Henry CIay-the Wigs.

We have been charged with dishonesty in attempt
ing to deceive the people in relation to Henry Clays
being nominated for the next Presidency lthas been
our object thus far, and trust it will beto warn
the people of approaching DANGER that they may be-
prepared for it. That the leaders of the Wing party
anticipate renominatne Henry Clay for the next Pres
idency is as certain os amy iture event can be, and
nothing but an increased Liberty vote, or an out-spo-
ken and determined opposition to the scheme by the
consistent friends of freedom, can prevent it. We
wish the Wings to fairly understand that if they nom
mate him or any other STAKEHOLDER orabeor of slavery
they can expect no help from the Liberty party; they
get defeated again, they must bear the shame and
guilt, without attempting to fasten them on u.s. We
gave them fair warning in 1914 that no true Liberty
man would vote for Clay or any of his clique They
supposed we should be swerved from our course but
they found us true to pledge, and perhaps they
ill lveIn Wisdom from tne past and IN future believe
what we say.
In proof Of what we have said of the course to be
pursued by the wre-workers of the wing party we
give some extracts from the proceedings of late
Grand Celebration in N Y, of Mr. Cay's birth day.
We copy from the N. Y. Tribune:

OF the lofty character, eminent ability and uncqualed
public services Of Henry Clay, his inlqutous defeat in
I644 and the disasters thereby entaed the coun-
try. Mr. White declared that, i'll regard to the next
Presidential Election, his own purpose to con-
suit Duty only, eschewing Policy and Expedicncy,-
to ask not who can be elected but who ought to be,

and all but unanimous cheers.) Mr.. w. continued to
speak for time in Remuneration of "that sneaking
word policy" and the idea it represented concluding
with declaration that, if Henry Clay should be alive

peals, knowing no locality but Ashland no man but
