Mr. Clay, in his Lexington speech, declared that
no man could accept hold Office under Mr.. Tyler,
without being disgraced, and that on the exit of the
Administration clean sweep should be made. The
motive for this remark cannot be misunderstood. No
man knows better than MIR. Clay that Mr.. TyIer's
prescription OF thoroughgoing and sincere Of both
parties, and his appointment of deserers and time
servers who come in as thrd-party men to assume
steathy flike the fox in the able) what they never
conquered, has rendered his appointments generally
odious, and created wish for the universal sweep
which he threatens. He is therefore, anxious that
the Democratic party should admit Mr. Tyler to its
embraces acknowledge an identity of principle
with him--recognise his appointments as Democra-
nc observation-disclosures responsible for him. for
his measures and his ndmnisration--take on itself
the obioquy OF the Wing removals he is making
and, by adopting him and the state Of things brought
about by him, preclude all hope of reformation, even
IN case OF change of the Chief Magistrate by the
election Of the nominee of the Democratic National
Convention If Mr. Tyler could fasten himself, and
the results of his NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. on the Demo-
cracy, Mr. Clay is well assured that it would have
the effect not only of mparting new energy to his
own party, but that it would parayze the exertions
OF every honest-hearted Democrat 10 the Union No
hIgh-spritcd true-minded friend Of Democratic
principles would have any faith in the doings Of a
Convention which received Mr.. Tyler and his patro-
nizing instruments into its bosom.
Its true Mr.. Clay used such language. But

knowledge the disgrace" of his own son,

like he thus shows his sincerity in producing
the opinions Of Mr.. Clay as guide for the De-
mocratic party. Such men as Hobbie, Harris
Bryan and WATSON, are "deserters and time
servers" in the Globes estimation, and The Van
Rensselaers are the Hsncere men" The
Globe is comforted, however, with the know
ledge, and-We were near saying agreement
between the parties-that if either Mr.. Clay or
Mr.. Van Buren, is elected there will be s.uni-
versal sweep"
Is not the idea most ingenious, that, because
MIR. Clay is g anxious that the Democratic
party should admit Mr.. Tyler TO its embraces
Tor this reason, the party should permit the
Globe to yomit him out of the ranks for fear he
will insure Mr. Clay's election? Mr. Clay, in
his old age, has become miracuIousIy candid ;
and he does not hesitate to tell the Democratic
party that, if il receives the support of the mil
lions of friends of this Administration, il will be
sure to be defeated by him (Mr. Clay) And it
is as extraordinary miracle to hear the editor
of the Globe assert that he believes what Mr.
Clay says on the subject to be true Generous

worthy of each other
