CAssIus Nj. CLAY.-The best thing
we have ever heard Of this man is, his
promptness in volunteering for the
Mexican war. His course heretofore
presents strange combination of op
posites-in short, constant paradox
As a ranting abolitionist, he was deal
ing in slaves---as an opposer of duelling,
he could act rs second to a duel be-
tween members of his own family-as
non-resistanco society man he slash
cd Mr.. Brown to pieceswith bowie
knife at cock-fight or horse race-as
as a christian, he roved the country on
the Sabbath-as denouncer Of slave.
holders, he went all lengths to elect
one TO the Presideney--and finally,
while protesting the utmost horror at
the annexation Of Texas, he has now
gone to fight to preserve tito this eoun-
try! Such is brief view of the erratic
pranks of Cassius M.Clay. 1t is hard
TO give him an exact location in the
species.-He is either a bigot, fan
attic, zealot, or a madman-and it is
hard to tell which, as all these charac-
ieristies are perceivable in his compost
ion. 1t is 10 be hoped he will not join
he Mexieans, as he is said to be dead
hot with a duelliSi's pistol.
