern Wings,
or will they still permit party prcju-
dices to warp their judgements, and
blind their senses, to d fact as palpable
and glaring as though written with a
sunbeam in the heavens!
Has it not been declared by APRON
inent federal print in Ohio, that ''the
Wings there. and elsewhere, are all
abolitionists.n Do we not know that
the abolition party did unite with the
Wing party in that State at the last
election? Is there an honest and can
did man Of any party, who will for a
moment deny that the whole abolition
Influence was arrayed against the adj
ministration party during the spring
elections in Connecticut; and that
through the excrtions and activity Of
those demons, the democratic party
was defeated?* And how stands New
York? All remember, the cxultation
and JOY with which the success Of the
federal party in that State was hailed
by the Southern wing press. Dld inc
dark spirit ofabolition exert no infu-
encc there? Eel the circulars from the
Abolition Societies, calling upon the
friends Of "human rights" to support
the whig candidates. speak! Let Ar
thur Tappan. and the abolition Lieu
tenant Governor, exulting in the foul
and infamous league that gave triumph
70 the Wing cause, in the fall cleo
tons, proclaim who arc theallies Of the
wings in New York.
And now that the wings Of the VJn-
ion arc called upon to sustain Henry
Clay, on the ground that Martin Van
Bufen's election will seattle doom Of
abolition, we ask, if there is not Just
reason for alarm--iferery true friend
Of the south should not pause, md cx-
anime well the ground lie occupies, be-
fore he determines to throw bis infu-
cnce ii the scale Of Henry Clay

WilliamLeggeH. The death Of this
fearless and faithful friend Of human
rights Is a greater loss TO humanity
than would be the passing away Of Il
multitude Of mere money changers and
money gettcrs.-lle went with his
whole soul. with all his energies, and
with an intellect as strong as bis pur-
pose was pure, toto the cause Of liberty
in its largest; sense; and disregarding
every present or sordid consideration,
he gave up health, case, aud prcscat
success, TO the grand moral design Of
aiding his fellow men>in carrying into
prachce the theory Of democracy, BY
demonstrating that man il capable Of
selegoyernment, and that the opposite
fear, which has for ages checked his
progress IN true equality, IA the false
coinage Of despotism and selfish priyi-I
lege:
IT is pleasant to reflect on the APP
pointment conferred on him by the
President, just before his death. He
had never sought d public station HIS
health had been broken up BY inces-
SAINT devotion to the principles he SO
ncrvously sustained with his pen in the
severcst test they were ever exposed to;
and he had been. compelled to retire
from active life. In his retreat tho
President sought him, not as one who
could return Executive favors by par-
tlzan efforts, but as one deserving the
appreciation ofhis country, for the pu-
rity and fearlessness with which he had
supported principles, regardless Of per-
sonal favor. An important trust was
con'ded to-him, which honored him.

VISIT OF HENRY CLAY.

The announcement that Mr. Cay worll !.

called 10 that point. although at some dis
lance from The city, a large concol,rse Of
ciiizcns, in carriages and on horseback,
BY whom his appearance was greete with
the most enthusiastic and long continued
cheers.
Mr.. Clay was accompanied from Phila-
delphia, by committee of the wings of
that city and of those Of Baltimore. At
every point on the road where the rail road
cars were in the habit Of stopping, crowds
of persons had assembled, who pressed to
take him by the hand, and it is no exagger
alton Il say, that tho demonstrations Of
respect and affection which be received
were far more enthusiastic and cordial,
than the presence Of any other pubic man
Of the present day conld have called forth.

of the country without prejudice have con-
fessed that the administration of Martin
Van Buren, is well calculated to subvert

A PATRIOrIC POETIC TRTBUTE.

We uust so far depart from our usual course
as 10 give place to the following very spirited
and beautiful verse;, which we findin the AL
bany Evening journal. They are from the
pen Of MIR. Street, poet whose minute and
faithful description of natural scenery is hardly
surpassed even by the exquisite delineations of
ryant. The poem given below is in DIFF
ferent.ve;n. but equally successful with those
admirable and truthful paintings which have
already won for Mr.. street, deservedly high
reputation.
