MIR. CLAY's POSITION.

The resolutions, alluded TO last week, are Civ
en- below. They are in themselves very grand
speech they speak plainly, forcibly, eloquenlly,
and cannot fail of having great effect upon pub
lie sentiment. Many Wing press, hitherto ill.,
disposed to sustain Mr.. Clay or any Southern
man in the next campaign, has hailed Mr.. Clays
declarations as settlement of the Presidential
question. OF this class is the Albany Evening
Journal and perhaps we may add the Boston
Whig-a paper which occupies very strong anti
slavery ground. We are happy TO see Mr.. Clay
take this stand, be he candidate for the Presi-
dency, or be he moi. We think it is an indica-
ton that Northern and Southern Wings can
stand together on high and noble principles an
indication Of union, in which they can assuredly
triumph with any good man in the field for the
| Presidency.

i @M. Gay'ssedorss to conciliate the
abolition wing Of the whig party and win
them to his support is certainly one Of the
most shallow tricks Of that great political
iuggler, and is his last bid for the
Presidency; yet it takes with those pa
pers who would go him without why or
whersfoHe." What, Henry Clay an abo-
litionist, sympathizing with the oppressed
and down frodden sons Of Afric, and dep
recating the existence of the institution Of
slayery?--he who once declared that if
the southerners could not have black slaves,
they would have white ones, for they could
not black their own boots, and who has all
his life been slave holder and an adyo-
cate and apologist Of slavery! What act
of h is whole life has shown hin, sincere in
his declara ton at the Lexington meeting?
Living in slayelState-partaking Of the
blessings y the Misunderstanding o
p over and influence in his own State al
most supreme, he might have done much
to do away with slavery; but under the
circumstances, the declaration has not even
the semblance Of sincerity. The artiice
is too shallow for the renowned s'Sage Of
Ashland;" It would hardly do credit to one
of our intrieguin 6 whig politicians of the
Western Reserve. ss=- s..
