IT. We notice a contemplate fling
at Judge Hunt, in the last Journal,
charging him with recommending the
people TO vote for a dead man for Con-
gress. When the death of Mr.. Parsons
reached town, a few days before the cleo
ton, we believe Judge Hunt dropped
the remark, that as the news could not
be disseminated through the State, ii
might be well to vote the ticket as ii
stood, with the whole five names upon
it. For this the Judge is denounced
by the Journal correspondent, who, by
the by. pretends to be Democrat, but
calls upon God in his mercy 10 save the
country from the curse of such DemOc,
racy as is held by that staunch, unilIch-
ing Democrat, Ezra Hunt.

TIRE sentence, which completely destroys

CoyTEurTIBLr.-The PolkiteS, say
some Of the wing papers, are very busy
in getting certificates from Gen. jackson,
in favor of their candidate for the Presi-
dency. Such contemplate, pitifnl, low
flung abuse, is every way worthy Of a
portion of the whig press. The fact
that the moral character of james X.
Polk, the Democratic candidate for the
Presidency is spotlcss and pure, and
shines with additional luSter. when on
~trasted with that of Henry Clay, hurts
the feelings ofthese unScrupnlouS scrib-
blers-and as they can see no way 10 re-
duce Mr.. Polk 10 a level with 'thc
Mill Boy of the Slashes' in point o.
morals, except by downright lyeing and
coarse personal abuse, not a few of the
more profigate and unprincipled of the
wing editors, are busy cencocting and
circulating the most vile and %unblnshine
SANDERS against Col. Polk, the hem o
whose garment they are unworthy t'

u The little Wing .buuldl across
the way, says il is a source of gratitica-
ton IL the universal wing party, that
their candidate for the Presidency de-
clared when he became a candidate, that
he would not un'er any circumstances,
attend any political gathering during the
canvass. The journal SAYS further,
that Mr., Clay has "rigidly adhered 20 his
determination" Astonishing imPudence,
The editor Of that paper must be either
politically and morally dishonest, or
stupid beyond degree, 10 so far presume
upon the crcaulity Of his readers as TO
publish for their perusal, such palpable,
barcfIced absurdiiies. Has he forgotten
the public manner of Mr.. Clay's recep-
ton at New Orleans, on Gods Holy

fcation 10 the great Wing party, that the
crowd in their eagerness 10 do honor 10
their ianus-faced chief on that occasion,
tramped to death a fellow being? VIII
the Journal answer? Again, it is e.
gully notorious, that Mr.. Clay's recep-

pomp and parade that usually character

HENRY CLAY.

Thomas Jefferson said of Henry Clay
that he was merely a splendid orator;
that he was not entitled TO the appclla-
ton of a great statesman. for lie was in
fact entirely destitute of any fixed po-
~litical principles. And we may infer
from the subioined sentiments of Mr..
Clay, that the sage of Monticello was
not Ear wrong; at least, so far as settled
and fixed political principles are con-
cerned. Here is Mr.. Clay's language:
81 am for a National Bank-all ma
lions set us the example'-Henry Clay.
Again-contra:
ITO renew the charter of the U. S.
Bank, would be to sanction ERROR and
perpeiuafe usERPATIox. For such a vast
portion of the circulating medium of the

had appointed a committee for MIR. Clay.
If he is suffered TO 60 on declaring him
self in favor and opposed TO a U. S.
Bank-in favor and opposed TO the pres
ent tariff, sc. &c., he will upset the

y Tie last Missouri Journal in
commenting upon an article which aP-
peared in III paper of the 3lst ult.,
taken from the ST. Clairsville Gazette,
says, "the man who would thus stain his
columns with scU-rility and u%ntruths,
towards Mr.. Clay, Mr.. Polk, or any 9TH
er individual, is many fathoms deeper in
moral shame than the worst enemies of
those gentleman have yer proclaimed
them To be-" wherever fine cap fits"
says Johnny, there lei it be placed
Well--we advise the editor of the Jour-
nal TO stick it right upon his own
gourd. We are always led 10 distrust
the man who claims for himself SO much
purity of motive as does Johnny, and
who is ever ready 20 expose and magni-
fly some real or apparent foible of his
neighbor. As to the article alluded 10,
it will not be denied that it contains many
truths-too many for the wings, in these
piping times.
In conclusion, we deem it proper-to
exculpate ourself from the charge of in
consistency-to state, that the article un-
der notice, appeared in our paper, while
we lay upon a sick bed. The indiscre-
ton of a friend, TO whom we confided
the charge of our paper, admitted the
article without rejecting that we were
yet sailing under the neutral flag.

The Right of Enstruction--Sena-
tor VVeHlbOrn.

.IOOuI NlStT hepuoiiCdi
says it is proposed 10 instruct Senator
Welborr, of Pike county, who was cleo
ted two years ago, TO vote against Col
Benton. The recent vote in that coun-
ty is instruction enough, if Senator w
is 4 Democrat, and consequently holds to
the right of observation-disclosures
BY whom does the Reporter desire
that Senator Welborn shall be instruct
ed-thc Wings? We suppose so; be-
cause if the matter is 10 be left 10 the de-
mocrGcy of the country, more than nine
tenths of them, as is well understood,
ard will hardly be denied by either Penn
or his friend Rat. Boon, are in favor OF
Col. Benton, although less than the re-
naming tenth went over 10 whiggery,
and thereby gave the after the ascenden-
cy, by a small vote, at the late election.
Mr.. Wclborn, when before the people
two years ago. was well understood 10
be the friend of Col. Benton, and, with
that understanding, was elected by the
democracy by a handsome majority
Now, Penn thinks lie ought 10 he in
structcd by the vote of a few Sofls uni
ted TO that of the "Whigs;" all that the
great mass-hcing more than ninetenths
of TIE democracy Of the country,
should have no voice in the matter. So
much Tor PENIS democracy .HiSSou-
rion.
If we understand the position of the
Missourian, it is simply this: That, as
Mr.. Welborn was elected by the locoio-
cos two years ago, he is the representatives
of The Locofocos of Pike county only, and
not The representative Of the whoie psopt Of
that county. That, if a majority ofth@
people o. the county have changed their
views, or if, fiom any cause, they are
now in favor of what they approved in
1912, he is not bound 10 respect or act
in conformity with their wishes, because
that majority is now composed Of Wings
and disconnected Locofocos, Il Mo-. Re
