Between the editor of the Advertiser nd his cor responden ", there is fine opportunity furnished,

 if one were in the humor, for critical comment upon he whig view of the morals "f card playing, de. duced from ihe practices of HENRY CLAY, of Ken lucky, and CAVE JOHNSON, of Tennessee. Mir. JOHNSON having been praised in this paper for hIs haIual jealousy of all expenditures of public osy while member of Congress, the Advertiser editor and his friend put in personal objection to this mendation, in Il charge that Mir. JOHNSON played cards for money, about, as compute the data giv | en. ten or twelve years ago. and that as MT. Me- | CALLA and others had charged Mir. Clay with gambling propensiles," the ',nfa mous' charge made this just one, good retaliation. When spoke of the ncongrnity of this of warfare with the professions of the parties themselves, the wer of both is that the charge against Mir. CHAT was 'alse, and that against Mir. JOHNSON is true, that is, that MT. JOHNSON has in his life played cards for money, but Mir CLAY never did!
