Iibcrallly Of Philadelphia Never since
the formation OF our government, has
here been sue a. general expression oO
deep and unaffected regret, at the result
of any Presidential election. Seldom has
any public man been regarded with such
warm and devoted affection by his
friends, as HENRY CLAY-never has any
man had ADLER defenders and more unre
Ienting and unscrupulous enemies, And
when the means by which this disastrous
result has been brought about are inves
tigated, a bitter and scorntul feeling arl.
SEES towards those who would condescend
to use them, mingled with dark and
gloomy forebodings as TO what is TO be
the future fate of this free and happy PEG
pie. If the choice of the american peo-
pie can be NATURALIzED out of the Presl'
dency, by unprlnclpled polltlca gamblers,
IN the short space of three weeks before
The election, then our boosted liberty is
al humbug An obsolete idea, may
continue, for a little while, TO have the form
of freedom, but the vitality of that & To-
rous boon, bequea,hed 10 us by our heroic
ancestors, will have departed forever.
But there is one reflection, in the midst
of all our reverses, that is conSoling, in
the highest degree, to every true Wing.
That reflection is, although our iIl1strl-
Gus chief is defeated, that defeat has
caused no bIemish TO rest upon has fame +;
that the voice of the American people
could not add one "cubic inch" TO his
stature-that their opproYal could not ell,
evate hjm TO a higher place in the temple
of fame, nor their disapproval cast him
from its glorious portals. lie is still the
same great, noble HENRY CLAY. HIS
name is inIissoluhly interviewer with
