HUNTSVILLE, June Is, 1857.
Mr.. EprTon: On last Saturday, accord
ing TO appointment, Gen. Clark, candidate
for Congress. made speech here to a small
crowd of the sovereigns of our county; il
was a dull effort. He commenced by tell
ing us that he was the nominee Of the Bloom
ington Convention-that he was our neigh
Dor, and therefore, he had some claims upon
us. He then got upon the Cincinnati plat
form-said he was in favor of Squa,ter
SoveregntY-it was the great principle Of
sclf.govenment; he said it was nonsense to
say that Territory was in a state Of Tutil-
age, or under the control Of the General
Government, until she formed State Gen.
stitution; that he would prefer that the peo-
pie of a Territory would wait until they
formed their State Constitution before they
passed upon the question Of slavery, but
from the position he assumed, he acknowl-
edged that they could do SO while in a Ter
ritorial form; he sad he would vote, If elect
ed, TO admit the Mormons with oil their
denominations, in allowing polygamY, into
the Union Of these States as an Independent
State-and presume if they were to allow
an indiscriminate killing of men, women and
| children, he would vote TO admit them.
see no distinction between the two cases;
old Young and his sixty wives would be as
revolving to The moral sense of the people
here, as anything could be. How can any
party vote Tor man who is willing to give
countenance to the Mormons, with all their
denominations, by stating in his public ad-
dresses that he would vote for them to come
into the Union.
Gen Clark next got upon his everlasting
niger question-said there were some
emancipationists in St. Louis, and if Rollins
and Collins were elected they would claim
it as triumph Of ,leir party. and the only
way of saving the country was to elect him
and Stewart; that he admitted the Democrts
in the last Legislature had elected Mr..
Palm, who was an avowed emancpatlonist,
but it was not to any political office, and,
said he, fellow-citizens, would you enquire
whether candidate for constable, Justice
of the Peace, and County Court Judge was
an Emancipationist, Black Republican, Dem
ocrat, American or Wing? What will the
pc ople say to that doctrine, think you?
He next attempted to soft soap the wings
said he had never changed-that he was
contending for the same doctrine that he
was in 1910, when he run as the whie
candidate for Governor--that in 1850 he
told the wings if they followed the leader,
ship of men who acknowledged the power
OF Congress over the subject of slavery il
the Territories, it would break up the par.
| ty and that it had done so; this was the
cause of the break up of the wing party
Is it possible that he can make any one be-
lieve that it was voting for such man a:
John G. Miller, now dead, that broke W
the whig party? and how can the demo

same Coon, that he was in 1910, when h,
exhausted the vocabulary Of opprobious cpl
thets in telling the democratic party OF the
meanncss, and their ignorance? In 1914
when Clay ran, he abused the democrats
in 1850 he abused the whigs-called then
freesoilers and all sorts Of hard names, an,
was enc of the first to join the American
party-made speech in the lod &c sayini
she had tried all parties-that he first wa
a Whig--then Tylerite--he found both o
those parties corrupt-he then tried tn
democratic party and found that so corrup
that it stunk, and he thanked his God h
had found the American party-the onl
patriotic party in this country, and the oni
one that could save the country from tn
wooden- headed, Dooien-Shoed and sour
krOm dmch," and after remaining in the A
merican party some seven or eight month:
or perhaps longer, he backed out ane trie
the democracy again for office, saying tina
he had beer Seduced into the American par
ty! He was longer than usual finding OF
that he was seduced and can it be that III
democrats can place any confidence in tn
political integrity Of such man? | ask
then, would he not be again seduced by an
party that had the appearance of being til
stronger? The democrats will hardly swal
low him, without swearing him back and no
then, with any great unanimity, and tn
Wings won't touch him,
