CASSlUS M, AND HENRY CLAY.
IMPORTANT REPUTATION
The following extract from an article
recently published by Cussius M. Clay,
contains the damning proof that the Hon.
Henry Clay was priyy to, and sanctioned
the mission (and lis mGtiyes) of The former
among the Northern Aboilionists at cri.
iicaI period Of the late Presidential con
test. This fact was charged by the demo-
cratic press at the time, and bitterly dcni.
ed by the wings; what will these Scrapu.
lously reracious gentry have to say now,
and in the face Of such proof as the fol-
lowing [Appeal.

central committee for the wings of Ken
tucky--by special invitation from about
fifty whig clubs of the Norlh--by the re.
quest, before my departure, Of four hun.
dred and sixteen committee men, repre-.
seniing clubs, counties and conventions
by the irresistible persuasion IT fifty pa
trioiic whig women Of Ohio-and last Of
all BY the Iacit approval Of the lender Of
the wing party, Henry Clay. The day
before left Lexington, called upon Mr..
Clay and told him the pnrplsc Of my mis-
sion; that il was thought by our friends
that coalj have an influence, from my
peculiar position, with the anti slavery,
anti Texas voters Of The free States, which
no other man coull, and that was will
ling to go if | could aid the whig cause.
Mr., Clay said nothing, but nodded his
head with an approving smile; and after
some unimporlant conversation, he offered
me letters Of introduction, which declin.
ed as unnecessary. Q. NJ. CLAY"

course of the President and of the Secre-

extent of the propositions laid down by
Mr.. M'Dnfiie in his late letter, The mi

The TARIFF. The Washington Union
quotes from Gen. McDunie's letter, and
declares that his confidence in the admin.
istraion is not i'll plac d, and that he and
the State rights party will find Mr.. Polk
true to the principles Of strictly reve-
nno tariff, upon which he went inlo office.
This we hope, will allay all doubt upon
this subject; and convince The Protection.
lists that they make gra,uitous calculations
when they look for any desertion Of the
true democratic ground in Mr.. Polk.
