EAGERNEss FOR OFFICE.

Every day or two brings to light some new effort
of Mr. Clay to obtain the Presidential chair Like an
eager general stationed in some prominent place, Mr.
Clay in his retirement at Ashland, takes rest on
the contrary his seepless eye is continually sweep
ing the entire field Of contention and ever and anon
his orders despatched TO particular points, where
danger threatens the most, where an assault to
be made on his opponents.
Il would be difficult to enumerate the letters writ
ten by Mr.. Clay since he had himself proclaimed the
Wing candidate for the Presidency, for the fifth or
sixth time. He has written day and night He has
consumed reams Of paper and oceans Of ink, "wlth
view TO the Presidency" He has abored more as
sduously for himself than it was possible for any
body else to labor for him. His opinions import
ant subjects are expressed simultaneously in differ
ent and distant parts of the Union; and what is
they are expressed fereptly to suit different loca
tons Such is his desperation, and his want of deli
cacy.
But Mr.. Clay's incessant exertions in beh alf oil
himself, are destined to accomplish nothing. He be-
gins to see that he is entangled inextricably
in his own webs-tbe traps he set for others.
letter recently written by him TO his knsman, c. NJ
Clay, berays his anguished condition. He says af-
ter all their well concerted efforts he is doomed TO
be misunderstood and msrepres ened-that, " in the
South, am represented as an Abolitionlst, and in
the North as an ultra advocate of slavery, while in
fact am neither" This is the work of Prov idence
After all the attempts Of the Federal Wings to make
favorable impression the Abolition party by the
abolition speeches of Mr.. c. M. Clay, and on the
South by various disrepuable expediens the result
Is that MIR Clay is rejected in the South an .4bo
hiionia," and in the North advocate of ultra
slavery" The pit he prepared for others he has fall
len into himself!
What a contrast is afforded by the dignifed course
of Colonel Polk As The chosen standard-bearer OF
his party, he awaits patiently, and will abide man.
SILLY, the issue between Republican and Federal
principles. He does not indulge single selfish feel
ing. He does not so much desire the elevation OF
himself a. the triumph Of his principles and his par
v. We do not see him expressing set Of opin
ions in Alabama and another in Pennsy lyania. His
letters not borne 10 all parts Of The Union by
ry mai, He does NOT rely upon his individual trtrfon
for sueesss but upon the justice Of hi, cause, and The in
iegriiy and resolution Of hi, party.
Such is the difference between Col Polk and Mr.

ring the prosecutions of the suffrage party, has
been overtaken with speedy justice, from the fol-
lowing paragraph:
"ARREsT OF A GOVERNOR. oR.--The Bay State
Democrat states that Ex-Governor King, Of
Rhode Island, was arrested last week on charge
of embezzling $4,000 of the funds of the Rhode

Here is the Rhode Island piratical King Gov
ernor, who could not bear the idea of people re-
forming the abomnable character of King Charles
under the charge of genteeI robbery! While
this man was prosecuting the republicans Of
Rhode Island for their love of freedom and just
government with one arm, he was running the
other into the bank vaults. Such desperadoes
as these and their principles are worthy Of being
eulogsed at the Clay Club House of this city
amid the shouts of men who, it would be mercy
to say, were ignorant of what they were doing.
We can forgive them only on the grounds of TO-
tai ignorance of the part they were performing

GooDs UP--wnEAT DowN.-The Cleveland

''Whoever examines our report ofmarkets from
week to week, finds the price of wheat and flour
going down, down, down; and whoever comes
to Cleveland to buy cotton and woolen goods,
finds them going up, up, up Both are the fruits
of high tariff, How do you like it, farmers?
The Elyra Republican says:
"The tendency of the wheat market appears
to be downward. Two weeks since it brought
80 cents. Now it brings only 70 or IS. BY
many it is predicted that it will go much lower"
The same paper says:
"Neary every kind of cottons has advanced
from 25 to so per cent. A merchant told us
last week that he dared not bring on his usual
varety-prices were so high WoolleDs have
advanced 30 per cent. Sugar has advanced near
Iy 40 per cent Almost every other article has
advanced largely"

Itappears by Prentice's life of Clay, that Mr..
Clay was sworn in as senator of the United
States before he had attained to the age requi-
red by the constitution. This biography was
written by Prentice whilst an inmate of Mr..
Clay's house; and therefore it is TO be presumed
that the facts it states have the sanction of Mr..
Clay himself The same fact appears also in all
the biographies we have examined; so that there
is no doubt of its truth, and none whatever of Mr..
Clay's knowledge of it.
When it is considered that this act involves
Mr.. Clay not only in the guilt of wilfully viola
ting the constitution of the United States, but
also in the guilt ofdeliberate perjury, his subse-
quent career, though marked with treachery to
the democratic party, and corrupt bargain to
procure Office from personal and political op-
Iponent, ought not TO aslonish u.s. This isolated

Playing cards for money m0 GambIing

Playing Cards for Money nO Gambling!
The Tribune does not like personal attacks on
candidates for office, and admits "that MIR. Clay
has sometimes taken hand at Whist with his
friends, even when some trfing stake has been
made" ''We are willing" says the Tribune,
"that they should caIlt playing for money and
revile him as a gambler"
This is quite liberal in our neighbor. The in
ference is, that though he does not think that
playing cards for money is exactly gambling, yet
he will not quarrel with the Democrats if they
should happen TO think differently. 1t is 'not
at all to our tase," says the Tribune, to make
personal attacks on candidates for office" No,
we suppose not, it is perfectly immateriaI with
our very moral neighbor, whether the candidate
for the high Office of President possesses any OF
the moral qualifications that distinguish the truly
great man. or whether he be gambler, duel
list, and profane sWearer. These wees, we
suppose, in the opinion of our nelghbor, are not
included in the catalogue of ''moral and tlagrant
delinquences." A game at cards at which some
few hundreds, or even a few thousands Of dollars
are at stake, is merely playing for "some trilIng
sum-" and cannot be considered gambling, or in
the least detract from mans reputation as 9
moral man, or in the least disqualify him for the
office of the Presidency.
Now we ask every honest man of either party
what they think of the morality of man who
subscribes TO such logic, or what they think o.
our neighbor's definition of gambling, morality
&c,
The Tribune, with much more candor thar
some of its contemporaries, admits that Mr.. Cla.
does play at cards, and play for money. The
only question then to be decided, or upon whicl
there is any dispute, is, whether such an act car
be called gambling; and if So, whether it is al
objection TO man on the score Of moral charac
ter to be gambler. We leave the matter in the
hands of the moral portion of the American peo
pie, fully believing that they will come to righ
decision. For ourseif, we think that playing
Brag orr Whist for money, is gambling, and tha
gambler is unfit to be elected to the Presidency
