We really hope that the shock has not

But to the Free Press article:-
HENRY CLAY AT New ORLEANS Gel
DEBATING THE Sih OF JANgARYI--We
copy the following from the New Orleans
Courier of the 9th. We commend it to
every man of proper feeling in the coun-
try:
"THE EIGHTH OF JANUARY.-It was
curious thing to behold Mr.. Fl. Clay in
the procession of the 9Th, and participate
ing in the ceremonies of the Cathedral,
performed to commemorate the glorious
victory of GEN. jackson and his com.
panions in arms. lfthat event is worthy
of celebration---if the Generals services
are deserving of the loud praises which
are bestowed upon them with one acc lain
by his fellow-citizens, surely it is time
that Mr.. Clay's friends should cease their
wolfish opposition to the relunding OF that
miserable fine which was imposed upon
the General in an hour of irritation and
vexation by Judge Hall, for carrying the
martiallaw into full effect without respect
to persons. To see Mr.. Clay ostenta-
tiously exhibiting himself in the process
sion and at the church ceremoies, whilst
his friends persist in perpe,uatng this in
suit to the Generals feelings and injury
to his reputation, forces enc to suspec,
that he is manGuvring for popularity and
his partisans in Congress are fulfilling
the real wishes of his party"
Now if James Buchanan of Pennsyl-
vania, or Chief Justice r. b. fancy of
Baltimore, or Governor Henry Hubbard,
Of New Hampshire, or Gen. G. u. Wall.
Vt New Jersey, or any one. or more, of
the thousands of old blue light federaIists,
that offered up their prayers for the sue
cess of Lord Packenham, and even exuli-
ed in the hope and prospect of a victory
to the British arms at New Orleans--for
the reason that it would have been the
overthrow and destruction of the then de-
mocratic cause and party in the U. States
If any or all Of those who have since
joined Martin Van Buren's Democratic
Party, had joined in procession TO cele-
brate the victory at New Orleans; in the
estimation Of the Press, it wonid no
doubt, all have been right. But for HEN
RY CLAY, who was foremost IN proclaim
ing and maintaining the war, aud who
was deemed most worthy to represent his
country in negotiating peace, and who
sustained Gen. Jackson to the utmost of
his ability in maintaining the cause ofhis
country and the honor of the American
Army, while The Hartford Convention
horde that are now supporting Martin
Van Buren,, were burning blue lights is
signals to our enemy, and passing resolves,
"That it was unbecoming a moral and
religious people to rejoice at the victory
obtained in so unjust war;" for such
man as Henry Clay ard under such Cir
cumstances to celebrate the Anniversary
of the victory at New Orleans, it is iru-
" awfuI!--and the worst of all is that
this affair of the New Orleans victory,
and the old Generals fine seems TO have
constituted the entire capital stock, on
which the poor little bog spawned, wlud
broken, double distanced, kinder-hoolI

leans.
Henry Clay's labors contributed as
largely to that victory as did the labors
of any other man, and his exertions are
known to the world. He g'ored in the
achievement then. and has done so ever
