HENRY CLAY IN THE FIELD.

Well might Mr.. Clay tell the Wings of North Ca
rolna the other day, that though withdrawn from tho
Senate, he did not mean to be IDLE or indi6erext The
Wing Convention of North Carolina, which assem-
bed at Raleigh on the 4th inst, have brought him
into the field as their candidate for the next Presi-
dent. The General Committee Of that Conven-
ton have ushered him forth with great flourish of
trumpets. They denounce Mr.. Tyler in unmeasured
terms. They charge him with treachery to Q party
which brought him into power-with having vetoed
their Fiscal Bank, and recommended repeal of their
favorite and absurd Distribution Law-and with
prodigate abuse of the patronage of the Govern
ment for his own advancement. They then unquali
fedly nominate Henry Clay of Kentucky as the can
didate of the Wing party for the next Presidency,
sand pledge themselves to give the nomination a
hearty and perseyering support" The selection of
Vice President is to be made by their Central Com
Inittee with the concurrence of the Wings of the
other States, or to "a Convention of the Wings of
the State"
Here, then, is ''Harry of the West" openly in the
feld-the Champion of the Federal Party, of the ati
tudnous construction of the Bank, Of the Tariff of
Dstribution-of every measure, which is calculated
to strengthen the Federal Government at the expense
of the States. Such, citizens of Virginia, is the
great issue for your consideration. Will you have
Henry Clay, whom you have three times repudiated
and who makes a very mock of the doctrines of
your Schools And now will you take to your bo-
som, and vote into your public councils, those men
who will move Heaven and Earth to elect him p
Give your answer at the polls. M

q SANTANGELO.0

We observe note with this signature in the
Inteligencer attributing to us motives and rea-
sons for rejecting certain communications sent
us for publication. Santangelo" remarks:
But the Madsonian, looking only at their date,
and not imagining perhaps that prophecy regards the
future and the past, declined their insertion in his
columns old things For the same reason no at
tentlon should have been paid to the writings of
poor lsaias, jeremiah Habakuk &C. by their postery p
Now, if the Texans should prove triumphant,
(the communications referred to that country,)
if the Mexicans should not have the courage or
ability to take advantage of the neglect OF the
Texans, "Santangelo" may be compelled to ac-
knowledge that he is no true prophet. But, ad-
hitting that his prophecy were true-admit that
Texas is about to reap many bitter fruits for not
needing hint can neither avert the calamity,
nor afford the People the least consolation, to be
told that the evil might hare been avoided if
Santangelo's" voluntary advice had been lis
tened to and acted on.

limbs refused to bear them farther-when En-
rope was one vast scene of blood, of terror, of
distress aud agtation-Heaven still tempered
its chastenings--there was still consolation for
suffering humanity-the Emperor was COM
fortably bestowed in his warm, soft carriage,
travelling at his ease, as usual, only peradven-
ture a little faster!
So TO compare great things with small, is IT
with our Chief and our People. We see this
great country, suddenly struck down, and
PROSTATE ON the earth-her gigantic energies
palsed, her restless activity fettered her late re-
dundant treasury empty, her unrivalled credit
gone, her officers unpaid, her creditors alarmed,
her service crippled, her hopes dimmed, her
honor tarnished-and all this at moment
when the station which God has given
her among nations, has called upon her to main
tain their rights and hers in a solemn discus
sion with the first power on EARTH This is me-
lancholy enough, and we might despond, if duty
and courage ever knew that craven word. But
it is melancholy-yet we are not without conso-
lation-to some of us soothing, and sufficient
one. Our Chief is " well and comfortable" in
his retreat, and hopes soon to be better
Be comforted. oh, People You and MILL
ons of others may be reconciled to these unlocked

The following anecdote related by the CONSTANT

great armies at home, and sent forth many ships
more than the English But the soldiers did not
move. and the ships sailed towards opposite shores,

QUESTION AND ANSWER.

The Madisonian Of Saturday in arguing upon the
necessity of sustaining the President, says:
Are the of the nation less pressing because
Mr. Tyler is President 2"
We believe it will be conceded on all hands that
they are not-U S. Gazette.
Frankly answered, and true. But does the
fact of his beng the President justify the Wing
majority for obslinately refusing to supply g the
wants of the nation 2" Aud is the President to
blame because Mr.. Clay suppressed Mr.. Ew-
inp,s bill at the extra session. 50 We believe il
will be conceded on all hands that" the Two
subsequent plans could never have been put N
successful operation.

THE CLAY BALL.

The festivities incident to the removal OF the
Kentucky statesman from the debates OF the
United States Senate to the arena of an cleo
pioneering campaign, under the peculiar clrcum-
stances of the country, has forcibly recalled to
us an observation of Madame de Stael in regard
to Bonaparte. "Nothing," says that brilliant
woman, "could give liveler idea of the inn
penetrable, marbe-hearted egoisme of Napo-
leon, than few words dropped in one of
the Bulletins of what had been the Grand Army:

MR. MANGUM-THE MADISONIAN-T
PRESIDENT

Our horoscope did not belle us. 1t never
does. Mr.. Mangum has truly made direct
demonstration against our press. He has not
yet brought forward his bill to decapitate Us,
but his portentous speech on Tuesday last was
the forerunner of that event. 1t was the sha-
dow cast before it,
On this subject we would make serious re-
mark or so. We have seen unequvocal ndi-
cations Of settled purpose on the part of our
enemies to put down our press. Unless fire
and murder are resorted to, they will be defeat
ed Regarding the Executive patronage that
Messrs. Mangum, Davis, and Bolts have been
whetting their wits on, whether we should ever
receive it, or whether it should be placed by
these puissant champions toreuer beyond our
reach-our course will be the same. 1t has
been so restricted and economised, that to have
it at the present rate of compensation, would
in many instances be a burden instead of ben
eft Therefore, we repeat that we entirely in
different about it. Neither Mr.. Mangum's acts
nor threats shall deter US from supporting,
most heartily and conscientiousy, the pre-
sent Chief Magistrate. If we have any de-
may succeed in his meditated move to control of
the printing the Departments.
If there is not patriotism sufficient in the
country-if there is not sufficient number of
people friendly to the Administration to support
the Administration press, without the extrane-
Gus adjuncts which produce the eternal cry OF
"Executive control" on the part of grave Sc
majors, then let the Press cease its operations.
Let it cease, and what then Does Mr.. Man
gum think that the suicidal policy of himself
and his peculiar Compensated uni ust and in
excusable war on the Adminstration-their ne
glect Of the vital interests of the country-will
be impenetrably yelled from the eyes of the
people? Vain thoughts The blow that brushes
our press will be fatal to those who deal it. The
People will see it all. They will interpose ;
they will sustain us trumphantly. Mr. Man
gum may declare in the Senate chamber that
our press is under the control of the Executive.
| We declare that we feel independent. Let the
matter be tested Let the tremendous "pabu-
um" of the Executive Departments be taken
from us and see what will be the result. We
desire to prope to all men that we support and
defend good and wise Chief Magistrate, be-
cause he is entitled to the support and defence
of all good men and all independent presses.
And if there is one man who now supposes
that we are actuated by mercenary motives, we
shall strain every fibre to win him over to the
support of an upright Administration.

MIR LAMAR

We learn from a source entitled to the high
est respect that the Mr. Lamar who has lately
addressed letter to the Savannah Committee,
in regard to Texan affairs is not, the individual
whose name was connected with the revolution
in that country Our remarks on the subject
were founded on an article which we found in
one of our exchange papers. The author of
the letter in question is said to be merchant OF
Savannah of great responsibility, who is be-
lieved never to have been concerned in Texan
affairs

From the United States GaSette.

The following specimen of Loco foco wit and vera
city should be credited to the Fayetteville North Ca
roliniaD:
&C. Mr. CLAY-ALL FOOLS DAY--Mr. Clay being
candidate for the Presidency, retired from the Senate
the first Of april, to prepare and qualify himself
for the Office. The day is ominous, and we should
moi wonder if he made an April fool of after
ALL"
The editor of the paper probably knew, if he knew
any thing, that Mr.. Clay was TO refine from the Be-
nate on the 3lst of March.
But his Alexandra letter was written OH the
first of April If he did not make an April
fool of himself by that, let the Gazette copy the
letter
The Madisonian. [volume] (Washington City [i.e. Washington, D.C.]) 1837-1845, 1842-04-14

But we are frank to say that we do not anti
cpate any pecuniary loss by the change in
contemplation. A few thousand dollars worth
of materials will lie idle in our job-ofice, but
our power presses will soon throw off thousands
of sheets where hundreds are issued now. The
friends of truth and justice will no longer be re-
nate the Madisonian throughout every section
of our widespread Republic.

THE PUBLIC PRINTING.

We understand that it is proposed to cause the
Government printing, in all its varieties, to be
executed in an office to be est ablished in this
city, under the superintendent of persons
appointed for the express purpose. This move
ment has our most hearty concurrence, as being
away with the rivalry and ill feeling generated
by the competition of partisans in behalf Of
presses devoted to party ends. The saving,
under the plan proposed, will, if we are rightly
informed, amount to not less than one hundred
thousand dollars per annum, a reform well wor-
thy the most serious and favorable considera-
tion In advocating the change, we entertain
hope that existing contracts will be followed OUT
to their fullest extent and that the journals or
individuals who may have been so fortunate as
to obtain the printing of the two branches of
Congress, will be permitted to enjoy the benefits
of engagements, with view to the fulfilment
of which they have incurred heavy expenses.
We think that the proposed plan will not be
palatabe to the conductors of partisan presses
generally but feel well assured that to the people
of the country, it will be acceptable as insuring
sound economy. AS things are and have been,
we have no objection to enter into fair compe-
ntion with our neighbors for any advantages that
may be presented; but we regard economical
expenditure of the public treasure as matter of
too much importance to be counteracted by any
selfish views.

Ernnl The Defrnif Efee Pres,

THE WHIG CoNGREss.-The country has never
been dissatisfied and disguised with any Congress,
as the people of the United States now are with the
now in session at Washington The neutral and
moderate wing papers throughout the Union are full
Of censure upon it, and resolutions of complaint are
adopted by public meetings in various parts OF the
Union. We have before the proceedings OF
very large meeting of Merchants held in Philadelphia
last week. by which it was unanimously resolved
"that the country has looked in vain to Congress,
during four months, for defnitive action upon matters
vitality important to the people, to the States and TO
the credit of the whole Union, until hope deferred
sickens the heart of the nation"
MIR. Clay did it.

THE CLAY DINNER.

The Philadelphia Inquirer copies a eulogis-
tic account of the Clay Dinner in this city. 1t
states that Mr.. Clay rose and delivered an APP
propriate and interesting address," Now, that
address contained fierce attack on the Admin
istration, if other reports we have seen are cor

THE END.

Mr.. Clay, peace to his ashes has gone. The
dinner and the dance are over-we hope plea
sanity to him and all Commemorative could
willingly ourself have danced by the hour to pro-
cure, for the sake of the country and the Peo-
pie, such result as his retirement to the oft
threatened "shades of Ashland" long ago. For
his own sake, for the preservation of his own
reputation, though we owe him no love, we
couId have wished that he had sought those
peaceful shades before.
He might then have been gutless of so much
mischief to his country and party, have spared
himself many storm of passion and his friends
many an outbreak Of disappointed ambition and
bitter modification.
But he means even now to seek no repose.
The great object of desire is yet unattained,
and, while breath and strength remain to him,
the struggle for its attainment will not cease.
He has moved his scene of action from the
Senate to broader theatre, and means to make
his Ashland an Elba.
We have heard it said twenty times that there
think that the time had come for MIR. Clay to
withdraw, and although it was fully known that
he would not withdraw with real purpose Of
retirement, all did not expect though some did,
that he left the Senate for field of hotter war
fare.
That he will leave much of the bitterness of
his spirit behind him, there can be little doubt
There are those who will essay to bear his ar
NOR, but they will be crushed by its weight.
With all his overbearing temper his great I'M
prudence, his extravagant love of effect, it is not
for Mr.. A, or Mr.. B, or Mr.. G, to make his place
good in the Senate. In depth of chagrin and
disappointment, in animosity toward the Ad-
ministration, and zeal to thwart its measures,
they may all be Mr.. Clays, but here the compa-
rison fails. They have heat without strength,
evaporation without power, and purposes Of
opposition without comprehension and without
other aim OF object than opposition itself, and
the chances which it may afford to advance their
(avorite.
Mr.. Clay's sagacity was clouded by his ambi-
ton and his anger; neither these, nor any other
causes, are necessary to dim the intellectual eff
fulgence of Messrs A, B, and c..
