OF the Smte 1t is true, as we stated at the time,
that in their public convention in the Hall of the
House of Representatives, the electors voted riua

(hnving probably learned that their mode of voting
in the morning was illegal aud would vitate tho

publishing, with great gus,o, letter from Charles

to remind the ocos, that the fact that the commits.

expenditure for beds and bedding, and what, for

the compliant that the late administration had
spent money for unnecessary articles. Else how
is IT, that after an expenditure of 100000 since
1929, it is necessary to furnish lhis lnrge quantity

therefore, 10y this proclamation, convene the two

the Globe says;
"Thoroughly oAious to the Republican party

disposition - disgusting to the great mass of the
Federal party, from the violent, rash and runous
councils by which he has involved it in defeat and
disgrace again ard again ere long he will be fol-
lowed only 10y the dregs Of Whiggery. The

We doubt not the Globe will do any thing and
support any body 80 defeat Mr.. Clay; but we fas-
cy that Blair 81 Rives cannot so easily manage the
locofocos, Now that the spoils nre gone mud the
power of the Globe waning, its editors will find
that thot s,nds, WHO have been their cringing
slaves, will no longer regard their commands or

Plan Of Defence. A merchant of New York
has submitted to the Presiden, an original plan OF
defence Ton The city, which is said to have been re-
ceived with much appreciation. He proposes to O.
rect three towers at various points, each one TO be
200 feet high, and IS feet square at the base ana
on the summit of each, 10 place ten guns mat VIM
throw shot of 100 pounds. In the centre OF each
will be placed n steam boiler, TO defend II from
attack, and a SO to heat shot. The cost he thinks,
will not exceed 100000; single shot would
send any shi, in the harbor 10 the bottom, and the
whole may be completed within sixty or ninety
days.
