decaclion, that public men are 10 he destroyed in
this country. They more often prove the curses
which flung up in the face OF Heaven, return
10 consume the offender. MIR. CIay's own case
is an Illustration OF The truth Of what We say -
We question if he is indebted nearly 50 much 10

Again. in The same paper
"lhc American people have ALREADY stamped
them Oibellous attacks upon Mr.. Clay as false,
&c.
Now, since Mr. Clay has been defeated, would
not every one naturally conclude. that the Rich
mond Wing would attribute his discontinue 10
the unpopulariy OF his political principles, or to
his personal unpopnlarity 7 But such is not the
tact-lor, in the Wing of November 10Th, Mr.
Claws overthrow was attributed 10 "oas" aud
unworthy envy Of his excellence" which base
envy the Wing had stated only few months be-
fore TO he the chief cause Of his ''unhonnded po
pn!aIitv." Neither can the Wing attribute the
defeat of Mr. Clay to libelious attacks upon his
private character, with its previous declaration 10
Tue contrary, that The American People had
stamped them as false Nor can The Wing with
Justice attribute Mr. Folks success Ia IAN OK

defeat is chiefly owing 10 his "Federal notions,
