 And have you nothing to apprehend from MT. Clay hinself1 Let us, on this head, see what he has done for the South. Before Mir Clay became candidate for the Presidency, the planting States had not only guarantee in the Federal Constitution against the power of the abolitionists, but strong one in the territorial limits of the United States, which latter security has been destroyed by the agency of Mr Clay, The free States always have had and always will have majority in the House of Representatives of Congress, but heretofore the blaming States have main tained majority in the Senate By the purchase of Louisiana a territory was acquired sufficient for twenty large States. By the treaty of cessiof tlte inhabitants were 10 enjoy all the political rights and rights of property and religion that the citizens of the United States enjoyed. Before thecession, the whole length and breadth of Louisiana was subject to be possessed by slave owners, as well as those that held no slaves But in violation of that treaty, Mr. Claws famous Missouri compromise act fogbds C,n .ress to a'mi into the Union any slave Sne north of 36 deg. 30 min. north latitude. within the limits of Louisiana, and since then neaalg every acre. except ,he S.aie ei Arkansas, of which $ aies ight he formed. south of 56 dec, 20 nin north laiitude, has been cedel to the Indians.

Thus do ihe South erners owe their future security to the tender mercies of the northern aboitionists, through the agency of Henry Clay more than of any other man, and perhaps more than all the men on the earth besides

South is broken up by the total extinction of negro labor in Amerca, and how far President Clay will impede or accelerate so fatal terminus for the South. may be decided, in some mea- sure. by the company he keeps politically. On this subject, need only relerlo eN-Pres- ideai Adams, the invited guest to Southern festival given to Mr. Clay. Hear him de- nounce slavery in all is length and breadth. and declare if Southern slaves rise upon their masters, the North ought not and will not assist to quel such instructions; and after this, we see him made the organ of the Clay party ia Congress, and every where hailed as the spirit and ehiearv of abolitianism, and YOU may find position for AIr. Clay in Southern politics; but fl my Southern friends are still at loss 10 divine AIr. Claws posi- ton on the great question of negro slavery between the North and South, will trouble them to read in page 2l, of Prentice's life of Clay, where the author says:

 s.The people of Kentucky were about to elect convention to frame new constitl- ton for the State. and one feature of the plan which had been submitted to them was a proposition for Gal emancipation of the slave population. His (Mr. Clav'sl feelings were on the side of Emancipation, and without taking moments heed to his popularity, he entered into the defence of his faror3e policy with all the deep and unquenchabe ardor of his nature. Ills vigorous pen was busy in the public journals, and his eloquence was raised in almost every asscmblage in favor of the election of men to the convention who would contend for the eradication of slavery He has been the slave's friend through life In all stations he has pleaded the cause of Afiraa frrelom without fear from the hirh or law. To him, more than any other nfi- vidilaL Is owing. that great revolution which has taken place upon this suhieet--a revou- ton whose wheels must continue to move onward till they reach the goal of airerSal freedom"

 This life, bv George h. Prentice.a Yankee, was written under the eve of Mr. Clav and published as late as 1891. It suits well the whole meridian of Massachusetts. but most especially the precincts Of Quincy.

 Another life. it seems, has been published for Mr. Claws especial use. and suits the merriam of ofPennsslvania, bv Carey and I.ea. Speaking of Alr. Claws struggles in Kennckv, ia favor of emancipation, the biographer. in page Q, saws
