Rs- Some two or three weeks since, we stated
on the authority of Washington Correspondent,
that Henry Clay was certainly in favor of General
Cass for the Presidency--that he preferred him to
any other man. Soon after the appearance of this
statement, it was contradicted by several CORES
pondents. The writer replies as follows, and he
appears to speak ''by authority
81 notice that some of the papers seem to doubt
my statement in regard to Mr.. Clay having ex-
pressed preference for Gen. Cass for President
in 1859 1 can only say that my statement is IN
doubtedly true, despite all contradiction. My au-
thority is undoubted it comes direct, and may be
implicitly relied upon to the oery letter. Not only
has Mr.. Clay expressed his preference for Gen
Cass over any other man, but, should he die be
fore that election, bis views will be given to the

that the American people would elevate Gen Gas:

The tariff movement in Congress does not go
down, in spite Of its special pleading Of It's outside
advocates We inserted the other day, the com
mentary of the New York Post on the subject
we subjoin another from the South side (Fa.)
Democrat.
ANOTHER Assault UPON THE SoUrH.-The
Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Sun !;
explaining Senator James project for revising the
tariff of 46, says:
HE proposes simply to discriminate between
high priced and low priced articles, entering into
general consumption. The duty on the high pric-
ed article is to be increased, and that on the low
priced article is to be diminished. By this means
the heaviest burthen will fall on the rich-the con
sumers dfthe costly articles; while the tax the
poor, the consumer Of the low priced article will
be essentially reduced"
Now this sounds very plausibe-to diminish The
duty upon articles consumed by the poor, and &c
increase the tax Of the rich But the pre-
tence is utterly hollow, and has sort or conneX-
ion with Senator James's real object, The facto-
ties of the South manufacture 'low priced articles
at so small cost that they have almost monopo-
lied the manufacture of the coarser cottons, con
filming the North to the finer and more costly fab
RIGS. Now Senator James project proposes tC
diminish the protection to Southern factories, and
to increase the protection to Northern factories.-
This is what it is in substance, and Whatit Inten
ded to be. We have no objection to general de
crease of duties, but we are opposed to such de
crease as will benefit the North and njure the
Soutb.

Hunter T. s, Senator for six years from the 4th
of March, 1858. The vote stood for Mr.. Hunter
1876; scattering 63. This is distinguished COM
pliment, and one as richly merited as it was warm
ly and generously bestowed.
Mr. Hunter is at once a scholar, statesman and
gentleman. Upon all important questions he has
shown himself able and dignifed debater,
while his labors in Committee have not been ex-
ceeded by any member of the Senate. Virginia
is honoring herself in giving her confidence to
such a man.

Referring to the result of these and the other
trials, the Southern Democrat makes the follow
ing pithy observations:
/ FINALTY OF THE CoMPRoNIsE.-The Christiana
rioters were acquitted of treason by the federal
court in Philadelphia. We learn now that the
grand jury of Lancaster county, Pa, has refused
10 indct them for violation of the laws of the
State. Thus they escape all punishment We
think the fnolHy of the compromise is pretty we'll

Syracuse riot and the murder of Gorsuch, we
suspect nobody will attempt to test its oalidiy.

every means in bis power to secure an imme

bis slaves had been taken upon n writ Of

There died lately in lower County Of Vir-

ted by bis master and was under our law one
oftkose persons who was permitted to remain
in Virginia. His master lad with his liberty
loft him respectable property, and this man
by industry accumulated an estate of S25, 600.
He had purchased bis wife, who was slave J;
and his children we're therefore bis own prop
erty as well as bis wife
Falling into bad health he went to Phila-
delphi sometime during this last summo. for
medical advice, but learning from ina best
physicians that his h.ealtl; was worse than he
thought, ard th.t he could not live, be wrote
to arc.ative of bis old master to comc on for
MIN, which this gentleman did aad stayed
with him. and brought him back to Virginia
at his request. He died shortly after bis re-
turn, not long since; and by bis last will left
all his estate to this gentleman, as weH as
his aoife and children, who are thus the
slaves of his friend trusting of course, that
he would care for them, and provide for them.
Here was an intelligent, wealthy man, who
knew the condition Of colored people in the
Northern States, that preferred to leave bis
wife and children and all his property to
white man, to sending them out of the State,
to live as free persons with fine estate.
These are notorious and recorded facts and
can be proved if denied and there are many
such occurrences among our colored people
which might be made public, to put to shame
the exaggerated ictions Of Mrs. Stowe aud her
adherants, il there was any possibility for
substituting in the Northern mind fact, for
feetion--reason for imagiuation--an and Charity
in the place Of sectional prejudice.
