Henry clay, during the last twenty-five years.
When that great statesman, natural orator, and
original American democrat, dyed in the wool, we
might say, first became a candidate for the Pres-
dency, his chances were undoubtedly as good as
those OF any other man, in his day The mutabii-
ties of political agitation threw him twenty years
ago into the hands of that party, which, after as
Stunning various Names has taken a last the cog
nomen Of wing for lts peculiar title.
That party, in its opinions and sentiments, has
generally been under the influence of that portion
OF the press which has sprung up and exists in a
few of our great commercial cities. These Jour
mails have been, for the last quarter of century,
more the organs Of the British government than
of the American people. This portion of the
American press, upon all occasions IN which
British interests are concerned, has chiefly taken
sides with that government in opposition to our
own. And even at this day, when the question Of
liberty or tyranny is coming rapidly to an issue in
Europe, this same class of journals follows IN the
wake OF the London Times, and other journals, IN
defaming, belying, and disappearing the move.
ments as well of the French revolution,
as the efforts also of the people in every other
quarter OF the world, to establish reform, to
renovate their governments, to overtum the
kIngy power, and TO establish institutions similar
to those of the United States. The defeat OF
Henry Clay, Tor the last twenty years. IN his aspi-
ratlons for The Presidency, has manly sprung
from These journals, and this journalism, from the
absence of all sympathy on the part of the great
body OF the American people with the ideas of
such journals, and from the influence which these
same newspapers have had upon the sentiments of
the wing party. The only exception to this state
Of things took place in ls4s, when General Hari-
