The Democratic Whig. [volume] (Columbus, Miss.) 1842-1843, 1843-06-01


Ever an annon, We ind mysterious hints
throw out in the Democratic papers, that
Henry Clay Is n0t, aher all 10 Be the Wing
Candidate that he is ultimately 20 be put az
ide as unavailable that the Harrisburg ex-
pertinent Of 1910 viii be played over again
When these surmises come 70 be scrutinz-
ed and examined closely, they vanish mo tim
air No evidence is adduced 10 support them
beyond bald assertion here, or an unau,hor'
lied supposion, there. In truth the Loco FO-
co uish that Henry Clay may not be the can
didate Of the Wing Party Is father 70 the
whole strategy BY which the Loco Foco
party are endeavoring 70 shuttle Mr., Clay
out o. the positiod which he fis with the UNI
ted concurrence Of the Wing party Of this
country.
.sDowu, busy Devil, down :"
Mr.. Clay Is not thus to be whistled down
the Wind. and the great Wing party is not BY
! such shallow expedi ents as these 10 be chous
ed a second time out Of their privilege and
Their preference. They are for Mr.. Clay with
in a fraction Of unanlmity, and with and ardor
and huariness that Will tolerate other Whif
candidate, and brook no second dsAppoint
tleht. Already have they Yielde enough to
a patriotic spirit Of compromise, and founi
themselves rewarded for It By John Tyler
introduction into the Presidency, and by Fat
itself becoming their ioe They will com
pound no farther, and now they are resolve
either to win triumph which viii be worth
Of the name and productive Of the proper re
suits Of civil revolution, or they are prepare
in the other alternative to sustain a concluslv
and final defeat.
No more compromises No more tempoi
ising No more cowardly capituations wit
/ expedency CLAY, If He ISALIVE, f
. the next president, or else let the VIII
party dsband, and dcspiring Of the direct a
complishment Of their patriotic purposes, il
corporate themselves with their victories Al
{ versanes TO temper as far as they possib
can the cruelty of the conquerors, Il they al
so disposed, and 10 promote indirectly VIII
they believe sanitary for their country.
= We do not believe that my WING med
, tates the exchange Of Henry Clay for any OF
er man. Ifthere be such an one, calling hin
self Wing, we would not give a pinch Of snl
), for his Whiggery. We have never seen su
4 a Wing, and never expect 10 see him, N
= either, that the Wings are addimed TO 4
: idolatry Of man worship They revere N
q Clay in certain sense indeed but Il is as p
+. trioiism veneraie the valor which has rescu
= the country from slavery, or The wisdC
! which has made It great and prosperous
Il the Athenians veneraed Themisiocles or
1t eristides as all rational creatures are bou
d to venerate him whom the Creatcrlhas Undo
ri ed with a superior intellect, and with pub
- virtue correspondent to It. Thus the VIII
/ think Of Henry Clay, and thus thinking, N
+ are altogether unanimous in the purpose
r supporting him for the highest station who
best qualified to adorn Il, and throu' his inst
y mentality; to promote the happiness and gIC
Is Of their o0mtry.
il All these shallow Devices" Of the enel
i 70 create suspicion and to detatch the WI
~ party from Mr.. Clay will prove unavaiIing.
