JAMES 6. BRooGs was appointed secretary
Messrs. Richard w. Barton, John He's
kell, WIN. l. Clark, Samuel II Davis and
John w. Page, were appointed a committee
to prepare preamble and resolutions, which
in due time they reported, as follows:
Whereas the friends Of Henry CLAY. in
this congressional district have been gratiii
ed at perceiving the concerted movement,
throughout the union to promote tho election
OF that distinguished and prosecuted patriot
to the presidency they would be wanting
consistency TO themselves, and a proper re-
gard to the welfare of our once happy coun.
try, did they refuse 10 respond TO the general
burst OF enthusiasm which is heard from e
very quarter, anImating the friends of Mr.
Clay to rally TO has support, and save the re
public from dISunlon. executive immortality,
and national disturbances of manners
They know the history of Mr. Clay's pub
lie life; and they feel proud assurance, that
while his opponents must concede TO him ia
Tents, energy and public spirit-he possesses
moral courage, and mistaken political inte.
gritty. and bold and fearless eIoqueuce. which
has often made the arrogance Of aristocracy
quail, and lighted up the mind of tho nation
TO the study Of It's true policy and it is be
level that under his guidance the American
people would he led 90 the altar Of true, las
ting liberty. In Mr, Clay they recognize a
native son Of Virginia, whose only nheri-
lance, touchingiy told by himself, was in
fancy, indulgence and ignorance" bat who

proved himself TO be the able champion q
popular rights, and true lAiend OF the 4
meEcan union.
