HENRY CLAY HEADED BY At
TEMPTING TO lIEAD CAPT. TYLER.
II is evident that Henry Clay was
among the FIRST in attempting TO break
down Mr.. Tyler's administration. That
i, was Mr.. Clay's ambitious spirit that
first caused division in the Wing ranks.
Embi.tered by his defeat at the Harris.
burgh Convention, Mr.. Clay lost no op-
portunity TO wiring his vengeance upon
all who were instrumental in preventing
his nomination. Embittercd, yea, even
to desperation, he has sought to break
down every one who has dared to oppose
his will. But Alas! poor, mistaken NOR
,al! He has brought upon himself the
opposition OF those whom he sought to aid
him. lie has sccurcl, for the remainder
Of his life, tho opposition Of those who
were once wont to help him 6gh: his po-
.l,tical battles. The support Of the mass
Of the American people is forever placed
beyond his reach. That he has headed
himsclf,n attempting to head Mr.. Tyler,
there cannot be doubt. Ills opposition
to the administration Of Mr.. Tyler COM
merccd Immediately upon his ascertain
ing that Mr.. Tyler would not be sup
PIE tool for him, and play obedience to
lis nod. But VIVA, has Mr.. Clay gained
by this opposi,ions Has lie gained the
appreciation Of the people? Let the re-
cults ofthe late elections in Louisiana, in
Alabam:, in Georgia. in Soutl, Carolina.
in North Carolina, in Virginia, in Mary
land. in Delaware, in Pennsylvania. in
in Maine, in Ohio, in Indiana, in Illinois,
in Missouri, ard in Arkansas answer.
Has lie gained the appreciation Of the
wing party? Let the Speeches Of Mr.
Webster end Mr.. Gushing and tho letter
Of Mr.. Spencer, three Of the most proml
nent mon in that party answer. Has hc
gained the surety Of being the whig can
dida.c for the Presidency in 1914? LIE!
the opposition Of a respectable portion o.
the wing journals answer? The truth is
Mr.. Clay has completely headed himself
in attempting TO head MIR. Tyler; and the
reckless course pursued by him to graft
~ his own ambition, has lost him many
Of the laurcls he had heretofore won. a!
this early day, too, we seriously doub,
whether he is us mucl, esteemed among
the masses as Mr.. Tyler. That hi.' acts
when placed in comparison with those Of
Mr.. Tyler will not receive cqunl appro
baton has already been decided. Wha
chance then has Mr.. Clay to become ,he
next President of the United S,a,es?-
What chance has he even for the noni
nation Of the wing party? These arc
questions which his friends are now at ,
loss satisfactorily TO answer. They see
that to go into Presidential camping,
with cnndidate, who is the avowcd adj
vocatc Of National Bank. Of a High
Protective Tariff and Of the Distribution
Scheme, they must be defeated. There
Is no man in the whig list of aspirants for
the Presidency who will meet with MS
severe opposition i'll his own party as MIR
Clay, and we are sure there is no man in
the United States whom the democracy
would prefer beating. Who are Mr.
Clay's friends? Who are they who
are advocating his cause? They are the
monicd men, the aristocracy Of our coun-
try. Although but a comparative y small
number, they have ,noncd influence.
and that influence will be exercised. Blu,
we fear not its effects. The mass Of the
people are beyond its control. Where
then, we ask, has Mr.. Clay TO look for
support? 10 the farmers Of our cou.,-
try whose interests he has always oppos
ed, and still seeks TO oppose by the pas
sage ofa high protective tariff? TO The
laboring class Of the community, whose
wages he has sought to reduce? To the
Pioneers Of tho ives, whom he has brand
cd us outlaws? To our adopted citizens
whose privilege, he endeavors to restrict
Surely these classes Gun never give thei.
mid to tho elevation Of Mr.. Clay to tho
Presidency. Can he look to the oppo
nsnts ola Bank? 10 the Tyler wings? te
tho Webster wings? to any bu, the monicd
men and the arts. ocracy for support? Is
not then his election out Of the question:
Time will show.
