REASONS WHY THE, HONEST WINGS
| SHOULD AND WHY THEY WILL OPPOSE
HENRf CLAY.
The present contest in many respects in un-exampeC
in the political history of our Country. For THE frs
time we behold candidate brought out for the Pres
dency by the leaders ofthe whis party, against the ex-
press will of the mass of thatpary.
No one will pretend 10 say that Henry Clay is the
choice of the farmers ofhe mechanics or of the work
ingmen- The reasons Of their opposition to him are ra
tional and numerous,
First, the people in general, dislike him, because he
S PROUD, OVERBEARING and ARROGANT. Sec
ond, they are opposed 10 him because he is cold
booded duellist.' Third, because he is notorious
GAMBLER Fourth, because he was the father
father and the founder of the infamous BANKRUPT
LAW Fifth because he tooka bribe Of SEVENTEEN
THOUSAND DOLLARS, from the United States Bank
Sixth because he is opposed 10 extendingh rights Of
citizens to foreigners. Seventh because he is slave
holder and slave trader Eighth because he is false
and decepious; protesting to be opposed to protective
Tariff in the South For these and many other reasons
the mass of the whig party, were opposed 10 the nom

reconcile with yeut duty y6dt creator and your e
low beings to vote for duest and gambler? For
you know that Henry Clay is BOTH; Are you anAbo.

and slave trader2 Are you in favor Of the Representa-
ves being bound, by the will Of their constituents? II
So how can you support Henry Clay7 For he has de-
clared thattha Representative was not bound by the in
structons Of his constituents. Was Henry Clay, your
choice? Ifnot, why support him7 1t becomes your
duty 10 yourself and your country 10 oppose the man in
whomyou cannoconfde, and to cast off the shackes
