The firm, decided stand which ke has taken has not only gained him many friends, but has exasperated some of his enemies almost to frenzy.

 prescription which is striking with bold hand at the very foundation of our liberty, Henry Clay has presented to the eyes of his fellow countrymena mo- spectacle ofpolitica integrity and fearless pari otisn He has invited the seyerest scrutiny into his political movements, and they have received it. The scrutiny has been made by his enemies, but even they could detect shadow upon the sunshine of his public character. The breath of their islander could not dim it.
