In the songs and speeches of the Whig orators,


in nearly all they say and do in connection with


Henry Clay, they treat him as a superior intei.
gence, and some of them have even gone so far as
to pronounce him God! A few weeks since
we saw song passing through the Wing prints
and we believe it was published in the Register
in which the "chorister" said, that although Mr..
Clay was " in form a man."


CHE LOOKED GoDl"


Another Wing has called him The Republic
pers0nltGed," and thousands of Others in the reck
lesness and blindness of an unaccountable nflua
ton, have pronounced him &c the cause and the


man, ~" the greatest of all human beings" and the
anticipated "redeemer ofthe country" Now what
is all this but man-worship? 1t tears God from
his throne, and sets upa poor fraiI mortal in his
stead, as the object of worship and alteration Let
the christians of the country reflect upon the fol-
lowing. 1t is taken from the latter part of the
twelfth chapter of the Acts of the Apostles:


And upon set day, Herod, arraycd in royal
apparel, sat upon his throne, and made an Grafton
unto them. And the people gave shout saying
~ t"S"IeC COt@c ~ u OOO, 0NGI DOL " u WUH AU
Immediately the angel oflhe Lord smoe him, be-
cause he gaze not. God the glory; and he was
eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost"


Here is an awful account given by the pencil
of Divine Truth, of the destruction Of one who suf
fered the people to hail him as God, and who,
in the pride and arrogance of power, "gave not
God the glory" Look at the conduct Mr. Clay
at Mobile and New Orleans He entered both
those cities on the Sabbath, and was hailed by the
people with shout saying, he comes the re-
deemer and deliverer of the country Fit echOO
the words of the song,


';'HE LooKED A GoD!"


And did this political eIectioneerer, this travel
ling specch-malser," this god of the modern whlg
party "gioe God the glory' in violating the Sab
bath


Is it wonderful after al al these things-after tho
excitement and revelries of 184O-afer the pro-
cesaions, and shouts, and dissipation which marx.
ed that period-after these repeated violations ol
the Sabbath, and such open and daring insults o.
fered to Heaven ITSELF that misfortunes and JudG
ments have fallen on the country?
