Library of House of Repreerniatives, April W, 1844. (Signed,) SAIL S/MoNS. of Conn. ANDREW KENNEDY, or Indiana. 3oas P. HALE. of New Harnprkirr Monis G. Ltcinaa, of New York 'f ;twins .1. H vett ,of Indiana: There is the opinion entertained by Mr. Clay . of the w . orkingmen of the country.. as deliberately express ed by him in the House of Representatives! 'Will the Whig leaders endorse the sentiment and say that the farmers of Pennsylvania who chop their own wood., are entitled to no more respect than the slaves kept by Mr. Clay to perform the same kind of labor, and that their triers and daughters are on a level with the slaves that do the work of his kitchen? These are the sentiments of the Whig candidate, and of course we may consider the some are entertained by his fol lowers. A short time since the editor of the Gazette declar ed his intention not only to oppose, slavery in the abstract,bitt. to oppose the election of slaccholders to office. How has he kept his promise? Why, he is not only supporting a - inan who is a slaveholder, for the highest office in.the cinnitry,.ltut one who has 'c losed togive up his black slaves unless he can be per mitted to have sokiteoner, and who believes the work ingmen of the .country and their wives and daughters entitled.tissio more respect than the unfortunate be ings that he holds in bondage to fill his coffers or min ister to his pampered pride. Truly the Whigs lave queer notions about the equal privileges of citizens' under our free institutions, when they will support a men who avows such principles. The American has for some days past been retuning the friends of President Tyler on what it is pleased toconsider the weakness of their numerical force. This is what might be expowed from the Clay urgana;. it is very proper that-airy should denounce biza(whom they worshipped as "honest Jobe Tyler" in 1840;) for preserving his honesty, notwithstanding his short and unsought association with the whigs. AVhatever Mr. TrtEn's strength may be in this city, it .is certain that no man deserves to be more high ly esteemed by the people of Pittsburgh for the many Savors he has bestowed upon them, and the encourage ment babas extended to our manufacturers and enter prising mechanics. While CI.AY, the candi date of the American, was using his influence in the Senate to defent a measure in which our citizens were deeply iuterested,Joutt TYLER was bestow ing employ caent on our mechanics and encouraging our manufac turers by approving a Tariff' that the lending friend: of Hr.trßY CLAY auempted w‘•throttle." Yet he is now re% lied, and Clny, the avowed enemy of every great measure of importance to our city. is glorified by the men who nssume to be the special friends of the manufacturers and mechanics. Our factories and workshops have received more •real herse6t from President Tyler, than ()OM any pre ceding administration, and his liberality has been the Moans Of spreading a knowledge of the skill of our workmen throughout the union. And what has Clay done for 140 Nothing but to utter the ,grossest shinier* against our city, and to use his efforts in the Senate to defeat a measure whirh would be of immense advantage to our citizens. Such is the dif ferences between the claims of President TYLER and HENRY CLAY on the esteem and gratitude of the people of Pittsburgh. The one has conferred im portant benefits—the other injuries and ribald in sults, end the whip organs tru^ to their character in all things, worship the reviler and denounce him who has acted the min of a friend. rgP 2 We learn that Mr. Clay has reached Virginia en his political tour, but we have no information of. the snoyements of the pilot fish, the Buckey s Baer 'widths Kentucky borer. Mr. Clay has been placed in what is called a "fix" by the honest voters of the "old Do minion." They have been putting questions to him especting the annexation of Texas to which they re tuire categorical answers, but which Mr. C. appears .n no manner dibposed to give. It is Jost like him. kt Mobilo he dodged the question, by saying he would ;onsult the wishes of the people; at Charleston he tanaged to evade it, and at other places he declared is opinions would be given when he reached Wash• ington. Mr. Clay is playing the cunninggamo of having no opinions for the public eye, but we apprehend that he will find that the people are not to be deceived us they were inlB4o, ani that ho, at least, is the last political aspirentin whom they arc willing to place a generous umfidence. fli. opposition to the tariff; his duelling propensities; his slavery principles; his immorality and profanity as charged en him by the Gazette, most all be atoned fur before he can enpect any favor, from the people.

It expresses the honest sentiments of the democracy of New York, on the Tariffquestion, and repels the federal slander that the democratsare opposed to that measure: Resolved, That the history of the-present Tariffshows how vain is the reliance upon federal support for the promotion of the true interests of the country. That measure was carried by democ, alic votes, toititcput which it would-hate been loaf—killed by all proottaing and never performing widggery.

THE SOUTHERN FACE, We find by the Boston papers. that Mr. S. S. Pren tiss, of Mississippi, has been speechifying to the wh-gs of that city, mud if we may judge from the earnest manner in which thi Poet calls upon its whig totem: porurv, the Atlas ,to give a full report of the speech, it would seem it was not very palatable to the taste of the whip in those "diggings. ' The Postadds :—" It was severe upon the northern whig policy of dragging the tariff into the politicalarena. It was time, said Prentiss, that "this greet national question ceased to be the shuttl-vock of politicians." Prentiss went for a revenue tariff with discriminating duties. He rep resented Clay as a moderate tariff man—as condemn ing high protective duties on the one hand and what be termed ultra free trade on this other. This is the southern face of Mr. Cisy. Here he is held up as a protectionist of the first water. Prentiss said that the Whigs ditrnt agree on the tariff nor ou the bank question,but they did 'agree in denouncing locofocuistn, e. aoraocracy!"

After a storm comes a calm." .Tbe old adage is pretty well illustrated by,the present pos . .ure of atTaira here. The exci..ement of the trial and the debate bus been succeeded by the most complete repose. While Mr. O'Connell remains in England to receive the full est measure of sympathy and support, the a g itation here is confined entirely to the meetings of tholepettl Association. At those meetings. however, the cone determine tioo to persevere is still manifested, and the idea of compromise, latterly pretty freely discussed„ out of I doors, is utterly scouted. Indeed, Mr. O'Connell himself, with the cheers of English mooting* ringin in his ears, expresses, though with groat moderation, his determination to persevere, is the letters which he writes from time to time fot the purloins ofbei t og read to the Association during his absence. Akio; with these the business of — keeping up the steam" is man aged by nn occasional energetic speech fronseeme of the young lawyers=—by the ettinest nod laborious atten tion of Mr. Smith . O'Brien to business, and by the constant noscomprumisedeclarations of MrO sons in his behalf. On the (i . th inst, Mr O'Connell attended, by invita tion, a meeting at Birmitigham, caned . proleisedly "to protect the riberfios of the 4nglish from the dangev to which recent proceedings in Ireland had . exposed them," but which in eff,ct, was a meeting of sympa thy with Ireland.

He thought the whigs no better than the torir 'Auld look ed for success from the union of Irishmen of all classes. Mr Smith O'Brien thought this Whigs a shade bet ter than the Tories. Sir R. Peers reproach as to the venality of the Irish Parliament came with an ill grace from the ChM of statesmen who had been the sedt.cers. The promised benefits had not resulted to Ireland from the Union He would tell them candidly, that Ropeul was hopeless as long as the vast majority of the Pro testants and of the land-owners were opposed to it, end only one-third of the Irish members would vote for itif introduced into Parliament. It was only by the union of all classes, that it would be rendered more safe forth° ministers to grant than refuse it. He would not then say what ulterior measures should be adopted, but ho never despaired of ultimate success. The rent for the week was announced at £305. It will be seen that the rent is again on the decline, and that there is great caution both as to the ' , Thole of operations and as to the tone used towardsindividuals; in short, moderation and conciliation are the order of the day. Nothing is said as yet, in orout of doors, of any u lterior plan s or proceeding—further than the oft declared general resolution to persevere— to havo "no c „ n r, p ronlise."
