which advocated Ma. CLAI, 4 PRoTDcTIvE TAR !
HF, and NATIONAL BANK, is now out IN support
of POlk, Dallas and Ter0s. and bitterly opposed to
MIR. Clay and the existing Protective Tariff And
what is mores there are probably one half Of the
subscribers to that paper who supported CLAY and
q Tariff when it did, who turned with 1t and are
now going strongly against both-simply because
that paper has changed When it advocated Mr.
Clay there was nothing which could be said in his
favor which was left unsaid. He was :" the wisest
and best of men''-ssa stGtesnann above reproach,
at whose feet the vile ISLANDERS of the Jackson par
ty fell harmless" A prOtectipe tariff too, was then
pronounced indispensable to the welfare Of the ma
ton, without which our people would ssbe reduced
to level with the paupers Of Europe, and g for
a United States Bank, that was declared to be "ab-
solutely necessary for the safe keeping Of the pub
lie money, and the permanent equalization Of ex-
changes" ~, ts, Fs s4- a e;
Notv, Mr.. Clay is abused in terms the most ma
lignant that party malice eap invent. He is pro-
nounced in the same breath to be fodl and a
knave, unfit to associate with any but the lowest
and vilest Of men, and those who now advocate his
election are denounced as the worst enemies Of the
people. Here then is "a change which the locos
can put their finger on--they canpoint to the col
umns of the paper where It supported Mr.. Clay
when his views on every public question were pre-
cisely what they now, and to the same paper as
it comes forth three times week laden with abuse
of him and his principles. Formerly the same pa
per very severe upon land spectators and stock
jobbers, and denounced in no measured terms the
project which it fancied was foot for the assump
ton Of the debts of the States Of this Uniona pro-
ject which Mr.. Clay's friends never entertained
.Nosc it goes for annexing Texas to the United
States for the benefit Of spectators in Texas lands
and bonds, and TINS assuming the more than twen-
tv millions of Texas debt.
This then it will be acknowledged is a great
change in favor of the loco focos, and one which
their papers should boast Of from Maine to Geor-
gia. Does any one ask what this paper is, and
where published It the COLUMBIAN REGISTER,
published in NEw-HAyEN, and its editors are
belonged to Clay Club when the Register sup
ported Mr.. Clay-and the, principal contributors to
its columns, then as now. Messrs. Ingersols, OAR
ling g. Co., have changed with il. But some one
may say--"oh, this is an old affair--the Register
changed Immediately after the defeat Of Its candi-
date in 1882" We kss0ec that, but it is just like
the changes which the Register and other locofoco
papers are Boosting of every day-they almost all
occurred (where their is any foundation for their
statements) long before the last Presidential cleo
ton. But, another one may say, the Register sGys
that it and its friends "hGue zever chGnged'-that
they sswere democratic in 1882 and are democratic
now.'' We ksaosc that too-but the facts are as we
lily.
They svere in favor Of ffENRY Clay for the Pre-
sidency-in favor of a PR6TEc1IvE Tarif-a Ma
tional Bank and Mr. Clays bill for distributing the
proceeds of the Public Lands land they were oppo-
sed to the election of Gen. jackson to the Presden
cy and to his measures generally. They are now
on the opposite side on all these points support
ing man for the Presidency of whom all they can
say in his favor is that re- is Young jackson"
This is a change which Southern loco focos may
well be proud Of. Theses Northern dough faces
joined IN with them in thsir project for annexing
Texas to the Union to extend and perpetuate sla-
very and benefit SPECTATORS in Texas lands and
bonds, at an expense to the Union Of the many mil
lions Of Texas debt.
ONE WHO VOTED EoR HENRY CLAY IN
E 1892 AND HAS NOT CHANGED. -
HENRY CLAY AND THE KENTUCKIANs.
Featherstonhaugh, in new work just published
on his travels through the Slave States of America
says some good things as well as bad ones-to wit :
touching the character Of Henry Clay and the Ken
tuckians, he speaks in thefoowing glorious strain:
"The Kentuckians (says the writer) are an en-
terprising, Industrious and united peoples they in-
habit beautiful country, and cultivate generous
soil. With magnificent river upon their frontier
that can convey their tobacco. pork, corn and their
other various productions, to every part of the
earth, they seem to have all the elements within
themselves of permanent prosperity. The people
too do not appear to have been deOrnliged 6y Iosc
densagogWes to the erteat that they hGse been in
some Of the other States and hence arenet 80 much
under their influence, but rather listen to the pre-
cepts and initiate the exam pie Of their superiors-
