The Pennsylvania Act PROVIDES that no
save shall be sold out of the State. and then
hxes the date of Emancipation /: and the Con-
s'iluilon further secured equal political rights
to these slaves when freed in Pennsylvania.
Henry Clay gives Shareholders ten wears
lime, and full notice that they may sell their
saves out OF the State into perpetual slavery.
The ignorance is exhibited in the fifteenth
paragraph, where he says I" n some of
.nese Tree States the penal Legislation against
we people OF color is quite as severe, if not
harsher than some of the slave S,aIes."-

vision Of justice will fit thro' the mortal
agonies Of Henry Clay. His frame will not
rest in the grave, if the neighboring sod con-
talns the remains of a black man; his soul
will find no peace in Heaven, if therein
walks the redeemed, the Disseminated man
Of color. The injuries, which through a
long and e%ventful life, he has heaped upon
eolored Americans, have corroded and en-
FILTERED his own spirit towards them in the
last degree-it is part and parcel with every
fibre Of his being. So in many paragraphs

stored his political and moral course, he has
been consistent only in colorphobIa I; and of
all the messengers sent TO buffet the black

Ter thought them dictated by friendship Tor
Clay; but it is that kind of friendship with
which the Western statesman has been too
abundautly cursed friendship degenerated
into adhesiveness, a physical, not a neral
quality. If Horace Greeley, or any other
man expects to resuscitate the influence once
welded over The masses by Henry Clay, he
should begin by being JaiLLful to him. He
should rouse the old boss from his Rip

in a positive and progressive age; the Old
