Litchfield enquirer., 1838-08-30

LOGo 1Oco8, knowing b1ut otiletWl9o Lnste ~ no
chance for them to retrieve their fast sinking party,
have been endeavOng TO infuse into the Wing ranks
spirit ofeaOusy and mistrust by some of their lead
ING and most influential men. They have inculcated
the idea that Mr.. Webster was jealous Of Mr.. Clay.
Mr.. Clay Of Gen. Harrison, and Mr. White Of all Of
them. Most OF these stories with regard to the three
former gentlemen have been put to silence by their
open, friendly intercourse but we did not until lately
know but that there might be some ground for
friendly feeling with regard 10 Judge White. This
however is now put to silence. public dinner was
recently given by the citizens Of Knoxville Tenn. to
Mr.. Bell and Judge White, at which each Of them
made an address.
Judge WHITE" remarks one of the papers from |
there, spoke TOR nearly two hours reviewing, most
powerfully and eloquenty, the past and present cOndl-
ton OF our country; tracing to the proper source the
rulD embarrassment, and distress that came so sud-
denly upon in the very midst Of highest prosper
ity. Wit, rdcule, and argumentative eloquence OF
the highest order, all mingled happily in his remarks
the present Administration. He had spent much Of
his life in the public service OF the People, but the fires
ofpersOnal ambition dead within his heart. His
only ambition was to see his beloved country prosper
Gus and happy. lie spoke Of Mr. Clay with the feel
ings Of one who knew and appreciated his worth
patriot and statesman, and declared his determine
ton, should the coming Presidential contest be be-
tween that gentleman and Mr. Van Buren,, to vote for
Henry Clay. His remarks were received with re-
peateO tokens OF appreciation ana applause, ana we
doubt not will be deeply treasured and approved by
his patriotic constituents. His high political integrity
entities his sentiments to great weight, and they will
receive it, No man in America enjoys IN more
limited degree the love and confidence Of those he
presents than Hugh L. White.
News has Just reached US, that Thomas P Moore,
notorious Free Tom Moore, attacked the Senior
Editor Of this paper in the yard Of the Harrodsburgh
Springs Mr.. Moore advanced upon Mr.. Prentice
with drawn pistol and fred at him; Mr.. Prentice
drew second pistol, when Mr.. Moore quailed and
said he had no other arms; whereupon Mr.. Prentice
from superabundant magnanmity spared the mscre-

We find in another paper a long account of this at.
fray by Free Tom himself but as it does not attempt
to nvadate the above account except so far as that
he says his friends instead of himself made the remark
that he chad mother arme,' we do think it worth
while to publish it, Prentice rarely comes GU, second
bes, either with his pistols his pen. The quarrel be-
tween him and Moore has been of several years stand
ing; and Moore says he has not yet done with him.
After Prentice has thus spared his life, if he should
again attack him, he must be most consumma,ely
mean fellow, even in the eyes OF protested duelsts.
| Sudden Change of sCeather.-Last week was one of
uncommon hea-the mercury going up to about 80
almost every day. Saturday, towards night, thun-
der storm with sprnkng of hail arose, the weather
suddenly changed, and on Monday morning the mer-
curry showed only 40 degees-a change in Sc hours of
about so degrees
9erA Loco Foco inquiries Of US, now that there is
but one paper printed in this county, whether we will
insert political notices for that party? In reply we
cay, that during the almost ten years that have
published the Enquirer, have never refused to do
so and such notices should be couched in respect
fu language. probably shall refuse. Is this
satisfactory? We have among our best paying sub
scribers goodly number of Van Buren, men, whom
we hope before we leave them to convince of the err
ror of their ways. We never however shall consent
to assume-for it could be nothing but assumption
that most despicable Of all positions for political pa
per- neutral aspect.
I A CAUTION.
Mr. ApAMs-As cooking stoves are now used by
almost every family. it may not be improper to eau
