forty years, and in that time have been
associated with all the great men of the
Of the country. Leaving out Madison
and Gallatin, who were old men when
nrst stepped upon the theatre OF politics,
l 'oiH place Jefferson first, Their Henry
Clay. He is perfect Hercules in all

single quality for instance, Webster
may be greater logician; or some may
be more renowned for deep researches;
but take Clay all in all, he has not an

Thcs. we have an anonymous accept

modesty with which it is put forth, as
we'll as The choice Of position, shows that
the author, if not very good soldier
in the raLks, is at least skilful tactic
ian, and something of general The
public have right TO know wto il is that
accepts our challenge, and at the same
time discaims the ability to do Justice to

sent 10 this stroke ofhis genoralship, on

escape responsibility and refuse 10 ack-
nowledge any error into which he may
be shown in course ofargument to have
fallen, and on the other charge defeat,
ir in any thing he should be defeated,
on his own weakness, while he PERSISTS
that the doctrines OF his party are tri-
umphant, would be to embark in dis
little calculated to arrive at trulh, and
which perchance will be more takenup
with collateral matters than with the
main issues presented. For the reason
that disagreement might arise we sug-
gested an umpire, who could not act Ie-
tween us and an unknown correspondent
And the fact that a question has even
now fairly arisen shows the necessity
of such an umpire. We suppose him
wholly mistaken in asserting that par

he has sought the discussion.
