The Cincinnali Herald has an article showing thot thcre are strong probabilities that Henry Claywillbe again nominaied for President by the Whie pariy. Il draws this conclusión from the pieference expressed for him by Whig jmrnals and conventions: bccause hc is the choice of .hc western Whigs: beciuse ho has the confidence of the party more largely, at the North and the South, than any o'her man: because thcy some anticipate that Calhoun will bc run as the Democratie candidato, whence they would hope to secure the votes of liberty men for Clay na the least of the two evils: because he is ihe favorilo ol the Whig party proper - viz: ihe Capitalisis, Manufacturcrs, Bunke.s and Slavcholdere: nnd because they hope to break up ihe Lib erty party before 1848, and thcreby remove the greatest obstado to his success.ftHenry C. Wright, the correspondent of the Liberator, writes from Scotland: The Message of Mr. Polk excited only disgust in this country. 1 had access to more than ono hundred papers, in which allusion wns made to the Message. - They all noticed the lying assertion, that the government secured the blessings of liberty to all the inhabitants. Many of them asserted broadly, and justly, that Polk was a liar - that he intended to lie, when he made that assertion - that he knew he was lying when he snid it. - The papers here put the 3,000,000 of slaves side by side with that declaration.
