the last two years. an increased stride has
been taken by those Of our fellow citizens
who deem their daiy to oppose repsbli-
can goyernment. I'hy county has been par
ticularfy spnoyed bytheir pretensions. The
not because the numbers were actually less,
bu, because they we're divided, and the fed
tersl party, as the inevitable consequences,
were fast gaining She sscendancy. : Il 4

cause. II was found in the Preside ntiai con-
trovcrsy. Itwds Ascertained that the fedes-

holding everything. Abody Of fedora, dsi-
eg0ies go to- Baltimore to nominate Mr.. Clay
ands Mr.. Sdrgrdsii. Mr.. McClellan, is the
delegate fioln' this county. Something must
be done TO countefact this proceeding, or the
Democratic party would bo extirpated. The
Hon. David Keyes, whose name 10 we'll known
among us. beholds the impondng danger, Ind
steps forward TO save the county. This pa
triot and soldier ofthe revolptioo, as we all
Know, was an ADAMS ELEcToR, appointed
by the State, and since the election Of Gen
Jackson, has been a strong friend Of Mr..
Clay but the RECENT ASPECT or POLITICAL
AFFAIRS, has compelled him to look forward
TO the disasters which awaited the republi-
can party, of which he has ever been con-
spcuous member, and induced him to call
meeting. Upon this call, a very large pum--

whole subject was considered. The Clay.
partisans took the lead in the meeting. Il

party. Judge Lester, the Vice President,
Col. Cleavela6d, and many others, who have
been among the frst and most ardent sup-1
porters Of Mr.. Clay; now came out with full
and uneqpivocsl expression Of their sentS-

their support from President Jackson, came
at this meeting, and cordially united
with the friends Of the administration, and

Indeed, il may now be said, TINT in the
County Of Windhsm, there may not be ono
democrat who will vote for the CLAY ticket
made out last spring. The sentiments so
well asceftatned, that II moy be confidently
asserted that the federal party alone will be
found supporting the Clay ticket. This ia
our firm belief but if we arc mistaken, and
there should DO left some one or two individ-
uals, who belong 10 the republican party, and
who will still sdhereto Mr.. Clay such persons

The Convention At Hampton was conduct
ed with great unanimity end good feeling.
Nothing has ever equaled it 10 this County.
The democracy itself was there: ite princi-

Convention was held at the instance OF the
fI-mer supporters Of Mr.. Clay and terminate

both parties, which will be kept with fidelity.
Il is to be hoped that the democracy Of every
County in thoState, will follow this example.
