ave deny that Mr.. Clay, OF the wings of GeoI-
yia, whose candidate he is, seek for the esiab-
Ishment Of a protective tariff, but advocate the
principles of the compromise act"
His friends support him at the South for bis
fTee-rade principles-at the North because he is
in favor of a protective tariff. His declarations
Of principle are regulated by the market in which
they are 10 be used. His object is to secure
votes. His pricinples, like his constituiionalscfu
pies, depend upon the peculiar circumstances of
the case. All things to all men, is his motto.
Everything for understanding for principle,
HIS LOVE FOR THE WEST.
On the 26lh of January, 1888, in his speech
on the presumption bill, he said;
"The determination TO push this bill through
by the majority, was evinced by the manner in
which its provisions were ~eulogized as equitable
10 all, and especially calculated TO give homes 10
the poor man; but with regard to some insinua-
tons which had been thrown out of a 'grasping
spirit,' he begged leave 10 repeal the charge, and
would throw il back TO where ii belonged, vizi on
the new States"
This is his opinion of the people of the ''new
Stales," to whom his friends have appealed 10
come up to his support as their especial friend.
HIS OPINION OF THE PRE-EMPTIoNERS
FURTHER DEVELOPED,
In the same speech, he said:
"Fhe fact was, that the presumption system
purified and corrupted all ii touched. Mr.. Clay
alluded to the Miami reserve. Lands worth from
$40 to $40 per acre had been intruded upon by
InJIacS poop in u;Ol,tiOn IF tba riuhtS ,f tho nav
eminent; and yet these poor honest settlers
were TO have the rights of presumption. What
right had these men 10 The public lands? By
what right did they seize upon aud rob the Uni
ted States of their possessions? As we'll might
they seize upon the dollars in the public treasury
on the forts, a%rsenals, and public ships, as ON the
public lands"
Now these "rohbcrs" and ''plunderers" are ur-
gcd TO support the man who slandercd them, on
account of his peculiar friendship for them. He
appeals TO these noble, generous, enterprsing
'robbefs' and "plunderers" to help him, 10 save
him; to give him their sufrages; 10 save him from
the storm Of popular indignation which is heard
on every hand. Sir, can they fail to respond TO
This loving appeal from the hero of Ashland?
Can they prove so ungratelul? The gentleman
from Illinois mr.. HARDIN will explain it all TO
The entire satisfaction Of the hardy pioneer of the
West.
NvTIvE AMERICAN PARTY--ITs ORIGIN.
In reply TO Mr.. Buchanan, on the same bill, Mr..
Clay said:
"Does he mean TO compare the De Kalbs, the
Steubens, the Lafayettes, the PuIaskis, with the
hordes of foreign paupeIs that are constantly
flooding our shores? y Il y lie thought
| ~. IL -. - Il - =. "a
policy towards foreigners as was proper or des;-
rable."
And again:
ale thanked the senator from Maryland for
introducing a proposition for comforting The boun-
ty of the government Oh our own race, instead OF
holding out a general invitation to all the paupers
Of all the European governments to come here
and compete with our W honest poor"
Is his the sentiment Of create q liberal-minded
statesman?-or Is it tho outpouring of deep-sea-
ted malignity upon the whole body Of emigrants
who fly from the hand Of tyranny and oppression
abandoning all the endearments ofkindred and
country--coming hither TO enjoy that liberty which
exists here, and here only-because, when they
arrive here, most of them oppose him and his pal.
,!ly? Is this the cause of his bitter hate of for.
%eigners? Sir, / expect TO hear him appeal to the
good, the honest, the noble, the patriotic foreign.
ers, to support him, because he is their friend
They will remember tho injury-the bitter scoru
the insult--the opprobrlous epithets-he has
~unjustly heaped upon them; they will r~ecollecl
it as the vile spirit which originated "the alien
and sedition law" they will spurn him, as he
would have spnrned them from our shores. E.
Trims sons will remember his abuse ofthe Liberia.
