Again, the Immaculate Seward h,.

Clay Club Of Orleans county, takes coca.
sion 10 express himself of slavery in the
following terms, and of Henry Gays pro-
bable course in regard to it:

shall postpone this evil now? A WING

HEREAFTER BUT A WING ADMl-
NlSTRATION AND A WING CON-
And who shall lead The way
in these great measures but the wings Of
Western New York-who led the way in
1887, and 1888, and 1S4ll And who 50

self-sacrifcing patriotism has SO often

But to cover these anti.Texas, and abO.
lition movements, and raise false issues, it
is also thought necessary that Mr.. Clay
should give countenance 10 the prePoster-

The wing Senate rejected not only Ty-I

Their rejection of the bill is conclusive
hat they are opposed to annexation IN

tie expression of hostility against the

phemeral eballitions of feeling which
