MR.. CLAY A CANDIDATE.

We have looked in vain for the card which,
according to the Republican and other Taylor or
cans. MIR. Clay was 10 publish, ,eithdrarinS IN
fapor of General Taylor for the Presidency! IL
was all a dIeam-or a "no-party" trick The
"magnelisln" of Mr.. Clay is working lis ELECT
and we now have the admission OF the editor Oh
the New York Mirror (the first paper in The En-
pire S ale which raised the Taylor Flag,) that
MIR. Clay will be candidate before the wing
National Convention. Writing from Washing
ton on the 10 JAM he says "The chques OF
the Tribune and the InhiiSencer have surrounded
Mr. Clay, and the result probably will be that he
will consent 10 90 into the Convention, Tor The
fourth time, as candidate Tor the Presidency .
The 'old coon is TO be skinned once more, and
those who persist in this course deserve 10 be In
licted for cruelty 10 animals
The indications now are, that MIR. Clay will
suffer his name 10 be used; that his friends will
| carry him into The Convention aud then "d!op
him" That The latter event is probable, no one
can believe II Mr.. Clay comes before The Con-
venion OF which there seems 10 be no doubt
he will assuredy receive the nomination.
Hence the alarm Of the Wing Taylor "no party
organs They will yet find the great kentnck'
ian 10 hang around their necks like "the old man
OF The mountain" II is curious problem 10
know whether they will rebel against such de-
ciscn of the Wing National Convention. We
shall lay before our readers some striking revela'

were greeted with enthusiasm by The company
We cannot venture to sketch from memory The
remarks of either OF The gentlemen. We should
do them injustice were we TO attempt IT, we
may say, however in regard 10 each oil them,
that difficult as it is 10 speak OF ones sell win
out an appearance Of egotisn, their remarks
were characterized in this respect by admirable
taste. No one needed to be told Of the deeds
of galIanlry performed by the distinguished
military guests, and which have made their
names HISTORICAL; consequently, while they spoke
impressively and cluquently oil the daring EXPLOITS
OF their comrades both TN The Monterey frontier
and in the valley OF Mexico, each OF them SIN
diously avoided all allusion, except when il be-
came indispensable, and then only incidentally,
10 his own participation in those exploits. Co.
pies of these addresses will, we hope, be procured
from the speakers, and embodied in the published
proceedings.
The spacious Dining Saloon OF the Exchange
was decorated with appropriate Masonic en-
bemS, and al suitable intervals The company was
favored with excellent music by the Band attach
ed TO Captain DimmOck's Public Guard, whose
services had been secured tor The occasion.

time were there more than 46, all Democrats
but four. The rest OF the Wings, (exccpl The
Wing Delegation from 81. Landry, which had moi
arrived in the eily) was in the city and in The
Stale House nord, but would not form quorum,
lest Democratic Speaker might he elected
The Democrats continued in session, and in vain
sent for he seeding Whigs-bui they obsti.
ra;ely and taciously held out, violated their
solemn obligations, and dtfeaed the organiza-
ton Of the House This is rol the first lime
that The "law and order" Wing parry has fac
