The Editor OF the +" Union'' cites some speeches
made by Mr.. CLAY, in 1927, while he was Secre-
tary of State, TO justify the proprety of Mr.. Secre-
tary BUcHANAN's speech to the Democratic assem-
blage in this city on Friday night last. Between
the two cases, however, there is very wide differ
ence. Mr.. CLAY was on visit TO his home in
Kentucky, where, and at one or two places in other
States on his route, he was complimented by his
friends with Public Dinners, OH which occasions he
very naturally and properly responded tothe sent-
ments of respect and affection with which he was
greeted. Had Mr.. Secretary BUCHANAN been al
his residence in Pennsylvania, and, enjoying the
hospitality of his friends, had made them speech,
it would have passed without animadversion-at
least from us. Besides, Mr.. CLAY made the
speeches referred to in vindicaton of his personal
honor against foul charge brought against him as
a public man-the charge of corrupt bargain 4"
with President ADAMS for the Office which he at
that time filled and neither Mr.. JEFFERSON nor
General HARRISON, in their condemnation of office
holders elec,oneering meant that man loses the

Gov. JOHNSTON received the votes of the I" Free

sALUTING THE WRONG FLAG.

The Washington Union of Tuesday morning
says:
As preparing for press, friends the Democa-
cy of Washington firing hundred guns, and holding
large and animated meeting in honor of Pennsylvania and
Ohio"
This was doing somewhat unexpected honor"
to US Wings in Pennsylvania. and to our brethren
in Ohio. .-..
The Democrats s,ormed the Wing fortress ONO,
bit they did NOT carry IL. The Wings still hold
il, from Governor down to Sergeant at Arms.
The Wings stormed the Democratic stronghold
PENNSYLVANIA but that is not all they carried IL,
and il is in full possession of hg officers and Wing
men, from Governor to doorkeeper.
What on earth, them were the democracy of
Washington firing two hundred guns" for
Why, any man with half an eye may see it is
but part of this same system Of claiming victory
amid the smoke and smarting Of defeat, in order TO
deceive and encourage their discounted forces to
summon strength for another battle.
False returns Of the damage done never served a
good purpose in any kind Of warfare. Ii they did,
Napoleon never would have been overthrown, and
Santa Anna never would have found himself unable
to recruit an army after the battles of Churubusco
and Molino del Rey.
But il seems that our opponents find deception
their most effective weapon, and they wiH despite
all we do, practise all sorts Of deception upon
their masses. All we can do now is TO put the
latter on their guard against their leaders.

THE WAY IT WAS DoSE.--Coal and iron (says
the Lancaster In,elgencer) have done the job for
Locoiocoism in Pennsylvania. II is settled, even
by the Democracy here, that it is poor business to
be bringing Goals from Pictou, or iron from Eng
land, when all parts Of our own country more or
less abound in them, and when the men employed
in bringing them TO market consume thousands Of
dollars worth Of home agricultural products. The
farmer, the miner, and the collier have all combined,
and there is PEACEFUL quiet, but very significant
revolution in Pennsylvania.

Wing candidates for President have uniformly run
ahead Of the State candidates. Gen. HARRISON 5
vote was Ear in advance Of the Wing vote in the
previous State elections. Mr.. Clay run ahead OF

TRrxAN SMITH is now the especial object of the
rrath of the party presses. His zeal, activity,
and efficiency in the cause of General TAYLOR make
him particularly obnoxious to the party in power.
We can only say that, in proportion to the abuse
poured upon him by the Locofoco organs, is he
honored and esteemed by the Wings. He is doing
his duty faithfully and honorably. He is seeking
no reward but the good Of his country.
