Henry CLAW Wings.

injury Oldy nA5S'
The Sheriff's organ contained long
article yesterday, with gas enough in it to take
up Brooks Hercules balloon on the subject of
Judge Morton's speech. Nine out of ten of
its assertions were made without regard to
truth, and the tenth was unsupported by doc
uments. There was ingenuity enough in
the editorial to stamp it the production Of
some other than the editor, yet sophistry and
falsehood sufficient to secure his editorial en-
dorsement. The appeal at the close to Old
Wings, was particularly rich, and will no
doubt prove rresistable-especiaIly from
source entitled to so much respect as the par
ticular organ of that good old Wing, the Shcr-
Iff
The Enquirer pretends to think that Henry
| Clay would have looked with great horror at
the present movement in opposition to the
Kansas Nebraska law 1t wants to know
how Wings can "act with party that always
opposed Henry Clay, and whom Henry Clay
denounced in one of his last speeches of his
life" We were not aware that either Repub-
lcan or American party was in existence dur
ing Clay's life! 1t refers to one of Clay's last
speeches We will give it an extract from
Clay's last great speech, and it uttered a senti-
ment which he never changed. In that
speech he said
81 REPEAT THAT NEVER CAN, AND
NEVER WILL VOTE, AND NO OTHER
POWER CAN EVER MAKE ME VOTE
TO SPREAD SLAVERY OVER TERRI
TORY WHERE II DOES NOT EXIST"
We place this in caps so that the old Wings
may see it as they run and the Enquirer may
not it. And as that paper appears to be
suffering under the idca that Clay would if
alive now be favoring the repeal of the Missouri
Compromise, and therefore all Wings should
join the party which threw the whole country
into dangerous agitation to accomplish that
repeal, We give an extract from speech of
Clay's. In referring to the enactment of the
Missouri Compromise, he says:
eyes, sir, the Missouri Compromise was re-
ceiycd with eXultation and joy. Not Tie recep-
tim Of tie treaty Of peace negotiated at Client nor
any other eUent a0bich las occurred during nly
progress IN public life, e0er gaze such unJounded
and aajUersial satisfaction as tie settlement Of tie
Missouri Compromise"
GREAT ESCAPE OF GAs.-IIon O.. ?. Morton,
one of the great guns of Abolitonsm, spoke
several hours to small assemblage of Know
NOthings, Abolitonsts and Democrats, on last
Thursday. We never listened in all our lives
to such an array Of faIsehoods, contradictions,
slang, backguardism and vituperation, as came
from the mouth Of this demagogue
Roczpogt Dem.
AS Judge Morton made about the same
speech at Rockport he delivered here, those
who heard him at Apollo Hall last Friday
night, may judge from the above just about
what honesty and dccency may be expected
from an Old Line editor. We never listened
to a political speech freer from the very OBJ
Elections urged by the Democrat, than that de-
livered by Judge Norton And we will ven
turc to say, that not an intelligent, candid
Democrat can be found in Evansville, who will
not coincide with us, if he heard the speech
Judge Morton is a gentleman in his language
as in his actions.
