LETTER OF THE COM MITTEE.
Nrr, Vnpt- Nav n I83S

'"'N'
To the Hon. HENRY CLAY:
Sir: A meeting of our citizens was held on the
evening Of the 29h inst, when the address and
resolutions, of which copies are enclosed, were
unanimously adopted. BY one of those resoln-
ions that vas, and animated assemblage commit
ted us the duty of inviting you TO pass through
the state OF New Y ork, bv way of this city, Albany
and Buffalo, on your return to Lexington, after
your labors at the present session OF Congress shall
have terminated.
The meeting lamcntcd that the gratifying spec
| tacle is not now presented by this state, which,
but for recent events, it would have exhibited on
your fl st Journey through its widest extent. The
desolation brought upna our beloved county,, by a
| bad administration If government, although not
confined any PARTICULAR interest, nor limited by
state boundaries, has in its fullest, been VISITED
upon us; md the infection was, perhaps, the more
J detecting, because it was dealt by those from
whom n ma jority of our citizens had looked for
benefits and gratitude. The indignatinno OF great
people has at length checked the audaclty. and
| foreshadowed the doom OF the destroyers Buoy
ant, therefore, with expectation, we can al ieust
| have the pleasure of showing you the monumen' 8
of former success and wiser counsels, and OF
pointing out you the of our future hopes:
| our common schools, oar canals and railroads, our
spacious harbors, noble rivers, our fertile FIELDS,
our shipping, workshops and warehouses, and oar
| mum erous and intelligent population, gifted with
ingenuity industry and enterprise, and not yet de-
prived OF all their energies by the incubus that ss
incumbent upon them. Amid the ruins which
surround us, it is consolatory that something
has been snached from destruction by the lnire-
pidlty OF yourself and your compatrIos; that thfrc
is much that was imlestrmtble; and that materials
remain, with which, under The guidance If pa.
triotIc SKILL we may hereafter be able repair the
fabric of prosperity.
Governed by these feelings, the meetings direct
ed us TO urge your acceptance ct the invitation
which we have above Communicated 1t will afford
US the highest satisfaction TO be enabled to state
to them that their request will be complied with
And you will, we trust, permit us to add, that the
pleasure of citizens in seeing YOU will be
heightened by the opportunity of thanking You il
person for the many and eminent services OF the
past !; of rejoicing with you in the promises of the
present; and OF confirming their hopes of the fu.
ture by communion with one, who, undisma, &c
by the perils that have from time To time threat
ened country, still pursued the onward path
and taught us, by his precept and example, nsve
TO despair of the Republic.
; We are, sir, with the highest esteem and con
sideration, your faithful friends and obedlent ser
wants.

Mr. Cuy.-Wc publish to day from the Nation
al Intelligencer the correspondence between a
committee of New Y ork citizens, inviting Mr.
Clay to visit the principal cities of the empire s,se
and tho reply of that distinguished senator, with
his reasons for declining the invitation. These
reasons, urged with the natural and hahitual
franknGss of Henry Clay, will convince all reason-
able men that he is superior to the tricks of ira
ding politicians that not even to pleasure himself
greatly, nor advance his political interests still
more, will he do aught that can be construed into
an attempt influence public opinion in his favor,
or interfere in the slightest degree with the per-
feet freedom of the citizens choice which should
| ever mark the selection of candidate for the
hirhes, office in their gift. We commend the pc
rusa of these two letters to readers, convinced
that they will find in them matters of both plea

GLORIOUS VICTORY! -!

We hare met tie enemy and they are ours.
The election terminated On Wednesday
most triumphantly for the Wings. They
fought the good fight, like men, like free
men. Never did we witness more untir-
ing zeal, more unanimity, or more good
feeling. The Wings have immortalized
themselves.
In the city the Loco's Dragged that they
would have large majority; they made
heavy bets on 500, and more They bet
on 400 and 500 in the First Municipality.
How they have beendeceived! The votes
of the First Municipality, their strong
hold, have been counted, and their ma
ioritv for Governor is but 176. Suppus
ing the Third Municipality to increase
that majority to 800, yett.e Wing majority
in the Second Municipality will be 500
thus giving us a majority in the whole cit.
: of 200.
The majority against us in St. Bernar'
was gained by sending over voters iron

versal success in 1882, by persons OF tho highest
responsibility in this city, as stated in the annexed
certificates.
! This medicine is highly recommended, and has
been extensively used in the above diseases with
such distinguished success, that the proprietor of
the recipe has been induced to offer it to the pub.
| lie in its present form in the hope that it may be
the means of relieving many of those who are
suffering under the scourge of our country. 1t 10
medicine possessing great virtue, and whom used
according to the directions has never failed of
| effectng cure, even in the most obstinate stage
of the disorder. 1t is not OF all disasrceabe, and
persons of the weakest stomach, and children NAV
take it with IMMUNITY. 1t strengthens the digestive
organs, creates an appetite, and seldom requires
more than one, or in obstinate cases, two bottles
| to effect cure. There is neither mercury nor
arsenic in the medicine, nor any thing injurious
| to the human constitution. The propretors arc
| so well convinced of its efficacy, that they agree
to refund the price of every bottle which has boon
! taken in accordance with the directions and has
not effected perfect cure of the fever & ague.

FOR THE SPECTATOR.
STAUNTON SCHOOLS.

The past week was period of no
small interest to the community of our
village and vicinity, from the circum-
stance OF the public examinations which
then took place in all our schools. Feel
ing that it was the duty Of all, who ac-
knowledge the importance of education
TO give their countenance and support,
however feeble, to the institutions of SO
important an object, | devoted some por>
ton OF my time to the exercises which
were going on in the male and female
Academies, and IN the no less interesting
school OF Mrs. Coalter, designed for
the instruction oil the younger class OF
pupils.
The examinations in all the schools
were conducted in the way best calcu-
lated to lest The acquisition of the learn
er, without an attempt at false represen-
talion aud it was highly gratifying TO
