THE NEXT PRESIDENCY.

The advocates of Bank, and the foes of the
Administration, are preparing for the Presiden-
tial campaign. Clay clubs are forming, and
caucuses and newspapers are nominating Mr..
Clay as successor to Mr.. Tyler. In the inte-
rration, and the tranquility of the country, they
seem to have no share of sympathy. All things
and all men are TO be made to bend to the nexo-
rable decree OF building up Mr. Clay upon the
rdlns of John Tyler, and the unceasing agitation
of the question of a National Bank.
From the mass of evidence before us on this
| subject we select extracts from two papers, and
subjon from the manuscript the proceedings Of
a meeting in Kentucky:
From The N. Y. Times and Epening Star.
If the friends of Nj. Clay are determined to make
this issue, they must have paper in this city which
they can call their own which will not he to-day for
Mr.. Webster, tomorrow for General Scott, or the
next day for President Tyler-a paper the head Of
which they place their own editors, and thus con-
troll its columns. We have no hesitation in saying
that they should now come forward and take the
TINES & STAR-and with capital foundation, sound
principles and fattering prospects, they up
the broad banner of Henry Clay and successfully too
Seven-eghths fthe Wings in this city Clay men
Ia vast number are rich, liberal, open-hearted, and
true.
There is no difficulty in raising eight or ten thou
sand dollars, which will give the transfer of this
establishment to the Clay party, and furnish the means
hereafter to carry on the paper The friends OF Mr..
amount in gratitude for his services: is there any est
mate to the eminent services of Mr.. CIay2 The Clay
party must and will have paper in this city, and we
submit to them whether it is sound policy to take
this establishment and add to it all the success and
the new interests which such change will produce,
instead of allowing it to stop, which it must in few
days, if no aid is at hand.

NEXT PRESIDENCY.
Believing that the time has now arrived, FASTENED
by the Providential bereavement of the beloved and
amented HARRISON, and the betrayal of trust on the
part Of the now Constitutional President for the
Wings OF the Union, who constitute very large ma
orty of the people of the nation, to cast about them
for man upon whom to bestow their undivided SUI.
frage at the Presidential election and believing
that own preference is and will be- sustained by
the cordial and triumphant cooperation of the Wings
the nation, ofthe West, Of Ohio, have placed the
ever glorious name Of HENRY CLAY at our mast.

his unbendng integrity, elevated to the Chief Ma

the Constitution the duties of the office of Presiden

by unholy exercise of the Veto power has thwarte
the bright hopes of thousand of suffering country
