From The Old School Republican,
ACTUAL UNION OF THE CLAYITEs AND
RADICAL LOCOS

1t may be known to our readers that we have EN-
charged and charged seriously too, upon the conbi-
nation, the appearance, at least, OF UNION
between these two parties. Among some it was at
first laughed at idle whim-among others treated
mele joke. We MT much in the habit of
travelling out of the road in making such broad al
legations, nor would we willingly intimate what to
many may seem SO unnatural union, without rest
ing our lnsinuatons upon some good and substantial
foundations something that will naturally excite suS-
piciOn and diitrust
The GLoBE of the 7h inst. has rather refreshed our
memories upon this particular point. 1t publishes
with much apparent exuation, the entire speech of
Mr.. CLAY on his famous retrenchment resolutions
occupying does, the exclusion of almost every
thing else the whole of the reading matter upon two
pages OF MI. Benton S paper. The usual accompa-
nying notes of the editor are left out. Still farther
in the same paper, find the following charac-
terstic aph in reference to the Philadelphia Gus

this present time found himself conveniently soournng
if some dark coalitiona coalition threatening to the
great interests, if not to the future liberties of this
country, is not about to be consumm ted between
these two late rival aspirants to the Presidency
We submit these queries in all seriousness. IT'S
time the Globe should clear its skirts from all such
unjust imputatcns upon its character if false, and to
admit it if true. But can have no hope of its
bracing the latter alternative, until PUBLIC OPT

dark and cunnng-no plot deep or ingenious as

people, or escape that prompt and ready exposure
which is awarded to the false and the faith
less.
