mentioned for the Office of President. There
can be no doubt whatever that Mr.. Clay
Stands first in the affections of the wings OF
the United States; and should his life and

cast aside, with apparent contempt, BY the
Washington Republic, Which not only advo-
Gates the denomination Ct General Taylor,
but warns the wings "thal when they turn
lhei arms against Gen. Taylor, they reject
their only chance Of success in the contest of
1852" and asserts hat "wth the Kentucky
statesman as leader, we mus be beaten"
In fact, according to the Republic, The whg
party Of the United States is in deporable
CONDITION, having but one man General Tay-
lor upon whom they can rally with any pros.
pect of success. But we will let The Repub.
lie be heard, as what it says may be of some
interest TO large portion Of ihe people. We
quote the following paragraphs:
"That opposition to this administration can,
not fail to end in exaltng ihose whom the
wings stTove so hard TO overthrow, and whom
they succeeded in prosirating so signally,
does no; admit of doubt. Let any whig
tell US, provided This light is to be extinguish'
ed, in what quarter are we olonk for another?
Provided this standard.bearer be struck
down, not 5y the shot Of lhuse who opposed
him openly IN the ranks Of war, but By his
own friends, who is to bear the great Wig
banner in The approaching contest? Whose
arm is strong enough 10 uphold it, in the
midst Of The battle, wnen the Iegions of de-
mocraCy shall rally as one man 10 tear it
from ins grasp? III cannot he safely trus'
ted 10 him who has so often sustained the
glory OF his country's flag against overwheI.
ming odds OF his country's foes, ia what part
Of this vast republic shall we find a man ~
quail 10 the task? There is no such man in
existence. We say it openly, and VIC say il
boldly, the man does not breathe. Ii is
proper for wings 10 understand This fact al
once: TINT when they turn their arms agaiGsl
ZacharyTnyIor, they reject their only chance
Of success in the contest of 1852. They
| yield up a victory, which they may readily
gain, to their most invelerate adversaries--
10 those against whom the majority OF Them
have been warning for at least one half their
lives: they gain nothing but the qualification
Of punishiDg him for differing with them upon
single point; they lose all the fruits Of
their dear bought victory, and they lose them
without The slightest hope Of eve: retrieving
! lhem."
THIS settles the matIer--at least to The
satisfaction of,he editor of The Republic; but
we doubt whether it will prove equally sat
isiactory to others. Nor do we think lhat
the editor pursues lndlcicus course in en-,
deaVoring to elevate Gen. Taylor oy detrnc
ting from the merits of Mr.. Clay; for the lat
ter has friends who will support no man wbc
base his claims To confidence On The ALLEGED
dement's Of Mr. Clay. If The object be tc
destroy Mr.. Clay, in order 20 continue Gen
Taylor in power, it will signnly fail! for the
bare attempt will create hundred opponents
where il will make one friend There can
be NO objection TO the Republics enamina
and supporting Gen. Taylor for reelection;
but lis reflections on Mr.. Clay, are uncalod
for and unjuslifable. From the position that
paper holds, its opinions will be received as
the sentiments Of The President: and, in as,
suming hostile attitude towards Mr. Clay.
will be taken for granted tha; it expresses
the feelings Of Gen. Taylor; and thus its Of
ficiousness aud impertinence, instead Of
strengthening its candidate, will produce a
schism that must inevitably destroy him.
We have seen, for some time past, dispo
siion manifested in that paper TO denounce
Mr., Clay: but for what Ieason we were at
loss to conjecture, until VIC read the Republic
Of yesterday. II is now manifest that it i:
feared that Mr.. CIny's patriotic course in The
Senate may present him too prominently be-
fore the American people.
