 have before referred to three lives written of Mr. Cay--the first, by Prentice, the se- cond, by Cary, the third, by the editors of the Fribuncs ana the fourth, and not least, Is just published by the editors of the New World. This press is established by the great Jacobin club of New ! ork, and Clay life is written by some one that certainly knows a great deal about Mr. Clay, privately and publicly. h all these lives, dr. Clay IS l held I'D as the negro's friend, and the unchaii- ged and uachangeable advocate oi universal emancipation. Indeed. much ot thls last 1 book is devoted to the subject and given up
 to tales about his boy Charles, and other lslayes--stating the numbers he has emanci- pated--how he feeds, clothes and uses them, and Is specially dedicated to the Whig cause throughout the Union No man can read and doubt that the partialities of Mr. Clay for universal emancipation, are inteudedto catch the masses of emancipators in the great Clay net that is spread for the next Presidential election Nor can the movements of the Hon. c. Davis be easily understood, in the late congressional canvass. True, he did net speak by authority, expressed by Mir Clay, but choose to find the flock by the ringing of the little sheep bell. What was lis pro- iect2 Why, first to dvest Congress of all the public lands, being only thousand mil- lions, or more, of acres, and to vest them ii States, or to make the national government q mere trustee of the national domains, for the Staies, and to pass an act of congress, ac- knowledging Congress, or the Government, debtors to the State, the sum for which all the public lands have sold, since the extin- Guishment of the revolutionary debt. This little sum would not add more than one hun- dred millions to the national debt Do you believe that this began with NIT. Davis : No, sir; no more than Mir. Davis descended from the moon. Who voted for Mr. Davis Mr. Clay. Who elected MT. Davis? Mir. Clay, Who approved of this plan?-Who originated the plan Of taking the thousands of millions of the public lands from Inc na- tional government, to be scattered to the winds by the States, but Ms Clay? Putthese things together, and what splendid paper asis- tocracy is proposed by Mir. Clay, as Q sabsti- ute for the present order of things.
 That 4Ir, Clay is wooing the paper oligor- chsts have already attempted to show; but cannot fail to again call your attention to his declaration in Congress, that his bank rupt bill was q part of his Whig system The paper barons will ever support a Presi- dent that will always have stocks in market, and q bankrupt bill ready to set gamblers in stocks free from their debt.
 My countrymen, imagine DIr. Clay eleva- t,1f tality of his clubs, the votes of the emancipa- tors, and those of the paper schemers and stoek-johbers, and what then becomes of the liberty and authority of the people? Such q President will not want the power of veto to check such Congress as he will then have In all the length and breadth of the land, there will be but one power-there will exist but one will, and that will be the power and will of the president.-Are there any here that desire to bring upon their country this state of things: Certainly not. And yet if ever the Clay clubs give this nation President, such condition is inevitable, as that cause produces effect. And is it possible that the lawyer, of Kentucky arc engaged in this scheme to put down the free sutirages of the country, and to place life and liberty itself in those vile recepaces of vice and lraud-the Clay clubs. That some will degrade them selves by being participants in the great plan of national corruption and fraud, is to be ex- pected but that the great body of the pro- lession will partake in the movements that are going on to enslave the country, I will not believe. am too old to act, but trust that the profession to which it was once my pride to belong, will rise in majority, if not en masse, and do as lawyers have ever done
 Jake sides with the people in this contest between constitutional liberty aad paper sla- very. The symptoms are already encourag- ing. Light is breaking in from the East The profession has, this year, sent into Con- gress five of its distinguished members, good and true-not collar men-nut wearing the livery ol master, but acknowledging no sovereign but the people. Among them, l rejoice to say, Is my valued friend, and that distinguished Jurist and Siateman, Judge French. To high order of talents and at- ainmenis, Judge French adds the character of an honest man. These lawyers have fought their way through all the corrupt in- iluences of the Clay clubs, and have come of victorious. True, Mir Clay and his clubs have victimizad young Wiekliae and MeCeaa- ry; but what of that3 Before these huge maSseS of corruption are removed, some must sacrifice themselves for the good of the whole Young Lawrens had to die before our revo- lution was complete. The blood of martyrs was always the seed of the church. My young friends of the profession, whom do you honor, these young men that have bold ly and manfully bearded the lion in his den, and stood forth the champions of the people, and the uncompromising advocates of consti- tntional liberty, that have been stricken down by the tyrants of the land, or the litde Title bat 1l'itmoases of the profession, that ha
 gained their elections through those sinks of corruption and dens of tyraats-tbe C}ag clabs---or by singing before the people, the Clay song, Il am for Henry Clay for Presi- dent, Bank of the United States and Dis tribntlonso Do you envy these things their collars' If you do, you are unworthy Of the profession of the law It is time high time, that the profession shall do its
