fMr. Clay had conformed TO 'iht
wishes and will Of his constituents, anC
voted on the other side, the Bankrupt
law would have been repealed, and The
wholesale reputation of private debts
Witnessed in ls42, would have been
prevented. The bankrupt law was
therefore, Mr.. Clay's law. His WILL
passed and preserved it, in defiance OI
the will ofhis constituents. HIS WILL
WAS LAW.
But this 'man Charles who would
not regard either the word instruct nor
the word request nor any other evi-
dence of the will Of his master, did NOT
con6ne himself to nero disObedience. -
He turned round and tod his master,
that it was a work Of inhumanify and
cruelty which he required him to do; so
inhuman and cruel that he bad not the
heart TO do it, so atrOciOus, that (says
hey Il CANNOT, | WILL NOT DO
IT, ...
But lest we should be charged with
msrepresentIng him, we give him a lit
teral extract from his speech on the oc,
casion as revised by himself: viz.
Should the work Of destruction be &C.
complished, they will not be days Of mer.
cy bat Of cruelty and inhumanily.
Their condition (he deblOrs) resem-
bles that of innocent and unfortunate
men, long and uDjusiIy incarcerated in the
dark walls of jail. Its door is half open,
they are rushing towards it, pale, ema.
ciated, and exhausted, the light of heavr
en- has once more beamed upon th cir
haggald faces, and once more they be
gin to breathe the cool and pure air OF
an uncontaminaled atmosphere. At This
instant of time the Senate is called upon
to drive them back 10 tn cir gloomy cells,
and to fling back that door upon its gra.
ting hinges. And | am invited TO unite
in l0is work Of inbumanity and cruelty!
have not the heart to do ii! have
not The hand to do it! cannot, will
not do it!'-See App, to Cong. Globe
1912. page SO.
Who is it that Henry CLAY thus charac.
terizes asAIONSTERS of inhumanity ami
cruelty?
His colleague in the Senate!
The entire delegation from Kentucky
in the House of Representatives.!
The entire, Legislature Of Kentucky!!!!
FOUR FIFTHS OF THE PEOPLE
OF KENTYCKY!!!!
He not only disobeys his constituents
but be INSULTS them! They are too
heartless and cruel to be obsyed by SER
want so tender hearted and so gentle hand
ed as Henry Clay!
All! if that heart could have felt little
for the wife and children of the murdered
Ciley.-.
Helry Clay's WILL in defiance of bis
cons tiiuents, gave President to the ma
ton:
Henry Clay's WILL, in defiance of
bis constituents, has once given Bank. I
rupt Law to Kentucky and the na-
tion.

for the Hrst offence; he iS.nOw on trial for
the second. ltremains 10 be seen, ,wheth
er Kentucky will reward with her support
1 SERVANT who disobeys and insults
her, whether the nation will place at its
head, man whose STUBBORN WILL |
regardless Of The most sacred obligations

Law to demoralize it. fhis WILL is
LAW when in subordinate station, what
