This Cry:
What was the course of Henry Clay when
this nomination came before the United States
Senac Did be doubt the capacity oi Martin
Van Buren, TO fill this mission with credit 10 the
country! No man can believe ], Had he

uoa. made no such charge. Mr.. Van Buren,
/ had never challenged his lellow-man 10 mortal
combat. nor been instrumental IN sending hu-
man being TO an unlimely grave. The ghost Of
no murdered Ctiley haunted has reputation no

sentiment, Messrs Clay. Webster. Frelinghuy-
sen aud other ANhiga, voted 10 reject Mr. Van
