"a number Of friends who waited upon Mr.. Clay q
few days sihce TO hidke known the result Of the slsc.
On were aSlOnished that be received the news with
cheOulnsas almost amounting to pleasure. MY friends,
said he, iii would be ridiculous in me 10 say do net
feel feels chiefly for you and for
eur country; a. regards mysslf ] am relieved from
load Of anxiety. have been ready and wIing 10
servo my county, even with my life. au0iOsd my
name to used in the iais contest because
oaSy caed for, for he sake Of The Union; and Fam
eonsOd 6 The fact that have 6ech supported By siR
teLigenee and patriotism Of tie nation Now, hUpe to
speud the remainder Of my days in peace and quiet
From lhs it appears that Clay not only disappOin
ed but that since the election he thinks the maj Jnty
of the people of the United States very ignorant and
unpGhiOhc. Oh cracksyi But he has the consolation
that ''ALL" the "mtcLHg gent" and 'patr1Ohc'' voted
fof him. Oh erackey, again. Now what au insult does
this broken down repudiatsd gambler give 10 the ee-
men Of our country. Because you would not vote for
advocate Of k.ngy government you not ineIli.
gent Becaure you could not support a swndIi"g bank
and pundering tariff and because you would not give
millions Of acres Of American lands in Texas and Ore>
gou to the British you are charged with want fpGti.
Otsm. Because your cOnscisnces would not let you
vote for the gapbler Backleg, and dues, you all
numb SOULS. Because you rose in The majesty of your
might and hooed down the corrupt panderer Of British
money mongsrS you are all called Jackasses Verify, the
maE who ults such such sentiments doubIy deserves
the overwhelming rebuke he has SO lately received At
the hands Of the American people,
But how stand The facts in the relation to the charge
of ignorance slung the Democracy by tits aded and
worn out sderalsg Let ID turn the census and see.

states which wen, for Polk contain population Of TO-
3ls. In these is states there are S22 0OO person,
over 20 years Of age who cannot read write, one
10 every 3i5 In the ii states that went for Clay the
population s 625l 795 In these II states the number
years persons over 90 age who cannot read or rite
amount to 222 444l-Or one for every 2e0. Nearly
mauy as are to be found in the is Polk States
! By this we where the intelligence is. The Clay
states have out Of every .2sO who cannot read
write and the Polk States only one for every Sl5. But
again the Is Polk states elected l7O Presidential Eeo-
tors. Taking the whele number who cannot read or
write and We 9d that 6ere are only 1896 for every cleo
tor In the II Clay states there are 2IlSfo every sec,ot
So the most common mind can sSe what filss charge
is made against the Democracy. In the great Stale Of
Kentucky alone there IRE over 40 900 white males a.
bove 90 years who cannot read or ws and we recosct
