MED them? Are they to take the statement OF
those who, while they invoke decision of ac-
quittal, peremptory, by their votes, declare that
the measure is so odious in all its features-so de-
or,aed in its prinqiples-that, as friends Of Mr.
Var Buren,, they cannot consent to submit it to
the scrutiny of the freemen of Americaa more
impudent-a more barefaced trick, was never at
tempted upon human crcdulity, and caxnot fail
to bring down upon its authors the reprobation
and scom of every democratic republican in the
Land.
What would be said of a Senator, who should
go into court and ask Judgment to be rendered
up in his favor, without allowing the judges AN
opportunity of Judging of the legality and equity
Of his elaim' Why, he would be committed for
contempt, and his suit elected with scorn and
Indignation. And yet the case now presented to
the people, by the majority of the L. States Sen
ate, is precisely similar, and trust will provoke
similar fate, as it is gross insult to the sense
of the people and an indisnity to the fame OF the
nation, A REPUBLICAN.

We find the following beautiful compliment
to Mr.. Clay, in the u S. Phila.) Gazette
CLAY, A HARRISON MAN.

1t is amusing enough to see how very chary
certain of our loco-foco brethren have become of
the honor and political rights Of HENRY CLAY.
They believe, good righteous souls, that he was
ssscurviv usedn br the Harrisburg convention,
that mis- great merits we're oveSAoo5ed, and that
his high feelings were insuited. We remember
when the report reached Washington, during
the session of the convention, that Mr.. Clay was
nominated, the Globo grew lachrymose about
the great wrong done to that worthy citizen and
statesman of the west, General Harrison. A
prettier specimen of party sniveling is not often
exhibited; but no sooner was it announced that
General Harrison had received the vote of the
convention, than poor Mr.. Clay is befrendeG and
bepitied. Now Mr.. Clay has no grief to be as
suaged, no disappointment TO be softened-he is
calm, content-his aspirations are for the coun-
try-his disappointmcnts are on account of her
prostration-his only political wish is for that
change in her councils which will enable her to
assume the position TO which she is justly en-
titled. There is greatness in Henry Clay, with
out the adventurous aid Of office-there is pat
riotism in his heart, without the connection be-
tween himself and delegated power. He is not
the man to shrink away to his tent from the
combat which his country requires, because the
common rewards of great achievements are ac-
eidentally withheld and he would seorn the
Baan who would impute to him lukewarmness
IN the success of Harrison, because le is not IN
HaIrison's place, as much as he would scorr
himself could he feel less for his country than
Tor himself. Let no Van Buren, man mistake
the character or feelings of the great man of the
United States Scnate-of the United States, in
deed. Let none misrepresent him. HENRY
CLAY IS a HARRISON S1AN, and so is every man
who wishedto see Henry Clay nominated as the
candidate opposed to Martin Van Buren,.

LOOK OUT FELLOW CITIZENS,

That a concerted move is to be made by the
holders to suppress the truth until after the
November elections, no that looks properly
at the events can possibly doubt. The late ex-
position of abuses in the Post Office Department
by MIR. Bolts, speaks volumes, and would con-
vince any unprecedented mind if nothing else
were wanting, that the party in power are deter
mined nothing shall rea Ii the people, save what
comes through that prosttuted vehicle, of which
Ken hall is the head.
In several parts of this country, so LITTLE con-
fdence is reposed in the post offices, that many
persons seek other means of conveyance, rather
than subject their communications to the scruti-
ny of faithless agents, who, though sworn to do
their duty to government, prefer the less amiable
distinction of being considered the servile tools
of party.
scheme is now foot to prevent any con-
Veyance whatever, save through the medium of
the post Office. gentleman arrived last even
ing from Washington, assures us that such pro-
ject is on foot, and with view of giving color
ing to the proceedings, it is to be bottomed on the
espionage OF an agent named Granville, former
ny removed from the post Office in Boston. This
gentleman says he has seen the rough draft of 4
law, concocted by Kendall, Niles and Hobby
and that more unblushing infringement of the
right of the citizen, was never attempted even in
despotic country.
kendalPs attempt to smuggle through the
mail at the expense of an incorporated company,
is fresh in the minds Of our readers. and we all
Tecolect how he talked on that occasion, and
laid the company might as well have arrested
the trunks OF passengers, to stop his ss5lock
trunk yet this same man participated in franz
ing bill which goes to prevent carriers from
proceeding backwards and forwards with letters.
or in the words of this law, "any written or
printed pieces of paper" under heavy penalty.
We would advise every man to keep vigil
liant eye over Post Offices in the villages and
counties That the party meditates this move,
we think cannot be doubted; therefore we would
advise that when papers, letters, packages
are not promptly received, to call those officers
10 rigid account. Let every citizen, when he
makes a confidential communication to a mem
Der OF Congress, when he franks a letter Oh
package OF importance, make a memorandum
the same: for they may rest assured, that neither
the tenacity of the wafer nor the sanctity of the
seal, will always be proof against the s'cmi
osify" of the hirelings of power
We know that Kendall was forced from office
BY the complaints of some of his own partisans,
and the President might have selected, if he SO
desired, SEINE individual in whom confidence
could have been reposed. That Kendall should
have become the organ through which the Presi-
dent views are given to the people, and Niles
appointed to preside over the conveyance of po-
itical communications, heightens our convic-
