The Platform Of Henry CLAW.

The Keokuk Dispatch. Burlington
Gazette, and other sheets Of that iIk, are
accustomed 10 appeal 10 Union Wings.
TO National Wings. and 10 The admirers
of Henry Clay, TO unite with them in
sustaining the Nebraska and Kansas
bill, and the repea. of the Missouri
Compromise.
How dare these life long Locofoco vii
liners Of this noble patriot attempt thus
TO blacken his memory, and appeal to
his friends 10 sustain them in the sac
religious dissertation Of that compact
which his eloquence carried thrsugh the
Congress Of the Nation, 10 The reslora.
ton of the peace of the country. and to
the perpetual exclusion of Slavery from
that immense region of country pow
included in Kansas and Nebraska!--
The dying words OF Henry Clay, the
last grea. effect of his exalted patriotism,
bears glorious testimony against The ex.
tension Of human Slavery. And we
beseech all the patriots OF Iowa TO mark
well the following sentiments, which we
extract from his speech in the Senate, in
February, 1850. He said:
81 never can, and never will, and no
earthly power will make me vote to
spread Slavery over territory, where il
does not exist"
And again in the same speech:
II repeat ii, sir, Inever can and neue,
aciN, and no earthly power wW make
me cote directly or indirectly, to spread
Mavery ouer Territory ,ohere IL does
: not eaist. Neur mhiie reason holds
Iher seat in my brain--neUer aohiie nag
heart sends the rital fluid through mig
reins-NEVERr"
r. IN view Of these facts and declarations
of Henry Clay, let no American citizen
be so base as to invoke his authority il
behalf of opening up Nebraska and Kan
.sas 10 The South with their Slaves; and
especially lie. no man protesting himsel
a"Clay Whig," prostitute this proud
appellation by sustaining that iniamou:
fraud upon freedom Tie repeal Of the
Clay Compromise Of ls50.-keokuh
