CCr" f he public are aware, of course, that

on Tuesday of last week, we replied to, or rather rondemued, an article which had pre viouidy o'prvatt'd ia the "Vauderburgh Democrat, whirh article erery man in the commu nity rrprdless of jjarty, joined with us in con demnicj as being not only uncalled for, but vul gar andattrocious ia the extreme. That reply was written by the editor of this paper, by hirnJ who known as the publisher and printer, aajtvith the exception of about three weeks during the last Congressional election as the sole edi'or of-the Journal since 1813, and who alone was responsible for it if there attached any responsibility to it. And this fact was and is known to the publisher, editor, and advisers of the Democrat. In that reply to the Democnt's charge against our citizens, it is true w e used strong and determined language, but we spoke the feelings and opinions of the community at large of , democrats as well as whig; au i we know that several of the leading democrats went far beyond our article-in search of language to express the;r-Ontempt, to his fate, of the man whocduld perpetrate such an outrage. Burning and withering as were our remarks, they did not merit nor did we dieam that we should be personally attackvl through the columns of the "Democrat, much Lss did we dream that the publisher or edkorcf that paper would suffer his columns t j be made use of toattack personally, in the most vite, slanderous and blackguard manner, a private individual, one wholly unconnected wiih tin: conduct of this journal, and who has not, with the exception of the three weeks men tioned above, hid ought to do with it. We know, a: nd so does the community, that the pcrn whose name is at the head of the Democrat is nor the author of the phragraph to which we alhid that he never receired such a communivatioa as that paragraph implies, but that he admitted the parapraph from a person who f. as thus been able to gratify his revenge and nisi: :r jinst one he dares not meet openly, and who i3 able, while skulking behind the nominal ditor of that paper, toenjoy an appetite tht the veriest cur in the community might well be ashamed to claim. Kr.::-vih at heart and cowardly by nature, the autLcr of that paragraph when applied to secretly by the poblisher of the Democrat to know if lie might be permiltol to give up the author as demanded by the injured party, at once skulked like a felon fron the light, and shaking and shivering with the fear of the consequences that vrere likely to ensue were his agency in the matter disclosed, craved and implored to be kept ia the dark; begged that his name might not be given, that the person wliof came stands at the head of the paper who-!.1 sinning consists in giving publicity to tr.e dirty thing would assume the responsiöility ' l-ven.theciiina ecfijor rf the Demo-J crit must hare felt. while li3tentrgto the leudins of this crave n-hearted wretch, the most utter contempt fcr him, at the same time he consented to stand inhis place. And such rrspon-ribility as he has assumed! Without cne d.'llar of property that can be comeat,and with no character to lose, good, bad, or indifferent, he has continued to secret himself in his family apartments ever since the publication of this dirty sheet, declining to expose his per son upon the street or in any manner or place that would give opportunity to the injured par ty.to meet him. This is ths responsibility he has assumed, and these are the advantages that have been taken cf a private citizen of our tov n. But we can inform the person believed to hare been the author of this cowardly act an 1 the person who made it publicy that the matter U not to rest.

Cassics M. Clay. The Philadelphia North

Antrican has the following scorching and withering article on the letter of Cassius M. Clav. We add also an extract from the Louis ville Journal. After this we do not believe there is a man in the Union but will despise and shun him: "Blow, blow, thou Winter wind! - - Thou art not so unkind 1. " Aa man's ingratitude." W?e find in yesterday's New York Courier and tnquirer, a letter from Cassius M. Clay, ... u:. i. i . : mi i uuicu e uazzara nouuug in saying will ue read with more astonishment and pain by all people in the United States, Whigs and JJeinocrats, the friends and the enemies of Henry Clay, than any epistolary atrocity which was ever before conceived in the brain of hatred or penned by the hand of malice. For the first time in his life, the a:ed Statesman, the vic tim of many wounds luflicted by the fury of -r ... I .. I ir .1 . r political animosiij uuua uimseu tue oujecioi ihe sympathy of foes, because struckat last by the dagger of one. who should be a friend one who ktill signs himself, and boastfully too, "a Win's" who bears the crtat name he now seeks to cover with dishonor; and beariug that name, and boasting that title, and rt calling the memory of the affection of 1841, exults, publicly, in the face of the. world, that he is now, by by the necessity of his nature, the tncmv of the man whom he once loved and vener ated." The change of feelinz is a miracle; the letter appcars to be an insanity, the character of the assault is wholly indescribable, because prodigious prodigious from the intense malevo lence ol sentiment and expression, and Ithe over boiling current of hatred, gushiug as from a heart where i; had been long treasured up for the day of vengeance. If we seek the causes of this most strange, most unnatural and most iniamous attack, we shall tmd them u a in v enough expressed in the letter, and of a twofold complexion. The original, or remote, cause, as pretended, is oue hat shocks the mo ral aense of every true-hearted man thai reads it, because it assumes the complicity of Henrr Clay in a scheme of assassination. "When you started, on the 14th of August, 1S15, to the Virginia Springs," says the audacious ac cuser, "leaving your friends and family to murder meia my sick bed, for vindicating those principles which you had taucht me. in vour speeches at least, 1 ceased tobe your friend, and Decame, oy tne necessity of my nature, your enemv. . It is true, the world never before heard of this crime of Henry Clay, or of this hatred of the criminal by the intended victim. A second provocation was required to goad the latter to retaliation; and the second cause, therefore, appears to le Air. Clay's letter of the 10th, annomination for the Presidency. That this latter crime is even greater than the former, appears from the fact that the offence of murder ous intention is revenged in the few brief lines a K . ... wntcn we nave quoted; while the offence of being a candidate for the Presidency, is the great subject of a letter covering nearly an entire, column of the Courier and Enquirer. I o expatiate upon this letter is more than we can attempt. It has made our heart sick to read it; and we would not inflict similar pain on others. We know not how anv man. a Whig. a Kentuckian, an American, could have per; anct-rpmattyTn j Courier cVjFnqqlrer; a Whig Journal, devoted tcrtaeJpleTra.3 of General Taylor, who, we are sure,, will be among the first to lament and denounce it, could have ever consented to print, it "disagreeing," as it confesses it does,"with most of its sentiments, and disapproving its tone, and especially could have consented to do so upon the llimsy pre text that the writer "signed it, "and thus as sumed the entire responsibility of what it conM ft . . I" tamed. it Dursts into notice, a proaigy as to place and time upon the spot where, andjust the moment after, the whole population ol the commercial metropolis oi th; Union bad done homage to the pure and Iotty character of .Mr. Clay, and while that whole city was ringing with the honorable testimonial which his great political antagonist, Martin Van Buren, had borne to his manly character and exalted virtues. It is, indeed, shocking to all the higher feel ings of our nature, to think that, at perhaps one and the same moment, the two writers were pennin their two letters, Martin an Buren, in the spirit ofa man. expressing a eenerous friendship, and Cassius M. Clay, in the temper of a tiger, a deadly hostility, and lhat the friendship of the one and the ferocity of the other were meant for him, the man of hislim the beloved of his country, the p,re at, the good, the illustrious Henry Clyr AWM American. Our readers, no doubt remember, that, soon after the Presidential election of IBM, certain centlemen, generally supposed to have been many in number, paid Mr. Clay's debts. The whole thins was done so secretly that Mr Clay knew nothing of the intention until it had been carried into effect, nor was he, even then, informed them of the name of a solitary indi vidual among the contributors. The managers vl tt.c transaction had the delicacy and the gen tleminly fteiing to UktiprrtHilar pains that none but the contribu'ois thmsf Ivts should ever know who had an agency in it. One ob jection to the proceeding, and only one, sug g sted itself to ns at the time; but that one struck us UrciDiy. it seemed to us, that, it any of the comiibutors should at any tiaie af terwards happen, cither with or wi t.:ut cause to have a quarrel with Mr. Cliy, lliey would have it in their power to taunt him with the fact of having assisted in the payment of aving ussisiea in me payment oi nis To be sure we knew that no gentleman debts would do this, but we apprehended that there might be among the many contributors one or more without just pretensions to that charac ter. This apprehension, we percieve, has been realized for the first lime in the person of Cas sius M. Clay. He rays tauntingly in his letter lie paid your debts. So nw the Hon. 11 CUy knows who one of the contributors was ana ne whioi course can promptly upon oas sius M. Clay far a statement of the amount o l.iscontribution, and require him to take' back his money. nether Lassius, in löll.availer himself of the opportunity of secretly laying Mr. Clay under a pecuniary obligation with the view of being able to taunt him with it upon some future occasion, knowing at the same lime lhat the illustrious statesman would scorn to accept such an obligation from him if a ware of its source, is more than we are prepared to ay. Cttssitis M. Clay in his letter avows that lie is Mr. Clay s 'K-rsonal enemy, and that he has from the nrcesntv of his nature: been so ever Ico' Aiu-f,l0i51 This certainly .seems Mrange, viswcdan connection with a matter, which, ever since Cassius M. Clay's return from .vie x ico, has been freely spoken of in Kentucky A. Kentucky ofT-cr, Li .-tit. Davidson, who wa cap'.urcd with C. M."

Since writing the preceding paragraph, w iave heard, on good authority, a piece ol testi mony confirming the statement of Lieut.. Davidson. Major Borland, who was one of ihe Encarnation prisontrs, and who was rerent! elected to the U.S. Senate by the Arkansat Legislature, stated, while in this city a few days ago, that Capt. C. M. Clay, when the pris oners were threatened to dr-ath, begged piteously for his own life; resting his petition upon the alleged fact of his close relationship to the Hon. Henry Clay, the friend of peace. Major Borland does not distinctly recollect whether the petitioner represented himself to the Mexicans as the son or merely the very near relative of the Hon, Henry Clay. Lieut. Davidson asseits positively that he called him self the son, and no doubt he did. At any rate his life was spared, and for lhat life, whatever its value or want of value n.ay be, it seems he was indebted to his exceedingly clamorous claim of close relationship to his illustrious namesake, to whom he now claims the honor of having been at that very time a personal enemy!
