MR.. CLAY--HIS CONSISTENCY

hh. ILA LID Ao4Noic Ia w L =
Mr. Clay never makes speech now-a-
days, in which he does not talk long and
loud against the " one man power" as de-
magogues and cIaptrap politicians are wont
to call the veto power as contained in the
Constitution. He insisted, in his speech,
recently made at Indianapolis. that such
power was " rank null ifcntion," that if the
majority of the people wills the establish
mcnt Of certain measures, that will should
be consulted. &c.
How long has Mr.. Clay entertained
these opinionsl Certainly this re 'lous at
tachment, on his part. to the will OF ma
jorities, is something new born, else in his
practice on this subject he will be found, on
examination, TO differ widely from his pro-
LESSONS and precepts. MI 10 mention
other instances o. less magnitude, il will be
remembered by al, with what sovereign
contempt he treated the will OF the majority
in the Pr, sidenti election OF 1924 Gen.
Jackson, in that election, received large
majority of electoral v'tes. and, also, a
majority over any oth'r candidate, o. the
popuIar votes of the Union. The people
ol Kentucky, almost unanimously, preferred
Gen Jacks III t Mr.. Adams, and h Legs
ature instructed Mr.. Clay, then membe +
of Congress, TO vote for the former. 1t is
plain. how Mr.. CLAY, under these clrcum-
stances, and upon his now vaunteh prlnci-
piles of ODE hence to the will of majorltes
should have acted. But how did he act
Alas, the world knows by heart. He
treated with contem 1t, tie will of the peo-
ple of Kentucky, and the Instructions of her
Legislature; he disregarded the large ma
jority of electoral and popular votes thai
had been cast f.r Gen. Jackson, and, SET
ting up in oppos lion. his own Zone man
power," he al ed in fixing upon the country'
for four years, the federal administration ot
John @. Adams, against the whI of ma
iority of the pc pie, and under such cir
cumstances as ever have end will carry
with them the suspici n, at least, not only
Of political but moral turpiiude.

stealing fruit, and fined three dollars each
and the costs otpfosecution. We are glad
that our citizens are waking up to their
duty. We hope every theft OF this kind
will be promptly ferreted out, and the
perpetrator punished. Stealing fruit is
the meanest and most vexatlons kind OF

1t requires long time and great care and
pains 10 raise fruit trees, and then to be
