IIENIIY CZ.AY. The intimation which .Mr. Clay has given that lie will not seek a re-election to the Senate of the United States, and indeed does not desire it, but on the concontrary would much rather prefer the retirement of domestic life, has been seized with avidity by the Van Buren faction. They would rejoice in their good fortune, to get Mr. Clayout of the Senate, And they hail as an omen of their perfect control of the country, any disposition on his part to retire from a station, be has rendered one of the proudest, to w hich an American Citizen could aspire. Mr. Clay has been and is an American Senator, lie maybe individually claimed by Kentucky, but lie has incorporated himself in the very existence of the whole cotii'edaracy. No narrow policy has marked his course. His falcon glance has ranged over a boundless field. His breast has been a rampart to the constitution. In the darkest hour he has stood by it. Fearlessly he has battled w ith the mvrmidons of power w ho would blot out the record of our freedom. Beneath the fire of his eye and his burning words of indignation they have quailed and fallen back. The faction now swaying the destinies of this overnment, wc will not disgrace the name by calling it a republic, are afraid of Mr. Clay. They fear the impetuosity i t Ins "eloquence tti.it Knows no obstruction. Tliey fear his tireless investigation. They fear his firmness which will speak out their corruption in the very teeth of their power They f, ar his weight and influence with the p oplc whose bold champion he has ever !evn. .should an liurcn succeed, which lor the sake of our liberties mav Heaven avert, in: wnl lie doubly need per'n-uee and his famei mere.

Wc give the following eloquent extract irom a late address ol tlie lug Commit tee of the City of llaltimore, in behalf of the hero and statesman Harrison. "What do wc strive tor? Pure (Jovernment, honest administration, broad, sound, wholesome laws; the public good; the blessings (if national prosperity; the safety and perpetuation of republican principles. Tlie success of the Whig cause involves all these. I hat cause is identi fied W'ith strict observance of the Cotisti tution, with respect for the faith of trea ties, with scrupulous regard for law and order, with the promotion of great public works for the advancement of the nation, with the preservation of a sound and unvaryingcurrency ; with the policy, in short, that shall encourage the labors of the industrious, protect their earnings, ilill'use education, morals, and religion amongst the people, and curb the wild and lieencious turbulence of those who delight in misrule. A hat do we strive againsl? Against an organized party whose leaders acknowl-J

none, but taking up and throwing oil' their principles to suit the occasions of the day a party la ish in promises but slowin performance; who proscribe or threaten all who oppose them; usurp all powers they covet; break down and despise all laws that impede them. This party have imposed upon the nation, as a candidate for the supreme Uxc xutive office, an individual who never enjoyed their esteem, and w ho, until he became their parasite, was loaded with every expression of their dislike. Wlr.it has Martin Van Uurcn done to work this change? lie hai bwrc;! Info re ir cfii'f. lie lues Hiked the dust at the Ihro's footstool, and he has risen a regenerated man. lie enjoys the enviable, irr-rmi-nenee if having out si 'ripped all bis f llocJlalterers in his zeal of adulation: he has iron the smile if his master, and the decree hies gone forth that the faithful shall ' fall down and irorshii the imai whi':h Xrfiuehddirzzar the h'in has -sit f." No man in the ranks of "the party" is so rash as to claim for the favorite the smallest modicum of popularity. He has done nothing for the nation. No public law is emblazoned with his name; no benefaction owes him the tribute of an advocate; no speech, even, is recorded, which attests to the country that their lerks in his bosom one spark of American feeling, one lofty noble, republican sentiment. His highest glory is that he has served under his patron; his strongest claim to the People's choice is that in his youth he crept into oflice, and that age has found him still holding on to its allurements; his brightest hope of success is found on the pleasure of his Chief, manifested by the imperial rescript which has ordained him to the succession; and this hope he has confirmed by promising the continued enjoyment of "the spoils" the officeholders, faith to "the party," and by pledging himself to a blind and indiscriminate adoption of every wild fancy, unconsidered theorv, and mischievous vagary of policy w hich, for years past, have been promulgated in llio o?it-ial nirt.- if tlC 11 csiil..,u. The time is come when the magic of the President's name is no longer to enchant the People. Van Ibn'cii has nothing of the brilliancy of Jaeksouism in it; much less has it the charm of that boh! and out-speaking spirit which won the respVct even when it did riot gain tlie suffrage of the voter. All that is absent .Much more is absent. The favorite has neither scars to show, nor .-a-rviee, nor popularity. It is now to be determined, till these being wanting, whether the American People are to be cheated into a President bv the mere stratagems and deceits of partv diseipliur; w hether the free voice is to be stilled; the proud independence of our eiiiens is to pe suodm d: that mile ?vcrv c w!i he s lendin a n it he loke. enci which, of old. prompted to think for him elf. to spea thought, and to stand by what wit. tout tlie (car of any power but his God.

and dissolute among the poororthelistless and sensual among the rich; not those who I . . , 1 want no government, because they require the most; not those who would stab our constitution, to the vitals, commit parricidif on the country, and gorge upon her carcase; not those who make an aurtion or brckerasr of patriotism but I mean the momentum of society, those who do the business of the world, laboring in their respective vocations, in peace, piety and order, and to whom the world of right belongs, who fulfil the destiny of man "Hv the sw eat of the brow, shalt thou cat bread." I have said, sir, that the Whigs; of Maryland compose a disinterested part of this

community. 1 hey are not seeking the j

power; they w ant ' no tiartizan President, of persecution or proscription. Among the best attributes of the American character are forgiveness j and generosity; .Americans hate not their ' antagonists in peace or in war; those they j have injured they delight to indemnify, passion cool w -o ii. l.,t J lorn of their hearts a brotherly love, w hich . 1 prav may never be extinguished.

A foreign diplomatist, sir once mistook for a phenomenon, the fact that a secretary of the Treasury should retire from oflice in penury, leaving untouched the coders of the public, which his genius and wisdom had contributed to fill. About forty years ago. General, and about the time you first became a public servant. Prince Ta'lvrand, early in the morning, entered abruptly the apartment of one of your most distinguished cotemporaries, declaring that he had just beheld a glorious, an almost incredible sight: "think you not, sir, it was the rising sun that I have been worshiping. No sir, it was Alexander Hamilton laboring for his daily bread." General, there have been such men among us; men of natural greatness, and primeval simplicity. Hut, in holy words, it is written: "there is none righteous, no not one, there is none that understandeth, they are all gone out of the way; They are together become unprofitable, there is none that doeth good no not one." Madison and Marshall have just gone from us. Hut we pray God (and trust there is no irreverence, upon great occasions, in calling upon his Holy name) that he will approve you at the hand of a surviving low, to retleom stud nuvo bis pcopie.

We have seldom seen so brief an address so full of interest. How statesmanlike, ,ov full of good sense, of w ise council, of human feeling and honorable sympathy!

I consider the present Administration of the Government of the United States as having announced a systotn of policy in direct hostility with those principles, and thereby encouraging Georgia to usurp powers of legisla on over the Cherokee nation which she does not of right possess. Such are my opinions, which are expressed at your request; but they are the opinions oi" a private individual, which can avail you nothing. What ought the Cherokees to do in their present critical situation? is a most important question for their consideration. Without being able to advise them, I sc-e verv clearly w hat they ought not to do.
