Party OF the Union for the next Presidency Indeed
II IS seldom, very seldom, that we hear of SOLITARY
individual oil our party opposed to the Western
Statesman. This preference for the great orator ia
eonhned TO no particular section--it peryades the
entire Union. So decided is the manifestation of
pubic sentiment IN reference TO the question, that
we really oegn to think that q national convention
OF the Wing Party will be a useless procedure. The
only uuIty OF conventions is to ascertain the pre.
ponderance OF opinion ia relation to rival ,sprsnts
Public aeeiaHdiioH has already indicated. in the
strongest possible manner that Henry CLAW. of
henlucky, IS the FIRST choice of the who's Of Tho
Union. Aud the decision is a most risbteous -, nd
ludiclods one. Mr. Clay Is better calculated to
govern the destInles OF this nation IN the present
per'ous crisis Of affairs, than any man in America
indeed, NO ~ the only man whose intellect and nat
rlotism are adequate TO the difficult task OF
he vessel oi state from the shoas and ouieksands
where she was guided and left by the ruinous poli
cy OF Loeo'oeoism. The people of this country are
beginning inly 10 appreciate the virtues and talents
oil Henry Clay. They at length perceive that for
years past he has been the innocent victim OF SANDER
and peIseeution-that amidst all the gloom that sur
rounded hun, he has constantly devoted himself IN
his eOIntry-that his policy, once condemned and
disposed, Is the only policy that can procure prosper-
for the naton-and that his is the hand that M
heretofore upheld ond sustained our sinking fortunes
And they will sustain him. He will be elected
President OF the United States in 1874. by a ma
