Personal Abuse.
W. P. THoaAssoN.
May 2lsr, 1914.

This seems TO be lavoriie weapon in the
warfare ol our political opponents. Despairing
Of success in any attack upon The talents and
integrity of the grea; Whg leader, they resort
TO the most unmanly and despicable assaults
upon his private character In most cases
Gasehoud Is made TO supply lhe lack of original
materials, and IN all of lhem, little truth is
exaggerated and distorted TO such degree that
none can recognise it, Indeed The amount OF
the impression attempted TO be conveyed by
some OF the loco presses is briefly stated, that
Henry Clay has violated every commandment,
in the Decalogue, and like the unjust Judge of
whom The good book speaks, fears neither Gsd
nor man. Now it is for the sake Of public
morals and the reputation Of our country abroad
that We may regret these statements. As for
our parry interests and Henry Cay's success,
they are only promoted, as every calm obser.
yer must see, by his coarse. Can these gen.
ileInea expect the people 10 believe that man
can have been for ten years Speaker of The
House OF Representatives, Secretary of Stale
under as pure an Administration as the country
ever had, u. s. Senator, Commissioner to the
treaty ol Ghent, and vel, for all this leaglh oi
time, have been an abandoned prohsale No
no, ihe abs arb statement carries its Teiutaton
on lis iace. Let these traducers of exalted
merit go on. They will find that guns OF this
sort reeoll in The discharge and injure only the
camp which employs lhem. The lamenled
Harrison had his full share of these malignant
persanal ISLANDERS lei The electoral tole OF 64C
testify as 10 their effect.

The Spirit of PennsyIvania.

The genuine Wing spirit is aroused in Penn
sylrania, and beiokens complete roul of loco
focoism al the approaching elections. Since
the nominations OF CLAY and FRELINGHuYsEN,
NEE lings have been held ia many of The coun-
lies; all of which were largely attended and
characterised by The NEST enthusiastic spirit.
Every section of the party is salisfed-al per-
sona preferences are cast aside, and we are
united. as one man, upon The distinguished can
dldales, who represent the great and important
principles, for The establishment of which We
have 80 long commended. And not only is our
party, (lhe great Harrison party of lS40) united
upon Mf. Clay, but thousands of our former op-
ponens have also declared themselves ia bis
favor. The people recognize in him the cham
plon Of The cause of America, and American
Industry and Prosperity, and they will support
him, because he is The friend OF the Tariff, oi
Protection, and of their best interests.

From The National Intelligencer.

To the Editors Col. Linn Boyd having re-
Gently resuscated the stale SANDER of bargain
and corruption between Mcssrs. Clay and Ad-
ans, II was esteemed duty to inquire whether
he believed it, His answer TO the inquiry is
before the country. The public may have some
curiosity 10 know what was Mr. Boyd's opinion
upon this question when Mr.. Clay wa. not a
candidate. The HopkinsvilIe, KY, Gazette,
of the ! lh instant, which is sent 10 you in re-
viewing Mr.. Boyd's course, has the following
sentence, viz -
1--WE assert most positively, that We can
prove bv one of the mos, respectable citizens Of
HopkinsvilIe, that Linn Boyd declared 10 him
that the charges preferred against Mr.. Clay
were utterly false and sroundIess, and were got
ten up for mere political purposes. Aud we
defy Linn Boyd 10 deny this facr"
This Gazette was shown to Mr. Boyd, and
his attention called 10 he above paragraph, that
he might deny it as publicly as he had re>usci-
aied the charge. He not having thought prop
er TO do so. the favor is asked to inssr, this in
your paper, by yours, with respect.
