NJ A WING OF ONO.


the Liberty mon " is, that "ilcnry Clay is the |
Wang candidate for Prcslcnt ana they cannot vote
for him. because he is stakeholder" Ny first an /
over TO this obj elton is, that Mr.. Clay il not the
candidate of the Wing party, at PRESENT. and whether
he will be, is quite uncertain. Nor can adult II to /
be good or sound policy for me to withdraw from the /
support OF good men al iiis iHc for the that
think bad man may be candidate two years
hence for another Office. Again should Mr. Clay die
before the next Presleu1l election should he not
be n candidate, how can they justify their withdrawal
at the late election from the sup lor of men who
openly avow and support every principle which they
do tll msclvcs. Nv next answer is that Mr. Clay,
under the laws Of kcnlucky, is permitted TO hold
slaves. Bl the Constitution of the United States that
is made no disqualification i|on Office is an OBJ
jet unknown 10 the Constitution and we ought TO
be careful how attempt innovations upon that in
siruncnt, unless they he made IN the mode pointed
out for its amendment.
The first President, under the Constitution was
stakeholder; and the shareholders Of those States
have an equal right hold ollic' that gentlemen who
rcslc in the free States have. Forus, ut this day. 10
establish such rule rs n lost office would he
violation othe rights Of the people OF the slave States
This is, in my opinion, highly Objectionable. 1t would
show wiling to iBrGdg their rights, while we pro-
frss to m1lnt1in our own. This would be inconsi.t
ent. Oar inquiry should be, ,rin he maintain Ii.
Constitution, du6 ,rW he s,ppoT The constitutional
rights 0fGN parts crHe Iai0n? If we are satisfied
that he will do this we ought not 10 throw away our
political influence and SUtr our interst our honor,
md cur constitutional rights to be tramped under loot
by party who appear anxious TO bring us under the
gu lection OF the south. ! would, in all candor, ask
onr Liberty mon, Whether they would not prefer the
support Of our rights by sayohod.Gg President, n
