ernment which is best administeted is best;" but the administration of evey government depends on the men who fill its offices. No one can be ignorant of the fact, that the number of the executive appointments in the United S'ates is very gnat. Whether they be made with skill and discretion, oral random, is to us a mattei of hat importance The superior knowledge of chatacter which M-. Clay is allowed to possess, would enable him, generally, to decide between the conflicting pretensions of different candidates, in such maimer as would promote the public interest Scatcclyan application tou:d be mad, in which he would not have such a personal acquaintance with the candidate or the persons recommending him, as would render the presidential nomination something mote thao the cast of a die. or a blind acqui escence in the suggestions of the placemen and courtier of 'he federal city. This knowledge, of which I speak, has n t been acquired second -handed: it has heeu d"ri ed from personal observation, duiinga lo'tg c urse of public life. that particular kint which has hi ought Mr Clay into immediate contact with most of the politicians of the United States Indeed it may be affirmed that nonneofiiie p"es-nt candidates for the Presidency, h; s had th--; same npportuni tv fo' acquiring thL information, or '-an be successfully compared with Mr Clayas to the amount obtained: and in reg u! to his in I -pond nee and firmness ir ma king such appointments, there can be no doubt. No better eriterien can b; -b-tainedfor forming an opinion of the t nv character of an indivi Utah than is afforded by his past conduct. Dumg the whole of Mr Cla s political career, no instance of favoritism can be charged a gainst him. It is well known that Mr Clay has an extensive family connexion, many of whom arc qualified to fill public offices. No instance, however, e.jiir adduced, in w !iieh Mr. Clay has attempted to exeit, in behalf of his rclatations.

the influence which always annertaTns'fl

such statians as he has filled for main

years past. This fellow citiz mis I consider,

a fact ol no small importance. Sc I wou! ' respectfully ask you tocompare this conduct ol Mr. ('lav's, with that of many other members of congress. You will find that, in a majority of cases, your public servants have not been content with perfoiming the duties incumbent upon the offices to w hich they have been eh ?A. tc 1; but have made use of official influence to procure lucra'Le public appointments for their paiticu'.at friends and relations, without any reference to their qua'ifir tmns. I challenge any one to b'ing forward a shadow of proof in suppot t of any such a charge against Mr. ' lav. In my next number I propose to speak of Mr Clay's sentiments and conduct in relation to slavery SEVEN Y-S1X. ANDREW J RM)NT.
