c!udes all foreign competition; and her prime Mln-
lser has recently announced 10 the world that the
protective principle ls an essential part, an rfevo'

Having showed that Tariff for Protection was
and had ever been the True policy Of the Country,

in the spirit Of the generous principles whlsh g!oHed

any thing TO forfeit the confidence OF his County.
! lie had ever sought the greatest blessings for the
greatest number his voice has always, and every

Almost every page of our Countrys History for the

the PATRIOTISM, the services, and The never aiteriGs
devotion OF Henry CLAY.

and rei'choed through the whole length and breadih

shame the reckless libelers who have filed II with
their riperous abuse

candidates The other side was To say, that iber

principles and that the people determined 10

had borrowed our principles, we must cling The co-

Ii was about II O'Clock as be concluded, having
! spoken some twenty minutes with characteristic
energy and elo1nence. Cheer followed cheer as ne
retired, and long after the meeting dispersed We
could hear shouts schoing among the hills in every
direction, and the melodous notes OF the homeward
bound yeomanry as they chanted the praises OF the
men and principles which lay nearest their hearts,
gave evidence that the patriotic old County of SoE-
erst will stand by her iavoritc son in manner alike
