- We behold. continued Mr. Clay in his
emphatic and eloquent manner, the rasages

tionary AdminisiI atoms of the present and
the past We see them in disturbed coun.

stitutional records OF the Country. n All

Hanson was the man best calculated 10

Clay, that his election is cerain. This I
say not in any boasting or over confident
sense; far from IT, Bull feel sure almost
that there are twenty states who will give

in conclusion, from our Revolutionary an

breeze which will defeat our adyersaries

President ofihe United States.
