Alexandria Gazette

Mr. Clay has been named by two of the whig presses in Kentucky, to fill the vacancy in the Senate of the United States, which may occur by Governor Morehead’s declining a re-election. The Lexington Observer—Mr. Clay’s neighbor—re-publishes the articles of nomination, and regrets the agitation of the question. The "Observer," says, that "In regard to the other question—as to the return of Mr. Clay to the Senate, which is also agitated—we speak with great reluctance, since we know that from our location and vicinity to Ashland, an importance is likely to be attached to what we may say wholly unjustified by facts. We know nothing whatever of Mr. Clay’s wishes or intentions, except that we think we know Mr. Clay well enough to know that he will deeply regret the agitation of the subject in the public prints in connexion with his name. But what we took up this subject for was simply to ask of our friends if it be not best to let this whole business rest with the legislature, the members of which are just about as well acquainted with the public men of the State as we of the press can be."—Union.
