Mr.. Clay ON the Austrian Cues
finn.

In another column we have given a synopsis
of Mr.. Clay's speech on the important question
before the Senate at the latest date, embraced
in the resolution of Gen. Cass, to withdraw all
public in~tercourse with Austria, on account of
her crueltieas to the Hungarians. It appears to
US that no one Of unprejudiced and comprehen-
siye mind, can fail to see. the truthfulness, the
business, and the craftsmanship, embraced in
the views and principles which the great orator
holds upon this important resolution OF the
Democratic leader, and we are sure his remarks
will be perused with deep interest byour read
ers. There is not an American heart that does
not sympathise with the brave Hungsarians in
their unsuccessful attempt to regain their na-
t~ionality, nor one which does not beat with the
feelings of detestation against the ignominlous
part which Russia played or the ~cruelties that
were permitted by Austria when Hungary was
at her feet. But, this is not a nation Of French
men. We are not guided in our public acts
by the impulse Of our feelings, swayed by our
passions or our prejudices, or lead from right ny
the promptings of an cyerwrought zeal in ia
vor of any principle Or any people. 1t has
been broadly asserted that Gen. Cass is again
looking to the Presidency, and hopes that this
resolution to withdraw diplomatic intercourse
with Austria, will stand out as the most prom
in.nt and most popular one, and one most hkeA
" to fall in with the popular sentiment OF the
masses. Mr.. Clay looks not in the direction
of such dim and undefnable horizon: he has
in view no such aelfsh and contemplate aims:
but holding up to his minds vision the spirit
and purity of our constitution, and the princi-
pies of our first great President, he takes a
bold and patriotic stand against the sympathies
and feelings Of the multitude, and with his
mighty voice fearlessly proclaims the RIGHT
and proves to his country that it is by that prin-
ciple alone she can hope to prosper. We may
condemn Austria with all our bitterness, but
it is not our part to sit in judgment upon her
acts or the acts Of any other nation: let that
government which has never erred, "throw the
first stone" Perfect as we are, do W. stand
in that attitude?
Mr.. Hale, the abolitionist, followed the SEN
ator from Kentucky in a speechSof great arro-
gance and assumption, which we must be ex-
cused from transferring, even in part, to our
columns; it not only supports the resolution
of the Senator from Michigan, but goes to a
length of absurdity which must have caused a
blush even to rise upon the redundant cheeks
Of the great defeated. Mr.. H. was not only
in favor Of teaching Austria her duty, but he
was in favor Of bringing before the bar of the
Senate the acts of every nation on she face Of
the earth, which had in any way been brutal
or oppressive towards another! OF the two,
we presume that Gen. Cass much preferred the
opposition of Mr.. Clay to the support Of his
particular friend, Mr.. Hale. 81 ass
