We scarcely ever take up Locofoco paper,
nowadays that we do not find some fulsome
tiattery of this great statesman, accompanied by
the most lugubrious wailings over the ingrati-
tadc Of the Wing Party in refusing to nominate
him for the Presidency. Now we happen to
be among the number of Mr.. Clay s friends who
earnestly desired his nomination we shall new
or cease to regret the action Of the National
Convention in this behalf, for we believe he
could have been elected We would therefore
gladly mingle our tears with those of our Dem
ocratic friends, could we believe them sincere !;
but we cannot SO readily forget the vile and
infamous SANDERS, which so late as 1874
were sown broadcast through the land by the
Locofoco press, and of which he was the deyo-
ted victim. What strange moralists these Dem
ocratic leaders are to be sure, when they can
pour forth column after column Of pathetic Gu
logium upon the character of a gambler, sabbath
breaker and duclist! The real friends of Henry
Clay, cannot hesitate for a moment in their
choice between the nominee of Wing Nation
al Convention, and the leader of the spols party
The Clay Wings are the true Wigs of the
country and they will always be found in the
ranks Of the opponents Of Executive dictation.
