Clubs, Conventions, Speeches, Orators haranguing in
all directions, and Wing Emissaries travelling through
all the counties, are the Order of the day. Re-
publican Champions are not wanting to break a
lance with the Knights Errant.-hmong these scenes,
is the shock of arms which was witnessed in Old
Surry, last week, ut the Court house. We have a
full description of The rencontre, which we shall
duly lay before our readers. A private letter repeats
that the speech of General Pegram, the Wing Elec-
tor, was a "failure, and that some Of the Oldest Wings
declared their opinion, that the General was trying to
deceive the people Mr.. Atkinson of the Senate re-
piled with great power and effect. ale proved him
self more than enough for the chivalrous General. =
''By way of showing you (says our Correspondent
how much the Democracy is frightened by the Wing
brags daily dishcd out to US from the Federal cities,
and served up by their travelling Orators, all the ne.
cessary papers were signed BY two responsible gentle
men, betting 81 900 to 800, that Martin Van Buren,

A letter from Orange county says, that all the slang

Indiana comtngi-EXtract of a letter to the Enquirer
Office, from Indianapolis June 2i:-"You may depend
on it, as far | can form any opinion, of The prospects
and the result of the elections Of this State, no doubt

OuIo.-We have received very late and most cheer
ing intelligence from this State. Our parole accounts
concur with our private correspondcnce-and they are
both in unison with the following extract from Tie Co.
!umbuS Statesman:
sour Prospcds.-Nerer before had the Democracy
brighter prospects. Every thing comes in well for US.
To one change against US, we have three or four to
offset. From all quarters we hear the same cheering
returns. Log cabins, hard cider, and coon skins dis
gust an honest and intelligent people. All want to
know what are Harrison's priacpieS-they know Mr..
Van Buren's. The real log cabin yeomanry are not to
be made fools ofb the display ola chicken crop. They
cherish too dearly the homes of their childhood-the
scenes of their early attachments! They remember too
well the associations OF a bright winters night freside,
which brings by them the home and the object of their
love, for one moment to be quilted by a base insult to
them and their moss grown dwellings, and by men too,
who would spurn a cabin, aud lf they had nothing to lose
by it, spit upon its occupants, No, the time OF tins fool
cry has gone by. From every State there is the most
cheering intelligence; and before November next, what
an awful rebuke will roll back upon the offending heads
Of the present contemncrs of popular rights and pop
ular intelligence, The people will trIumph-but
sseternal vigilance is the price of liberty.
