The Stolen Letter from MIR. Clay.

Mr.. Thomas Jefferson Smith, a Justice of the
Marine Court, diates in the Evening Post on
the subject of the private letter from Hon. H.
Clay to C. NJ Clay which was stolen from our
table, broken open, and published in the Demo-
crat. Mr.. T. Us. appears to feel rather unconn-
Portable about the matter, but that is fault of
ours. AS we have never accused him of stealing
and violating the letter, we DO not sec why he
should bother himself to make people believe that
we dropped the letter in Canal.street. At any
rate, there is no truth in that preence. The let.
ter was stolen from our table in the inner Edito.
rialroom of this office; and if any body pretends
to have found it in Canal-st. why don't he mani
fest himself? When we can find him, we shall
be so much nearer the chap who put the letter
down in Canal-st, in order to have it picked up.
1t strikes US that Justice would be better EN-.
ployed in fereting out the felohs in this business
than in standing up between them and the
public.

The Wing party he's been defeated IN the late
Election, but that defeat has not impaired The
soundness OF Its principles nor superseded the ne
cessity for its vigilance and patriotism. 1t has
still power to postpone. and very possibly prevent
the success Of those blieful projec,s,-the over
throw of the Protective policy and the Anne1a-
ton OF Texas,-against which it has struggled
SO manfully. LIE: it but maintain It's attitude CT
resolute resistance 10 these and all similar MIS-
chiefs. and their consummahon will bs prevent
ed, or only effected in e shape 50 modified and
partial as to do comparatively little injury to the
Country.
We are able to hold the Destructives COM
pIetely at bay this winter, and we cannot doubt
thatit will be done. On the meeting Of the new
Congress under Polk's Administration. our oppo-
nents, by securing the Virginia Senator or one
other in place OF any Wing who may die or re-
sign, will have the complete control OF the Gov
crnment. They can annex Texas, if their Sen
ators from New-EDgiand, New-York and Ohio
say Amen. They can destroy the Tariff, if Bu-
chanan and shadow of Pennsylvania go IN for
that policy, and George M. Dallas (an ultra Ia
riff man of old, who even voted dead against the
Compromise Act OF 1883, because he deemed 1t
too little Protective) gives the casting vote for
Caihounism.
Well, if they choose to do these things-the
People having chosen to give them power-why
shall they not be done? Let the Wings resist
them faithfully and maniully 10 the last; let
them pass by The votes of those who must bear
the responsibility. And then if it appears that
their policy does not work SO well as was promised
If i. gives us broils abroad instead OF Peace,

the People can apply the corrective at the next

All we ask is clear enunciation of Principles
on each side, and faithful adherence to them,
and the Country must inevitably settle upon the
right conclusions. 1t is this eternal trimming,
twaddling, compromising that confuses and per-
verts the public judgment. Give US two years OF

another argument in behalf Of Protection for ten
years. The matter would take care Of ITSELF
