TION

Men lately held in Washington city, we are
graiiliedj 10 find is receiving the attention
which Vic importance of the object merits.
Meetings have been called in Rock bridge,

otage might with propiety be classed with

for successful operoton.-I verify believe
that nothing is needed but the cxertions OF
ths talented men Of the Clay party in this
State to carry the electoral vote for him
Let them but meet the adversary on every
public occasion in debate, before the people.
