From the Globe. MR. CLAY'S SYSTEM OF =ELECTIONEER ING FOR THE PRESIDENCY.

ING FOR THE PRESIDENCY.
 MT. Clay's scheme for the coming cam paign is now pretty fully developed. The demonstrations from his headquarters at Lex lngton, as well as at Washington, leave no doubt that coonery in all its varieties is the game to which federalism is to devote all its faculties. No sooner had Mr. Clay despatch- ed his ash pole to Baltimore, and the two live coons had been forwarded to represent, as proxies, the coon candidates (Clay and Davis) at the grand National Convention in the Monumental city, than. MT. Clay took his leave of Kentucky for his southern election eering tour, and the travelling Bear and a pump-maker were announced in his Lexing- ton and Louisville organs, as commencing their progress through the West, on the same errand, in his behalf. Simultaneously at Lex lngton and Washington, we have two very significant movements; which, in their early manifestation, render 1t certain that there Is much reliance in their efficacy. The Wash lngton contrivance, to operate upon the pub llc mind and influence the suffrages of the people, is displayed in vast sHow-BILL, printed on half sheet, the size of large newspaper. It is adorned with large wood cuts, and printed with types measuring two inches
 On the right of the vast page is cut of Mr. Clay-a pretty good likeness, but as black as the ace of spades. In the centre, on stump with his mouth open, and a bugle in one paw, to denote the voice of the ora tor, and the other outstretched, to express his gesture, is displayed raccoon rampant at once to personify MT. Clay, and dis play his presidential coat of arms. On the left of the sheet we have a farmhouse, written un- der 1t 1.-THE sLAsHEs OF HANovER;o and not far off, we have 'sa dead cock in he pit,'' with fox hard-by-giving the observer to understand that the cock had been reared in the slashes, and had been throtted and kill ed by the fox. An alarming omen, this, of the sad fate awaiting certain old rooster hatched Ill that quarter. This medley of fig ures adorns the great show-b bill-the import of which is thus given, in types as wide as the hand
 THE NATIONAL CLAY MINSTREL AND
 TRUE WHIGS POCKET COMPANION,
 FOR SALE HERE.
 Mir. Clay's friends are busily at work in Congress, sending out this Clay minstrel, which is filled with songs, of which the fol lowing lines, at the head of the showbill, are furnished as sample
 '.A race, Grace and who aoil luin
 Who aciu be out, acho ,oiN De in?
 1fot out your nGgS, aceU see Who'u take
 From GU the Presidential stake.'
 Mir. Clay's partisans in congress frank these ministrels, by hundreds at a time, to particular electioneerers-who, we suppose, as the show-bill goes with them, are allow aIf f>n nIr, fhny,, C., triae, as the interest of the party may require; the small profit gained by this partially grat- uitous distribution being sort of bonus to the manager of the minstrels for the trouble he may take in getting up the singing cpl demic.
 The song-books being thus scattered over the Union, under the frank of the federalists, at the expense of the government, Mr. Clay's organ at Lexington (the Observer and Re porter) has an instruction for their use in that city, which will not be lost on the Clay clubs in every quarter of the Union. It runs thus
