The last National Intrlligcncer contains an
Address from Join Quincy Adams to the Wing
Young Mems Club of Boston, in which Gen.
Jackson is pronounced the author of qcuful
falsehoOd and in which also occurs the following
sentence
"Young men Of Boston, your trial is approach
ing. The spirit of eedom and the spirit Of slave
ry are drawing together for the deadly conflict Of
arms. The annexation OF Texas to this Union is
the blast Of The trumpet for foreign, ciyik srrvile
and Indian war. of which the Government of
your country, fallen into fairhless hands, have al
ready twice given the signal fist by shameless
treaty, rejected BY virtuous Senate; and again
by the glove of defiance, hurled by TIE apostle OF
notification, at the avowed policy of the British
empire peacefully to promote tie extinction of
slavery throughout the world. Young men of
Boston: burnish your armor, prepare for the con-
fiic and say 10 you, in the language of Galgacus
10 the ancient Britons Think of your torefalhers
Think of your posterity''
We have no room for comments this week.
The above Language, be it remembered, comes
from Clay leader at the North, and from man
who was the choice of Mr.. Clay for President in
1924 and 1928

A DISCLOSURE AND A HIT.

Our readers undoubtedly remember that during
the last whig Congress the Hon. Thomas F. Mar
shall, of kentucky introduced series of resolu.
tions censuring John O. Adams for his efforts 10
dissolve the Union. At the late Nashville Dem.
ocraic Convention. Mr.. Marshall informed his
audience that the resolutions of censure upon Mr..
Adams introduced by him, were agreed upon in a
,vhig caucus, "noses were counted" and it was
ascertaincd that majority would vote for censur-
ing the I" old incrndiary." After the resolutions
had been presented to tho House for its considera-
ton, MIR. Adams spent long time in pouring forth
bis fierce inVectives upon MIR. Marshall and 9th.
ers but his efforts TO get the resolutions laid on the
table were unsuccessful. On learning that ma
jorty were disposed to ccnsure him, he suddenly
changed his mode of defence, and commenced a
furious onslaught upon Mr. Clay, charging that
the latter, in moving to abolish the veto power,
was struggling TO destroy the Union bv breaking
Adams were clear and cogrnt, showing that if
Mr.. Clay's proposition succeeded the Union could
not be preserved. The attack upon Mr. Claw
produced terrible 1uttering among the Wbi1
members. 1t was understood, said Mr.. Marshall
to be warning to the Wings, that, unless they
choleed him of, Mr.. Adams would take their lead
er, MIR. Clay, by the throat and strangle him. It
produced the effect intended by Mr. Adams An.
other Wing caucus was held, of which Mr.. Mar
shall was kept in ignorance, and it was agreed
that the resolutions of censure should be laid on
the table. Pursuant to that caucus arrangement
Mr.. Marshall was deserted by those who had
urged him to take the step which he had, and who
had promised to stand by him in the conflict
The resolutions tcsre consequently laid on the
table,
A short time subsequently,. Mr. Giddings began
to agitate the dissolution of the Union, and reso-
buttons were brought forward to expel him from

Mr.. Marshall in his conflict with Adams. were
seized with sudden indignation at the reasonable
proposition of Mr. Giddings, and gave vent, to
their patriotism in eloquent speeches Just as thev
were about to vote on the Giddings' resolutions.

A AJESUITICAL APOLOGY FOR DUELlNG. I.
Henry CIay's recent letter to citizens Of West
mo-eland county, Pennsylvania, on Guelling, has
been termed by those who lcok at it closely most
ingenious, and therefore The more dangerous pal
! iaton for duclling. Even at his advanced age,
bordering on seventy he does not take that dec ded
stand against dueling which the public sentiment
of the age had right to demand He pointedly
refuses to say that he shall not fight another duel.
Here the words Of MIR. Clay, written this very
month of August; and we wish the moral-Ioving,
truth-abiding, and duef-hating freemen Of the Uni
ted States to notice every line:
"You ask me whether, ii | were challenged to
fight duel, | would rs jrct the invitation ? Con-
sidering my age, which is now past sixty-sevcn.
feel that should expose myselfto ridicue if
were to proclaim whether would or would not
fight duel 1t is certainly of the most un-
likely events that can possibly be imagined and
cannot conceive case in which l should be
provoked or tempted to go to the field Of combat;
6ut cannot foresce all the eOnting geneies achieh
may possibly arise in The short remnant of ma hfe
and for the reason which have already stated, of
avoiding any exposure of myself 10 ridicue, 1 cGu-
mt reconcile ii to my sense of prOpriety to make
declaration one 1rGy or the 0ther."
Look at that closely, and we ask all to say, if
they do not perceive that the folirs and passions

The New York Morning News thus pertinent
ly sets forth the dangerous influence of this most
insidious letter:
"Mr. Clay virtually throws all the great inflr,-
rnce of his sanction and example-all the weight
Of his position, talents, character, and popularity,
popularity. at least, with the main bulk of the ,
persons occupying those spheres in soci.ty to !
which dueling is chiefly confined Ion the other !
'ide of the wavering scales of public sentiment, on
his subject. MIR. Clay can never know how ma
~ young men, whose opinions were in the pro- !
yrcss Of maturing into the ripe results of sound ,
md settled principles, will be made decided duel
sis for life by the influence of this letter. The !
orce and general social diffusion of right scn,i-
nen on this subject, afford the only counteracing
influence against that of the false and bad pubic ;
opinion by which dueling is sustained, and men
made to feel fancy themselves compelled to give
md accept challenges to this foul and foolish game
# murder.
Lrt it not be said in reply, that Mr. CLAY in !
his letter does declare strong reprobation of the
practice, and that it is at worst a mere pirce of
'atry non-commiltalism on the question. Ninety
line duelsts in hundred make similar decIarn-
always TO reservations which Who'll
v nullify all their meaning or worth.n

Bolh Of these papers have laid themselves more
fairly open to libel suit from us, than any Of
those which the Journal has so ridicAously sued.

in the same sheet in which it charges US with our

(Whig) Democrat has recorded the arrival OF a

we find on the same page:

towards the door. He was stopped BY one of his
treacherous Whig friends, and asked in tone OF
surprise if he did not intend TO remain and vote
against that internal fellow Giddings." "No,"
was the pointed retort of Mr.. Marshall, ono ltyou
refused to help me throttle the lion, and younnay
now hunt down the polecat yourselves"
These facts afford striking proof of the char
acter of the Whig Congress. Partisanship for
Mr.. Clay exercised a stronger influence over that
BODY than patriotism or love of the Union.
