Ho may receive the homage of the supercilious millionnre, the parse proud man of thousands, the unprincipled --speculator, who grasps at wealth regardless of the peanut used to obtain it; the hordes who scorn to la borand who gain a subsistence by their wits—these y shout for and glorify the federal leader, for his . triumph would be their gain. Bat the honest, frugal, hard working people, who produce the wealth of our (country, tan never be per s uaded to admire or support a man so destitute of the leading ~ r inciples of a pore °publican as is HENRY CLAY; nor can they believe that he %vita is cherished by the bankers and stock-job bers, who have within the past few years robbed the - people of so many millions, is a fa recipient of their favors. Theleading Clay men in this state know that this feeling exists against the man whom they wish to force intothe Presidential chair, end consequently they dare not bring his name boldly beforJ the people. In t - read fo ':: . o '---- -onvention, we observe that the eans — trof Clay is not mentioned, but the notice is publiih a tinder the caption, "Harrison Convention."
