APRIL 81, 1881.

We have looked over the names of more
than 800 subscribers TO the notice which has
been published 10 Philadelphia by the friends
OF Mr.. CLAY. II is useless to deny the fact,
that we find among them the flower of the
Clay party in that City--men Of reputation
and of standing among their fellow citizens.
Ii is idle to shut our eyes also to the fact
chat the friends of Mr.. Clay, not only do not
- can to abandon his banners. but that thew
mean to push on, with all their force, and
with al! theirzeal-somotlme sapping some
tunes stormIng-in some quarters by add -ess,
to ull their antagonists TO sleep-and in 9th
srs by the most energetic measures to over
awe opposition But that Mr.. Clay is the
only man to run-that he will be run no,s;
and that he will be run after the next cleo
ton lis proposition no longer to be disput-
cd or concealed.-Richnond Enquirer
The Enquirer has been dreaming with his
ores open. Mr. CLAY abandoned! What e.
yer put that into the head Of the worthy ed-
torp Who 50 tratorious to his country as 10
propose ts himself such thing, even in tho't9
Who is there that would disgracefully aban
don cause to which he was attracted by
conviction that the interest and character al
the country demanded a change Of admins
tration, and that HENRY CLAY was the indi-
vidual best calculated, under all circumstan-
lofty and liberal course from which it had
strayed far away? Abandon his banners!
Give up the ship! What delnsien has pos.
sessed the Enquirer to suppose that any one
pretending to act from principle would thus
desert ais coiors, and like the Numidian horse,
go over in the midst of conflict to the other
side?
But the Enquirer, reused from its dream
Of false security, new sees Alright The friends
l. r. e. i. Al. l. e
the Constitution and Institutions Of the coun-
try, do mean "to push on" with all their
force and with all their zeal, but with as lit
tle Of the "storms" as practicable, although
not without accompanying gales The En
Quirer may prepare itself for the contest, and,
If assurances from every quarter are to be
relied upon, for defeat, which, it is hoped
that veteran journal has bv this time learned
enough of philosophy to bear with compo-
sure. We only wish that the incumbent
would withdraw from the canvass, and leave
clear field for the younger candidates.--
That's all.-.Nat. Int. .3pril ID
The "Hagerstown Mail" of Last week CEN
tains the following:
JACKSON MEETING -HAGERSTOWN.
A meeting Of the friends of Andrew Jack
son toek place yesterday afternoon at the G..
House; the resolutions and proceedings will
appear in the next Mail, and we are proud
to find that Washington county is still true
10 her first vote. She is for JACKSON.
The public may be enabled fully to appre-
cate the means by which the friends OF the
Administration endeavor to sustain its sinking
popularity, we shall state a few facts in rela-
ton to this meeting which is to prove chat
Washington county is still true 10 her first
ioye-that she is for Jackson"
A public call, through the Mail and by
means of handbills, had been very generally
made, for seine time previous to the meet
ing. The meeting was held during Court
week, when great many country people
were in tewn-notice of the time OF NEE ting,
which was after the adjournment Of Court,
was given by the drum-bundreds of people
were in the vicinity ofthe Court house, where
the meeting was held, and yet the number in
the Court house, we have been credbly in
formed, at no time exceeded the meagre a.
mount of twenty six; and when the question
was taken on the address and resolutions, the
majority was but twenty in faysr Of them,
there being but twenty three persons present,
two Of whom were Anti-J acksonites, and one
Of whom veted ia the negative
If the friends Of the Administration, in the
face Of facts like these will persist in attempt
ias 30 deceive the people of Washington
county as to the state OF public sentiment In
their ewn immediate vicinity, what reliance
can be placed on their statements in relation
to circumstances which do not pass under
their own observation? Certainly not the
slightest We trust, therefore, that their as
serhons will, in future, be received with great
eaution.-1orch Light.
