In the approaching Presidential contest'

and if, as every thing now indicates is TO
be the case. that contest shall be between
Mr. Van Buren, and Mr.. Clay, have as
little hesitat ion in saving that there is bu,
ole line of oclion by which we can acquit
ourselves Of the full measure of cur duly To-
the country aud that is, waving all minor
considerations, 10 tgive a manlys ancl de-
termned support ITO Mr. Clays in prefers
ence TO Mr.. Van Buren,. For myself. |
can conceive of no greater calamity to the
nation, or deeper discredit to the cause and
very name of popular government, than the
reelection of Mr.. Van Buren, would be,
after the signal and overwhelming major-
ity 'by which he was so recently deposed
from power, upon the fullest canvass Of lis
measures, policy and conduct.

Could any thing ibhict deeper wound
on the cause of republican institutions than
such spectacle of levily and instability on
the part of he constituent body as would bn
exhibited in the restoration Of Mr.. Van
Buren,, after the overwhelming and'condem'
nation of his administration pronounced bv
the almost unanimous electoral voice ofihe
country but three short years ago7 Would
il not render popular government itself
"byword and taunl' among the nations ?
In 1910 the American people, upon the
fullest and most deliberate hearing of both
sides Of the political coniroversy--of the
friends as well as Of the opponents Of Mr..
Van Buren-recorded their votes against
him by such majority as never before sig.
nalized the retreat Of any minister from
power, and wns till then utterly unparalleled
ed and even unapproachsd in the history Of
our Presidential contests. Of the twenty
six States composing the Union he received
the votes of but seven, and all OF these tex
cept oDe) among the smallest of the con-
federacy Of The 294 votes Of he Eiecior-
al Colleges he obtained but 60; and Of The
sufrages, a majority ofl45.0oo, on. of tho
free and enlightened citizens OF America
who voted in the election, gave IN their &C.
cumulaied verdict agains, him.

And by what means is Mr.. Van Buren,

anointed candidate OF the Democratic par.

body of the party. who, we have every reas'
on 10 believe, deprecate and depIore the
madness and folly of the act, but by the Sc

HENRY CLAY NEVEe WAS AND NEVER CAN BE THE CHOICE OF THE
 AMERICAN PEOPLE.

The Federal party arc making desperate effort to get up an enthusiasm in favor of Henry Clay, but it is no go. He has cut ash poles, sprinkIed himself with cologne water, decked himself iii ruffled shirts and French boots, and sworn in the most exquisite style, s.that The people mere dem fine SCI of crea- tures,' but all to no effect. He has written hundreds of contradictory letters, which have proved to him to be much more capable of making good Kings fool, than good pres- ident.
 We say that he never was and never can be the choice of the American people. And to prove it we will hastily review his politi- cal history for the last twenty years.
 1. Because in 1924, when Jackson, Adams and Clay were candidates for the Presidency, Clay received but 37 out of 261 electoral votes.
 ?. Because in 1928, the rotten league be- tween John Quincy Adams and Henry Clay, was beaten by Andrew Jackson 100000.
 3. Because in 1882, when Clay was the regular nominee of the Federal National Con vention, in the Electorial College, he receiv- ed only 49 out of 2S6 electorial votes.
 4. Because in 1886, he again made des- parate effort to be taken up, but his friends were afraid to try him,
 5. Because in 1899, he AGAIN TRIED to force himself upon the Baltimore Convention, and was cast aside in disgust
 6. Because, since the federal party have an- nounced their determination to make Clay their candidate in 1914, THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS or GOOD MEN and true. have left the federal party and rallied round the glorious flag of Democracy

DoN'T FRET.-This is a world of ups and downs, of crosses and contradictions. Eve " day turns up something to disturb the equanimity of one's temper. But it is worse than useless to fret. Fretting is like caustic applied to a soar It inilames, but never cures. A fretful spirit is never happy, and it drives happiness from all other spirits with which it comes in contact. We say, then, if the world goes wrong, and 1t does that pret- ty often, don't fret.-If man cheats you, and then laughs at you for verdant one, make the best of it and keep cool. Fretting will make bad thing worse. If you break your leg, or find your favorite seat at the Ly- ceum occupied, if the stage upsets, or the cars leave you behind, if the cook spells your dinner, or the thick-headed servant misdeliv- CTS an important message, if ''the dear little image of it's beautiful mother" repays your caresses by thrusting it's tiny fingers into his plate and wiping them on your snow-white shirt bosom; if banks fail and States repudi- ate, keep your temper. Repeat the alpha bet, read the hundred and nineteenth psalm, do and say any thing ''lovely and of good report" but as you value quietness of mind and the good temper of others; don't fret It is marvellous how much good nature and patience will do towards curing the ills to which flesh and spirit are Salem O. ep7-7,e,.
