Mr.. CLAY AND EXGOV GILMER.

MR. CLAY AND EXGOV. GILMER.
The last Charlottesville Advocate gives
the following nnecdote;
When the regular session Of ISL had
commenced, it is said that Mr.. Gilme7
met MIR. Clay, and aluding TO a previous
conversation during the Extra Session in
which Mr.. G. had predicted change
against the Wings in the fall elections,
advancing he remarked, 81 told you SO,
Mr.. Clay, | predicted that Ohio and In.
diana would be lost to the Wings. Eve
ry thing | foretold has happened. You
find | am a prophet" cts true" was
the reply, "you predicted some events at
the Extra Session, Mr.. g., which have
happened and which it required no proph.
ct to toresce-but you did not tell me one
thing-you did not tell me all. You did
not prophesy that Thomas w. Gilmer,
elected in the spring, in one of the strong
est Wing Districts in Virginia, upon tue
declaration that he was erery inch a
Wig, would be found IN the fall less
than six months afterwards, recording his
vote at tho polls for rabd Locotoco to
him in the State Legislature I !
| believe that was not embraced in your
other predictions !"

The Locos were dead against giving the
people light, with the exception Of Messrs.
Avery, Of Burke, Wilder, of Wake, and
Wilson, Of Lincoln, it having been deter.
mined by strict party vote, that only one
copy should be printed.
On this occasion, Mr.. Francis, of Hay

converts to the Wing faith, hercabouts,
from among those who recently were
strong on the other side. One man told
us himself, that he had always stuck to the
party, because they protessed 10 be such
friends TO the poor, but, he said, he found
out when there was any occasion for sub.
stantlal sympathy, that they were the last

be getting along better. than if they had the
majority. They are cool, discreet, but
resolute aud tirm while the Loco Foco
