remarkably sober; he never drank even

MR. CLAY AND PROTECTION.

Mr.. IngersoH, a LocolOco member Of
the House, from Philadelphia, publicly
charged Mr.. Clay short time since
with having abandoned the principle Of
Protection to American Industry. The
following correspondence Of the United
States Gazette shows how and where
Mr.. CLAY stands on the subject, and in
wha. position he has placed Mr.. Inger-
soL:-
Mr.. CLAY was in the House OF Repre-.

The Vice Presidency.

The Wing nomination Of a candidate

in addition to The high character, SOUND
