The aristocracy--the few a5 usual, had all the
influence OF that mighty engine, the press, opc-

CATION and dissemination of their own selfish

not in vain, on the freemen, by the love of their

Tho People are enguiring what they are to do
TO be s4yel--not from the dangers and evils that
await them in another world--but il this. The
nomination of Henry Clay for the Presidency,

threatened by trinity of abomnatiOns, viz:
high-tarilf, national bank, and abolition. This |
state of things, together with the approaching |
election, renders another call necessary. We
