The defeat of Henry Clay and the wing
marty. in the recent campaign, Is dread
fuI bIow. II falls not alone on Mr.. Clay
and his friends, but il strikes, in It's course,
the country. and we think it is source OF
more modification to a large portion of the
Democratic party :han would have been the
dafaat oftheir own nominee. 1t would be
idle and useless to attempt TO disguise the
fact that the Whig party teel the deepest
mortification and disappointment IN the de-
feat of Mr.. CLAY. The circumstances un-
der which he was nom:nated-the History
character and services OF the man-the al
most UNPARALLELED affection and admiration
entertained for him by his friends. and tneir
ardent desire to crown the honors PAID him
with the highest office in the nation, make
the failure 10 secure his election 10 the Pres-
idencv to them a most affective event. Ill
was not that they hoped TO make Henry
CLAW a greater man by so honorlng nim,
for that would not have added "a cubit to
his statue" Ii was gratifying themselves
to show that the Republic is grateful TO
those whose services make them worthy oil
gratitude. Il were idle. we repeat, to at
,emn, the concealment of the distress which
disappointment in these objects has occi-
stoned iE the Wing party. Ii IS too PLAIN
to be disguised, were that to De desired
But il Is not desirable. The objects OF Inc
Wings were worthy their devoted zeal and
glorious exertions; the noble leader tney
sustained was more than deserving OF their
warm and generous attachments. and they
need not be ashamed of their defeat They
would be less than men not to feel and mol
10 discover 1t.


We shall not now say any thing OF the
cause of the result The deed IS done. and
that is enough for the present But the
Wing party owe duty still to their coun-
try. Let them remain firm and sieadfast.
| Ii they showed their patriotism IN the zeal
Gus ami ardent support of their candidate
and his principles. in the day when every
sign was ominous of success, they VIII ou'
show themselves more worthy of the name
of Patriot by remaining to their principles
and their country in the hour OF adversely,
Let them maintain firmly their position. and
be ready TO rally again when the day and
The hour for their active exertions shall ar
rive. Let US look calmly or. and prudeniiiy ,
await developments, and come what VIII
