'LooKING OVER INTO CANAAN."-Sparks, of Louisiana, Is said to have remarked in the Whig ratification convention of New York. '.that Clay and FreEaghuysen were like Moses and AaIon on Mount Pisgah. looking over into Canaan, where oneellortmore would bring them into the land of promiscn NIT. Clay, unfortunately for his friends, has held this attitude altogether too long 10 inspire much hope of 8 change of position. The iaet IS, Moses never reached the promised land, and the figure is exceedingly good, for Clay will never reach the white house. It would be incomplete in any otherview Thus Moses struck the rock of the desert twice for water. Clay also struck the ballot-box twice for the presidency. Moses didnot % about 1t according 10 the command of God, and failed. Clay dIdnot avow principles according to thc commands of the people, and failed also- Moses then doubted God Shall we not say m reference to annexation alone, Clav Has doa5ted He people He upheld it in l8l6- he now renounces il. This is the last lime we shall ever be able 10 annex Texas. and yet he denies it's expedieney. Moses was not permitted 10 enter the promised land in pun- ishment of the doubt he had shown in inc desert Is il likely that Clay's lot for the presidency will be any better? The figure Is well chosen. To Joshua was given inc honor oi obtaining the promised land, Moses having died beholding 1t, and to JAMES K PoEK will now be given tho unfading glory oi anneXmg to the twenty-six, the promised land of the LONE srAn.
