CAssIUs M. CLAY-OPIN1oNs OF THE
PREss.-It is indeed gratifying to perceive
the unanimity Of sentiment in regard to the
suppression Of that rank Abolition Journal
the "True American" by the citizens of
Lexington, Ky,s manifested by the leading
presses of bothPolitical parties throughout
the Union. Their conduct in thus calmly.
deliberately, but learlessly anesting the
progress Of that instrument, established in
their very midst to destroy the peace and
quietude Of their fresides-toexcite the evil
spirit OF rebellion to be quenched alone
with blood, has been greeted with loud com.
mendation in nearly every portion of the
Union. 1t is true, the Louisville Journal
and the New York Tribune, have dared to
raise the voice of censure against those
worthy citizens who acted in obedience to
the demands of the first law of nature,
seIt-detence, yet, they have been amply re.
buked by the patriotic and independent
presses of the same political faith. When
such disposition is manifested by the PEG.

rawlings of bigOted fanatics can avail any.

''He would have il increased to twenty, thirty,
fifty. hundred, a thousand, ny, even to two thou
sand dollars so that but ,ceahhy men could af.
ford to come here, and then we should have good
emigrants," sc.
Capital democracy this! But it TALES well with
the rest Of the points Of the native creed and every
one of them are parts and parcels Of old federalism
Ii was just what the old monarchists waited the
emigration of s,oeaihy' emigranis; that is Of tie
mobility. None of them, from John Adams allen
law day to the present, objected to Count this,
or the Marquis that or SIR somebody else, coming
here. They could be all RPS for monarchy! And this
was just what they wanted The native demagogues
who are fishing or spoils and place, are past reason
but we put It seriouly 10 an honest minded native,
which Of the Two kinds Of emgrants are likely to
prove the most valuable American citizens--
1, Those who come here who have grown rich un-
