mics of the Republic IN case an emergen-
cy should arise, requiring the appointment
OF Lieut., nanl General, he liked his eye
finally upon him. In all TIE range OF his
tory we doubt whether one great man ever
paid so high compliment TO atolnei'
when il is remembered that Mr.. Clay
educalion was not military, aud that he
had no experience in the field. The pre-
ference arose, solely, from Mr.. Madisons
having discovered in him those latent quail
tiles, BY which Nature distinguishes the
man "born to command" from the mere
martinez those qualities which enabled an
obscure Merchants Clerk 10 be selected,
in time OF great danger, and when milf
taIy men were at hand in plenty, for the
important task of preserving the British
possessions in India
But why multiply example 1t was
never doubted that Mr.. Clay was not only
Democrat, but the leader OF The party,
until the ascendancy Of Gen. Jackson
During the admin STATION of that individu-
al, he was employed continually in that
species Of labor, which Mr.. Van Buren, has
described US the peculiar business OF the
Democrat. This whole period of his life
was one continued series Of acts of resis-
lance to executive usurpations. II Fede-
ralism has a tendency to knit the powers
Of the Government together, and TO con-
centrate them in the Federal Head, then
does this portion Of Mr.. Clay's history,
more even than his support Of the admins
trations of Messrs. Jefferson and Madison,
prove him to be any lbiag else rather than
a Federalisl.

is no, disputed; for he proved that when
he was Representative from the County
of Lincoln in the House of Commons.-
But he must possess other aud higher
qualifications than these for the office, be-
fore he can be elected Governor OF North
