HENRY CLAY,

The Indications Of popu ar feeling W hich Nave accom-
panied the triumphant steps of this distns flushed states
man, through the OF New York. when compared to
the sira ar ,iemanstrato with regard 70 Mr.. Van Bu-
rem, convince Ike superficial observer that in
the pre- irnal canvass IIenr, Clay will defeat
the prince of office holders in his own stare. When,
also taxa into consideration the elections in the
Of New York, when they last took place, no more doubt
can be ascertained the superior chances of Mr..
Guys success. Overtlrown in his own state in tile
empire sate-wlers VIM Buren, look for ma; ority
to place him in the Presidential chair There be
doubt but that the whole wing force will he
tra'ed upon Henry Clay. As to lnr son, White
Scott, they will readily yield 10 the great leader of the
parv-its real chief and head-the incarnation Of its
principles-s pride, its hope. Henry Clay is the
who can unite and harmonze the Wig party throughout
the Union. The northern states aud will not
deny him for he Yields them all TINT is reasonable and
cnnstntiunul-Thc west and south INV must love him
their chosen chsmpion-t,e defender If their rights

of his mind and ecquenc", without the loss sacrifice
Of singh i.ta If southern interests and privileges.
The united Influence oftle Wing party, conferred upon
proper candidate, must he successful. The party has
now the majority in almost every state ofmporance in
the Union. Icta be presented who is popular in all
these sia,es and thr country will he saved from the

quit its hold upon the olv p-litic, will, by moral and
physical depletion. reduce i, to exhaustion and death.
| Henry Clay is the only name which can be- suggested
with any plausihility. The deseroE ofhs banner
the of the Wing defeat in 1886 Rally around
him in 1870, and victory will crown the effort.
All the Wing candidates stand pledged to sustain
the nomination of the Convention. We know already
the whom that nomination will certainly be
conferred. Let us then prepare Ia contend for him.
Whit Wing can hesitate to vote for Henry Clay! Shall
remind them Of his services of that glory he has
carnea-more glorious than the fame Of hun dred VIC
tories of blood and carnage
1t angers to hear the constant burthen repeated
that Clay lacks the personal popularity to be success
full candidate. Th. is often repeated that thousands
arc imbucd with the idea, and deferred from voting for
the only man who can truly represent the whole Wing
party in presidential contest. The truth is on the con
trary, that there is individual in tine United States
more admired and more popular, he carries weight
Of individual influence cqualed by that of any OF
the party. His name is in every mouth and even the
brnzen tongucd denagosucs who oppose him
have of late soteneh their abusive slang when they
.allme to hm-he who j. uu honor, boast Of the ma
ton 1t not Henry Cay's of personal popu-
aritv which caused his defeat in 1892, the eehe-
ness Of the wing party ITSELF ut that time which was
the true cause Of the failure. Since then have
gathered strength nil sides. Detection has taker
place in the ranks Of the enemy. ! he hypocrisy, ant
alsehood of the promises ofthe democratic leaders have
been discovered. r onsand--nav hundreds of thon-
sands have orercd their eyes the manifold glarins
Of corruption which have carat terized the gov
eminent from the prcslen, down. Driacalous, plum

is stamped upon every feature Of the Loco-foco admin
