cenain. Now once more, by that fatality
which attends you, yo't come out In your
Gazette letter, and dsclaim any sympathy

little inconsistency in this, inasmuch rs YOU
bad always ayowed just the opposite doc
ltrine but as you wrote TO me " go on good
Cdssius," | thought at last oil things would
come oni right. This, however, was small
affair between you and me, and our abolition
friends. But all at once you came out IN
lyour Alabama letter; when you would "not
reject a permanent acquisition q fterritory on
account ofa temporary institation" This
was different affair. II lay at the founda-
ton Of the whole contest. You schanged
'front.'" The wings Of the North were dis.
eusied They had nothing left TO contend
for. The battle was l,st. We felt our
couniry's wounds in your person. We paid
your debls, we condoled with you in your
retirement once more, and raised monuments
to your memory! Once more the excesses
ofthe Democratic party began 10 exhibit
themselves. The unconstitutional aDnes a.

by the war our whig generals reaped the
glory. The success Of our party was Ger.
tain. The public, with a unanimiiy never
before seen in this county, looked TO one
man; man who growing too great for the
powers at Washington, was left TO perish
with handful of men before twenty thous-
and troops in the enemy's country. But

Of party, nor the President, can cause him
or bis friends to ssurenderm The honest
old soldier was generous enough 10 give a
parting compliment TO your name, by saying
he would have preferred you 10 himself TO
lead us once more 10 the battle. You have
taken him at his word Immediately your
friends of the "secrct Circular" under the
preence of being "ihe friends Of General
Taylor" stab him TO the vitals. Then, sharp
sighted patriots found out that General 'Tay-

I, is true that this is in you DEEr IyGaATr-

Henry Clay SPARE an ENEMY or FRIEND?
| congratulate you upon your determination
at last to denounce tie Native American
party, to whom you wrote encouraging let

were kind enough TO suppress; you can do
so with mpunity! The Native American
party is dead! But whether the memory OF
Irish and other foreigners will be as easy IN
forgetting wrong as you are in remember
ing favor, remains to be seon Space com
peIs me 10 pass over the long roll Of your
selfadvocacy, and confne myself to two
specifications. You seem toAhink that Ohio

states but you aud that New York would

on ANY other candidate
Ohio went for you, by the Western Re-
