ARISTOCRACY.
Several of the leading Whig members
of Congress, and oilier public and pro
minent men of Oliio, having been de-
nounced as " Whig Lordliugs," bv the
Treasury papers of that state, one of the
Whig editors has answered the libel in a
mmiicr equally summary and aaiisf.cto-
ry:
Now who are the leading Whigs of

i tion, thev were obscure boys, born amid
of the distinguished men of the sttte.
True, General Ihrrison' birth was

From lb Mobile Mercantile Advertiser.
We copy the following communica
tion, redolf nt with eloquent tributes to ihe
worth and merits of Mr. Clay, from the
pen nf a South Carolinian, from the New
York Evening Star:
i We derogate from no man' rightful
pretensions when we assert that the name
of Henry Clay would provoke less rc
tioml jtulousy and opposition, than any
of the erndidatra now before the Ameri
can people. (Ii character, position,
principles and hilory, present him at a
fair and honorahle COMPROMISE for
the North and the South, the East and
West. lie hat acted faithfully and inti
mately w ith every sertion of the Union.
The South cannot forget him whose cla
rion voice, in the second great struggle
for independence, cheered her drooping
spirits and gave her heat! for the unequal
contest; she mutt regard with grateful
emotion, one who has twice thrown him
self into the perilous breach, and on the
Missouri question, and the Compromise,
risked his name and his fame for her and
for the Union. The East cannot hesi
tate to support one who ha done such
long and arduous battle for her w ho tie
ver deserted, never betrayed her; who
waa true to her interests when it not on
ly required courage to defend, but wis
dorn and skill lo understand and lo save
them. And will ihe West count it a sa
crifice to give hrr richest jewel an appro
priate setting; to reward with an enihu-
j siastic well done the long Iried and devot
ed servant the fire of whose youth, the
vigor of w hnse manhood, have been spent
for her! Will she not eagerly rally in
his aide, and crown his gray hairs with
honor! But let the North aud the South,
the East and the Went be forgotton. Let
party be buried. Let Henry Clay, the
.imerican citizen, be brought before the
.liner icon people; and at he tlandt un
covered in the presence of hit country.
Jace to face with hh countrymen, tluilt
he not be nailed ana gieetedus a Nation

tizens look upon their friend of many
years; the patriot whose pulse has ever
beat true lo ihe national hnnoi; the pilot

who has conducted them in safety through
ihe most wintry storm; when busy me
mory carries them back to the past, and
recalls in bright review the long line of
his illustrious services, shall not gratitude
break into plaudits, and .her voice be
heard as the sound of many waters, pro
claiming him worthy to be their future
chiel! The American people iriVf be
just lo him and hemselves; they will pay
the accumulated debt. They will not
cast that debt on posterity. The stain of
ingratitude shall not rest on their memo
ry. They will, themselves, redeem their
own obligations. No American Plutarch,
in recording the eventful atory of Henry
Clay, shall be permitted to put in his
