Mr.. CLAY'S TOUR.

Mr.. Clay is " stumping" and oratorising " his
slow length along INDUCING both foes and
friends with presidential eloguence. He has
reached South Carolina in his Eectioneering ca

Webster, in a New Hampshire letter, administers
to him very unkind cut. Hear him" The of.
fee of President should not be sought after by
personal solicitations - Personal solicitations
here signify Elecsioneering Speeches; as no man
ever asks for offices, especially high ones.
AT Columbus, Ga, Mr.. Clay announced him.

means. that he favors moderate tar upon foreign
Merchandise. Here follow, his Words
"lnAuenced by desire to avert the coming
danger, and anxious to perpetunte the Union and
give peace to distracted country, brought for

is ten per cent bclo,c the rate of the bill at pres.

Wing Victory in Connecticut has dwindled down
to a" minute point" after oil the fanfaronade
made about it. The Hartford Times says: tina,
in" Is towns there was no choice for Rspresen.
tatives, and in l6 efthem the Democrats led on III.
uote. for Governor. A great portion Of these
towns, adjourned vithout day, on the first Monday
of April, though they had the privilege to adjourn
over for further trials. 1t also says: that there
was g an organized system among the Wings to
procure the final adjournment Of tho meeting in
every Democratic town, where there should be
no choice on the first days voting" They were
successful, although some of the towns did ad.
Journ over, giving another opportunity to settle 10.
cal difficulties. Had all the towns done their duty,
and followed this example, the Democrats would
have had the entire ticket Of the State. ain a
word. had the towns in which there was no choice
adjourned over for another trial, az they should
have done, sndasthe law provides, the State would
have been entirely in the handso Of the Democrats.

In Mr.. Van Buren's letter published last week,
our readers discover that one falsehood has been
nailed, that the great Albert Pike is very prone to
err, and that we fear, ofttimos maliciou.ly. Mr..
Van Buren, publicly denies that had he been in
Congress at the time, he would have voted for
tho cd ious Bankrup: Law. This is but one in.
stance where the Wings have perverted the truth,
but one instance Of their inclination to reason by
false assumptions and allegations; and tits fair to
suppose that were other charges traced, they
would prove equally untrue aud malicious.
