 CHARACTER OF MIR. CLAY BY A WHlG.
 Mir. George F. Badgers opinion of Henry Clay:
 ''NIr. Clay, of Kentucky, was one of the four candidates for President; but having the lowest number of electoral votes, was exclu- ded from the House The Stale from which he came had instructed her members, ill the event which had then happened, to support Gen. Jackson; but, under the influence of Mir Clay, man of intrigue, and of eloquenee, of of unbouAded ambition, and of talents above mediocrity, these members, with those of other western States, voted fer Mr. Adams, and his election was the result. lmmedi- alely after his elevation, Mir. Adams appoint ed Mir. Clay Secretary of State, in power and influence the second station of our govern ment, and generally thought to bean intro duction to the first.
 s'Between these two gentlemen there had been previously neither conhdenceno aiicc- ton; and Mr. Clay had publicly expressed, ill language not to be misunderstood, dis belief of Mr. Adams political integrity and patriotism. How, then, are you to account for Mr. Clay's support of Mir. Adams, in op- position to the declared wishes of Kentucky? Mr. Clay. indeed, and his friends, have en- deayored to put his choice on the ground oi love of conntry-on his belief of Gen. Jack sons entire un6ncss for the office. But though Mr. Clay had dsapproved in Con gross of Gen. Jackson's conduct in the Semi nole war, yet, i'll the very speech in which his disapprobation was expressed, he deelar- ed that General Jackson had shed much glory on our country, and that towards him he never had and never could have, any other feelings than those of the most profound re- .epect and the utmost kindness. Why, then did he desert the man who was the faYorite of the nation--the choice, next to himself of Kentucky-the man for whom he cher ished the utmost kindness,' and most pro. found respect,' in order to give his suppor to one for whom lie neither felt respect nel kindness, of whose patriotism he entertained (to say the leasD strong suspicious, ant against whom the voice of the nation, ant especially of the State from which MT. Clay came, had been distinctly expressed2
 'sl'ake the facts, and answer for yourselves whether it be harsh or uncharitable to con elude that he voted for Mr. Adams Ill expec- tation of being Secretary of State, and that this expectation decided his vote. Let the friends of Mir. Clay protest against the cot ] cluson with whatever of earnestness they can press into the service, and the common sense of mankind will still find in his con duct the ground of serious suspicion. They may contend that there is not proof to con yict him in court of justice, and subjec him to an ignomnious punishment. If Uni were allowed, 1t will avail them nothing, fo the inquiry is not about inActing punishmen on Messrs. Adams and Clay; 1t is about tn propriety of continuing them in public sta tons of power and influence; and, with du submission, the differenceis is vastly important We pity the miserable wretch draggedto ihf

SOWING CLOVER sEED-CURING HAY

WITH SALT.
 AEssRs. EpIroRs: On reading Mr. k. L.. Pell's letter in the Cultivator for March, (paee 97,4 take up my pen to show that some of his opinions are wrong, and some of his prac- uces are actually cfHtl. First, he says, "when preparing meadows or upland, usually seed ou wheat, sowing in the full half bushe of Timothy seed 10 the acre, which is lined at the rate of lhrec hundred bushels, and the following spring, alifr a moderate lall oi SHOW, SOW one bnsllel of clover seed,n Sc. Now. If Nir. ?. means one bushcl of clover seed to the acre, (and the letter reads so.4 this is a- together wrong; as half bushe of Timothy seed, and pounds of clover seed, would be sufficient for any land l ever saw iii tIs country. After telling the time he cuts his grass, he says, s.the grass thus eut is drawn immediately into the barn, and one bpsbeI of fine salt spread ny hand over each alternate layer composing a fon.n Now maintain that the quantity Of salt he puts on actually PHHtsheS tic poor animals that have to eat the hay, in cruel manner. Yet eat it they must, if they have nothing elsc, or staf8e- Some II years aeo, l read in some paper this mode of curing hay, and tried the ex. pertinent by commencing to feed 6l2 sheer with hay so cured. Ii look me all of al hour and a half, each day, to pump water fo them, and then, after drinking till they wer, like to burst, they would, in cold days, stan, and shiver for hours; and | believe, if l ha' not changed their feed 10 something else hal of the time, that so much salt would hay killed a number of them.
 make no doubt that Mir. PelI is hones in his intentions. altogetherunacquain cd with the gentleman but think he mus be one of those farmers that tell men to d. So and SO, but who neither helps dc 1t, no secs that it is done, else he would see th impropriety of sowing bushcl of clover see, 10 the acre, and salnng his hay 10 uamefei fully.

 bar, for whom the scaffold or the whipping post IS in waiting; and the humanity of the law eoineides with our own compassion in pronouncing that doubt shall be followed by acquittal; but to him who claims our conf- dence, probable suspicion IS just ground of relusal; and many are the men dismissed by an acquittal from court of justice, who, up- on grounds which the law cannot notice, stand condemned before the tribunal of pub lie opinion. Aaron Burr was acquitted and rightly acquitted, too--for want of evi- dcncei but think you he IS q fiji object to ai- tract confdence?--is he entitled to support9
 Thus, then, as We conceive, it sufficiently 1 appears that Jackson, the man of the people, was, at the last election, defeated, not upon any considerations ol comparative merit be- tween Mr. Adams and himself. but in order that Mir. Clay might be Secretary of State, and heir apparent To the Presidency. And can 1t be seriously coutended that you ought, or that you properly can give your sanction to this apostacy from prlnciple--your sup port to thls ambitious proleet' Because Mr Clay once forgot his duty, and imposed upon the nation President whom the nation did not desire, ought you to forget yonr interests dId NVul liSiitH9 oiiCi d iS3diu tO utdAhti}s and thus sci an example fatal to the fair and equal operation ef our constitution. ."--.ad- dress 10 he people of .North Coroibta ia 1895, terfftea bg .Hr.
