An EDIToR SUED FOR LIDEL.-The
Editorial Snnctum of our friend Harris,
of the Bratlleboro' Eagle on the 5lh

trance OF one of those harpy monsters,
Deputy Sherffs. With most specier-
like grimness and silence, a neatly-fold>
ed package, beeirt with scarlet tape, was
thrust into the hands Of the Editor.
Poor Harris, in the simplicity Of his
heart, mistook it for an elaborate dis,
sertailon upon some coulfoveried point
in political economy" and was doubtless
preparing some delicate mouthed COM
pliment for its dotng author. Judge OF

Henry Clay, Thomas II. Benton md John
NJ. Clayton have each, recently, spuken To-
the people of their respective States. MIR.
Clay's speech is, indeed, curiosity. After
having been the champion Uf Whiggery, as
it is, for nearly half century, in this speech,
he virtually condemns it TO The tomb of the
copulei, and raises his voice IN favor Of the
formation Of "Great Union Party" 10 be
composed Of Wings, Democrats, and every
body else who will Join the standard. Mr.. C.
acknowledges that the Democratic is pa
lriotic party, and assures his auditors that The
great work Of saving the Union was, in q
great degree, owing TO IFS exerlons. II is a
pity he had not made III is discovery earlier
If he had not been blinded by bis own pas
sions, he would still have belonged to that
party End had, long ere this, reached the
summit of his ambition. As il is, Mr., Clay
commences The orsanizalion of a new party
a. too late day 10 afford reasonable hope
that, thereby, his asrirations will be fulfilled.
Democrats will conclude that the party
which has, this lar, been the safeguard of The
Unlon-whch has cuntendcd successfully
against foes without and foes within, is still
capable of guiding The ship Of State clear Of
quicksands, and be content 10 marshall in
The future. as we'll as III the pist, under its
successful banner.
MIR. Clay need not, therefore, count upon
accessions 10 this new party. of which he is
10 be the head, from The Great Patriotic
Democratic Party Of this Union. The pro-
tectors tf,his Union until now, with the same
doctrine which they now hold, they will
march onward in The path marked oIi BY the
constitution, regardless OF the croakines OF
politicians, either moth or south, who seek
10 agitale merely for their own personal adj
vantage. We do moi allege that Mr.. Clay is
one Of these. We believe him patriot "a
man who really wishes good to his country ;
but, his anxiety 20 form new party. seems
to US 70 smack very much Of desire to reach
position which his own mistaken policy, a.
lone has deprived him until he is about to de !,
scend 10 The grave. II the language Of the
French Patriot, ut is too late .
Mr.. Benton's speech is one which will ia.
vorably compare with his best efforts II was
delivered in ST. Louis. His object is to ex,
plain and justify his course during the mo.
mentous sesi ion of Congress just closed. -
Ills v Indication Of himself in opposing the
doctrines of the Suulh when they come in
