The chief merit in whig speeches, seems to eon- sist in the constant repetition of inc woras-IIenry Clay. If mindless fellow gets ups without two consecutive ideas in bis head, and finds itdiiIculto put forth even that neagfe stock, he forthwith says Henry Clay; then comes applause; and a person just stepping in would suppose that the orator had said something which would have shone brightly amid the eloqaenee of sheridan Curran, Fox, whereas he has said just nothing at all. 'sI ain a whig--I go for Henry Clay" is the very bcstspeech a whig can make, and will procure him much ap- plause, and stamps him orator of the first water.

 We cannot refrain from alluding 10 the merits oi the wbig candidates for the legislature, Mr. New ton Is like small steamboat-the little "Pulaski, for example@with heavy head of steam, generated to make show at the landing; it starts out, runs with the utmost fury for five or ten minutes until il gets into deep water when the steam evaporates and the craft is compelled to fall back to place of em- barcation in the most quiet hummer. Mir. Newton makes an abundance of fuss while he is at 1t; and we d6 believe he would have made a most excellent tragedian if he had commenced early in life. His hobby is Henry Clay and dwelling the Penitentiary to the cold earth.

 Mr Fowler takes charge of the hitlebnry Flaw

 ns case as his hobby, and shows up the horrors oi dedication: t is kind of pade aeeam with him, and well msmorzed. for he speaks it constantly without variation. It is the same old nonotonous song, which the gentleman has been chanting for the last eight years, and is literally worn out.

 Mir. Trapaa goes t on miscellany. He had got il into his head that there is no kind of uniform rency in the world but the notes of United States Bank This is rather hls hobby he has also grea horror of war, and particular dislike to Capt Ty Ter about the Texas treaty; and We are extremely glad the Captain is out of his reach, for verify believe he would lay violent hands upon him.

 Mr. Bertrand is whg alias Charley on he spot. : We scarcely know what we ean say of him he car rics about scraps of documents but never applies them d tue rsht place. After he makes asPeeeh, and before the public has time to judge of it. lie says he considers il no speech at all and must have chance 10 do himself justice at some other time. We are rather inclined to think that the gories and excel leneies Of the Clay Club constitute his hobby.

 All the above named gentlemen are against the annexation of Texas unto death and they have wagcd terrible and very destructive war against he 'tlone star," although we entertain some hopes that it may still float over the honored graves of the heroes ol San Jacinto
