COON WING HUMBUGS.

In order to prop the cause of Mr..
Clay, his coon-whig supporters are
brting 10 the most disseputable
means to humbug the people. The
"Great Embodiment" himself, during
the last spring, went to the State of
Louisiana TO see, as he says, some of
his relations and friends, and returned
by a smear cut'' through Georgia,
North Carolina, &C.; but we are pur-
suaded from his letters and speeches,
that his purpose was to make the
Southern people believe that he was a
friend to the compromise act. This
was to prepare rhe way for his friends
to take up the subject after him. In
the meantime, his coon whig friends in
the North were telling the advocates
of protection, that he (Mr. CLAY) was
in favor of the Tariff act Of 1872
And yet the supporters Of MFR. CLAY
will continue to hold him up before
the people as a most consistent politl-
clan!
And failing in this ridiculous attempt
to wear taoo faces before the people, u
pom the Tariff question, the coon-whigs
were compelled to manufacture hum
bugs to gull the credulous. They
