Wc canñot yet eee tliat we were ín tJiut conclusión. Perliaps our readers can. Mr. G:ecley admils that it was formeily understood, of course, that "immorality would be a ground of bjeclion to any caiHidaie for the Presidency." Perhaps he will admit that it is now an object ion. ïfso, we have n valid obj-cíion lo Mr. Clay, tlial he s a duellist 'm praciieeand principio. An inimornlity, says Webster, "is an act or prnctice which contravcnes the divine commands, or the social üuties.' Will the Tribune contend that Slavebolding and duelling are not immoraüties? The Tribune intímales that we object to Mr. Clay because he is a citizen of the South. Nut so. That i.s no bar whatcver to our Riipport or s'irTragop. Mr. Birüby is a nalive of KenUicüy, and haa resided the gtcater part cfhishfe at the South. But we do admit that :iconformiiL lo the institutions' of the South, In wit, slsvcholdiiiij and duelling- aro insuperable birs to our support.
