Although we feel any thing but respot for the po litical course of the editor of the Gazette, yet when he does tell the truth, we are willing to give him all the credit he deserves,and knuwiug that his veracity at the present time is of rather a doubtful character, we take the following extract from a speech made by Gen M'Cal .la, at Nashville, to corroborate the charge of gambling ;which our neighbor made against Mr. Clay. 1. In noticing an assertion in the Junius Tracts, that itrE L Mr. Clay had not played a game of cards for many Gazelle years, Gen.

Nr Millar), of hlechatticsburgh, Beaver Co., we have another remarkable evompie of this species of emancipation. The Bible teaches us to choos atine "able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hg "covetousness." "He that ruleth over moo must be just, ruling in the fear of God." Now even without the "Urim acid Thutnmim," it ran be easily seen that a duellist, a slaveholder, a gambler and a profane man, is the reverse of the character above required. This 'christian and old antimason" once believed that the Bible was a complete and paramount rule of action, as well as faith, How has he been coverted to a contrary belief ? By the transmuting virtue of an old phrase, which has served many a turn before, to wit, "in ex traordinary circumstances, something extraordinary may be 4101110-:7, And if Mr hi"M• has made an "ex traordiatitiillo#e"of his presentilotermination to vote, he has gteitstinty furnished reasons fur hilaction, equa le l ly "extnibraiiiiiry..."

Its wonderful powets of moral alchymy nr'afurther de veloped in the fact, that notwithstanding "the absence of principles" which this christian man "holds to be requisite in a person whom he would voluntarily choose to be the ruler of this nation,"—thongh the principles be absent which are requisite, rind of course cannot be done without, and though he cannot on that account voluntarily choose him, yet they are not noccessary, and he can choose him;--bet no doubt involuntarily. This is no misstatement. For ho tells us that all his friends know that Mr Clay is not his choice. That cir cumstances have occurred which have ruled him out, and prevented him from having any agency in choosing either of the candidates for the Presidency. Notwith standing all this, and although ho not wily has bad no agency in choosing, but has such objections, as all his fi bends know, to Mr Clay, that he could not have ckoos- ' en hint, still he had determined to "make a selection I with a conditional reservation." "This reservation I he [ 1] ever made in favor of" this nuns "Mr Clay." Voluntarily he could not choose, yet he "had to make a selection or stand still." It is to be feated that be will not 'stand stilrnow, since he has taken the dotn ward path--.from the "high moral" stand of princi ples which he once held to be requisite. But Mr M'Millan asks, "am I acting inconsistently with high Moral duty t" No, no; if the one „half of what he has said be true, he cannot be said to be act ing at all. His choice being involuntary, his action. is only that aim automaton or machine, the choice vas made without any agency of his. But if she other half is true, he is going in opposition to divine touch invs under the cover of "extraordinary circumstances:" He may take which side be pleases, for indeed he is on both sides. The sum of all his reasoning goes to prove, that in 'extraordinary circumstances" we may do evil that good may come. This is very 'extraordi nary' indeed, coming from such a quarter. However, Mr M' 'is not the fit st that has taught that die end sanctifies the mesas. But still his understanding is not quite satisfied with this 'involuntary selection.' And he has been &iron to create for the occasion a "tremendous crisis: . a crisis "upon which bangs the salvation or destruction of this nation." Accordingly he says. 'reckless to maintain, carry , out. had consummate their. wicked and traitor ous designs, the northern men of the party have leagued with the.south, and joioed issue upon the annexation of Texas, or a dissolution of thetTnion.' And further, the candidates, Polk anti Dallas, 'bath stand openly and avowedly pledged to carry out this most wicked and nefarious scheme.' This is making a crisis with a vengeance. And it awns very strongly the magni tude of the obstacles which Mr M' had to surmount, as it appeared to himself. Ali, this thing of a 'chills tian and anbid antimason" voting fur a slaveholder, a duelist, a royal arch mason. etc , requires that he become „stninpily bewildered" indeed. But it will not long satisfy. to assume that the guidance of a. ship and the chief magistracy of a nation, are parallel cases. Civil government is an ordinance of God.— And God has requited certain qualifications in inlets, which he has not made necessary in the captain of a ship. The triMstnutingairtne iivery mach needed here, to change the art of navigation intua divine ordinance. The legs of the lame are not equal; and the limping of Mr L T M'Mihlan in this volunteer exhibition of his views and intentions, is indeed painfully hobbling and erverse. MOMUS. Fed. i 0 0 FUR THZ PUST. DR. GAZZ AM AND NIKB HIS DORA BESOLUT lONS. SRS E ntt unsi—lt is an old maxim that "there is no disputing about tastes,". and I am not going to meddle with the mooted qfiestiun between Dr Gazzam and the President of the late slemocrn tic meeting. Dr Gassam says, "the Presidentof the meeting thought it not in order and wo. in good wt.•. to express sym. pathy for Governor purr, a persecuted, poor, living sufferer, On the same occasion that unfeigned sorrow was expressed for the death of the distinguished, vir tuous, and prosperous Mr Muhlenbere." He then proceeds, (with what taste may be inferred frosts the above extract) to show that the President was wrong in his decision. The allusion totbe "prosperous Mr. Mahlonbeig," considering the occasion - of the mernifig, end the circumstances of his death, certainly was in good taste. • Dr Gazzam's views on this subject are quite que, and if carried out to their legitimate consequen ces, would turn even the idle ceremony of a funeral t) useful account. When a great man dies, the people who assembleta see him buried, instead of shedding 'fruitless tears over his grave, Would avail themselves of the occasion to Oat , out the abuses of Government, or denounce the usurpations of party. Some senti mental persons might object to this, but when we con sider that life is short, and time is fleetirg, every sen sible man will see that it would be a great savirg of time, and consequently of money to the people. If I were to make any objections to the course pur sued by Dr Gazzam, it would be on the ground that it was disrespectful to Mr Dorr himself, and attached too little importance to his cause. When we wish to denounce the banks, we cull an anti-bank meeting . , when we wish to, approve the tariff, w e call a tariff meeting', when Mr Muhlenherg died, we called n meet ing to express our regret for him, and our choice of Mr Shenk ns his successor. Why, then, when Mr Dorr is/condemned like a felon, to imprisonment for life, fur supporting the liberties of the people, why should we nut call a Dorr meeting? Does Dr Gazzam suppose that the people would nut assemble at such a the/fucall and that it was necessary to take advantage of neral obsequies of Mr INlultlenberg, to obtain an expression of sympathy for Mr Dort? In this I think he was mistaken. For my own part, I have more confidence in the patriotism, the good feeling, the ar dent love of liberty, and haired of tyranny, of the Democracy of Allegheny county. I am sorry the Dr did not agree with, me in this; but, as 1 said before, "there is no disputing about tastes " But there is a more serious consideration connected with this subject. Suppose Dr Gazzam as commander in-chief were leading an army into battle against na merou.s, disciplined, and well appointed enemy; would he consider it a wise or warlike stratagem *hen the " 7;p' din arabisttle bad co o mend jkli:set liar, tanglingand disiaildwi h . whothrt:thei`. 4 bit uld • - ttwO tow wads or paper multi% or weber they should rism.:Aidelline ijgend or Nth two install Ana if he would tmusideii thtiiits uarroorthy of his military genius, how edit be as &leader of the Democratic party, in then:66a of a cola:Mint greaser than that of Waterloo a conflict whirl' is to determine the ascendancy of Democratic` or of 'Federal principles, and the salvation or perdition of American liberty, how can he, at an hour' like this, seek to breed clisseivions among respectable and useful memkers of his party opoa te terestirmwhether the taste of the Presidiinfa the lute meeting is refined or gross, or whether the Secretory arranged the praccedbaga in the moot become. ing Maui? Fur be it from me to deny to Dr Gazzam any por tion of tho honor or to seek to rob him of ono sprig of the laurels which he has gained or is likely to gain by being the champion of Mr Durr in Pennsylvania.
