Cassius M. Clay.

Several good anti-s]avcry friends have
written us about our Inconsistency in rails
sing Cassius NJ. Clay as one Of our candi-'
dates. They remind us that in these late
fiery trials he has only been defending the
freedom Of Republican speech, that he has
admitted the right Of Kentuckians to ST.
lencc and banisn radical Abolitionists; and
add, "cvcry tyrant is in favor of free speech
provided people speak in his way"
Now, it occurs to US tina: it is very easy
for us to sit here and say what he should
have done there. When man has taken
his life in his hand, planted himself in one
citadel Of Freedom, to defend it single
handed against hest, while his wife and
daughters run bullets for him to shoot, it
is asking good deal, to demand that he
shall erect trenches around his neighbor' s
garrison.
Cassius NJ. Clay has long defended the
rights Of John c. Fee and his followers in
Kentucky. DO we forget that years ago
when Fee was warned, on peril of bis life
not to attempt speaking in certain place,
O:s>ius NJ. Clay went with him, STEP
ped forward, addressed the Infatuated mob
that waited to take his life. stated that he
did not agree with Mr.. Fee in all the SEN
timents he was about to utter; but that
for sake of freedom Of speech, he had come
there to see that the speaker was protected
in his right to speak, and that whoever
molested Fee, must do it over his dead
body? 1Ir. Fec made his speech and
under cover Of Clay's protection, con-
tinued his labors for years. But in the in
sane excitement which followed the John
Brown raid, Clay has evidently felt that
all he could do was defend his own posi-
ton. He has done it, and We doubt if
there is another man in the Union who
could have stood where he did =; and any
Of US who think we could have done better,
might test the question by going down and
trying the experiment.
We have several times in our own life
been placed in position to look mob Law
square in the face; and are not at all Ger.
tain that our behavior was just such as
would have met the entire appreciation Of
those who sat at ease in their studies with
no cloud to>obscarc their view of abstract
right. Clay was dealing with a set Of ma.
>niacs, aud His plan Of setting them about
making a law by WHICH men could he ban
ished the State, for heresy, just appears to
US as one Of the happiest inventions Of the
times. BY the time the Kentuckians get
their present Lynch Code fairly entered on
their statute books, there Ygill have been
very considerable discussion Of the whole
question, and an undreamcd Of enlighten-
mcnt Of the pubic, mind. Such plan
for throwing the blood hounds off the scent,
is itself enough to immortalizc one man as
champion Of free speech.
Mr.. Clay does not fully represent ou1
sentiments; and we do not know anybody
who does; but when he takes position
we know just as well beforehand as after.
wards, that he will stand or die thcre-and
.--well-Clay is our Candidate.

in view of the trouble at Charleston says: :
"Northern Democrats can no longer he
