platform of Kno1e .Aotiiagism, under The most
solemn professions and pledges to put down the
cof7upfions of old parties, it prousd itself the
most corrupt, infamous, and ignorant Legisla-
tive body that ever assembled in this or any
other State in the Union, declaration almost
universally admitted To prone the assertion,
it is unnecessary to 90 beyond the Journals OF
the Assembly and the Press which SO zealously
labored to bring this rotten combination into
existence. 1hcir oaen erpositioas of the dirty
aaeans resorted 10 10 an attempt to elect q 5.
Senator more than expmpIifes what we have
said on this point. But what has this Legislature
done, which so loudly promised to reform not

itselfup as the especial gHafdiaas Of Religion,
by which plank in its 'sCOPPERHEAD"
platform it cajoled into IFS support great
many professed Ministers of the Gospel, and a
number Of Journals sailing under the sarb of

the first place it has filled the State with Shin

Acts OF ali manner ot irresponsible corporations

Henry Clay VS.. NnOW-NOthingiSm.

However widely tie American people may
have differed in opinion upon the soundness and
propriety Of Henry Clay's political teaching,
there was no question among them as to his lot-
tv patriotism, and love for his country's instttI-
tons. The proiractvd struggle for political
mastery, between him and the undaunted hero
Of New Orleans, created feeling of partizan
hostility among our coonrvmen, unparalleled
in our history yet, fierce as it was, bitter and
decided as were the hostilities then engendered,
no one now doubts the patriotism and public
virtue Of either leader And, although expert
ence has demonstrated the truth of the general
policy Of Jackson's administrations no one Sus-
poets the motives which prompted the soaring
spirit Of the great Kpntuckian, in his terrible
warfare against Jackson's policy.
Jackson and Clay were both honest, and fit
to be- leaders both We're fearless in their advo-
cacy Of their principles They challenged pub
tic scrutiny, and relied solely upon popular
investigation and calm reflection for vindica-
ton Of their motives and policy. This was a
snhlime spectacle in a free, popular government:
each relied for triumph upon the intelligence of
the people, observing the constitution as The bull
wark OF their hopes. That sacred instrument
was the sheet anchor of each and although
different laes of denarkation marked their con-
structon of some Of lis powers, neither ever
outraged tie liberal spirit which it brrathes, or
violated lis inIunctions of personal and religious
equality. The right fevery man to kneel and
worship God when and where Ire choseS, was
not questioned neither was the accident OF a
mans birth made The standard of political

Unlted States, in 1892, we iind the following
extract, To which we invite attention. it is in
strange contrast 10 the proscriptve dogmas put
forth at shr present time, and that too by men
who pretend to revere the teachings Of The Illus
