HENRY CLAY AND THE NOMINATION OF GEN.
TAYr8E-The N. Y. Times copies from a
forthcoming volume of the private correspOn-
dence of Henry Clay, a large number Of let
tiers written by the grelt statesman of Ken
lucky, and comments on them thus.
-Ieiate ste-the nomination of Gen. Tay-
Ior Tor the Presidency, to his election, admin
istration and death, to the subsequent adop-
ton OF the Compromise Measures and to move
nfents in this city towards the nomination of
Mr.. Clay in 1852. There can be no doubt,
judging from these letters, that Mr.. Clay was
deeply disappointed and chagrined at theno
inatien Of General TayloT-and chat this dig
appointment was not soteneds by the letters
in which Gen. Taylor sought 10 relieve him
self from any suspicion Of having taken part
in any movement hostile to the elevation of
MIR. Clay. But it is also apparent that he did
notsufer this personal chagrin to interfere in
the slightest degree with the discharge of his
public duties, to swerye him hairs breadth
from the political course which his judgment
marked out. This disclosure of his private
feelings, under circumstances we'll calculated
to try his temper and test his patriotism, can
not faIl to strengthen the conviction. that a
hIgh-minded devotion to the public good was
pre-eminently theguide of his public career.
F. 0(-Jamss c., Forsyth, before Ascending
for Europe, after delrauding his creditors and
committing torgeries, made an assignment of
his real aI>i personal estate, valued at S3OOOO
or $4,000, to his brother, giving preferences
to his father, brother, and 0 her relatives. It
is just proved in the Greene County Supreme
Court that he took away with him in gold at
least $4,000, The monies he had drawn
from various banks within a short time prior
to his tight, on forged paper, amounted to
about $4,000 as it appeared on this trial.
L his suit was brought to set aside the assign
ment, on the ground that it was made with
intent TO defraud its creditors. The Jury after
a short absence, found for the plaintiff, thus
declaring the assignment fraudulent and void.
Mr. Forsyth, we are sorry to say, was a cam
didate for Secretary of State, the year before
he tied. tie was one of the political gamblers
OF the State Capital, and trained in the very
worst school of New York State Politics

He has classified them, and conducts all his
business according to strict mathematical rules,
from which he never swerves. When the rotten
spots begin to appear. then comes another rigid
classification, which runs into the little monu-
ments already treated Of The monuments, if
not sold, are taken down at night and rebuilt
in the morning--the more rotten fruit, after
having finished its monumental career, being
required to do pyramid service for several days
more. at the end Of which time, if nobody buys,
it is thrown stoicaly into the street by its pre-
siding genius.
But we must not let our theme run of with
us. The sum total of our remarks is, that New
Orleans is a great place for fruit at the present
time, and that our fruiterers, as class, are
&c not to be sneezed at."

SENATOR WILSON OF MASSACHUSETTS,.

This individual is an Abolitionist, yet he
supports himself by the profits of slave labor
he denounoes the institutions Of the South, vet
pockets every dollar Of slave earned money he
can lay his avarieious hands upon! There is
no cause for special wonderment in this for
the philanthropy Of Abolitonists is never allowed
to interfere with their pockets.
The Richmond Dispatch, of late date,
thought fit to contrast the precepts of the Sena-
tor with his practices The result arrived at
was very unfavorable to the sincerity and hon
esty Of that parsonage. u showed him to be a
"whited sepulchre" of the whitest sort fair
outside but full of moral rottenness within.
Whereupon his Abolition friends became excited
and ventured upon q defence The New York
Tribune-the great Shanghai among the Abo
lition organs Of the North--enters the ring and
attempts vindioation But it was q lame
affair. The facts were SO plain and palpable
that the effrontery Of the Tribune was not equal
to the occasion. For once truth was too much
for fanaticism and unscrupulousness Referring
to the Tribune's article, the Dispatch scathingly
retorts:

unanimously adopted
Whereas The present locality in the city of New Or

which might be agreed upon for storage and
delivery soon would very popular the planter
