COMFORT FOR MIR. CLAY.

Not a day passes that we do not observe in
dlcatlons in the South of a determination to re-
turn TO the pure old Republican standard of poll
tics. Other sections, too, are manifesting de-
sire to embrace once more (and they will not
let go AGAIN. the true doctrines ofthe old school,

of the times, three-ffths of the People will re-
solve themselves into great, irresistible and
glorious REPUBLICAN PARTY.
But where will Mr.. Clay be left? So far be-

THE NEXT PRESIDENTIAL. ELECTION.
Although two years until the regular period for cam
wasting the merits of candidates for this distinguished
station, the Wigs, Harrison State Rights men of
Georgia. are eyincng, in more than county meet
ing their anxiety to elevate Henry Clay, the rejected
OF all parties for years past to the Presidency.
For ourself, we can perceive why the
real State Rights Of Georgia should forget their
opposition to the late Senator from Kentucky based
at first on his deserton of the Republican party his
alliance with J. q. Adams, his hostility to the rights
OF Georgia, his advocacy of protective tari1-of a
National Bank contrary to opinions once cherished
by him. and last not least, his petty hostility the
President who was too honest to be governed by die
tatoral mandates
We shall see whether the principles of this advo-
cate OF the American system will be the principles of
the State Rights men of 1925.
We v ould be thankful to know what Mr.. Clay has
done since March, of that year, when his appoint
ment to the office of Secretary of State was disap.
proved, and voted against by Messrs Berrien and
Cobb, then Senators from Georgia, entitle him to
the support of any portion much less any political par
ty, of our fellow citizens.
With all our admiration Of his talents and public
services, we have viewed him. for the last seven
teen years. politically obnoxious 10 the people of
Georgia.
Has Henry Clay changed since that epoch, or have
such OF the people of Georgia, threaten to support
him, changed
That he is amenable to objection, we show by
the publication this morning. of one two extracts
from Georgia Wing papers, whose editors exhibit any
thing but an ardent desire to rally TO the support of
this renegade from the Republican ranks-this Ame-
rlcan system, Force Bill, National Bank and Uisrl-
button politician.
As for our political friends, let them avoid every
other question at their contemplated Convention to
nominate candidates for Congress, than the conside-

premature TO agitae another subject before the
public mind becomes settled on such gentlemen as
the Democratic candidate, the party will when the
time comes, be united in supporting.
The Milledgeyille Recorder remarks on Mr.. Ha-
beIsham's report the Tariff, which it styles "adni-
rable as follows:
"We ask for it the serious and candid attention of
our ftllow-ctzens The subject discussed is one
destined, we plainly perceive, to be prominently be-
fore the country, for we cannot say how long, but
certainly for no very limited period. 1t will take
long time, In our opinion, to convert the Southern
States into advocates of the principle of protection.
The NlilledgeVille Journal, in abiding to the same
document from our independent Wig Representa-
tive remarks
The subject is an important one has produced,
and will again produce, much discussion and nvesti-
gation-and we would therefore advise all to read it
1t needless to say that heartily approve of the
principles of the report for all know that ye have ne
yer occupied any other position than opposition to
Tariff for the protection of domestic manufactures.
We have never thought that our Government was
created for the purpose of taxing portion of the
people to enable the other portion to grow rich. Such
opinions formed in our early days have been strength
ened from experience and mature rehecton--and we
hope never again TO adverse opinion p-edomi-
nate either in the North, East, West or South"
