HENRY CLAWS SON ON THE CHARGE OF BAR
.a#.M GAIN AND CORRUPTION.

In the of the late speech of James b. Clay
Of Henry Clay at democratic meeting Mays
Vile, Kentucky he made the following conclusive vind
cation Of Mr. Buchanan against the charge of having done
injustice his father in regard to the old bargainand
corruption affair:
have fully and carefully studied the whole history Of
bargain intrigue SANDER with the express purpose

Mr. Buchanan and the result Of my research has BEEN that
honest man. bound to acquit him of having had
part in the original sanders having done father
any wrong, when he summoned before the public
witness against him. am bound to acquit him upon the
testimony of the very person whom he Is said have
wronged and sandered and however little partisan editors
and partisan the evidence OF
himself it is abundanty sufficient for me, his The
charge of bargain and intrigue first made Mr. Kreme
anonymous letter. subsequently reiterated BY Carter
Beverley in his celebrated Fayetteville letter. and finally
asserted by General Jackson who assumed the responsibility
of it, and prove its truth summoned Mr. Buchanan before
the public bis only witness. Mr. buchanan promptly
sponded to the call for his testimony Did he sustain Mr.
Kremer Carter Beverley and General Jacksonthe last
whom had summoned him On the contrary, his evidence
clear and distinct and fully exculpated Mr. Clay from
the charges made against him. So Mr. Clay regarded it
himself and he, the person accused testified publicly and
privately that he considered Mr. Buchanan had him
wrong" ...
After quoting from his fathers public and private letters
Mr.. Clay proceeded:
Thus, feow-citizens, have the private and public
opinion Of my father respecting the testimony of Mr.
chanan upon the charge OF bargain and intrigue know
that my father would not have expressed opinions

Buchanan, and expressed himself privately publicly

ton Although sort Of doubt is expressed as to Ere

bow The Herald bases its hopes Of the preservation Of
the Union upon the false idea frequently advanced by
the Tribune and Times that the non-slayeowners in the
South sympahize with the republicans Of the North and
hence that upon the question of disunon growing out Of
the triumph of republicanism, the southern uonsaye
would take the side of the republicans overpowe
by their superior numerical strength the sayeowne and
thus the Union from disruption. Such assumptions
may deceive republicans for aught know but if that
is all the reliance the preservation of the Union the
question is end We have stated several times and
now repeat that the non-slaveowners in the South
sympathze cordially with the slave in their anag
onsm to repubcarsm and whenever the question of sub
hitting the rule Of sectionasm is raised the northern

in the South will find that they have been grossly imposed

southern State and throug the entire population,

that the Union is in danger just in proportion to the dan
ger of the of the republican party The southern
feeling is not in favor of disunon but it looks to

ANOTHER VICTIM OF SECTIONAL DEspoTIsM

ANOIHEk NlCllM VI SEOIlONAL DESfoIlSM
The republican majority of the House of Representatives
gutted their nsatate vengeance General Whitfield yes
terday by declaring his election null and void but they
lacked the courage to consummae the deed by declaring
Governor Reeder to be entitled to the seat The expulsion
of Whitfield is nothing short of an act of unmtgated
usurpaion power by the sectional majority Whatever
power Congress and the Executive may have to repeal the
laws of Kansas the House has other right than that
which might gives them TO decide these laws to be invalid
and upon that decision to declare the election void But
presume after what has already occurred in the same body
the expulsion Of Whitfield will take one by surprise
the only matter of surprise will be that Gov. Reeder was
declared 10 be the legally elected delegate What
chance there would be to keep the Union together with
Congress and Executive like the present House. there
