THE INTELLIGENCER-MR. CLAY.

Some months since, and we doubt not our
readers remember it, we intimated our belief
that as soon ss..Congress adjourned the highly
diplomatic Intelligencer would cast about for
some intrigue by which Mr.. Clay Qike a true
booded but supersnnuated horse) nigh, be de-
Gently led from the field. We doubt not the
Intelligence is sincerely friendly to Mr.. Clay
but it caonot live on friendship alone. II nee

possible, less obnoxious man, who will stand
some chance Of success-st least, under whose
auspices there may be returned enough mem.
bers TO the goth Congress to give the Intelli-
gencer the printing.
But The Inlclligcncer cannot abandon Mr..
Clay abruptly, wi,hcu, danger of a serious re.
bound. Hence 1t essays, most gralulously and
unceremoniously, not TO say unjusti6ably, to use
Mr.. WEBSTER as a sterping-sto to attain its
ends. We clip the following extract from its
editorial Of this morning:
We see IT asserted, in a positive manner by wri.
tiers whose authority generally 10 be relied upon
that the retirement Of MIR WEBSTER from the De
pament OF State J. owing TO the fact that he could
not follow the leader, and 60 with others into DIES

Now, if the LEADER referred TO bv The In

ton in saying that the lnteIligencer is reckon
ing without its host. Mr.. Webster is, and w,
doubt not will continue to be, the able and un
hinching supporter of this very "leadcr,
against whom The Intelligence vainly strives tc
array him.
The intelligence will find it necessary Il
adopt some other means to abandon Mr.. Clay
