CLAY AND WEBSTER.


a. The Boston Courier, (Which may be considered
Mr. Webster's Siaudby IN Boston,) IN publishing Nit
Claws Chambersburg letter, seizes on point to re-
isliate the war made by MIR. Clay on Mr.. Tyler, and
filings back the charges of perhdy and lreachery =
This strongly indicates where MFR. Webster is TO go,
An the next campaign."-Ciooe.
The Globe takes offence at such an indtcd-
ton, and in the same paper takes up the eudgels
for Mr.. Clay, end assas Mr.. Webster worse
than any of the apolped Clay papers are doing.
We notice this fact to show that, instead OF
fighting against the common enemy, The Globe
omils no good opportunity to fight for him.
We think the principles Of Democracy have
more to apprehend from Mr. Clay in 1874 than
MIR. Webster. And we think the Globe might
manage to assail Mr.. Webster without aiding
Mr.. Clay
BY the las, arrival from England we find the
following items;
Lord Brougham made furious onslaught upon
President Tyier aud his in the House OF Lords o
few evenings back, when the affairs OF The sister
country were incidentally discussed "A person
named Tyler, said to be son OF the President has
taken part in the repeal agitation exclaimed the no
BILE Lord who proceeded to say that mo one was
--of his family" Lord Brougham, while thus Sc
we're ON the son. styled the sire the accidental Pre-
sdcnt Of the United States," but he could not be-
licve, unless he saw the document with his own eyes
that that funconay had written the letter attributed
TO him in favor Of repeal.
Any British attempt to restrict the liberty OF
speech in America, will certainly be regarded
as an insult by the American People We
have reason to anticipate a fatal collision with
England at no distant day, if such sentiments
are generally entertained by Blush subjects

wickedy and maliciously Jalse)
At an adjourned meeting Of the Glasgow Anti
Slavery Society, Mr. II. c. Wright, an American
made statement, stranger even in its manner than
| its matter
"The President of the United States is thief and
a robber; and request that this may be recorded, il
reporter is present at the meeting. CHEERS and

find an American that has brass enough to state il
Perhaps you will think have patriotism but
have ! am full Of it. 1t is not America, nor Eng
land, nor France, Europe that is my country, but
the world. (Cheers.) l have wish TO acknow.
ledge any country but the world and no countrymen
but the human family alone. Now standing on tins
PLATFORM ] say that John Tyler, the President of
Amer.ca-and have the evidence before me--sold
his own ION at auction (Sensation.) The people
of the United States, knowing the fact elected him
10 be their President. (Shame Why, it is no dis.
grace at all for man in that country to sell his own
offspring; and why should it be, if it be disgrace
to sell any body else' Cheering 1t may be more
HORRIBLE but the principle is the same No one will
deny in that country that John Tyler has children
in slavery, and that he has pocketed money for them.
(Sensation) The children of Jefferson, the writer
Of the boosted document of American Independence,
are in slavery and this will deny in
