D received the suffrage Of the

guishcd citizen who received the suffrage Of the
Convention"
Allow me here to say, continued Mr.. Clay, that
his election is certain. This say not in any boast
ing or over-conli1em sense far from it, But 1
feel sure almost that there are twenty States WHO
VIII give their votes for Harrison. DO not the plo-
RES OF this day authorize the anticipation of such
victory! | behold lcfore Inc more than twenty
thousand irccinen, and is it anticipating too much
to say that such an assembly as this is sign omi-
nous Of triumph.
Mr.. Clay then warned his friend. OF two great
errors IN political warfare TOO much confidence,
and too much dependency. Both were to he fear
ell. There should be no relaxation. The enemy
were yet powerful in numbers and strong in or
ganizatIon. IL became the Wings, therefore, to
abstain from no audabe cxcrion necessary 10
success. "ShouId we fail, he added, should Mr..
Van Buren, lie reelected, which calamity God
avert, though he would be the last man to despair
of the R,pubIic,--he believed the STRUGGLE of res
torng the country TO its former glory would bo
almost hopeless one. That calamity however,
or the alternative, was left with the twenty thou
sand Wings here assembled.
We received our liberty, said Mr.. Clay, in con-
cll'>ion, from our Revolutionary ancestors, and wa
are bound IN all honor 10 transfer It unnpaired 10
posteriy. The breeze which this day blows from
the right quarter is the promise Of that popular
breeze which will defeat our adversaries and make
William Henry Harrison the President Of the u.
States.
. Mr. WE5STF,R'S ADDRESS.
Mr. WEBSTER was now loudly called for, and
addressed the multitude from another quarter Of
OF me stage TO the following effect -
Mr.. Webster said that he feared the attempt 10
make himself heard would be vain one. Never
before had the land IN which we lived seen n spec-
taclc like the present. We count men bv the tbou-
sands. They are here from the border. Of Cana
ia and the rivers of GetEsia.A TiAyutc here from
the scacoast and the heart Of the connirv. Tho
States are hcre-every one Of them through their
representatives The 'OM Thirteen ofthe Retublio
are here from every city and every county, between
the hills of Vermont and the rivers Of the South.
The neD thirteen, too, are here, without blot or
STAN upon them. The twcntv-six States arc
here. No local or limited feeling has brought
them here-no feeling but an American One
hearty attachment to the country. We arc here
with the common sentiment and the common feel.
ing that we are one people. We may assure our
selves that we belong TO a country where one part
has common feeling and a common interest with
the other.
The time has come continued Mr.. Webster
when the cry is change. Every breeze saws change.
Every interest Of the country demands il. Tho
Watcwom and the hope Of the people u.s. that
WM. II. HArRtsoN should he placed at the head Of
OF Affairs. We may assure ourselves, continued \
Nlr Webster, that this change will comc-come 10
give 10y to the Many and sorrow only to the few.
