THE VOICE OF AN OPpONEINI.

Concerning Henry Clay, we copy the fol-
lowing remark of the editor of the Stockbridre
Vlsiter, an outand out Polk and Dallas pa
per:
"Every party has the misfortune TO have
attached TO II certain class of politicians,
who, at the commencement of campaign,
con over the vocabulary of abuse-carefulIy
select every vile epithet, that they may ap-
ply them to the opposing candidates. None
are more lavish of abuse than those who are
0poStdteS TO the very party upon whose NOM
inees the filth is thrown. Our party is bles-
sed with no small number of this kind of pol
iticians.
Snow that the presidential campaign is
commenced one can scarcely go amiss Of the
exhibition of this class of politicians. We
see, in one place, paraded some naughty
things said Of Henry Clay in the heat of pas
sion. In another place, he is styled ga dem
agogue = in another STILL "a rake and de6au-
Chez One cries out gambler and horse
racer'-a second, rascaP-a third, Sab
bath breaker,-a fourth, 'profane swearer,-
a fifth, slave holder'-a sixth, 'dueIIist,' and
until the whole vocabulary is exhausted, and
these epthets, in five cases out of seven, are
applied by persons gully of the acts of Which B
they accuse others; and who have heretofore
been most lavish of praise of the men whom
they now imagine they most numerically
abuse.
n
"Henry Clay is gallant fellow. He is
whole-hearted man. man
who never betrayed friend, or finch for foe.
He is wing every inch OF him. He is just
such an opponent as we like. We always
know exactly where to find him. About him
here is no lodging. He is wing TO the
He is one of those men who will
lever consent to fight under false coors.-
)ne of those men whom if we defeat, there is
ome honor in defeating him, and if our can
lidate is defeated, he is defeated by an honor

A PREDICTION Butler, in his speech
to the Loco Foco Convention, made the fol-
lowing prediction:
"Mr. Butler predicted if the rule should be
carried, the dismemberment and final break
ing up of the party. If people persisted in 60
ing for men and not measures, black flag
would be hung over them, the pail of death
would shrouI their hopes, and funeral dirge
might be sungp

Eruption Of Mount Etna.

BY the Neapolltan steamer Francisco
|, We have an account of the breaking
forth of Mount Etna. The mountain
had been for some days heavily capped
with dense clouds; some rumb!ings were
heard at times, resembling distant thun-
der, and many persons, especially on the
west side near Bronte, imagined they
felt at intervals, slight shocks Of an
earthquake, or tremblings of the earth.
On Saturday about midnight, several
violent explosions were heard, and fire
was soon seen to ascend from the mouth
of the old crater. The streams Of lava
gradually increased in extent, and took
course toward the town Of Bronte.-
Luckily few hillocks to its left served
TO turnthe direction, which then flowed
on towards the road of Palermo. On
Monday this stream Of liquid fire had
attained the destructive breadth ofnear
ly two miles; it still flowed on, destroy
ing every thing in its path. The road
to Palermo is closed up, filled with bur-
ming lava. The sight IS awful, grand,
beautiful-yet terrific beyond descrip-
ton. It bids fair to be. the most mag
nifcent eruption Of the last century,
Pray heaven il may not be more des-
tructive. As yetits damages are conf
ned TO a few houses and Vineyards
