therefore a man whom no power under that of the Almighty can restrain, he must needs be the most dangerous man to lie placed at tlie head of the govern ment it is possible to conceive. There is no foreseeing what he would do, or would not do. Not a few even of the whigs feel that he is an unsafe man ; even the manufacturers themselves support him with fear and trembling; the no blest ofall the whigs has denounced him on more occasions than one, and now only 'damn him with faint praise.’ Mr. Frelinghuysen is quite a different man ; and while agreeing with Clay in all obnoxious measures to which Mr. Clay himself stands pledged, he represents cer tain other elements of the whig party, from which still more evil, if possible, is to be apprehended. Mr. Frelinghuysen is pot only a whigin the wosrt sense of the term, hut he is also the very impersona tion of narrow-minded, ignorant, conceit ed bigotry —a man who boldly attacks re ligious liberty, demands the unhallowed union of Church and state, and contends that the government should legally re cognize the religion of the majority, and declare whatever goes counter to that to be contra bonos mores. He concentrates in himself the whole spirit of ‘Native A mericanism’ and ‘no popery,’ which dis played itself so brilliantly in the recent burning of the Catholic dwellings, sem inaries, and churches in the city of Phila delphia. We see personified in the whig candi dates modern Federalism, political pro fligacy, and canting, fanatical religious 1 bigotry. Their success would be fraught with the most serious danger to our po litical institutions, to social equality, and to religious freedom.” , Whig Principles. The President of the Whig National (’on vent ion, at which Mr. Clay was nom inated for the Presidency, was Ambrose Spencer of New York. He was a mem ber of the Convention of the State ; and in a speech on the qualification of voters, he used the following language; “That man who holds in his hands the substance of another, will be able to control his will. Such a person will for ever be the creature of the one who feeds, shelters, clothes, and protects him. This \ class of persons would he as subservient io the will of their employers as PER SONS OF COLOR.” Benjamin Watkins Leigh, of Virginia, was the next greatest man in the Whig National Convention, and was the. cho ■ sen instrument to nominate Mr. Clay.-- While a member of tlicConvenlion which formed the present Constitution of Vir ginia, he uttered the following senti ments : “I ask gen tie men to say, whether they believe that those who are obliged to de pend on their daily laL«r for their subsis tence, CAN or do ever enter into politi cal affairs? THEY NEVER DO— NEVER WILL—NEVER CAN.” “No government can produce the greatest degree of happiness and safety, or fail to destroy them, which does not produce the jealous security for property, WHICH DOES NOT WED POWER TO PROPERTY.” Jorunal of ike (. 'oiivcu/iun, />w.lsS —10:?. Among the Vice Presidents of the Bal timore Convention appears the name of Leverett Saitonstall, of Massachusetts.— This man was a leading member of the notorious Hartford Convention, which met to plot treason to our institutions and disgrace to Our arms in tlie late war. When the bill for the admission of Louisiana into the Union was before Congress in 1811, Josiah Quincy, tlfen a leading Federalist, ami now a conspicu ous whig, employed this language: “ If this hill passes, it is my deliberate opinion that it is virtually A DISSOLU TION OF THE UNION. That it would ircc the states from their moral obligations; and that, as it will he the right of all, so it will he the duty of some definitely to PROPOSE SEPARA TION—AMICABLY IF THEY CAN - FORCIBLY IF THFY MUST.” Os that (the Federal whig) party, TREACHERY is so favorite an instru ment, that I have heard Mr. Burgess (lion Tristnm Burgess) complain that they have even used it with him. Pl' IS THEIR NATURE AND THEIR VOCATION. 1 welcome the result of \our election, as a pledge that their cha lice is returning to their own lips—they aetrayed Mr. Burgess by not electing him to the senate of the United States. Their own organ in Providence (the Providence Journal) charges the loss of his election to the house, upon their treachery. So will it, and so mote it al ways be—THEY have NO HONEST PRINCIPLE TO KEEP THEM TO GETHER —their only cement isa SYM PATHY OR HATRED TO EVERY VIAN of PURER PRINCIPLE than THEMSELVES.— John Q.

Com. Advert see. I would not vote for this appropriation (for the defence of the" country) if the en emy’s cannon were battering down the walls of the Capitol. —Daniel Webster's speech in the Senate, pending the diffi culty with France. Comment by John Quincy Adams: Tlie man who would be guilty of ut tering a sentiment so unpatriotic, at a crisis like this, has but one step more to take, and that is— to join the enemy ! I will do my duty, even if Mr. Clay is to be benefitted by if, from whom I have experienced only UNGENEROUS TREATMENT, IN REQUITAL for years of devoted service. I have done him (Mr. Clay) many fa vors, but be has returned them all with the BLACKEST INGRATITUDE.— Gen. Harrison's letter to Mr. Brent, in the v inter of IS 11. It is the dictate of benevolence and hu manity to sell a poor man at a Sheriff's sa’e, into voluntary servitude, until he earns enough to pay the fine imposed by the court.” —Elisha Whittlesey , Whig Congressman from Trumbull , Ohio. The Senator, however, not only tells us that they (the Whigs) holdall sorts of principles, but they were afraid to pub lish to the world any declaration of their sentiments. Now, I believe it is a part of the law of nations, that when war is made against PIRATES, there is no need of the ceremonies of any former previous declarations of war, but it is un derstood cn all bands that you are at lib erty to attack them without ceremony, and cut and slash as hard as you please. Clay's speech in the Senate, 1840. The law of the duellist is an OUT RAGE UPON EVERY PRINCIPLE OF ORDER AND HUMANITY. It sets the laws of God and the institutions J of a Christian people at defiance; and if this MURDEROUS spirit be not met and fearlessly rebuked, on ourselves will abide much of the guilt of MURDER.— Mr. Frelinghuysen. 1 pronounce the member, whoever he may he, A BASE AND INFAMOUS <’ ALUMNI ATOR, A DASTARD, AND A LIAR; and if he dare unveil himself and avow his name, l will hold him re srhh'sible, as I here admit myself to be, TO ALL THE LAWS AVHICH GOV ERN AND REGULATE MEN OF HONOR.— Mr. Clay's “ Card .” In all this 1 do not mean that the Uni on is to he held fast at whatever cost. — Vast sacrifices should he made to it, but not the sacrifice of duty. For one, Ido not wish it to continue, if after earnest, faithful effort, the truth should be made clear that the free States are not to be ab solved from giving support to slavery. BETTER that we should PART, than be the police ot the slaveholder, than fight his battles, than wage war to up hold an oppressive institution. Sol say let the Union he dissevered, rather than admit Texas into the Confederacy. The free States should declare that the very act of admitting Texas will be con strued as a dissolution of the Union.— Dr. Chalining, vol. 6, p. 349. I would humbly prostrate myself before HIM, and implore His mercy to visit our favoreel land with War, with Pestilence, with Famine, with any scourge, other than military rule, or a biind and heed less enthusiasm for mere military renown. Mr. Clay's speech of Baltimore, May, 1828, as reported in Niles Register, vol. 31, page 195. That Mr. Clay is the chosen candi date of the aristocracy of the Whig party is unquestionable ; and it is equally un questionable that very earnest and zeal ous efforts will be made to impose him upon the whigs ns their candidate. It is also certain that Mr. Clay is not the choice of the Democracy of the whig party. Apart from other sufficient rea sons, therefore, which we shall give here after the very fact that Mr. Clay is the darling of the Aristocratic Whigs, or rather the very cause which makes him so, operates, in the nature of things, to prejudice him in the eyes of the Demo cratic whigs, and to lead them to fix their choice upon some other candidate. — Bos ton ( Whig) Atlas, Nov. 20, 1838. “ Y. t Fivlinghuyscn, gratitude is due tlicc, .A rut tuftirr ;>raise than language can supply ; Guilt may denounce and ealumny f tusuethee, Ami pensioned impudence thy worth decry; Brilliant and pure posterity shall view thee, Asn fair planet in a troublous sky.' 1 f T Yin.

Clay's speech in the Senate , May 28, 1838. The revenue system is a system un der which there is a sort of perpetual war between the interests of the government, and the interests of the people! High tariff duties fill the coffers of the govern ment, and empty the pockets of the peo ple.—Speech of Mr. Clay in Congress, 1820. No more revenue should be levied than is necessary to an economical administra tion of the government. 1 should have preferred that the compromise in all its parts [uniform duties of 20 per cent.] could have been adhered to. — Mr. Clay's letter to Mr. Meriwether, October 2, j 1843. The prohibition of the fabrics of for i oign countries would transfer the monop | oly to the home manufacturers in the ; United States. T]re true interests of the i consumers are best promoted by a compe i tition between the foreign and national j supply.

The fact that Mr. Clay is more of a i free trade man, (advocate as he is of a | reasonable tariff) than Mr. Van Buren, is becoming generally known to the peo ple of the South.— Richmond Whig, the leading Clay paper in Vir inia. We deny that Mr. Clay, or the whigs | of Georgia, whose candidate he is, seek for the establishment of a protective tar iff: BUT MR. CLAY ADHERES TO THE PRINCIPLES OF THE COM PROMISE ACT . —Savannah Republi can. “ 'Piic Senator (Mr. Calhoun) was con tinually charging him (Mr. Clay) with the design of violating the compromise | act! When had lie swerved from it ? He was still for adhering to it, as he un derstood its principles. Those principles lie did not consider incompatible with the protection of American industry, in j»rel crence to any other. He had lived, and would die, an advocate of the protective system. He bad never changed his principles. They were now the same as they had ever been ; but he submitted to the restrictions of the compromise act as a matter of necessity. And he did not I even now think it prudent, because not I practicable, to go as far as his inclinations j led him, with the friends of protection.— I But as far as he could go, he would!”— Mr. Clay's Speech in Senate. 23 d of 'March, 1813. From the August a Conatihi Hanoi 'M. The result of the present political con test in Georgia vvilldisclose a solemn fact, whether the people have sense and intel ligence enough to judge for themselves of tiie soundness of the principles which should govern those citizens selected to administer the general government, or whether that people are to be influenced I in the rdoption of political principles by j the leaders of the parties into which the j country is divided. What do we now behold f The people of Georgia, until a i few months past, had manifested the! strongest opposition to the federal system that a party in the United States were en-! deavoring to place in the ascendency.— } The people of Georgia have always been opposed to a protective tariff, ‘.o a nation al bank, to a liberal construction of the constitution, to an extension of the pow ers delegated to the general government, and to other principles equally at war with state rights, and the integrity of our j public institutions. We cannot believe j that the people of Georgia have in so j short a time, seen any error in the course j they have been pursuing. If they have not, what could lead them to change a policy which had taken so deep a root in their state ? If they have changed, to what cause must this be ascribed ? Ei ther to themselves, or to certain party leaders. If the cause is in themselves, and they believe, conscientiously, that they have been in the wrong all this time we have nothing more to say; but if the change is to he ascribed to party leaders, our fellow citizens will have to acknowl edge, that they have been remiss in their ‘independence; that they have abaridon edsome of the attributes of freemen ; and that they have in their party leaders more confidence than in themselves. They will have shown mare subserviency to the opinions of others than they should have done. But, can the people of Geor gia at once become the supporters of a protective tariff,of a national bank, and other federal whig measures, because a few party leaders find it to their interest to support a policy to which they were once so inimical ? We have a Letter opinion of our fellow citizens of Georgia. H e know them to be high-minded, de voted to state rights, and to the integrity of the public institutions of the c utntry ; and we are convinced that they will not be led astray by ambitious and utipriuei pled leaders', who throw principles to the winds, when they interfere with their scheme of aggrandizement. Would not those party leaders have remained stead fast to state rights principles—to princi ples advocated and maintained for more than forty years— if they had not adopted the policy of supporting Mr. Clay for the presidency ? I)o tney not support a pro tective tariff and a national bank because Mr. Clay is in saver of those measures? Would they not have been zealous fertile annexation of Texas, had not Mr. Clay written a letter against such a measure ? Did those leader.; declare themselves against annexation before the letter of Mr. Clay appeared ? And were not the general mass of the people of Georgia the zealous friends of annexation before the whig leaders began to speak ? Have the I people of Georgia changed ? And why ! have they changed? Do they have more confidence in the opinion of a few leaders than in themselves? The result of the present political contest will decide the question. Knowing the people of Georgia as we do, we anticipate the re sult. The people of Georgia will judge for themselves; they will not be led astray by a few interested and ambitious party leaders, who are deceiving them, in or der to acquire the ascendency in the state, and to accomplish all their schemes of aggrandizement.

Once more Mr. Editor, and I am done, .“and though last not least.” I give you Ex-Governor Peward, one of the most powerful and devoted champions and Whig leaders In the Union.

He appears to have kept its beauties hidden till its close. “ Look at the threatened extension of our territory, for the mere purpose of ex tending the public domain of slavery, and adding new bulwarks, to support that accursed institution. Who shall postpone this evil now? A Whig Sen ate. Who can prevent it hereafter but a Whig administration and a Whig Con gress? And who shall lead the way in these great measures but the Whigs of Western New York—who led the way in 1837, and 1838 and in 1840?

The Judge is a man of sterling ability and integrity, and we give him a cordial welcome to our ranks: To the editor of the Clinton County Whig: Sir—l will preface the annexed letter by an anecdote. Some years since, Gen. Root, ( now a staunch Clay man) at the period referred to, was a State Senator. He had a warm and animated sparring with Parley Keyes, also a Senator. On the following morning, Gen. Root called at the room of Mr. Keyes, and found him in bod. “Mr. Keyes,” said the General, “ we yesterday had some warm words in the Senate chambers: now, sir, we have for a long period been warm friends: but, sir, as l knew that yon was not big enough to apologize, I have called my self to make an apology.” There are many men who are not “ big enough” to admit they have been iti error, although convinced lu your paper of Saturday last, June 15, you have thought proper to publish to ihc world that I was, in the year 1840, in favor of Henry Clay for President.— That I was in favor of a Protective ’Pa rift', (you should have said a discrimina ting tariff;) and that 1 was in favor of a Distribution of the sales of tiie Public laudAnd you also add, that I am now “ a loco foco of the true stamp.” 1 admit that, at the period above stated, I was in favor of Mr. Clay for President, that I was also in favor of a United States Bank, a discriminating tariff, and of dis tribution.
