ASHLAND, July, ‘.25. 1843.
GEN'rLEiitAN: I have the honor to ac-
knowledge the. receipt of tliefcommtinication
which, in behalf of the Clay Clttb of Charit-
bersburg, you addressed to tiie, informing
me of the organization of that association.
and of its determination to CO.‘ipEl'3l.e with
siuiilar institutions and our Whig fellow
citizens generally in disseminating and es-
tablishing sound principles of governiiieni
in the United States. You are also please-d,
gentlemen, at the. instance of the Club, to
request my acquiescence in the various
nominations which have been made of me
for the officc of Chief t\-Iagistrate of the Uni-
ted States. I hope the success of the exer-
tions of the Club in the propagation and es-
tablishment of correct principles may be
commensurate with its laudable and patri-
otic aims. And I tender it my cordial
thanks and grateful ticknowledgetiients for
the friendly sentiments and wishes which it
contains towards myself. I am infinitely
obliged to my fellow citizens for the numer-
ous testimonies of their confidence and at-
tacbment in manifesting their desire tit... 1
should fill the highest office in their gift;
and whatever may be the final resultfniv
heart will ever be animated by feelings tit
thc liveliest gratitude. The time has not
'ct arrived, I think, when I ought to decide
whether I shall give my consent or not to
the tise of rtiy name as a candidate for it...
office of President of the United States-.
\Vlien it does, I shall give to all the consid-
crations which should influence my judg-
ment full weight, and among them, the
friendly wishes of the Clay Club of Chain-
bcrsburg.
I concur with you, gentlemen, generally.
in the retrospect which you have presented
of the administration of public affairs during
lite years, and in the measures of policy
which ought to guide it. If we are not ut-
terly deceived in the theory of free govern-
ment, the people of the United States ought
all along to have been and should now he
the happiest and iriost prosperous people
upon the earth ; btit our condition has been
and continues to be, far otherwise. It is
impossible to contemplate the administration
of the Grovernmt-iit during nearly the last
fifteen years without feelings of the deepest
regret and bittercst mortification. 'l‘liat_long
period has been marked by relentless prescrip-
tion, similar in spirit, if not attended with
the same effusion of blood, as that which is
recorded in Roman history to have been per-
petrated by Marius and Sylla; by reckless
oxperiinents the ovcrth_row of valuable institu-
tions; by th-e destruction of the bestcurrency
in the world, and consvquent derangement in
all the business of society ; by extensire and
scandalous p-iculation on the part ofthe pub-
lic money; by attempts to subvert. the long
cherished policy ofthe country under which
it had eminently flotirislii-d and prospered;
by l‘el.iXetll0l'l in the respect and aiitfiority
due to the law and constitution: by wide
spread and alarming dt-moralizition; by a
fearful growth and corrupt use ofthe power
of the Executive branch of the Government:
and, finally. by a degree of perfidy in the
head ofthat branch. of which no equal exam-
ple can be found in this or any other age.—
At the cotiimencemeiit of the administration
of the present acting Chief Magistrate the
leaders of our political opponents, with a
few honorable exceptions. nssiduously court-
ed and caressed him; flattering and praising
him for his violation of the just expectations
of a confiiling people. They matched up
in asolid column, artn in arm, along Penn-
sylvania Avenue to the Presidential mansion
to thank and congratulate him for exercising
a royal prerogative to defeat/the wishes and
hopes ofthe people. Men underitbe abused
name of Democrats, loudly exulted in the
favor of a measure demanded by the urgent
wants and voice, and essential to the pro-no.
tion of the interests of the people: exulted
in the perverse and corrupt will of one man
overruling the will of a'l-arge majority of
the nation! In the disp nsatioiis of an all
wise Providence, retributive justice is sure
to come sooner or later. The acting Presi
dent, so iriucli wooed by political leaders in-
the beginning of his Administration, now.
as its ctid approaches, in his turn, and vprv
much to their.‘ annoyance, exercises all his
blandislimerits upon their party. Nor is
their danger or regret diminished by the
fact that, whilst their instruments of seduc-
tion wcre honeyed words, his are the lucra-
tivc offices of Government. ‘ ‘
Tlie Jr:-at noli-ticalcvent of 1840 had an
I
\-
that of a'mere change in the high function-
aries of the nation. " It was to bring about ii’
radical improvement inpublic policy. ‘ And
what. after that event, was the manly. liberal
and patriotic course which the defeated par-
ty should have pursued? It was to hive
cheerfully acquiesced in the will--of the peo-
ple, proclaimed by an unexampled and over-
whelming majority. They should have satd
‘The people disspprove of our system.” They
require a sound currency of uniform value.
They are opposed to the Sub Treasury.
They demand a distribution ofthe sales of
the public lands among all the States. They-
insist upon an honest and economical admin-
istration oftheir public affairs. ,They are
opposed to the encroacliments of the Ext.‘_cu-
tive‘departii'ient and require saluta ryrestraints
upon its power. \Ve shall continue, by free
discussion and fair arguments. to recommend
our measures. and expose those ofour polit
ical opponents; but they are entitled to it
fair trial of their system of policy. and We
will make no. factiotis opposition, nor thI'0\\'
any unreasonable obstacles inltlieir way.-
Above all, we scorn to employ any arts to
Sl‘(lllC8..fl'Om the path of his duty the man
who has reached «his elevated - station, in
spite of our strenuous exertions against him.
by the confidence which they generonsly,re-
pos"e_(’I,_in his honor and fidelity.’ _ How ._»{ far
the leaders of the other party have conform-
ed -to this upright and straight-forward
course, past and d lily passing events stifli-
ciently testify. They prove that the acting
President and the party which has assumed
the name of Democratic without the least
color of title to it, are now completely iden-
tified, closely United, one and indivisible.—
If, in the sequel, they should find 'llltfl an
inconvenient associate. they have nobody btit
theiiiselves to reproach.
The last war with Great Britain- taught
the patriotic lesson that, during a contest
with a foreigii power, it is the duty of all
parties cordially to unite and to give to our
arms the greatest possible eff?-ct and vigor,
and that any party which violates that prin-
clple is sure to loose the public “confidence.
Our experience in ii season of peace will.
I trust. inculcate another important lesson.
that treachery and pt-rfidy, are alike detesta-
ble at all times, and will demonstrate still
more clearly that, invaluable btit too oft+n
neglected truth in public affairs, that honesty
is the bé st policy.
It is painful even to gaze on the picture
ofthe tidiitinistration of the General Govern-
ment which I have fuitbfiilly sketched. It
would have been happy for the people of [hi-
United States if it were a mere fancy-piece
to survey. But their long, general, and in-
tense etiibarrassnients have unfortutintelv too
severely assured them of its actual reality.
It would have been a much more agreeable
task to me to portray the purity, disinterest-
edness, honor, probity and fidelity of all in
charge of our public concerns; lbe wisdom
oftheir measures. and the consequent gener-
al prosperity of the country. But we know
the nature, extent and cause ‘of the public
disorders, and what is no less llI‘lpofl.t!l]l,[l)t-_-it
remedy. That rem:-dv is in the hands of
the people. Under other forms of govern-
ment, where public spirit is not entirely
crushed by arbitrary power. the p-'0ple
would long since. have sought redress by vi-
olent and convulsive means. It is otir pe-
culiar good fortune to have in the ballot-box.
a I'Pmt’ll_V which supersedes a necessity of
resorting to them, and which is quite as effi
cacioiis and more ccriain as well as more
peaceful than the use ofthe bayonet. And
it affords me inexpressable pleasure to say
to you, that it is my firtn belief, from all the
signs of the times. from all the causes now
in operation. and from all the information
which [derive from every quarter of the
Union, that a great and glorious deliverence
awaits use that the People in 1844 will nobly
vindicate their rights and manifest am-w their
capacity for self government by a ‘triumph,
more briliant, more decisive, and I hope
more auspicious than that of I840. That
accomplished. most ofthe views of public
policy which you suggest will, I trust, be
enforced. and we shall once more behold our
country honored and respected abroad. be-
loved and prosperous at home. and steadily
advancing in the path which leads to great-
ness and grandeur. H. CLAY.
BUFFALO HUNT.
This novel spectacle came off yesterday
and as anticipated. was attended by an im-
mense concourse of people. At a few min-
utcs after three o'clock the herd of Buffaloes
were let loose in a circular area enclosed by
st fence and railing. French. the hunter.
dressed in appropriate Indian clothing and
motint.£?,t'~.l_\0n ti fleet grey horse. uttered an
Indian whoop and pursued them. After
playing with them about two tbirtls around
the space he threw his lasso and captured
one of the herd, but when within about three
eigbts ofri mile from the starting point -the
whole herd broke through the inner side a-
mong'tbe multitude.-—Flight in every direc-
tion became the general order. and the route
extended on all sides--the trees became plu-
ces of refuge and every hole and corner
which promised security was tenanled.—-
Meanwhile the hunter held on to the capture
ed buffalo, untill in passing ti imiisby plac-
the horse sank knee deep in the morass and
be bad to let go the lasso. when the animal
made off and joined his kindred fugitives.—
French soon liberated himself and again
with lasso in band rode over the bill and out
of sight of the spectators. The buffalo
which escaped remained scampering among
the people for half an hour; but of the oth-‘
ers only five had been taken when otir re-
porter'left. About five o’clock three of the
herd came round-near the starting place,
when French mounted again to renew the
pursuit in earnest and requested the people
to make sufficient room. At the first throw
he caught one by the fore leg but in running
through a swamp the lasso slipped. the buf-
falo got free,——got among the multitude. and
then recommenced the flight and confusion
worse confounded. among men. women and
children of all ages, sizes and conditions,
with a most indescribable ‘variation of en.
cuiiistances. panic. and he-lter-skelter retreat,

all business men are convinced thatthi_s'eartli
did not in l827iretur?n exactly to utigovei'n-
ed chaos. Business was never better nor
larger than it is atprcsent; in fact, no great
business was ever done at all, so securely as
that whichis now going on. ,A very, large
portion of the transactions -are for cash. so
that whatever profit is made. is noton paper
only, but in reality. The long train ofiicas
ualtics. which drag after a credit’ business.
and often turn whul.._8ecmed larg‘e‘profits‘into
ruinotis losses. is not now to. be encounteretl.
There is a supcrab,undanc_e» of capital.
such as was never known here before. . and
ti destitntion of merchandise such as has not
been felt since the termination of the war
with England. The consequence has been.
a great advance in‘ almost‘ every thing.-
Stocks started first, as they always do.& now
stand twenty, fiifty. and a hundred per cent.
higher than they were six months ago. So-
gar arid molasses have risen fifty per cent:
coffee. tea. and all other groceries, tnore or
less. In dry goods there has been a clear-
ing out of great accumulations. which sur-
prise every body. Calicoes have risen 25
per_cent. or more: and all sorts of cotton.
wollen and silk goods have advtincr"-cl, some
five and some fifty per cent. Certain kinds
of coarse wolleiis are now imported from
England, despite all our protection and the
skill nurtured by it, and sold from seventy-
five to it hundred per cent. advance on the
cost. The importations of dry goods are
quite large. and are sewept off at good prof
its as fast as the importers can exhibit their
samples. A similar state of prosperity ‘ex-
ist: in the hardware, crockery, drug, book.
and in fact all kintls of business-—the ship-
ping interest almost alone excepted. The
business. large and profitable as it is. is vevy
littled tinctu red with speculation. It is the
straight forward supplv of the consumptive
demand. The superabundance oftnoney. in
Europe, where in fact’ interest has fallen to
almost nothing. will tend powerfully to con-
tinue the plentifulness of money here." We
shall go on however, with a gfadual return
to credits. Trade being found profitable.
will be extended until the capital of mer-
chants is exhausted. and they find it conven-
ient to deal on credit. This will ftirnish
money lenders with the means of making
loan°. find so we shall go on until capital is
otitrun by trade. and money rising high in
Vflll)t“,l'(’.pl‘t'SSt‘S the spirit ofexpansion. This
is the time for all men to make fortunes
who have selfcontrol enough to mind their
own business. and plod on deaf to the noise
of speculators who make fortunes in a day.
Mind your oivn business, and be not in Ha
htirry to get rich, are two rules which will
aliriost certainly secure pr-riiianent success.
Rt‘iIl estate has not yet advanced like
stocks or tnercbanrlize. That is always last
to move, and most violent when in motion.
Another year tnust adtl largely toihc wealth

during the last five years.

there was much professional rivalrv among

fications. fle pursued however. the even
tenor of his way, daily increasing in legal
and intellectual strength. to the mortificaiion
of his seniors. At length a case was called.
of a complicated character, and he appeared
for the defence. against such an array of old
members as had never before been retained
by a client. Upon taking his seat. after ma-
king a triumphant argum- nt, they said one
to another. ‘we may as well let that tall lm_1/
pass. for be will pass whether or not’ H--
did pass and his practice thereafter was the
more lucrative than that of all, the other
members oftbc Bar. And the powers of

Nnrel Illellin/l of Making SaIl—We
are informed that in digging one of the Salt
wells of the f{‘-|l'IflWh“l. a vein ofcarbureiied
Hvrlrogen (imfia mm-able gas) was strut-lr,
and that the gas comes up in large quantities
l'lllK"fl with the salt ivater.
The proprietor has contrived to separate
the gas from the water. and while the water
is cnnveved into the boilers through one set
of pipes, the gas is conveyed in another set
under the boilers, where it is infiimined. and
evaporates the water. Thus the same well
yields the water to make salt, and the fuel
to ova porote i‘.
We are informed that salt is actuallv
mantifacturetl at this well. at the net cost of
two cents per bushel. If nature continues
to ‘yield this double prnduct,tbis well will
be worth more than it silver mine.
