 ], We must not desplse the enemy at this l time. We cannot disregard the strength, the fiery spirit, the sleepless ambition of Henry - Clay. His friends are determined To elect him. They are already boasting of their = prospects. One of his most adroit attaches l vauned, but inc other night, ill the Clay club . of this city, that they would carry more than :, twenty States. His friends profess to be as Q sanguine in their hopes, as they are devoted r in their purposes. They are organizing 10 the utternost, and arning 10 the the teeth. They are scattering Clay clubs all over the i Commonwealth. In 1910 they had but a single log-cabin club ill this city. Now, they have set up club in each ward of the city and they intend to have one general club for the whole city. Thus far have they gone al- ready and, with such wreckless spirit have they commenced their operations, that rIr l,a,. I,, name, and commit them to their daring cause in black and white, like the enlisted soldiers of a regular army. To this formidable or ganizaton which they are proposing to ex- ecue to almost every hamlet and precinct in the Commonwealth, they are uniting the most extensive means of influence and ac- tion. They have money freely at their com mand, in the purses of individuals, ill the scrip of the lundholders, and in the hands of the rich and greedy manufacturers. They have appliances Ill our cities, which baffle all calculation. The bar will supply them with missionary orators; their swellingpurses will furnish the sinews of war;'' their clubs will cover the land, like the frogs of Egypt. Again will a central committee of Washington abuse the lranking privilege of Congress, to spead humbug publications and shameless misrepresenations over the coun- try; again their presses will play every trick, and abuse every Republican. The whgs will spare no pains, and exert every effort. In a word, if you will permit them--if you do not veto their purposes-they will raise Henry Clay to the chair, and invest him with all the power and patronage of the Executive Government. What may be the consequences of this revoluion-what fearful measures he will contribute to fasen upon you-what new mroads may be made upon the Consti- tuhon-what new encroachments will be at tempted upon the rights of the States and the people, 1t Is not for our tongue to tell, or our imagination to conceive. The first step will unqnestionably be the establishment of giant bank. He and his friends will say tha; the issue was made before you during the can vass, and that. hv. his electinn. -,he= people oc the United States have decided in favor of a bank, in favor of distribution, in favor of an oppressive tariff, in favor of that whole brood of monsters which is to pour out from the teeming womb of Federal usurpations
 Will you, then, lend your hand to his ele- vatlon: ou will not vote for him but will you consent to fritter away your forces
 
 not suspect one of you of any intention to abandon your party; but if you fall into deadly iueds-lf you refuse your votes to the strongest candidate-or even if you become supme and inactive in the common cause 1t will produce nearly the same results The wings will go into battle under one leader we may march on under different candidates All their forces will be united-ours will be weakened by division. Every man of them strikes at us; whilst we are striking not only at them, but at each other. Gan you expect to achieve the victory under such distracting circumstances Will you sacrifice your prin- ciples for any man. Will you consent to I throw the Republic into the arms of Henry Clay, because one of you prefers Artaxerxes to Cyrus, or Mahomet to Mustapha?
 Look, too, at the events which are now passing under your eyes, Is il wise in us to despise an enemy who has just proven him. sell so desperate and so strong The recent elections Ill Tennessee and Georgia, North Carolina and Maryland, Pennsvlvania and Ohio, ought 10 stun Us into our senses. They admonlsh us, in a voice that cannot be dis regarded, of the necessity of abandoning our internal dlssensions, and of uniting our forces agalhst the common enemy. Those very dissenslons, indeed, may, in part, have con trlbuted to our recent defeats.
 We throw ourselves, therefore, with the pledges of the past, the lights of the present., and the dangers of the future, upon your good sense and your serious consideration. unlte your forces against the common en- emy. Turn your batteries upon them.- Draw not your swords upon each other If we are divided, and they are united, how can we dare expect success The prospect of our divisions is even now the secret source of their spirits and their strength We in- yoke you, then, in the name of the Republic, to the practice of moderation, forbearance, harmony and union. Let your rallying words be union, union, naion : action, action, ac- lion : Strike altogether, and strike home ,,non the Whigs When you hear the frionds
