Good Advice.

The following, which we copy from the Mil
ledgeville, Geo, Journal, of the 9Th inst, will
| be read with as much interest here in PENN
sylvania, as in Georgia. After assuring us that
the Congressional election, held on the 7th
inst, was only skrmish and tha, the gallant
Wings are prepared for the great aud decisive
battle, TO be fought in November, the editor
makes the following remarks:
What does The present contest present 10 the
| eve of every American. First. here is HEN
| RY CLAY, man who has for five and thirty
years served the nation in her councils. Able,
! eloquent, honest and patriotic, he has been al
ways foremost in maintaining the honor of his
country when assailed, and in advancing its in
leresls by advocating measures which time has
proven beneficial in the highest degree to the
country. In war, he was foremost IN defend
| ing American honor, American rights and, in
peace, the wisdom of his counsel has made his
name respected abroad, and venerated at home.
Wherever you go. The name of Henry Clay is
known, aud al every Court in the civilized
world. II is passport TO the individual who
bears it's recommendation Crowned heads re-
spect, while they may fear its influence, and in
every log cabin OF our State, and throug hout the
| Union, he is known as the American pa,rio, of
noble bearing. While reuilers SANDER him,
even they do not believe that aughl can njure
his fair name. but hide their heads while their
| lips do lie. Such man is HENRY CLAY
! Now look 10 his opponent!
Who is JAMES K. POLK7 An obscure
citizen of Tennessee. made promineu, by that
most baeful Of all influences, party action =
! True, he was once Governor OF Tennessee, but
the very people who once placed him there,
tUtce refused To do the same &C. over again, and
bun for the divisions and dlssensions of his own
| political associates, he wouid never have again
been though, of az candidate for any high STA
,ion lei alone Tor the Presidency Let our
readers ask, where has this man distinguished
himself! what great measure has brought him
into notice what long lie has been spent in
the service of his country? where and when
did he acquire for himself fame 1t is ,npos-
sibie for any one 10 answer, favorable TO his
pTeiensons, these questions Well informed
men know Mr.. Polk for acts that reflect no
credi, upon him. They know him, first, 20 be
the descendant Of Tory in the Revolutionary
war, and il is repngnan, 10 American feeling, al
least ,chile solitary soldier Of the Revolution
liues, 10 place at the head of The nation, in the
seat that WASHINGTON once filed, any
man in whose veins TORY BLOOD so freely
crculales. They know him as one in Con.
gress, who, on all importan! occasions, voted
against granting 10 Revolutionary soldiers, their
pensions They know him as the man, whon
WISE denounced to his face as the petty tool o.
Iyrant-and they know him, as the Speaker
OF the House of Representatives of Congress
10 whom vote of thanks was refused by a
very large number of its members, because o.
the parizan character which distinguished his
term of presiding! In word they know
JAMES X. POLK as every way undeservine
the high station 10 which party, bound to-
gether by the cohesive power Of plunder,'
would elevate him. Such is the man whom
the Democrats wish the people 10 vote fol
agans, HENRY CLAY! Who will hesitate &c
choose between the two?
