Comments Of the Efpress.
We yield with all due Difference 10 the express dec

cause and TO Henry Clay with all the knowledge ana
ability he possessed-but must continue 10 nou ma
10 the Abolition topics on which he addressed inc P'
he was most unfortunate the result mas SHOWN Inc

~. Now il the Express has meant any thing IN
dragging Gov Seward into this controversy, 1t has
intended TO make lis readers believe that Gov ,
rloved false in the great campaign OF l5ii-ihat,
while ncglectng bis pressing business and canvass
ing for weeks in the most remote portions OF the
State. he was really working to defeat and not TO
elect Mr.. Clay This is what the deadliest enemies
of Gov S. have openly said, and the Express meant
10 have understood. Now that Gov Seward, as
well as his friends have met this charge OF Treach
cry, with peremptory denial, the Express iapers
off into complaint that Gov. 5. did not command
success for the Wing cause, when all the powers OF
earth and air seemed to conspire against II
The Express speaks Of the great increase OF
Birney votes in the Abolition Counties in ISL
But the Express conceas the fact that this in
crease" took place betore 1874 1t was fully mani
tested in the Election Of ls43. Gov. Seward, be
eving the success of Mr. Clay essential to the
cause OF Human Liberty and 10 the maintenance
Of the Protective Policy, devoted himself 10 the
work of winning back these $4,000 voters TO the
Wing standard To do this, he must OF course dis
cuss topics and use arguments connected with the
Slavery question, and he did So That he did not
succeed is certain but that the fault was not his is
equally So The Express acquits his Intention
does il doubt his ability!
The Wing loss in the Northern row of Counties
was but partially caused by Abolition. Native
Americanism did the rest of the job Its easy for
the Express TO say that this was but local matter
but the Canadian refugees settled in these Nor
thern Counties would not view ii in that light DR.
O'Callaghan and Counselor Gaiiney went among
them with the documents showed them that the
Express Courier, and Commercial had aided the
Natives 10 triumph in our Charter Election-ihat
the Albany Daily and Citizen plainly sympathzcd
with the feeling if not the action which had produ
ced this resultant most of these claimed TO be OF
the regular Clay stamp, and characterized Gov Sew
ard, the Eve journal and The Tribune rs schs-
mates and not genuine Clay men. They were now
ready to open the Philadelphia Riots Church
burning &c and they did it with power. The re-
sui, was the defeat of Mr.. Clay
The Express says that our statement tina, Gov.
Stewards and c. NJ. Clay ani-Slavery letters called
out Mr. Clay's Alabama letters, " confirms what we
'lExp.l have elsewhere said that Gov. SIS mode of
clectioncering, uuInleniionally no doubt, was anti
CLAY" Wei, sir; we knew perfectly well that
YOU would make this use of il. when we said what
we thought due in Justice 10 Mr.. Clay. Now what
becomes of your dasiardy SANDER that our ifbany
masters would not lei us publish some OF your sage
lucubrations That remark Of ours was more cal
culatcd to give pain to those you aim at than if we
had copied all your silly calumnes upon them. We
deeply regretted the necessity of making it, Yet
we say again as we have ever felt that it was the
deep anxiety of Gov Seward and c. NJ. Clay to save
the Whig tickets here which led them TO overlook
the use which Loco Focoism would make Of
those letters in the Slave States. Here the effect Of
their letters was good, was intended. But South
ern Slavery insisted that Mr. Clay should no, stand
ON even passive AntSavery ground, and hence the
mischief
