WILL HENRY CLAY
Receive e5sc Electoral vote 0G Ohio!

A friend of ours, residing in Mnnsfeid, Rich
land county, an aged and highly respectable man
writes us as follows: at is worthy of remark,
that a number of circumstances have operated in
favor of the election of Mr.. Barley, that cannot
be brought up in aid Of II. Clay. Mr.. Blrtley is
a somewhat prominent member of the Methodist
church, and has son-In-law who is rather Il pop
uIar preacher in that church; therefore u great
number Of democratic Methodists cast their votes
in favor Of Mr.. Barley, who cannot be induced
to saction the h~agjtious immoralities Of Henry
Clay, by casting their votes in favor of that sem
bodjmcHt' OF Wing principles, British predilec-
tons, moral tcrpitudc, and political chIcanery.
Again it is understood, that Mr.. Blrtley's views
on the subject Of slaycry prcponderate i'll favor Of
port from the liberty party--and 10 these iortuil-
GUS circumstances is Mr.. Barley indebted for
his clc~clion--neither Of which can, by any possj-
bilty, be brought in to aid the election oS II,
Clay. Nay more, no conscientious or really NOR
al man, can cast his vote in favor of an individu-
al whose flagitjoua injqaitjes arc as notorious as
the sun at noon-day--and although J, X, Polk
may receive but slight support from the Liberty
party, yet it is impossible that any honest aboli,
zionist, or really pious man can cast his vote in
favor of II. Clay--tho marvellous hunbug tales

HENRY CLAX'S Profanity and insult
TO Ladies On board the Steamboat
down Ihe Ohio River last spring, PRO
VEN by a devoted Preacher of the Cos
pei, and am eye witness.
We published in the Sentinel some time since
a letter from Mr.. Cyrus McNealy o fGrocn town
ship, in this county, in relation TO Henry Clay's
gross immortality, indecency and profanity on
board of steam boat, on the Ohio river. The
statement of Mr.. McNeely is more than substan-
tialed by the following lotterfrom the Rev. Hugh
Forsyth, of Fairview, Guernsey county, o., TO
the Rev. S. Findloy of Lexington, Richland coun-
ty. both of whom are we'll known 10 most of the
citizens of Cadjz, as very intelligent and highly
respectable citizens and most exemplary and dc.
voted christians. G-Both of these clergymen
are wings, Those who know the Rev. Mr.. For
syth will at once say that the Jules confidence
may be placed in what he below details. The
federal papers are publishing whitc-washing Ger,
~tifcatos of Henry Clay's moral character from
the Rev. MI. Bascom and the Rev. Alexander
Campbell, which prove just nothing at all! Mr.
Campbell states that Henry Clay presided as
Moderator, in the debate between himself anc
the Rev. Mr.. Rice, and that he has seen him ii
Church, and therefore he comes to the very sage
conclusion that because Henry Clay did not play
cards while sitting as moderator, or utter prolant
language in the house of God, he must be a NOR
al and upright man! Mr.. Campbell says further
if Henry Claysis an IMMORAL and proilne man, i
should not operate against him in the minds o
christians, as all our Presidents have been pro-
fame men! Oh, what an argument, for a Preach
er of the Gospel to use! The clergyman whc
would certify that Henry Clay is free from ilnmor
atty, profanity and RIGHTEOUSNESS, is unquestlon
ably in full favor with the Devil! Oh, what
fcarly account he will have to rcnderat The Grca
Day.-But to the letter of the Rev. Hugh For

never was and never will be popu-
lar in Ohio. Let the Democrats but
cast the same vote on next Friday they
did at the. Goyornor's Election, and
we will carry the state. But, fellow
democrats WE MUST DO MORE
WE MUST INCREASE THAT
VOTE. In many counties in the state
owing to divisions in our ranks, our
vote was unusually small. This will
not be the case OIL Friday. In Ham
ilton county the damocratspledge them
selves to increase the vote 800. Old
Richland promises to give Polk $500
majority, and she can do it. Stark
will increase her majority some 800
a" least; and tho CoIumbiana boys
promise to do the same. In other coun-
ties, where local difficulties existed in
the democratic ranks, so as to prevent
a full turn out, we shall have a largely
increased vote. But independent of
these changes, which may be safely cal
cuIated upon in favor o Jamos K. Polk
we believe each county in the state
will claim tho honor Of increasing their
Democratic vote.
