HENRY CLAY-THE PR ESIDENCY-
HONOR TO NEW YORK.

The views contained in the following let
lers from Mr. Clay, which appear IN The \.
York papers OF Monday, must meet with
the hearty concurrence and appreciation Of
every sincere Wing. The sentiments are
such as we have had occasion frequently 10
urge upon the party. and we are gratlfied TO
find that Mr. Clay has so distinctly given TO
them the weight Of his authority. 1t will be
seen that the project of National Conven
ton for the choice of Wing candidate
meets his entire assent; and that he warmly
commends The employment OF all proper
means TO produce union, harmony and con
centration. He expresses his cordial wish
es for the success of any one whom the Con
venlion may nominate, and promises him his
earnest support.
We trust that all our prominent candidates
are actuated by similar views, and a similar
determination Mr. Webster has publicly

subject, and they accord entirely with those
Of the Senator from Kentucky, He agrees
with Mr. Clay, that the selection of the ndi'
vidual to carry out the measures of the

Governed by these principles, we may indeed

after the meeting Of the friends OF the Hon
Daniel Webster ns Masonic Hall, on tht
Gath day of June last and the appointment
of committee to correspond with the diff
ferent parts of the Union, Tor the promotion
of his election to the Presidency, a number
of the friends of Henry Clay deemed it i'm
perative upon them to do something to pre-
vent their lavorile from being overshadowed
and 10 bring his claims, at the proper time
and ina proper manner, before an unpreJu

solved by them, after due organization, L

John Bell complained most bitterly of the
course pursued by the chairman Of the
committee of ways and means, { Mr.. Cam
breling. That gentleman he complained
was so skilfpl in the management Of the
measures Of the administration, that he al
ways so arranged it when he introduced an
appropriation, to have some of the whig
members ready to sustain, and by this
means he bit the whig party and carried his
measures Why, this is the verytbest evil
dence in the world of the wrcng-headednes
of the opposition Of Messrs. Bell. Wise,
Biddle and Everett. Their lactious oppo-
siton TO every thing that is right and pro-
per is so glaringly wrong that their own
party cannot stand it; and when they come
out and expose them Mr.. Bell sees fit to
complain of the management Of the chair.

memorial is asking the house of represen-
tatives to enter into full examination oil
the matter, and to reverse that treaty on the
ground that the treaty was not made by the
Cherokee nation, Mr.. E. declared that his
only object now was to have it referred tc

pThe Hon. Ellis Lewis, and many
other distinguished citizens, have been
subpenaed from Lycoming county to at
tend the investigation of the West Branch
Bank concern at Harrisburg. Rumor says
that the preamble and resolutions of Mr..
Laverty published in our last are but a
tender prelude to the disclosures which
will be made by witnesses before the COM
mittee of investigation; and if this prove
true, the little monster will have to yield
up its chartered privileges before it can

REMARKABLE DEATH OF A MAN FOUND
equity OF MURDER. In case of trial
for murder, which took place at York,
(Peen.) few days ago, the Court had on
motion of the prisoners counsel, suspended
the decision of the case until Saturday af-
ternoon week. Their further action was
rendered unnecessary by singular circum-
stance. On Thursday morning preceding
the appointed day, the convict Daniel John
son, was found lying dead in his bed,
without marks of violence, and with the
appearance of having breathed his last with
out struggle. so smooth and undisturbed
was the bed clothing. A coroner's inquest
was called, the body was dssected, and no
signs of the decease being caused by vio-
lent means having been found, verdict
was returned that he "died by the vista
ton Of God" knife, we'll sharpened,
was found in the stocking Of the deceased,
from which the inference had been drawn
that he intended to commit suicide. Snch
an instance Of the death of a prisoner, be-
tween verdict ofguilty and the sentence
of Court, has probably never bsiore oc-

man suggested as proper person to re-
ceiye the nomination of the 9Th of March
Convention as a candidate for Governor
We are pleased to sec this, equally on ac-
count of his private worth and political IN
tegrity and because he not only merits any
distinguished honor which may be confer
red upon him on account of his acknowl-
edged qualifications, but because he has ac-
quired his popularity, his fortune, and oc-
cupied several distinguished situations OF
honor and great trust, from the plainness OF
manner, evenness of temper, asslduous ap'
plication, and unbending integrity, which
have characterized his course of life from
his earliest day until the present time. II

N@ In our last number we republished
an article from the "Lewisburg Standard"
in reference TO the installation of the Rev.
John p. Hudson, of this place, as pastor Of
the Presbyterian congregation at Williams
port, and also alluding to some private trans
action from which the author desired TO ex-
exculpate Mr.. Hudson, on account Of his
clerical character. Now we regret that the
first publication was ever made; for from
our own knowledge, it requires contra
ton, and in the following communication
from the last "Register" it will be seen that
Mr.. II. is placed in quandary not well
becoming either his profession or his char
acter as a moralist.--We would "rather
suffer for the truth than let the truth suffer-"
and from one whose character I" is dearer
10 him than life," we shall require such
morality-such performance of moral OBJ
4 ligations-as will make him trustworthy
amongst men, and incapable Of trifing with
the affections of virtuous woman. From a
knowledge'of the name, character and situ-
alton Of the author of the subjoined article
we feel assured that Mr.. II. will have am
\ pie scope to free himself from the "deadly
q eviP' which must proclaim his at least CEN
surable conduct until he establishes his in
nocence. And when his friends employ
the public newspapers to deny truths, and
cast distrust upon the veracity ofan unofen-
ding female, he must not censure thos G
who have kindred feelings in opposition
and who are guided by those pure and
honorable motives which neither belong tc
ahyprocrite nor heartless tamparer at the
shrine ofhuman love. We insert the ar
tclO from the "Regisier" without further
comment.
