The Next Presidency.

Our readers will find in another column letter from
the distinguished senator, Gen. Rusk stating the consid
eratons which induce him 10 declare his preference for
his colleague Gen Houston, the candidate of the dem
ocrac party for the next presidency In publishing this
manifestation of particular feelings and views as we do
several others in this days Union, is hardly
for to repeat what we have SO often sad--tha they
indicate for the Washington Union only its firm and un-
changeabe neutrality These manifestations are useful
and important because they disclose the thoughts OF the
people, who the source OF all political power and
will enable those who will be charged with the repre-.
senaton of these thoughts select the candidate who
will combine, in his person, services position tai
ens and opinions, the most certain capacity to the
national democratic wish. In this point of view. such
manifestations may be compared to the units which are
employed in working arithmeiical problem-they are
the process by which arrive at the TRUTH and if mis-.
applied misunderstood produce satisfactory demon
straon. Not to msapply these unts-not TO confound
them with the object to be attained by them-is the duty
OF every friend of the democratic cause.
Our columns to-day also contain the resolutions OF the
Democratic Ward Committee of Philadelphia, and the
address of the Jackson Association of New Orleans,
which referred 10 yesterday, in one of which Mr.
Buchanan, of Pennsylvania, is enthusiastically named
for the highest office in the gift of the people, and in the
other Mr. Douglas of Illinois, in terms of equal admiration
and favor Oher localities have spoken and are preparing
to speak still more, in favor OF other individuals dslin-
guished by eminent service and identified with the great
principles and measures Of the democratic party Let il
be our pride that we have so many such men in our
ranks who placed far above the preudices which may
be engendered by the rivalry and personal hopes of Their
particular friends, looking with calmness upon the
process that is 10 determine the choice of their party and
who. like the old Roman, may defer to that choice il
il fall upon another, with sentiment of regret--re.
jocing that the people have relieved them Of the
OF the chief msgstracy and devoved them upon able
TO bear hem and see that the and lasting interests
OF the republic are not neglected.

Tn. :" nstitutionaIist and Republic, q Georgia.
As a set-of TO the il-tempered remarks which we
copied few days since from the Savannah Georgian, we
quote below those made by the above journal the
subject-showing that the spirit of violence and poscrp
ton is not likely receive the countenance of all those
democrats who opposed the views of the Washington
Union in the recent contest between Messrs Cobb and
Mcdonald. Indeed we shall be disappointed if, after
reflection, there be single real democrat in Georgia who
will not acknowledge the propriety of abandoning the
issues which created the sectional organizations of the
South. II this be not especially with the southern.
rights party, what was the meaning of the reorganization
meeting in Miedgeville in November last II that
meeting were anything but trick, public annun
ciaon that the party heretofore organized southern
rights party, must return TO the democratic platform.
We do not roorgdniSe thing which is already or
gdnized return to thing which we have never
left But it is not wish to expose the extraord-
nary logic OF the prescription with which we have
been menaced by the who are crying out in Geor
gia reorganization upon the very platform that we
have all the time defended. Oar only purpose is to
give to the "Constutionalst and Republic" the credit
which is due to il for the prompt in which
il disavows such gross injustice That journal knows
that we treated, from the beginning, the sectional
disturb the organization OF the democratic party Of
the Union Our language was, that those who went into
that controversy as democrats would come out OF il
such and we always maintained that permanent third
party could not be tolerated.

MoN HENRY CLAY.

We deeply regret that indisposition has
compelled the Hon. Henry Clay to resign
his seat in the Senate of the United States
for his stern patriotism and commanding
eloquence would be particularly seryiceable
during Che discussion of questions which are
likely TO arise in that body during the
present session.
\ We presume that Mr. Clay has taken
anal leave of public life His advanced age
and impaired health require that he should
seek the repose.of private life--and no man
will be followed into bis retirement with
greater respect or stronger personal attach
MENTION the part Of his fellow citizens than
Mr. Clay For about forty years hes has
stood prominent among the statesmen. ora
tors aud patriots of the couutry-and, al
though ho has never been elevated to the
Chat Magistracy Of the nation, he has had
more warmly devoted personal friends than
any other public man He has bad severe
trials in bis public career, having been sub
jectcd to the basest calumnies' and to the
most ungenerons treatment. The false ac-
cusation Of having voted for John Quincy
Adams as President, in consideration Of re-
ceiying the appointment of Secretary OF State,
operated for time adverse to his reputation;
but we do not suppose that there is, at the
present moment, single wellinfermed and
unpreiudiced individual in the nation, who
is not satisfied that be was innocent of the
alleged bargain He has been acquitted by
those upon whose testimony che charge was
said to have been made, and he stands be-
fore the American people exonerated from
