untrammelled by the complicated ties of small
party drill, and regarding the good of the coun-
try, the whole country, are guided in their judg-
mens by the pure principles of the old republi-
can school OF Jefferson, untainted by commix-

versy, with which they have since been per-
| picked.
The following paragraph is taken from the
Mobile Register. In the act of resigning his
seat in the Senate and of becoming candidate
for the Presidency, Mr.. Clay in consonance no
doubt with his notions Of the dignity becoming
both stations, has thought fit to make personal
attack on the President. His conduct has
| brought on him the merited and manly rebuke
which we give below. We value the extract
however, mainly on account Of the liberal spirit
ltmantests, and the proof it furnishes that GER
tain would be tyrants over public opinion are
not 50 omnipotent as they would themselves
family believe, or would have others to think
Neither the people at large, nor conductors of
the public press, will suffer themselves TO be led
blndy by party dlcators at head quarters The
Register, though Democratic journal, is by
no means influenced by Mr.. Benton, nor die
tated to by the Globe.
1t happened that we did not see the Advertiser yes
terday; and nobody thought it worth their while to
tell us how much of the attention of the editor vas
therein bestowed upon little paragraph of ours, in
Mondays Register. II is only by Lthe accident of
taking up yesterdays paper for .odays, hat we
to the knowledge of the political significance he is
disposed to attach TO our brief comment upon Mr.

the North Carolina letter. He seems to think it be-
tokens a and marvellous affection for Mr.. Tyler
that should consider Mr. Clay actuated by mo-
tiyes of men rather than tv elevated sense
of the real dement's of Mr. Tyler politician and
a man. We have had frequent occasion before, to
notice that indIscrlninae devotion to Mr. Clay in
the columns ofthe Advertiser which allows no doubt
Of his nfallibity, and treats all dissent from his
opinions question Of his conduct, proofs Of
4 want Of integrity and intelligence This mental
slavery to political idol Is again exempitied very
srikngly in the arraig of this paper for ques
tionns the proprety of such formal denuncatlon Of
the President, by Mr. Clay himself notoriou sly about
to be candidate for the Presidency, and implying
that the Of this vituperation more
in the political faults of the President towards Mr.
Clay, than his deficiencies as statesman and chief
magistrate The conduct and motives Of President
Tyler fit subjects for examination by all persons
and verify the political press devoted to Mr. Clays
interests, has exercised its privilege this head
without scrupe, moderation or tolbearance. But

perhaps, in partisan press, and excusabe by
of high political excitement is no, quite consistent
with the dignity of retiring Senator-retiring with
professions on his lips of Kindness and courtesy to-
wards all public men; and with the avowed intention
of being candidate for the Piesdency-a purpose
in which the OF the President is thought to have
breated weighty obstacles TO his success If it be
Tyerism to express such opinions of Mr.. Clay's evil
dent bad temper, and dscourtesy towards the
President, there is much larger Tyler party than
we had thought for than Mr.. Tyler himself can
look for. 1t will not be " third party however
for these sentiments will pervade not only with the par
ticuai friends Of Mr.. Tyler, and the particular oppo
nents of Mr.. Cay-but will, we have charity enough
to suppose he entertained by many of the friends Of
Mr. Clay himself, who cannot but be sorry that he
should lower himself by opening his campaign

lingushed Gutar-player, gives concert this
evening, Monday May 9th, half past clock at
the Apollo Hail To the superior excellence of this
eminent artist the Boston, Philadelphia and N York
papers have done great justice. That Mr.. knoop is
admitted by the musical world to be Of the great

the following extract from the celebrated German
work. the Conversations Lexicon in the article
