0<T Mr.. Clayton. the whjg leader in the U. S.

revelation and the ;ories-5e;weon tho Republi-
cans and the FedoTaIists-domoosacya and modern

has another reason for proGering Taylor 70 Cass.
!. is that the latter stands pledged to carry GU;
democratic measures, Wills: ruy Tor Is pledged to
nothing save his own L" honest convictions" His
convictions amount TO nothing, for he admits, in
his letter to Edward DeIoney, his entire ignorance
on the grea: political questions of the day. Mr.
Clayton prefers following an jgaas fa!aus, who is
yet to create his political doctrines. We prefer
following the man who owes his position TO the
existing political doctrines. which have carried our
country to tbeacmo Of prosperity.
