One of the strongest evidences of
Buchanan's weakness, is the fact that
all his organs and professional election
eering friends are begging old line
Wings to vote for him, especially they
say the Union Wings should vote FOR
him.
Certainly ALL the old Clay Wings
should vote for him, for it was James
Buchanan that branded Henry Clay
with bargain and intrigue in the election
for President in 1S24-it was he that
imputed to Henry Clay the basest, the
foulest act of political infdelity and
villainy of which any honorable man
could be guilty.
If the charge was true, Clay richly
merited the execration of every honest
man-if false, then was Buchanan gull
ty of the vilest unmitigated slander ever
uttered by man, and it should sink him
so deep in purgatory that the Devils
deepest shaft would not prospect him.
Old Clay Wings, do you believe the
charge =! if you do, for Gods sake vote
for Buchanan, elevate the pure accuser,
and stamp iufamy on Clay's tomb. If
you believe the accusation false and
malicious, how dare you vote for him.
how dare you endorse the slanderer of
him who is now numbered among the
| pale nations of the dead-whose memo
ry alone lives with his countrymen! If
you do, his once manly form ought to
start from the tomb in its winding sheet
pale and attenuated in death, stand
erect before you, point at you with his
long arm and skinny finger, and ex-
claim-"Avaunt ye vile slanderer-
shield yourself under the cloak of Bu-
chanan, whose assassin tongue sought
to damn me in the estimation of all good
men-do homage to him, but never
again utter the name of Henry Clay.
Be thy torments hot as the wrath of ON
impotence, and lasting as eternity.
Don't tell me you are an old line Clay
Wing, and going to vote for Buchanan.
You might as well swear you are good
pious christian, whilst you are nightly
engaged with the Devil playing old
sledge and betting off your neighbors'
souls. The Devil assumed ownership
of the whole world, when on the noun
tain he offered it all to Christ if he
would fall down and worship him
when his title thereto was more false
and bareless than the Limantour Grant
it was more tolerable and consistent than
your professcd love and admiration Of
Henry Clay-topped off with a vote for
Buchanan. If you believe the charge
of corruption was false and unfounded
| lin fact you know it to be so,) how dare
you assert the Union would be safe in
the hands of man, who, to further his
own political fortunes, would falsely,
knowingly and wickedly, stab in the
dark, that true patriot and devoted low
er of his country, the immortal Henry
Clay. OLD KENTUCKY.

BARGAIN AND SALE.-Now that the
desertion of Mr.. Ipsedoodle Ferguson
has been made public, it appears from
the American that a bargain and sale
was known to have taken place two
months since, between Frank Washing
ton and Dave Broderick on one side,
and said Ipsedoodle, John B. McGee,
and Chas. Westmorland, Senators hold
ing over, on the other. The American
says fnll particulars of the whole scheme
are in its possession, and ht a proper
time every thing will be made public
The aim of the bargain was to elect
Washington and Broderick to the Uni
ted States Senate.
If these things are true, the loss of
the Senators named will be of infinite
gain to the American party, and ought
to be substantiated for the good of the
party. If not true, it is due to the ac-
cused that chance may be given them
to prove their innocence. In any case
the American should make a clear breast
of the whole affair at the earliest posi-
bic moment.
Hawks, Ferguson and Westmoreland
were the most bitter in denunciations of
Flint when he apostatized last winter.
But their treachery is ten fold worse
than Flint's. 1t required moral courage
to take position adverse to a great
party in its day of might, and receive
the obloquy heaped upon a deserter by
the deserted, before assembled numbers
But seeking the miserable pretext of a
dubious Presidential contest, to commit
treason under, adds the darkest shade
to the infamy of apostates.
Wilson Flint was not elected by the
American party; but Ferguson, McGee
and Westmoreland were. If the deed
of the former deserved the execration
which has been heaped on his head,
how much more should the latter suffer
at the hands of an outraged people,
We hope the whole affair will be made
public for the sake of all concerned.

IT NEEDED not the announcement in
the Democrat of this week, that its edi-
tor was yet unable, from the effects of
the late fire, to assume his care for its
columns The article communicated
is conclusive evidence in itself that no.
body is at the head of the editorial de-
partment of the paper. The writer of
that article with all his attempts to coun-
terfeit the lion, could never have de-
ceiyed the real editor of the Democrat,
but would have been discovered by his
asinine appendages, and kicked from
the presence of a gentleman. The
roaring of the king of forests was at

HE n. Y. HERALD.-The position
occupied by the n. Y. Herald is a strange
but not unaccountable one. Not long
since no language was too bad for the
Republicans coming from that source.
The term "nigger worshippers" had its
origin in the hatred of the Herald for
the northern party. The columns OF
that sheet present an anomalous picture
The Congressional reports still retain
the distinctive epithet of niger Worship
per attached to the name of any Anti
Nebraskaite. The editorial pages ad-
vocate the admission of Kansas as slave
state but still support Fremont for the
Presidency.
The Herald labors for price. There
need not be doubt but gold is account
able for the inconsistencies ofthe paper.
Nothing but money and in liberal guam
titles too, could have brought Bennett
and Greeley on the same platform to
advocate the same cause.
The value of the Mariposa grant has
something to do with the somersault OF
the Herald, or perhaps the missing
funds which ought to have been paid,
the Indebtedness of this State, but did mt,
are beginning to show their effects in
the editorials of Bennett.

What hypocrisy, and what cant!
1t is refreshing to turn from such an
exhibition of cunning and treachery
to the open, unequivocal position ever
occupied by the great statesman, Millarc
Fillmore, on the question which with
Californians swallows up all others
While President of the United States
he strenuously recommended that meas
ures be taken to connect the great East
with the growing West by great ma
tional thoroughfare. But a Democratic
Congress unheeded his suggestions and

pressed the great work upon the nation

racy, then as now, offered insuperable
obstacles to an appropriation.
Can the people be so blind as not to

Millard Fillmore is the man. He has
been tried, and his soundness on this
question is beyond controversy. We
