The GOd-like's opinion or M
Clay.

The GOd-like's opinion or NIr.
Clay.
A pamphlet has been lately issued from
the Madisonian office, intended for general
circulation, Which contains, among other
tlirgs, Mr.. Webster's exposure of Mr..
Clay's purpose to abandon the principle
Of protection, together with series Of es-
says dissecting the character Of Mr.. Clay,
re-published from the Madisonian Of 1912
'43, said also TO be from Mr.. Webster's
pen. The Madisonian itself hints strong
" that this is the fact. We find the first
Of these essays in one Of our exchanges;
and as the wings manifest great pleasure
at again finding Nj. w. in their ranks,
encouraging them with his oratory and adj
vice, we think it highly proper tat they
should he made acquainted with the opin-
j n entertained by him less than two years
since Of their candidate. For this pur-
pose we give brief extract:
.'The people Of the United States, not under
alung his talents and abilities for certain OBJ
jects, yet do not see IN him tat mild, moderate
guardian and parental char cter in which thew
love to contemplate the Chief Magistrate. MI.
Clay is dogmaticai, opinionated. Between him
and his friends, even the most attached, there is
no Intercourse Of independent mind; there is no
mutually Of respect and Difference; nothing like
confidence upon equal terms. Years have not
sofiened these repeiling qualities. and when his
supporters approach him, he expects and will
admit nothing but fealty and homage. All this
is not said loosely and inconsiderately. There
is not one of his friends who i'll hot admit its
truth. With these characteristics, however he
may draw admiration, he cannot inspire love and
confidence. The feeling is general, and it is
true, that he has no sympathy with the great
body Of bis conntrymen, but that he builds his
no IS Of success upon brilliant achievements, on
political mahGuvres, on compromises, Of which
he has as many, and is generally as successful in
them as Sir Hugh Evans in the Merry Wives Of
Windsor, and on the INSCRIPTIONS devotion OF
his uphoideis and partsans. ~
Even then. if Mr.. Clay wee to be supported
now once again for the sixth time, by thei whig
party, there would be, there could be no hope
Of his ultimate success, unless indeed, within
the last year or ,wo he has himself wholly
charged for the better, or new lights have bro
ken in upon the People. Of the fate Of the
wings, should they put Mr.. Clay's name for
warl, let the recent events in twenty Of the
twenty six States tell. The very suspicion that
be is to be the candidate, Joined to the knowI-
edge Of his movements in the last Congress, and
hi conduct during his retirement. has been sufi-
cient to change triumphant Ha-r ison majority,
II twenty States, into well beaten Clay minor
ity. II 1874 the result will be the same.
TO raise M. Clay i imposs bly,. To sink with
him, II the attempt be made, inevitable"

II Mr.. WEBSTER addressed large
wing meeting at Albany, N. y. some three
weeks ago, in speech Of great length,
which we now have before us. The only
thing remarkable about it is, that from be-
ginning to end the name of Mr.. CLAY il
not mentioned even once; nor can we per-
ceive, from a hasty examination Of it, that
any allusion whatever is made to him that
will bear favorable Interpretation. In
deed, it might be fairly construed into an
attack upon that gentleman; for the first
half Of the speech consists of an attempt ia
persuade his hearers that the constitution,
as It Is, is the perfection of wisdom, and
should be preserved inviolate; and the 9TH
er half is entirely devoted to the defence
Of the protective policy. Mr.. Clay, it is
well known, has avowed himself to be in
favor Of changing the constitution in an i'm
portant particular; and according to Mr..
Webster's own statement, he was also
ready, but few years ago, to abandon the
principle Of protection entirely, and actu-
ally had bill framed ready to be submit
ted to Congress, containing pledge that
duties should not be levied upon any for
eign article with view to protection.
The support given to Mr.. Clay by Mr..
Webster is so cold and forced, that the
wings will probably cease to drag him out
1t political gatherings, a. has been their
custom. s

A correspondents Of the ST. Louis Re-
porter, in alluding to the speech of Hon.
+. +. MAasHAII 1t Nashville, ssys:
"A chance allusion by some one in the
crowd TO Gen. Jackson, turned the cur
rent Of Mr.. Marshall's thoughts in that
direction, and he pronounced most glow
ing eulogy, not only on the military but
the civil career Of the Old Hero. He said
he had conversed with Gen. Jackson on
the Texas question within few days, and
that he verify believed if the Old Hero had
turned his attention 10 the power Of Ian
guage-to rhetoric,-as he had to military
science and the administrative art, he
would have transcribed as an orator all
men Of whom history makes MENTION
fThis tribute to the conversational power
Of Gen. Jackson is well deserved; for
when conversing on the subject Of annex
a,ion he appears more like one inspired
than any other man TO whom have ever
listened."] &,'
The editor of the Detroit Free Press
being also on the ground, thus also cor
rectly reports Mr.. Marshall:
In speaking Of the recent election in
Kentucky, he said: Gentlemen don't abuse
her yet; wait while longer; remember
that the ides of November are to come;
and it may be they will prove as disas-
trous to certain modern Dictator as the
ides Of March did to that other dictator
who threatened the liberty Of Rome. He
also spoke Of Gen. Jackson, whom he had
just visited, in the highest terms Of admi-
ration, saying that he found him with Ills
mind i'll full vigor, and his eyes flashing
with the brilliancy Of a thousand victories.
The whole speech was, in fine, msster
effort, exhibiting some Of the highest pow
ers both Of the judgement and the imagin-
alton.
u Rumor states that Mr., N. p. Tall
nmdge, tie new Governor of Wisconsin,
has abandoned the wings. and is coming
/ cut in favor of Mr.. Polk. Itwonld not be
surprising should the statement prove TO
be true. He has been with the wings
about as long as he can stay with any
party, and it is time he should make an
other somerset. Besides, he failed to get
the wing nomination for The Vice Presi-
dency, Of which he was understood to b
exceedingly envious
