The revolution in America achieving Its indepen

fects all were aatpniUed at the perseveranre, yet
the unflinching courage, the patient endurance,
yet uncompromising patriotism which displayed
itself throughout the contest, no single effort mar
ked it, but repeated discouragement, and against
overwhelming odds waaas an incentive to success,
which has commanded the admiration of .the
world. France on the instant burst her fetters,
but unprepared for the grand change, the people
run wild in tbeir idea of liberty, and anarchy
aopplied the place of la v and aider. Half a een

. The indicstions of popular sentiment
are very, decidedly in favor- of another.
Ohio cannot bs relied upon for Mr CUy.
Two of her Whig reprrsenuves have de
clared upon ihe floor of Congress recent'
ly that the Whig party of that State trill
vote for no candidate for lha Presidency
who ia not a Wilroot Proviso man. Oth

be sxrluded f'om bis calculation With

bring my own mind to the conclusion that
Mr I lay's election is a probable, if arena
poseible event. Such . I kniw J'rom the
best source of information ia the opinion of
a large majoiity of the Whig members of
Congress. . - .
- There is another consideration of con
trolling importance to those. Whigs who
really desire the success of Whig prinei.,
pleas as well as the election of . a Whig
President If the three- great ' Free
States" as Mr Clay terms them) should
east their voles lor him and elect him
President he would necessarily have the
Senate, ani innat probab'y the lloase
of Representslives .gainst him during the
whole of his administration. Neither he
nor his frien'ils claim any increase of
strength In those smaller ' States where
wo must gain support in order to change
ihe present large Democratic majority id
the Senate. Hi nomination would be a
surrender of the Senste for the next f-)tir
years. The prospect "f carrying the oilier
House would be but little belter. Those
three large States have in the Congress a
Whig- represenlati n far e xeeeding their
popular strength at home. The most
sanguine Wnigs ha ve no hopes of Increas
ing it while prudent men look to its dimin
ution as a certain event. Then ' where
shall wa look to supply this deficiency, anj
give aajsnch an increase of number as will
secure a working majori'y 'in "the House
of Representatives? ' Unless we can secure
them some where success in the Presiden
tial election would only live u place with
out power. The real government of the
country would fall into the hands of our
opponents and we should secure but Hula
else than the distribution of thn "Spoi'si"
ihe) most embarrassing and lbs least des.
sirabU of. a II the results of victory. " Those
who espeet to profit by them willperhaps
enter with teal into the struggle; but the
contest will present but few attractions
to those who require higher and nobler
stimulants to political activity. I purpo
sely omit any persons! objections I msy hsre
lo the nomination or rleetinn of Ml Clay;
because I wish to avoid all questions which
are calculated to disturb the ealm juJgment
of ihe Whig pany. From these or other
considerations the Whig party of ihe U
nion un'il a very resent neri d had directed

the Presidential election. The Whig par
