A HAPPY OMEN.-During the speech of GEN
Combs, at New Haven, on the 18th, most pleas
ing incident occurred, which is thus alluded to in
the report Of the New Haven Courier:
If we fail to elect Clay now [continued Gen,
c. the experiment of Free Government is
failure. If man like James K Polk can be
elected over man like Henry Clay, there is no
use of talking hereafter of rewarding public serv-
ices. Look at the pedestals upon which all the
Presidents rose to power. George Washington,
Thomas Jefferson, all of them down to Van Bu-
rem, whom the Democrats lately called from Lin
denwald to New York to be pa-bearer at his
own funeral. Tyler we will not mention But
on, where will Folks pedestal be found! | tell
you that the Democrats who may vote for him
now will be ashamed to acknowledge it to their
posterity, and they'll deny that they were at
home or voted at all, rather than confess to their
indignant offspring that they voted for James K.
Polk. Now look at the pedestal of Henry Clay,
rising higher and higher for the last forty years.
Ay, see him like an eagle, with untiring pinon,
soaring against the sun. (Here the audience
were startled by the cry of "An Eagle, an Ea-
gle.'0 Every eye was raised toward the Hea-
vens, and there, with outspread WINGS the proud
bird OF our country seemed to pause as if delight
ed with the scene beneath him. General Combs
looked up and exclaimed" Oh, proud bird of
my country's banner, accept the omen. Long,
long may you sore in majesty above those BAN
ners waving over the land of the free and the
home of the brave'' Gentlemen, have said
that these things did not come accidentally. That
bird did not come by accident to take the SEN
tence from my mouth. | hail it as happy omen.
The effect Of this occurrence, as may we'll be
supposed, was electrical, and the air resounded
with the sudden and simultaneous shouts of the
multitude.

FACT Us. THEoRY.-In 184l the duty levied
upon cotton goods, under the then existing rere.
nue. law, was nominaly 20 per cert. The tariff
act of 1912, as is alleged by the free trade" Lo-
coiocos increased the revenue duty to highly
protectire duty of 100 per cent.
In January. 1S41, a piece of IA shifting, of so
yards In quantity, cost, on an average, 1912
In January, 1874 under the "Black Wing
Tariff the like goods in quantity and quality
sold for $40; difference in favor Of the consul
mer, under the Black Tariff" or " 100 per cent.
oppression" II cents, or 30 per cent.
fhese are facts, as exhibited by actual sales
made by regular dealers in the articles, in the or
binary course of business. When the free
traders get over such facts as these, it will be
quite time enough for us to notice their crude
theories and speculations about the cheap rate al
which foreigners could or would furnish us all
such manufactured articles as we need, were we
SO very liberal as to surrender to them, at their
very disinterested request, all control of Ameri
can affairs or right to protect home industry and
capital. When the European nations, who are
rotng in the accumulated wealth of ages, show
an example to the United States of even an aap.
Proclamation to "free trade" then it will be time
enough for this young country to think of giving
up all thought of taking caro- of its chief capital

HENRY CLAY HUNG AND BURNT IN EFFIGY.-In
the course of the day on the Sd instant, the self
styled Democrats Of Hampton Village, erected an
image in a hanging posture near the centre of the
village, and but few feet from the place where
in l94O they suspended petticoat, in vain at
tempt to cast reproach upon the fair fame of our
lamented Harrison. To this image, got up in
true Locofoco taste, they attached variety of
: Fictitious emblems,' and labeled it Henry Clay
and it is said that during the day they relieved
themselves from vast amount of vulgarity and
spite.
Just at dark, as the delegations were returning

candidate put in opposition to Mr.. Clay.

The aspertes OF diiierentciiques may be moderated

we do fully believe that Mr.. Clay will walk over
the field without any difficulty, and will be the

train OF measures at his heels-United States Bank
assumption of State debts-high tariff-disribu-
uon-and every thing else. And ifthe folly OF the
leading men at Washington, and the advisers of the
democratic party, lead to such result, we don't
care if it be so.
