CALHOUN AND CLAY.

01FOur Northern exchanges seem to
regard these two distinguished statesmen
as already anoincd for the Presidential
canvass Of a. Wethnk it al least prob.
able, that neither, however, will be solici.
ted by their respective parties for the
Presidency. Should the names Of Cal
houn and Clay however, be proposed to
the American people, whilst party en;hu.
sIasm might be excited TO as high degree
perhaps, as in any former contest; yet
we can surely anticipate manly contest
for principle, from the high and elevated
character of The men. We would rejoice
to witness a bold, honest and patriotic
contest for the highest office 10 the world,
untainted with party asperity, violence &
delractlon; 10 see the two great antagonis-
teal champions, entering the contest with
an eye single 20 the general interests and
welfare of the country; planting them,
selves firmly upon the basis Of their poIiri.
cal principles, and avoiding the recrimi,
na!lon-abuse aud slang. Such contest |
SO conducted, would sink into their mer. +
tied ins gnlfcance, those miserable driyel. 4
ling party packs, who iGtesi the land, like a
the locusts of Egypt, and retail in small 1
parcels, to small numbers, such an amount "
OF the base calumnles. with which they le
are supplied at regular intervals, by 81
emyty headed partlzans. Like little Tub
mats, they get head Of water weekly, g.
they do grind most nolsily until the stock
is expended; they then shut down their :,
flood gates, awaiting supply, per next :
mail.
John c. Calhoun aud Henry Clay, are "
perhaps, the most SPACIOUS and able :"
statesmen in the world Near thirty years a
since, they commenced their career in a
our national councils, and soon dlsln>
gulshed themselves as the champions of :,
the late war; on that question, they done
battle on the same side. From the lower
House they followed each other 10 the tt
Senate; both have been msmJers of the 81
cabinet, and neither ever held judicial -
station. Their lives have been spent in =
the active arena of politics. They now :
entertain principles Numerically opposite, :"
MIR, Calhoun declares indiscriminale war
against banks and privileged orders
against high and oppressive tariffs; against al
extravagant waste Of the peoples money; S

Mr.. Clay is decidedly in favor ola U. tr

protective tariff; distributing the proceeds ,r
.ot the public lands Of the new States, TO

we have become the first nation Of the tn

The above are main points of difference Pr
and upon this, the election of 1914 will pu
