Of the matter of Mr.. CLAr speech we expressed our
opinion when had nothing before save the resolutions
the brief sketch which accompanied them That opinion
has undergone no change by careful and attentive peual
of the entire speech We believe Mr. CLAr correct in almost
every position he has assumed and the main points of the
speech especially that portion Of il which asserts the
elusive control Of Congress the question of war; and its
duty to proclaim the objects for which the present with
Mexico prosecuted the people at large, without distinction
Of party cannot otherwise than II the boasted at
butes Of free people worth any thing practically, they
Of the Executive that they inform why fighting and
for what we are fighting To keep in ignorance of these
points il to treat Us like the feeed slaves Of despot who
must do his bidding without murmur question.


On the issue OF territory territory, Mr. CLAY
pies conservative ground He oresces with prophetic ken all
the peril that surrounds The question He knows that while
the South continues claim the right extend her nstitu


lions in any newly acquired SOIL and the North persists in rc
fsng right the attempt to increase the present limits oil
the Union be fruitful in discod burning, and sec
tionn icuds Like wise and prudent patriot whose love OF
country paramount TO the lust Of dominion, Mr. CLAY
would avoid crisis while il may yet be Stunned lie IS
against the annexation Of Mexican territory because the effort
to annex will involve collisions Of the most dstractng and
painful character and because such acquisition would be
dearly purchased at the price OF dssenson dangerous not
fatal the stability of the Union This is growing sent
mcn among the rejecting and patriotic citizens OF the country,
and the period we think far distant when the South
in clEdeence will stand the principles distinctly enunca-
ted by MIR. CLAY.
