% It is known that the National Republi.
cans prefer HENRY CLAY-and why do
they prefer him {? There is not an intelligent
man in the Union who requires an answer
to this question. He has advocated protec-
tlon-internalimpro Union but he
voted for John @. Adams. He thought
jackson would make bad President. Here
then is his great crime. Did not Van b.
ren--did not Jackson--did not Calhoun adj.
vocate the same measures Now where is
the difference? Why, Henry Clay pursued
his object as Statesman ought to do con-
sulting the general good--while the others
were looking out for ways and means to en-
trap the old dominion particularly. Cal.
houn has got hold of STATE RIGHTS and
STATE REMEDIES, and Van Buren, has got
hold ofthe Bank--and thus Virginians are
once more to be duped. and the general well
rare lost sight of
Its little extraordinary that the chan,

cal cast, while the rank and file pursue a
different course. With this class we firmly
believe Clay is gaining ground,

CO The Editor ofthe New York Star re-
marks-'It is amusing to hear Van Buren,,
in certain company, talk of his democracy.
Why, he is the veriest little aristocrat of his
inches in Washington. See him Struggled
in one corner of his splendid coach. and a
pair Of horses which cost him $1,000, bis
English coachman and footman, with blue
frocks--large silver buttons, and top boots,
and the little lord with his feet cooked up
on the broad cloth cushions, slmpering to
one, bowling to another, twirling his gloves
at third. "Bless me p said an honest old
Undertook farmer, as the splendid equi-
page whsked by him on the Pennsylvania
avenue, ''how this world wags. When |

little Matty was the first one who came out

WATCH with f.negold guard or chain
attached to it. He detached the watch
from the guard, and pledged it with a
gentleman IN Romney last week, the
watch has been recovered, but the guard
IS still lr' possession of the thief, unless he
has disposed of it very recently. Clifton
wes seen in Cumberland, Md. on the
evening ofthe 18th inst. He is a Tailor
by trade, but gambler and thief by prac-
tee. He is perhaps twenty four years of
age, about five feet ten inches high and
pretty well made-is toerabIy fond Of

recollected was green dress coat (sum<
mer) white panlaloons--no vest-and a
straw or chip hat, he had also pair of
black pantaloons with him. He walks
with his toes out consderably-talks
smoothly, and will tell you he has seen
your connexions or friends lately and pre-
sent you their compliments. l will give
the above reward for the apprehension of
Clifton and the return of the guard, or

guard, and ell reasonable expenses ifCif-

"Desperate engagement between the U.
States Dragons and Pascnee Indians
By gentleman from Washington county,
we learn that the United States Dragons
have recently had bloody fight with the
Pawnee Indians, in which the latter lost
80 killed and $50 prisoners. Our infor-
manl derived his information from a young
man who was at Fort Gibson when the
prisoners were brought in under the es.
cort of detachment of the Dragons.
The remainder OF the United States forces
belonging to the exploring party, were
lief, in pursuit of the Indians. The Paw
nees are said to have fought desperately,
and 10 have killed eight OF the Dragons.
several Usage prisoners were retaken al
the same time, from whom it was pretty
satisfactorily ascertained, that the young
man whom the Pawnees took from the
Rangers, last summer, had been killed.
These are the only particulars that our
informant was able to collect. To-day's
mail, or that of Saturday next, we hope
will furnish the details of this affair.""
