HENRY CLAY.
To one who has not closely watched the
onward progress Of public feeling, il is al
most astounding to see with what force and
velocity the sentiment in favor Of HENRY
Clay is showing itself throughout the whole
length and breadth of the Union. This feel.
ing is confined to no class of men-the
Farmer, the Merchant, the Manufacturer,
the Mechanic, all, all are under its influ-
ence. To him, and to him alone. they look
to lead them 10 the coming struggle. His
eminent public services, his SURPRISING tai.
ents and unrivalled eloquence proclaim him
as the man to act as the chief Of the great
Wing party. His political enemies admire
his ffankness and envy his patriotism. He
is no one-sided, non.committal politician
like Van Bnren. With such a leader. one
who unites in himself all the requirements
of Statesman with the fearlessness of free
man, who can doubt the result.
The Loco-Foco party, already in the mi
nority. are split up and divided-some are
for Van Buren,, some for Calhoun, and some
yet for Col. Johnson. Discord and anarchy
-quarelling and chickering's reign in tri.
umph in their camp. The loudest of their
DISCLAIMERS are already sounding the public
mind 40 to the feasibility of throwing the
Presidential election into the House Of rep
resentatives. But the misguided and infa:-
uated spoil hunters will find that even this
sforlorn hope will be denied them. The,
People are fully competent to manage their
own concerns and elect their own officers.
The Loco Focos cannot throw the election
into the House. They may run only one
candidate or half a dozen-HENRY CLAY can
outstrip and beat them all. He is sure of all
or nearly all of the States which were car
ried by Gen. Harrison. Indeed, we do not
know of one of the States which went Wing
in 1s4Os which will 60 against us in l64A-
Whereas there are many reasons why we
should carry some of the States which cast
their electoral votes for Van Buren,.
The conflicting views of Messrs. CLAY
and VAN buren, on the tariff question alone
are enough TO elect the former, without
bringing any other question before the Peo-
pie. While the former proclaims his ap-
prevail of the present Wing Tariff, the latter,
for the first time in his life comes out openly
and utterly disclaims il as ,oeu in principle
as in detail Ifthis is not enough to disgust
ofi frionas af American Interests. we do NOT
know what would do so. But upon Inis Is.
sue alone, we do not fear to 60 to the trial.
The spirit. stirring appeal of the Carlisle
Expositor to the friends of Henry CLAW.
does credit to the patriotism and talents Of
the editor. In the course of the article tO
which we allude, the editor says:
