J. p. KENNEDY.

The National lnteligencer OF this morning.
introduces the name Of this person, with por-
ton of his late address, second edition oil the
Infamous omaniiesto," (uow acknowledged to
be such by large portion OF the Whigs') Just
issued by him 10 the Wings Of Baltimore We
need moi inform our readers that TINS MI MN
nedv il The notorious indy idual who penned (a'
least he has the credit of i) The 'maniieslo''
a document promulgated by majority OF the
Wing members (now mostly deiunc') oil 'he
9th Congress, admitted BY high-minded men
of all parties, 10 be alike contemplate IN terms
injurious to the responsibility of the wing
cause, and wantonly insulting to the hohor anu
dignity of the country. The influence OF
Messrs Clay, Bolts, Kennedy, Arnold otan'y'
Smith, &C. &c, prevailed over The better sense
and more honest intentions of a majority 9th
Whiq party, and The silly and infamous
address was issued Hence the punishment OF
the innocent with the guilty at the ensuing
elections. Nearly hundred Wig members
of Congress uere renlorselessly SACRIFICED 10
CRAFTY the malignity Of Mr.. Clay
Mr.. Kennedy must reckon largely on the
strong Wing majority in the district ne desires
10 represent, when he supposes that he VIII now
escape the fate which has belallen his wretched
compeers in folly and infamy.
Mr.. Legrand, the opponent of Mr.. X, is
Republican He is not a Globe Benton Loco
toco-bnt sturdy and eloquent champion OF
orthodox Republicanism. We hope the friends
of the Administration will rally 10 man on Mr..
Legrand Let them teach this Mr.. Kennedy
the same lesson which, in other parts OF the
country, they have taught in bitter terms TO the
Stanleys, Potlses, and Smiths, of the 9Th Con-
gress. Let them vindicate the honor of the
country, and the reputation of the Chief Magis-
trate, by consigning this saucy poliliclan-saucy
with his pen for he did not dare to open his mouth
wien in his seattle last of the prof gate revi-
lers in the 9Th Congress, TO oblivion. So the
country may in time recover from the disgrace
inflicted upon it by the unprincipled calumnia-
tors of 1S41-'42.
We extract portion Of Mr.. Kennedy's Ad-
dress from the National Lteliigencer, that our
readers may see the disposition of the Presi-
dents revilers to renew the war; We are ready
for the fight, let the attack come from wha,
quarter it may:
"The twenty seventh Congress found itself under
embarrassments OF extraordinary knd-embar-
easements which very grievously impeded its endea-
vors to do its duty to the country 1t was made the
object Of unmtgated assault and vtuperation, both
on the part of old political opponents, and Of
that new opponent which sPrang up in the recreant
Executive OF the Government"
Mr.. Manifesto Kennedy no doubt wrote this
under the conviction that Mr.. Clay was iney
itably 10 be elected, and with slitterng reward
dazzling his fancy What if il be a fiction p
: With such tools as Mr.. Kennedy, the Baltimore
Patriot, the Richmond Wing, &c. &C., Mr.. Clay
is doomed to commit suicide. " Burnt brandy
cannot save him."
As for the Intelligencer, which has taken the
pains to reproduce the SANDER in Washington,
we are aware that it acts upon cool calcula-
lion. II will advocate Mr.. Clay, but it would Sc
cretly rejoice at his defeat 1t would rejoice, be-
cause Mr.. c. is not its choice, and lis favorite
can never be forgiven, can never succeed, If
Mr. Clay should be elected. The Intelliyencer
may or il may not know that, If MIR. Clay
should be elected, John NJ. Clayton would be his
pet candidate for The succession.
But Mr.. Kennedy is the " recreant''--not the
Executive" After the Manifesto, Mr. X. sat
two sessions, silently and demurely as a lamb
He had not the nerve TO assail the Presiden,
in debate. Nor will he have if he should be
elected.
