DAYTON VS.. Henry Clay.

The New York Tribune, in an elaborate eulogy
upon Mr.. ex-senator Dayton, of New Jersey, says:
"When, in 1850, Henry Clay introduced his
famous omnibus bill, which was the basis of the
Compromise afterwards effected, Mr.. Dayton
boldly and manfully resisted that great Whig
leader, and nobly maintained his fidelity to liberty
in defiance of party discipline and official influence.
No doubt this was the means of preventing his
appointment 10. foreign mission under the FIJI
more sdministration-an appointment for which
he was regarded as peculiarly fitted, and which it
was bel eyed at one time had been rendered him."
There's the story There's the Free-sol virus
Of Mr.. Dayton He didn't get the mission 1t
ought 10 be added, too, that the people of New
Jersey 40 little relished the opposition of Mr. Day
ton to Mr. Clay that they gave him liberty to stay
ut home. The truth of the matter la the less that
is said of Mr.. Dayton's- course on the Clay Com
promise measures Of 1850, the better 1t will be
for him.
His conduct was severely criticized at the time,
and not without just cause Had the Tribune at
tributed the cause Of bis opposition to those meas
ures 10 desire on his part at that time to ngra-
tiate himself with the Taylor administration, and
to obtain from il foreign mission, It would have
better hit the nail on the head for it would then
have but stated the true motive which Il was well
known and understood at the time, influenced his
conduct Unfortunately for him, Gen. Taylor died,
and with his death the policy of the Executive
changed Mr. Fillmore being in favor of those
measures and knowing the motives universally as
cribed TO Mr. Dayton for opposing them, did not
