The Wings promise themselves visit to this City
fror, Mr. Orator Clay the 22d February. Their
gan informs is, that he viii doubtless address the Wing
Conventon-And as do:t!ass, his address will be in
sufficient to change the politics oS Tie Old Dominion.
What! persuade her to vote for Harrison; Can Mr..
Clay hope that after his service Of term, the
ccssion may fall to himself; We know that this is the
visionary speculation Of of his friends The spell
of Mr. Clays oratory is not sufficient to rcrouonlze
Virginia. and to induce her TO abandon the faith OF
their ancestors. But is not Gen. Harrison also coming
TO warm Us by his presence We have strong autho-
ritv for such an expectation

The Washington Correspondent Of the \. 7 STIR
writes follows:
"In conversation few days since with Wing
member of Congress from Virginia, Senator Roane,
from that State, undertook to dcue the idea of the
success of Gen HARRISON and said that he did not be.

that Mr. Ruane never made such declaration about
Pennsylvania Neither lie nor Mr.. Buchanan has any

WHY,

Van Ness is abusing Gen. Harrison because he
signed law in Indiana thirty years ago, authorizing
magistrates to sell the services of criminals, to pay
their fine and costs. similar law has been upon the
statute book of Vermont from 1898 down to the pres
cnt year. In the mean time Mr. V. ~ has been q
member of the legislature, Judge, Governor, &C. &c.
Why has he never be,hought himself cry about our
law? Why are his sympahcs all at once aroused in
behafofMercS and murdererS in Indiana The rote
of Indiana shows pretty concusively what the people
think about Gen Harrison in that State and the votes
in this state equally conclusive as to what the poo
pie think of Mr.. Van Ness. But why has he slept
thirty years this AWFUL law in Vermont?

ESSEX MEETING.

The meeting at Essex, on Saturday, was q loud one.
More than twenty five hundred persons were present.
who listened with brcahcss attention for more than
three hours to the rich and persuasive eloqucnce of
Mr.. Sladc. During the time shower came up; but
man left the ground. At length the pattcring Of
the rain upon the umbrellas was such as TO drown
the voice of the speaker and he was obliged to sus-
pend. Whercupon the whole audience struck up a
Harrison song, and more singing we venture to say,
was never perpetratcd in the same time. "What is
such rain az this" said one old farmer, who had
sold his wool for 20 cents per b. and who had stood
the whole time uncovered, with one umbrella drip
ping into the back of his neck and another into his
bosom-"I say, say" said he, "what is such rain
compared to the reign Of Van Burcn?" Shortly the
cloud passed away, the sun shown out brighter than
ever, and the bow of promise span'd the arce from
west to east. Mr.. Sade then proceeded with his
address, and was listened to with eager and increasing
interest, till the shads of evening finally closed in
upon him. The people are aroused to the importance
of the crisis. Let the oflce-hoders trcnblc.

Gov. Chittenden sent to Pittsburgh to order
the militia back. The General, it will be
recollccted was mounted behind dragoon

escaped. Martin Chittenden and John

MAJOR EATON AND THE PRESIDENT.
For several weeks past the wing press has abound
ed in rmors of misunderstanding between Major
Eaton, our late minister to SPAIN and Mr.. Van Buren,.
Some Of the papers have stated that the difficulty has
resulted in an open rupture and others have contend
ed themselves with hints and nuendos The usual
givngs OUT of the party press, pass without no
tce but there is probably little foundation for
this story Our Paris correspondent, in letter which
has been nearly two months on the passage, writes as
follows:
Your minister from Spain, Mr.. Eaton, and family
left here few days since, for London intending Ia
embark in the British Queen. They have been styinp
here some time, and think from the Majors account
that he has been harshly used He says that the first
and only intimaon lie received, was letter from the
Secretary of the Treasury, which was as near as
can recollect, as follows
WAsniNGroN, Oct. Goth, 1889.
The Hon. JoHN II. EAroN->
SIR--l am instructed by the President to inform
you by your frequent and urgent applications to this
department, the President has consented to your re
turning home, and that your official capacity as mi
mister from the United States will cease from the frs
| of May next. All the papers and vouchers in you
Office you will place in the charge of your secretary
who will act till he hears from this department. ali
further instructed to inform you that this department
has instructed their bankers in London close you
account: Your accounts with this department yo
will make up and forward as soon as practicable
This letter was received at Madrid in December
| The Major says that it is id lic--that he ncve
requested 10 return homeland the only time that HI
ever made application shortlyafter his arrival, AM
that was on account of the disturbances. He then re
quested leave for short time to travel in Italy. TIL
Messrs, Rothschilds informed him that his account
were closed. Mr.. Eaton in reply was very severe
When he came here he made some heavy purchases
such spendid silver set rich set of curtains wit
carpets TO match, and other articles in the same style
amounting to $4,000. He took his draft, endors
ed by General Cass, to the Mcssrs Rothschlds to &C
the needful. After Mr.. II. had looked at the papc
he said to the Major, IF you will destroy that an

that Holmes committed it was clear as a mondays
sun land the murderer had fled to Vermont.He
was demanded of Gov. Jenson for trial. Gov. J.
referred the order TO Van Buren,, President of the
U. s., and he replied, that he could do nothing, it
belonged to Gov. j. to act in the case Gov. J. asked
the opinion of Judge Story, Chancellor Kent, and
Judge Prcn,iss and they agreed that it was the duty
of Gov J. to surrender Holmes for trial lie did it.
The order to deliver him up was stayed, and the qes-
ton was brought before the Supreme Court of Yer
mont. Judges Collamer Royce Williams and Red
field, agreed that Gov Jcnison had done right Now
the Van Buren, papers would not have Gov J. elected
for this act. What would be the result of permitting
cold bloodod murderers from Canada any other ma
ton TO flee TO our State, and pass unnotced for their
crimes We should be ovcrrun by murdcrers, and
robbers, and thieves. Has not Vermont the right of
protection from such characters Must she be ge-
neral reservoir of all the murdercrs in adjoining
tries, and they suffered to 60 at large? So say the
Van Buren, papers.
Let our free citizens look at this 1t ought to excite
all of us to rally for the Independent and honest Gov.

cofocos should be carried out l-Calcdonian.
