CANT.—The Philadelphia
'p,Torth American affects a great deal of, holy
horror ta d the contents oral tone of the
biter of C. M. Clay addressed to Henry
pay, an extract of which will be found in
„another column. It says, "To expatiate up

Would not inflict a similar pain on others.—
We:know not how any man, a Whig, a Ken

can assailed, daily and weekly, every demo
cratic statesman, with more malice, because
without even the personal motive it ascribes
to C. M.'Clay'l Who has assailed Mr. Polk
with more bitterness than the editor of the
North American? Who Gen. Cass? Who
Mr.Buchatian? Who'Mr. 'Dallas? No one!
The language used towards Mr. Clay by Cas
sinstis mild in cornprison with that daily
put forth in the North American toward the
President and his cabinet—toward every
Democratic statesman whose talents and po
sition indicate his future eminence. We do
not think much of C. M. 'Clay—we thought
him in 1844 a demagogue—but the North
American, before it, 'indulges in any more
such cant as the above, should recollect its
vindictive and senseless libels last fall upon
Gov. Shunk and his cabinet—should pluck the
Lem from its own eye, before it condemns
the mote in its brother's.
TRUTII FROM AN Esinstr.--The following
extract, from the Washington correspondent
of the New York Courier and Enquirer, is
rare specimen of Whig truthfulness; it is an
act of justice to the_ able head of the Treasu
ry Department, which nbthing short of the
moat successful administration .could have
evoked. We place it on record as a s.nt of
Jesus eatunc—an oasis im the barren wastes
of falsehood and detraction, with which the
leading Whig prima usually teem:
Erritscr:—`•Mr. Walker has certainly fi
nancierid this administration through some
very tight , place, and it must be conceded
that he has done it in a manner which not oln
ly greatly benefited the j Government, but
bore as gently. As possible, on the moneyed in
terests of the country. 1 Thotigh an ultra-
Democrat to the back-bone, he has never had
the appearance of arraying one class of so
ciety against the other; nor did he attempt
to build up one at the expense of the other.
He has been it statesman throughout, and the
saving of the present adrAinistration in: more
than one respect."

Out'telegraphic despatches announced last
week that Mr. Clay, the "great embody meat"
Of modern whigery, as his friends have de
lighted to call him, and the man „who, they_
soy, possesses the "brightest intelect of any
living etatesman," had proclaimed to the pee
pie of the United Stites in general, and his
whig friends in particular, that he had deter
mind to once more submit hii name to the
people fur the Presidency. The 'precious
document itselfis now before us, and were it
not well authedficated, we should be- very,
much inclined to believe it a hoax. Not Oaf,
Henry Clay isnot capable of perpettatitig just
such a piece of folly—of penning just such
absurdities as it contains—bath:it his friendi
and advisers, in and about Lexington, men
who have the reputation of being shrewd poll
iticians, should ever have let such a produc
tion see the light, is what astonishes us.—.i.
I,'lte public career of Henry Clay Is lull of
joist such fires pus as this, but the publiccerl
tainly had a right to app . 's° that experience
i
had taught him to consult more ilm,judge l
ment of others than his own. It seems such;
however, is n.tt the fact,, and as in 1844 11
is bound to kill himself with his, p - en. ', That i
howc% er, is a matter he must settle between '
hiinself and his supporters—it is no concern
°fours, except so far as it insures the Demo
cratic party a more easy and decisive victory,
Mr. Clay commences at the usual style
of all demagogues,by asserting his strung dis
inclination and unwillirigneas to again be
come a Pandidate, that be had, in fact, deter,
mined n hen he left hiS residence in Decem
ber last, "to, announce to the public, in :some
more suitable form" his "'desire not to be
thought of as a candidate"—"but on reflec
tion' he "thought, it, was due to" his "friends
to consult with them'boforo" be "took a final
and decisive step." Ho ,has done this, he
says and "they (his friends) have represented"
to him that the withdrawal of his name would
be fatal to the sucdess, and perhaps lead to
the dissolut:on of the party with which_ he
has been associated, especially in the free'
states. Certainly, Mr .Clay is a modest man,
a very modest man! Should he not be a can
didate, the party would be dissolved—fall to
pieces like a worn-out garment. How this
bold Assertion—this direct thurst at the Tay
lor men—will be relished by those editors and
politicians who have been laboring so indus
triously to push him aside, 'remains to be
seen. Mr. Clay says, if they had succ 'eded,
the dissolution of the whig party, in the free
states, would have been tin inevitable conse
quence—therefore, by the natural laws of
clinie and effect, these_gentlemen - have been
guilty of endeavoring to destroy the great
%%big party. Let them get , down on 0...dr
knees, and ins sack Cloth and ashoP, ,ail the
"great embodyme.nt's" pardon, Mr. Clay
then goes on to say in the opinion of those
friends that at no lormer, period did there ever
exist so great a probability of his election, if
he would consent to the use of his name that
in all human probability New York and Ohio
would cast their vote for him—that the former
would more certainly do so than for at,y other
candidate, and that Ohio would give her vote
to no candidate residing in a slave state but
him, and finally that there is a better prospect
then has heretofore at any time existed that
Pennsylvania would unite with them; and
that no candidate can be elected without the
concurrence of two of these states. Here,
it - will be observed, is another stab tit the
Tinier movement. He, alone, of all the men
in the Slave States can carry Ohio, and with
out Ohio chances are slim indeed. Gen. Tay
lor,resides in a Slave State—yet Henry Clay
could notjhave'aimed this thurst at hint!--the
man who is a "Henry Clay whit," and who
would have voted for hint in 1844 if he had
had-an opportunity! Certainly Henry Clay
would not have been so ungenerous! ,
s Evidently Mr. Clay has never heard of the
injunction, "never hollow until Your are out
of the woods," or he would not have been so
ready to endorse the assurances of his friends
that New York is certain for him. If any
thing will heal the unfortunate division in our
ranks in that State, and insure her electorial
vote for the nominee 'of the Democratic Con•
- vention, this boast of the "great embodyment"
will do it. There is unquestionably a large`'
Democratic majority in, that State, and when
the truth is brought home to them that their
divisions are exultingly paraded before the
country, by the whig candidate for the Pres
idene;y, as. evidence of his success, we much
mistake_if they will not teach Mr. Ileury
Clayili'tit silence is sometimes a political vir
tue'. But admitting that it does not, and that
division in our ranks gives him that Stale,
We'sitould like to know where he finds the
warrant to believe that Pennsylvania will
cast her vote for him? G ls, itin the 18000 ma
jority i.he gave against Irvin last fall? Such
a defeat as that we should think would satis
fy even Henry Clay's "anxious friends" of
their inability to carry the Keystone for
I ttim.
If, however, it does not, they coa'try it again
the Democracy of Pennsylvania are ready!
—aye ready!
But as we dive deeper and deeper into this
pronunciamento, evidence accumulates upon
evidence of the great age and failing intel
lect of its ayther. Only in this way can we
account for his extraordinary assertion that
many citizens, both "native and adopted" be
fore voted against him purely by mistake, and
are "now eager fur an opportunity" to vote
in his favor! Alas for his hopes! Alas fur
theblind infatuation which has lead his friends
to tickle, his over credulous ears with such
nonsense. Ile defeated in 1844 because the

anrapology for introducing the extract given
below, from a letter from Camelia M. CLAY,
tddiessed to ilarrai 0. - AT, recently published
in the New i r eekevui;ter 4. , Enquirer. The
author is so well knoWn, and has so many
!warm admirer's among the whigs in this sec
tion, that we:doubt not anything from his pen
will be ccceptable to them. We have some
idea, too, that for certf i in obvious reasons; it
will not find a place ' the columns of either
of our whig cotemp ,
i r 'ties, although. oof
them does prcifesa to ; be friem.ly to the nomi
nation of Gen. Taylor. The chaste and ele
gant manner - tt which the writer alludes to
iir t
PresidentiP taz will give uur whig readeis a
keener relish for what follows. Should' this
precious morsel meet with tliat, favUr at their'
,
bands which Ms previous efforts in their be-
half - elicited, we 'shall expect some handsome
compliment—saylalote of thanks at their
next public mi3etintr—for so generously open
ing oar colunaiis to such a characteratic whig
document. Ire v ill not. however, detain our
1 whig friends

the "gieatest Of living Statesmen!" , ,
"The Administration had all the responsi
bility of the lossiof honor, men and money,
by the war, our Virliig Generals reaped all the
glory. The success of our party was cer
tain. The public, with a unanimity never
before seen id this, country, looked to one man; 1
a man who, growing too great for the powers
at Washington, was left to perish with a
handful of men before twenty thousand troops
in the enemy's country. But ZACIIARY TAY-
Loa was not the man to die, to accommodate
either President Polk or his ally, Santa Anna!
The battle of Dueha Vista; fixed General Tay

enough to give a parting compliment to your

to himself to lend us once more to battle....

people was all a sham affair, in A word that
you would reluctantly consent to run again.
I am a plain spoken man, sir, I tell you I
know these men; they would not have ven
tured to tyke this step without your consent!

like political rums/nation! Nor will it lie

the spirit of violence which vm,r friends i n

MaxtcAN Arrxtes.---The I,Vasi ,
iingtoncor
'respondent of the Philadelphia Ledger, tinder
date of the 12th inst., write as follows:
"lA'ihife I am addressing, you something
whispers to the the war with Mexico is at an
end, and that Sur troops remain..there merely
oral charity to the government.‘
A rumor is in circulation, ever since the
latter part nflast week, to the efnct that San—
ta Anna has actually surrendered himself to a
colonel ofour army, on condition that heshould
receive a salves concludes to Vera Cruz, and
there be permitted to embark. I think the
rumor well-founded in truth, and am' under
the impression that Santa Anna is at this mo
ment, no longer treading the Mexican soil.
With the removal of Santa Anna, the prin
cipal danger of a renewal of hostilities is gone,
so that though not many Mexicans may be in
favor of accepting our terms of peace, their is
no one in Mexico capable of obtaining better
ones, or even showing any disposition to at
tempt such an enterpise.
On the other hand, it is quite true that the
negptiators of the treaty will be disappoin
ted in regard to the mode of payment of the
fifteen millions, and that Mr. Mclntosh,
Mr. Tristle generous patron and coadjutor,
may be a bankrupt in consequence. Neither
will I deny that the Mexican clergy are apt
to feel hurt at the abolition of their immuni
ties, and that' the Mexican' people will Share
in the dissappointment; but between feeling
hurt and feeliiig able to resist, there is a con
,eiderable diffe'rence.
mother or
The Mexicans may not like the treaty ns
sent to them riow, ratified by, the U. S. Sen
ate; and they may propose new alterations
and changes to gain time—+they may, for in
stance, demand ten or twelve millions down,
or in c atock cnovertible into money—but they
are bound to take what we are' willing to. give,
and are by this time pretty well reconciled to
the lass of New MexicO and California.
• -What will become of Mexico after the with
dinwalrof our troops, nobody can tall; but my
opinbm is that anarrhy.,and civil war will
soon-; nduce her to implore our assistance,
and that the States adjacent to the Union will
claim as a great boon to be annexed to the
United States."
