HENRY Clay AND SIAvERY----C, M. Clay
does not like his northern Wing brethren, attempt
to conceal or overlook the fact that the Great
Wing idol was very guilty in relation to the
"Missouri Compromise" Neither does he hes
itate honestly to ayow his belief that his pro-
slavery character cost him the Presidency of the
United States. In the Leading editorial of the
third number of the "True American" review"
ing letter of Gov Metcaf's, he says
"Thc Governor attaches some importance to
himself for having voted with Mr. Clay for the
admission of Missouri into the Union; now if
this is the basis of his fame with posterity, his
ambition is low enough to meet with ample sati-
ety. and the stone walls which he has built as a
mason will much outliyc the fame of his acts as
a statesman. We never approved ofths vote Of
Mr.. Clay's; and whilst we regard his action on
that occasion as an evidence of his inteec-
tual eminence, and superior control over
his contemporaries, we at the same time cs-
teen it the unfortunate beginning of course of
policy, which has well nigh lost us our liberties,
and drives our republic upon the very verge OF
ruin; as well as the loss Of that moral power on
his part, which has shut him out from the Presi-
dency of the United States, and from that culmi-
mating ray of glory which for all time would
have illuminated his name, if this people had
found him in AZ, as they did in 1899, the fear
less advocate Of the UNIVERSAL liberty of men"

DEPENDENCE UPON THE NORTH.-A writer III
the Augusta Cmonlcle& Centinel speaking ofthe
dependence of the South upon the North for
many of the necessaries and comforts oflife, thus
graphically sums up the various items of our in
debtcdness
"They build our houses they adorn them with
furniture, and supply them with every comfort
ured. They educate cur children, and cover
our nakedness from head to foot, with hats and
shoes, coats and shirts; we eat their flour,
cheese butter, apples, Goldfish, potatoes, pickles
pork, and onions; we feed our cattle with
their hay, drive their horses in their harnesses
in their carriages with their whips; we walk witt
their sticks, ride ON their saddles, write on then
paper, wash with their soap, scrub with thei
brushes sweep with their brooms, milk in the
pals, cook in their pots, strike with their ham
mers blow with their bellows, cut with their axes
SOW with their Seed reap with their hooks, pull
with their leather, whitewash with their lime
paint with their paint, march by their tunes
read by their light, drink their Congress waite
and rum, smoke their cigars-and last and bes
of all these blessings,we marry their pretty girls
who make the best of wives"
This is heavy account Independence, but
is mostly true. What field, then lies all aroun
us for general domestic industry, and what Al
independent and wealthy country might this be
= fonly this field for enterprise were fitted u
simply to supply our own wants-Mobib Her.
