HENRY CLAY IN THE FIELp.-The lightning
from heaven, coming by way of Cincinnati, in
forms US that Henry Clay will speak at Lexing-
ton, Kentucky, on Saturday the 18th inst, upon
the Mexican war, its authors and objects. This
is most important movement, and may be con-
sidered as his speech or message upon the Next
can war. 1t may be regarded as message to
the coming Congress, giving the position of Mr..
Clay, and submitted to the people. We consider
Mr., Clay as now in the field; as coming out in
his own colors and manfully showing his cards.
We have already had Mr. Van Buren, out, giving
us that letter, in his roundabout, sneaking way,
with his usual sly and double faced views
Other distinguished men will give their views;
and when Congress meets, no doubt the general
debates will be of the highest interest and mag
nitude, involving as they will, all the issues up
on the Mexican war, and the great political
questions of the day

The LATE ELECTION. shows the
folly OF the political parties of the day shouting
victory, more than the results of this election,
taken dispassionately in the bulk. Not long ago
the democrats were triumphing over Pennsyl-
vania, and now the wings are exulting in the
same manner over New York, while the demo-
Gratis are Boosting of another victory in Michi-
gan. What is the cause of all these various re-
suits, in almost similar States The real truth
of the matter is, that in neither one nor the
other of these States, more than fraction of the
great bulk polled; 1t was nothing but little petty
State question which was before the people. In
Pennsylvania the wings stayed away from the
polls in New York the democrats quarrelled
among themselves, and stayed away In Michi-
gan the wings again stayed away. But in the
approaching Presidential election, things will be
changed. When that great and important ques-
ton shall come up, involving the opinion ofthe
people on the Mexican war, then we doubt not 4,
greater vote will be polled than ever was polled
in the whole civilized world; and that vote will
determine interests of the greatest magnitude
and Importance, not only in this country, but
throughout the civilized world, extending even
its effects to the most distant ages
