though candor requires that we shall add that, ad-
vised as we are at present, General Scott cannot
receive as hearty support and as heavy vote as

Wing cause. which they sincerely cherish as OF
infinitely more Importance than the qualification
Of any personal predictions.
When two or more gentlemen Of distinction in
the service of the country spoken of in conncx-
ion with the Presidency, it is but natural that diff
ferenccs Of opinion shall exist to their relative
eligibility. But, in expressing preference for one
CT them, there il no why hostility should be
expressed toward the others. We regret to see in
soine quarters that Wings, not satisted with ex-
pressing their preferences, take occasion to con
meet Herewith incorporate opposition toother gen
temen. This ought to be avoided by all means
The present condition Of the Democratic party torn
and split into fragments by the too eager advocacy
Of personal predictions, ought to warn all Wings
against committing similar blunder. Let the
Wings remain united, aud transcendent victory
will crown the efforts Of the party in November.

pied from the New York Journal of Cbmmsrcs In
relation 10 certain drafts Of Government officers
which had not been paid on presentation, owing 10
the appropriations for the dfere tine In be-
ing exhausted.
In that article most unmeritcd ccnsurc il csst
upon General Jesup, the efficient chief Of the
QuarterDastcr's Department, as will be seen from
a brief statement Of the facte in relation 10 the draft
Of 900. referred TO in his letter. On the 10Th
of February General Jcsup teegra phed that the
appropriation for the Quartermastcr's Department
was exhausted, and that no more drafts should be
made; but the wires being broken, this dcepstch
was mailed ut Louisville, and did not reach this
city until the Goth. On the 2lst Of February drew
for 8 900, with the understanding that, If the
appropriation had run out, the draft should lay
over, and no money be advanced upon it.
From this 10 will be seen that no ccnsurc what
ever can be attached TO the chief Of the Quarter
masters Department for the non payment Of my
draft; but, on the contrary, that he took steps to
give notice that no drafts could be met, which no.
ticc would have been received in time had not the
means Of communication becn interrupted.

From the New York cypress.
Mr.. Clay,s Letter.

OF March 8, 1852, expressing his preferences OF
Mr.. FILLMORE for President, has subjected him to
good deal of abuse and animadyersion from
certain class Of Wings. The Rochester Democrat,
the Washington correspondent OF the Tribune, and
others, seem to be particularly annoyed by the
appearance Of this letter. II really seems strange
to us that any press or any individual should OBJ
jcct to an honest expression Of opinion from any
body as to his preferences for the Presidency.
The Boston Adveytise; calls it "Mr Clay election
ecring;" and the Washington correspondent of
the Courier regrets that Mr.. Clay should have done
such a thing. What thing? Answer a SANDER
which has been circulated from the ulf OF Mexico
to Lake Erie and in Wing presses too wit bout de-
NAL, which SANDER declared that he had avowed
preference for General Cass. But Mr.. Clay went
further, and said he preferred MIR. Fillmore
above any other candidate, and that he had
expressed that preference before ne left home in
Novembcr-that he entertained it now, and he
gives his reasons for tanning these views. And
who is it who complains of Mr. Clay for this frank
avowal of his opinions? Who but presses and per.
sons that are the warm and jealous, and we doubt
not honest, advocates for the nomination of Daniel
Webster or General Scott! MIR. Clay--an old sol
der of forty fifty years serviceis to have his
mouth sealed, and his rights questioned. even in
the matter of saying who he prefers for President
while all others are privileged to think, say, and do
just what they please. Mr.. Clay is aged, and in
firm in health. He is physically unable to mingle
in the stern stres of party warfare or even to take
part in the noble conflicts in the Senate. w here
the public service would call him IL he were able to
leave his sick chamber. He desires rather the
kindly influences Of quiet, peace, and good will
among men, than to mingle in the bitter waters
of personal party warfare. But Els mind is "a
unclouded, and his heart warm, and his wishes
for hs country's welfare as fervent ever. He
neither forgets friends nor country. Every thing
that ranspircs in the gSeat world without intcrests
him, and from his retreat he looks abroad with
deep interest upon the public men in office, and
upon the questions which agitatc the country. 1t
is now made almost crime in him that his sense
both Of public and private duty as a Senator in
Congrcss-for he still rctains the commission of his
gallant state-should have prompted him to pro
nouncc Willard Fillmore the fttest man, under all
the circumstances of the case, to be nominated for
the Presidency. The attacks ungenerous and
unworthy Of any just-minded Wing in the coun
try. II Mr.. Clay has not the right to express his
preferences for the Presidency, who has; and if
he cannot give his reasons for such preferences
reasons, the force of which is TO be weighed by
every man who reads, and which must, therefore,
rest upon their merits alone, without ofence-who
