LETTER FROM CASSTUS Nj. CLAY.

LEXINGTON, Ky. March 90, 1914.
w. l. mckinney, esq. Mayor Of Dayton
ohio.
DEAR SIR-Your letter Of February
18th last, was in due time received, and
] have waited thus long, with the inten-
ton of not answering it at all, because,
as | am private citizen, not seeking Of
flee at the hands Of the people, it might
seem TO place me in the presumptuous
attitude of attempting to influence, by
mere weight of opinion, the votes OF my
countrymen in their choice of President,
when neither my age, experience, nor
fame, warranted the assumption. But
since the reception of your letter, have
received many of similar import, from
liberty men, and anti-slavery wings, in
most of the northern States, pressing
upon me n expression ofopinion, in such
manner that should prove false TO that
spirit of candor, which proudly cherish
as characteristic of the principles which
l advocate, did l, through any afectation
of humility, remain longer silent. You
ask me, "Will you, if you live, and are
able to vote at the approaching presden-
tial election, vote for Henry Clay for
President? If the third party, or liberty
men, should have an electoral ticket in
your State, would you vote that ticket in
preference Were you citizen of Ohio,
which of these tickets would you vote p
The last two questions are such as would
require curious oth'r suggestions to be
made, before l could give suitable an
swer in justice to myself and all the par
ties concerned, which would be too Vo'
luminous for the space of a single letter
and, for all practical purposes, they vii
be sufficiently answered in my reply &c

The Heroic "Colored Man.''

We published at the time, an account
of the rescue ofthe President ofthe Uni
ted States from the peril of death, when
returning from the funeral of the men
who lost their lives on the Princeton
The man who peried his own life to save
the President, was "colored man." and
therefore was not worthy to have even
his name chronicled by the Washington
editors and writer's. The following good
suggestions in relation to the subject, are
fom the Oberln Evangelist:
THAT CoLoRED HERo!- The man who
sprang and seized the Presidents horses
just as they were about to dash the car
rage against pile of rocks, and thus at
the imminent peril of his own life, saved
our Chief Magistrate from inevitable
death-we would ask whether that
hero is slave? If he be, will not Pres
ident Tyler esteem it privilege to pur-
chase him and give him his Liberty? This
would certainly be handsome compen-
saiion, and in our opinion the only appro-
pirate one. LIFE AND LIBERTY sound
well together! Shall not the man who
has fundamentally and at grea personal
risk, given life to our President, receive
his liberty, whatever it may cost, from
him he has SO highly favored? The deed
of that colored man will go down to pos
terity along with the history ofPresident
Tyler; shall it not also be recorded on
the same page that the President evinced
his gratitude by ransoming him from sla-
very3
But flour Chief Magistrate should feel
that he could not afford this-having Just
given $500 to the mother of "his color
ed servant"who was killed on the Prince
ton-besdes having to meet the heavier
expenses of his weekly levees, (though
we would naturally suppose that these
would be suspended for short time, af
ter these death scenes and chair breadth
escapes,") if President Tyler cannot af-
ford so costly an act Of gratitude, will
not Congress do this magnanimous deed?
viii not the Representatives of CRATE
ful people, people rescued, in the midst
oftheir universal grief, from more over
whelming calamity by the heroism of this
noble African, will they not, with mag
nanimity which will honor themselves
and adorn their country, proclaim this
man, wife and children if he have them,
yea his father and his honored mother
all free?
We would therefore respectfully sug-
gest, in the event of President Tyler de-
clining this distinguished honor, that the
venerable John Quincy Adams move the
measure in the House, and that the
House pass it by reclamation.

citizens Of the free States, and that gen.

would abolish that system of unparalleled
wrong.
