Cassius Marcellus Clay wrote The Life, Memoirs, Writings, and Speeches of Cassius Marcellus Clay showing his Conduct in Overthrow of American Slavery, the Salvation of the Union and the Restoration of the Autonomy of the States.

Edit - The question asked for the name of the anti-slavery journal published by Clay, not the title of a biography of him.
