Although slavery has just gained victory
in Congress, the tsFire Eaters" forcsee lis
approaching defeat At the polls il KAnsas
and in the Northern States and in view Of
the probability thst Kansas will be made
free, in spite Of Lecompton, thsy again raise
the cry Of Secession" The Montgomery
(Ala.) Confederate, says:
"The Legislature of this State marked out
the course Alabama should adopt, and our
Executive will call convention OF the peo-
pie, IN pursuance Of the resolutions of the
Legislative that they, in their sovereign ca
pacity, Dstermine the right and the rem
edy for tgrsst outrage upon the conssitu-
ton OF the country"

Our Southern brethren have played Mr..

! About the most humiliated and degraded
man In the nation 10 the person whose name
stands at the head Of this paragraph. On
the occasion Of the serenade Of the presi-
dent, on Friday night, By the Democracy Of
Washington, in honor Of the passage Of the
kAnses bhL MIR. James B. Clay appears to
have been present at the White House, ia
pleasant and confidential confab with the
reckless and unprincipled calumniator Of his
illustrious father. Being called on for a
speech, ~ matter Of course he commenced
thus:
SIN the old time, my name was often as
ISOLATED with this White House, where we
now stand. Those times have gone. They
are passed, and there ~ nothing to be real
lied beyond what We have ut present-a Clay,
an humble follower in the ranks Of the De-
mocracyo
What . spectacle! A son of Henry CLAW
standing on the steps Of the White House,
and boasting Of his being Gan humble fol-
lower in the ranks Of the Democracy "--an
humble follower in the ranks Of a party that
prosecuted his glorious old father through
life, and hunted him with blood hound ma
Lightly to his grsve Standing there, too,
the guest, the counsellor, and the supporter
Of the man who had done more than al 9th
crs together, and that, too, BY the basest
Islander and calumny, to defeat the honora-
BILE ambition Of his father, snd prevent his
elevation to that very White House from the

Can II lie that MIR. Janes b. Clay is desti-
