his faith in our principles, and the glorious stand
he has taken for truth, the right and humanity,
we now raise his name to our mast head az our

| A correspondent in the Cleveland Herald thus
speaks Of JOHN MCLEAN:
Who riH the Whigs nominate for President?
Having often been asked This question, | have
taken some pains TO find out the opinion of gem

of this party-becsuse he refused to remove
those tried servants whom he knew were honest
and capable
His opinion in favor of State rights. on the
slave question, can never be forgotten by the
free states. AnG the firm stand taken by him
in opposition TO the majority of the Court,
shows that kind of frmness which is so much
needed in our troublesome and Gisgraceful war
with Mexico.
The ability. impariiality and dignity with
which he filled the Post Office Department are
historical monuments which will stand when
stone ones shall have fallen to the ground. He
is " hig, and no one at all acquainted with
him will ask for information on this subject
And | predict that if the Wings will unani-
mousy unite on him, that he will certainly be
elected.

Gates the nomination of Henry Clay for Presi-

I "Rrssired, That as il is more than twenty
wears since any son of New England has been

which he threw himself into the cause, by op-

States, is an outrage for which both the old par

as neither of them, when in power, ever made
one earnest effort to abolish such an infamou

newspapers, at home, can exonerate them from
this blame, while they vote for the men who d'
