The following anatomy of an aHice in
Saturdays United States Gazette, has been
handed us by friend who supported General
Harrison in ls40.]
"MR. CLAY HAS NEVER BEEN DEFEAT
ED AS A CANDIDATE FOR THE PRESIDEN-
CY."-United States Gazette, .4ug: 25.
Is there any sane man in the United States
that believes such an absurd and apocryThal as
assertion? And yet il is quite as true a, mum
berless forged facts from the same mint, which
pass as current coin only with driyesrs and
dotards. With such an advocate as the editor
Of the United States Gazette, no wonder Mr..
Clay has never succeeded TO the Presidency
though he has been standing candidate for
more than twenty years, run twice himself once
by proxy, and the fourth time, to secure the
plate for the succeeding heat, he rode as Jockey
10 Mr.. Adams. And yet, says the edito Of the
Gazette, Mr.. Clay has nerer been defeated
as a candidate for The Presidency" Pray,
what does the learned editor consider SIDE
leat?n
But let us see what Immediately follows our
brief quotations
"Wben Mr.. Adams was first nominated at the
close Of Mr.. Mohroes administration, after the can
had been continued for long time, few ear
nest friends Of the tariff nominated Mr.. Clay, not

show the successful candidate their feeling touching
protective tariff, and also TO invite the votes Of
tam politicians, who would notvote for Jackson, and
could not vote for Adams"
Tina, Mr. Clay vas not .pqmiRaisd Jill ':.ail!er
for Mr. Adams, we totally deny; but that Mr..
Clay was nominated, "not pih ann erpectd-
lion Of elecfing him. we most readily admit ;
and this shows the utter profligacy both of his
advocates and his principles. What precious
concession is this, for the principles of Mr..
Clay's party, and the prospects Of hi. future
success, TO be run, time after time, not pih
any expectation Of eiecting him 2"
"At the next election MIR. Adams was the candi-
date against General Jackson, and was defeated
Why did not the editor add, that Mr. Clay
was Mr.. Adams Secretary Of State, aud
brought the whole power Of his party, (Which
gave him thirty-seven electoral votes IN 1881
TO Mr.. Adams aid, headed by General dpathy,
who won brilliant victory in true Wing style,
in fdror Of the enemy-Mr. Adams having lost
one Of his own original votes by the suecor of
his ally
AT the next election, the friends Of Mr. Clay raj
lied in his behalf; bot at that time Anti-Ma
was rampant, and the party gave up their man, and
compromised their principles, and MIR. Wiz, was
not run-but held up"
What "pany gave up their man and com
promised their principles 2" The Wings 2
Though the party might have Compromised
their principles" if they had any, NJ. Clay
was certainly not given up, for we have the au
thority Of an address (put forth from Pennsyl-
vania, and published ia the National Tnteii-
gencer of the 2Olh of April, 1888, If we mis-
take not for saying that,
"In 1899, Mr. Clay was the opposing candidate 10
Gen. Jackson, in every State OF the Unio,, except
Vermont and Pennsylvania. In Pennsylvania a
ticket was formed for him. and 20 hopeless were his
friends OF making even a respectable poll that the
fctof toas tci hdra,on, and union efecied with the
friends Of MIR. Writ and even then 1t was defeated
by majority OF more than $4,000 !"
MIR. Clay got but 40 votes to Gen. Jickson,s
2l9, Notwithstanding he was nominated in |
every SIaic Of the Union except tvo.-And |
yet, says the Gazette, "Wr. Clay has aerer
bern defeated as a candidate for The Presi-
deney"
When Mr. Van Buren, became the candiAte for
the Presidency, he was opposed by Gen. Harrison.
And was not Gen. Harrison opposed, too, 1
by Mr.. Clay's proxy And did nd MIR.
Clay, and all his friends, exert all ih6r en-
ergy ADD enmity and antipathy, and "d)afhyn
in Pennsylvania aud New York, a. ainA Gen.
Harrison in 1896, by which he was defraubed Of
the electoral votes Of these States, which tould
have elected him President7 Nobody hows
this fact better than the editor of the uhited
States Gazette; and why does he blink il ,ut of
sight, except in accordance with the bliAing
principles OF his parry
During the administration Of Mr.. Van Buren the
friends Of Mr.. Clay rallied.
And what made them rally7 We csnItell
