call HENRY CLAY, 1113 intimate friend, adviser and
accomplice ?
It is ervidentifrom those facts, that the men and the
presses wlio support CLA Y, can have no serious übjec-
tiou to duelling, carried on in. its must wanton and
sanguinary modes. Why, then, do these men hypo.
critically denounce Mr Ln Blanche as 4 a niarden-r.'—
Because they know that in the North, the people have
a horror and detestation of dueling—because they
know, in the lunguage of the Gazette, there is en "in-
tluence abroad among the people in opposition to
DUELLING." "Decauic," , as hai been said by the
same paper. "the North, whein the most voters are,"
will not vote a man who "is a duelist, debauches or
profane." "They cannot," snys the Gazette, "do
so conscieteliously."
But aothese Crdciul cdit(irg surpn,:e that by affect-

committee and fix upon and arrange the sabjects,time,
&c., for a public discussion of the involved iu
the pretent contest
Two meetings were held, one on Faiday of last
week, the other on Tuesday evening last. Each com
mittee occupied a eeparaii room, and utter a number
of very "diplomatic" notes from the Whig committee, in
which it waa evident they sought some ourair ad‘atr

THE HARRY OF 'THE WEST makes a most mov-
log appeal to thn whip to come up and tmlnicribc.—
The appral is deeply touching, and from its tune we fear
that our friend Cook has rim himself into a difficulty
by smiting 114. paper on no more oubstantial backing
than toltig Fromm's. In the outset we warned hits
of the danger he was in, and directed his attention to
the unpaid Tippecanoe Dinner. It appears that
be neglected our counsel, and ho is now forced to the
disrtgreeable necessity - of imploriug them publicly to
redeem their promiles.
The appeal makes the startling development that. if
the Whigs don't subscribe for the Harry of the West,
our "workshops and factories will then hare to be
closed, and our honest mechanics again thrown out of
employment, their wives, children and friends again
know wlmt his to want flaid to eat and clothes to wear."
How these evit.i are to be averted by subscribing fur
the "Harry': i> beyond our ken, and to tell the truth
we duubt very much whether ally of them would hap.
pen even if thii little privateer of the Squatterskuuld
die to-morrow. There were workshops and facturiea
open, and the wives and children of our mechanics
had food to cat and clothes to weal, for uconaidorable
time before the Harry of the West made its appear-
gime, and we have an abiding confidence thut the same
state of things will exiet lung after that eheet has made
its final exit
But whedier these consequences would or could
not. happen, it is vary foolish fur the '.slurry" to Pup-
pose that the welfare of the mechanic* and their fam-
- dies could have any influence on the whig,a. if itcould
show themthat they %rook; advance then own schemes
