IL has been said that this Convention is an adj
mins'Iaton measure; and that Mr.. Clay has had
tue chiei agency In getting 1t up. We remarked
that notwithstanding the long notice that had been
given In the Northern States of the meeting no
movement was made in the two Counties in Virsi-
mia, that have sent deputies in Ohio and Ken

more objectionable aspect OF cG6Gl endeayoring

to eupidily and sectional aggrandizement.
We have been struck with the following remark
Of MIR. McDuihe, IN his speech On the fourth OF
Jolly:
g speak advisedly when say the GO woollens
bill" has been taken up by Mr.. Adams and Mr..
Clay, as political huer by which they hone to
pze the great state OF PennsylV snia from her po-
siiioh IN the presidential contest. MIR. Clay, in
he course OF an eieciioneerng tour through Virgil
MA during the last summer, boosted that the vote
OF Pennsylvsnis would be diverted from General
Jackson 10 MIR. Adams by the means of the Tariff
question. The " woollens bill" therefore, was
soI up for twofold purpose of granting bounty
TO the New England manufacturers Of woollens.

While we have his speech in our hands, we
