In the Waterman of February 18th, some no.
tice is given of the movements of the Clay Clubs.
Whether these Clubs have been formed after the
model of the Jacobin clubs in Paris, or have been
called into existence by the grand hailing sign of
the Grand Master Harry of the West, | know
not One thing seems pretty clear, that the milk
Of human kindness has little place amongst them,
if we may Judge from their mouth piece This
champion informs us that the Liberty party are
constituted of wings who have Joined few loco
focos Gin sleeps clothing" and certain dsappoin-
ted wings who now owe the wing party especial
spite. These simpletons have been enticed into
the third party by the promise, that their wing
principles and the great interests of the country
should not be sacrificed; but that the new party
would adopt the wing creed as its platform. But
since the Buffalo Contention these men see that
they have been shametuIly betrayed By talsehOod.
They are not ready for pe'jmy and treason. Can
they not be won back? All that is the question.
Clay Clubs must see what they can do-the end
sancties the means. But where is the difficulty
You say these men have been deceived, but nowf
SEE, that they have been sbamefully betrayed byV
Randolph have been so fooled, and yet cling to
the Liberty party, should just as lief they would
leave us as not; but if they have got their eyes
open, hope they will not jump out of the pan
into the fire They may find evolves in sleeps
clothing" in the Clay Clubs as we'll as among the
Iocofocos. When the net is set in the sight Of
BIRDS and they run into it, they will deserve to be-
called gulis Perhaps the disappointed wings
and locofocos in sleeps clothing, who love liberty
more than party leaders, may be won back to their
old traces by such kind treatment. We shall see;
but if such abuse do not rouse them to action, it
Is OF little consequence under what standard they
place themselves. The liberty party rejoice when
honest men get their eyes opened, leave their old
party leaders, and join in supporting the great self
evident principles of our Bill of Rights; but they
6 entlce no man by promises. "Whg principesn'
What are they? know something about wing
measures-I also know that Mr. Clay is said to be
the embodiment Of whiggery, though he has his
pistol IN one hand and his whip and chains in the
other, but have yet to learn what the principles
of the Clay wings are, if five oaves and two fish
es DO not tell the truth
= Nv DNH'N C'h' CHllOI, dil august assembly OF
: patriots such the Clay wings will never form
- Those men guilty Of perjury and treason? 1t is
easier to SANDER the good than to initiate their ex-
ample Well, as it is wing doctrine that of two
evils, even if they are moral evils we must choose
= the least, and as our yceums want questions TO
debate, propose the following question for dis
;, cusson: Which is the greater sinner the man
who Is charged unjnsy with being guilty of per-
jury and treason, or the man who is malistealo-,
lives by robbery, has repeuIeuIy attempted to take
his neighbours life in dueIs, and has bound his soul
by all the abominable oaths of freemaSonry to aid
rs his masonic brother, whatever may have been his
= crime? When this question has been fairly set
tied, the Clay wings will be able to apply the
W Golden Rule, aud Of the two sinners choose the
H. least. AN OLD MAN.
