BASE AND UNcALLED FoR-The Signal of
Liberty appears. this week. strictly in lis proper
character. Scarce'v could It more Justly boast of
being true 10 IFS nstnc,s, at any time previous TO
the last election. La It's remarks Oh the late Lex
iugton outrage, it makes the following attempt to
attach blame to the Hon. Henry Clay.
Henry Clay resides st Lexington and might
have done very much 10 quell The mob, had he
been so disposed for his influence is represen.
ted as almost unbounded. But instead of doing
so, he left tor the White Sulphur Springs in Vir-
ginia on Saturday, when he knew that on monday
following the atemp; would be made to suppress
or destroy the True American. By thus leaving
with his US Ial sagacly, lie evaded all RESPONSE
bility for the results and relieved from all ne
cessity of taking the side of Free Press or of the
Mobocrats, Had he remained he must have coun
tenanced one party or the other. His expedent
of avoiding such an unpleasant position, by leaving
the place is quite characteristic of The great Com
promlser.

ternoon, the first Public Meeting was held, yet no
course of action was determined on, no mob threat

Il. Clay was entirely ignorant of the pro ceedings
On Saturday he departed in pursuance of his
own private arrangements. What course was 10
be pursued towards C. M. Clay and his press,
was not determined until the committee of Friday
reported to the meeting of Monday, tro days af-
Ter FL. Clay's departure. How then could he
know that on Monday an attempt would be made
to destroy or suppress the True American This
c. M. Clay himself did not know. for it was not
determined on, and on Sunday he was still address
ing the citizens. Thus vanishes into thin air this
base nslruafion, for its utter want of any founda-
ion forbids it any other name.
