A WORD FROM MIR. CLAY.

We have declined since the Election to pub-
lish any thing calculated to bring Mr.. Clay need
lessly before the public-hardly more from re-
spect to his feelings than to our own. We have
never regarded bu, with contempt the silly COS.
sip of those who talked of 'pitying Mr.. Clay"
He stands above any mans pity. We pity the
deceived thousands who have cast their votes a.
gainst him under the influence of SANDERS as
foul as ever commended the hemlock to Socrates
or drove Aristides into exile. But we feel that
MIR. Clay has now right 70 exemption from
pubic gossip. We have private letter, howev-
or, from an eminent friend in Kentucky, stating
some facts which Mr.. Clay's friends will hear
with profound interest, and we extract few pas
sages ~ Y. Tribune.
LEXINGTON, KY, Nov. 10, 1914.
"Lasi evening l visited Mr.. CLAW at
Ashland, and passed some hours with him, talk
ing over the events Of the last few months, and
the prospects ahead. found him aone-calm
and seii-poised. He seemed to forget himself,
and to be anxious alone for the Country-and
his friends, whose fidelity and devotion, he OBJ
served, he should never cease to cherish as above
ali earthly price. The various combinations a.
gainst hIm--the Infamous frauds in presenting
the Tariff Question to Pennsylvania, &c.-tho a.
trocious calumnies on his private characier--were
all alluded to, and stated some facts coming un-
der my own observation giving yet darker
shade to the picture of the inalignity with which
our great Statesman mas been hunted down.
"W Clay tciH again
return 10 public life. His career as a Statesman
Is ended. The measure Of his fame is complete.
His life will one day be written by an impartial
Pen' and while the calumnies by which he has
been defeated in his last appeal Tor justice from
MS contemporaries will sink into oblivion, every
page OF our Counry's recent history will be illa-
otism."

MIR. TYLER'S RELATIONS TO THE NEW AID
MINISTRATION

The Evening Post (remarks the New York
correspondent of the National Intelligencer,) re-
pudiates the idea that Mr.. Polk will exercise, in
the composition of his Cabinet, any deicacy to-
ward Mr.. TYLER. 1t says 'There is no such
F." relation between President TYLER's administra-
" ton and that which will succeed it, as in the
slightest degree TO embarrass Mr.. Polk in the
composition of his Cabinet" This is signif.
cant. What is true of the Cabinet will be true
of all the Offices in the gift of the Federal AL.
ministration.

s5-rhe Providence Journal says tina, "iherc
is no longer the slightest doab, that dcsper-
ate effort is to be made by the Dorrites to
gain possession of the State Administration of
Rhode Island. Their committees have alrea-
dy been appointed, and their party is already
organized, and waits only the registration to
be in complete fighting order. They boast
that they will add to the list two thousand
names"
Thus Dorrism, it seems, is likely soon to
become practical question. The people of
Rhode Island are to have their soil invaded,
and their government overturned, by set of
ruflans collected from the lanes and alleys
of neighborng cities. They have declared o.
yer and over again that they wish to keep their
institutions as they are, but restless faction
at home, embracing lean minority of the CT
tizens, have conspired by means of foreign aid,
to effect radical change in them. And,
strange 10 say, this lawless movement, so in
iquitous in itself, and SO viola,ve of the rights
of sovereign State, has the coun,enance and
support of the Locoioco party pledged TO it in
advance, even here in the South, where there
has been such great outcry agans. the inter-
ference OF Abolitionists with our Institutions !

The existence of Registry Law in New
York would nave prevented a great deal of
unfair multiplied voting there, in the late cleo
ton; and have possibly turned the scales in
iavor OF MIR. Clay, to say nothing of the ile-
gally naturalized foreign suffrage. There are
seventy-five places of voting in the metropolis
alone, which number, under the present loose
system, greatly facilitates the opportunities Of
fraud. A registry law deprives no man entitled
to vote of his right and if an honest reason
can be given, why this law, once in force,
was abolished [by the Locos,l we should like

New YORK, Nov. 2S, 1914.
Winter has made rapid strides towards do.
minion during the last week. We have our
first snow-storm to-day, and the weather is
cold and frowning. There begin to be devel-'
opments of great suffering among the poor of
our city. An excellent association for the i'm
Provement of their condition has been formed
by number of our most esteemed citizens.
Their object is to establish permanent sys-
lem OF discriminating alms-giving. They
nave divided the city into sixteen districts,
which are subdivided into two hundred and
thirty-six sections. Committees and vsiters
have been appointed, and the public are call

mendicancy may be the cloak for imposture.

though but partially successful, have been
worthy OF all praise. 1t appears that more
