CASE OF JoHy C.. CoLT.
On the opening OF the Court, Mr.. Emmett rose
and stated that tn y had been allowed till this day
in which TO prepare bill Of exceptions, but he had
found it impossible to get ready. He had rough
draft ,arly completed, which had been copied by
the prisoner himself 10 his cold cell, and he hoped
the ID strict Attorney would consider il bill OF
exceptions. They had found il necessary to en-
ploy the prisoner, as no means in his hands to
bear the expense Of a scrivener. They would pro.
badly be ready in day or two, and hoped the
Court would grant tae counsel a little more time.
The District Attorney remark cd that the Leeds
case in the Sessions Court " ould probably occupy
his attention TO the middle OF The coming week and
he could do very little in the present matter till af
ter that trial had terminated The Courif wsuld
probably adjourn, however, at 3 o'clock this after
noon and he would like 10 be p ,ced posse ssion of
as much OF the testimony and other natter intended
for the bill The gentleman could get ready, In
der that he might |, ok il over. He was perfectly
willing to consider the rough draft alluded to as
the bill until the gentlemen could perfect their ar
rangements.
IL was finally ordered that Mr.. Emmett should
furnish much Of the document possible this az
ternoon, and the balance on Monday.
The Court then adjourned.

MR.. CLAY IN NEW YORK.

The Albany Evening Journal, referring
to the nomination Of Mr.. Clay by the
Wing Convention Of the state of New
York, says: at is known that We were
among those who deprecated an early
nomination Of President. But the public
sentiment has determined this question,
MIR CLAY has been made candidate by
the spontaneous movements of the Pso-
pie"
This is the plain state Of the case. The
popular impulse cannot be resisted. Dis
appointed in public men, disappointed in
the results Of public measures, of which
great things had been promised, the peo-
pie in regard to political affairs were first
Indifferent through disgust, and then i'm
patient to fix upon some point where con-
slancy might be hoped for. This remark
applies in some measure to both parties.
For if the Wings have been deceived by
the executive of their own choosing, it is
very certain tina. the other party have been
deceived also--and most egregiously de-
ceived-in regard to nearly every mea-
sure with which they have been induced
to make experiments. The whole series
ofexperiments which the political quack-
cry Of their leaders INDUCED in, proved to
be signal failures-and they know it.
1t searching for some fixed point where
constancy might be hoped for, Henry
CLAY was seen to be the very man oecu-
plying it. His course has been consistent,
steady and we'll considered. He has held
on his way with an undismrbed mien
amidst the ruins and fragments of hun.
dred exploded delusions-and each as i,
burst gave an additional proof Of his own
foresight and sagacity. For upon everv
one of them the mark of his warning had
been put. The People know him. They
know where he is now and where he has
been all along. They can rely upon him.
His opponents know him to be above dis
stimulation or deceit, and they must res
pect the man if they cannot adop, his DO
litlcal principles.-Bah. american.

A YANKEE TRICK.

An lrishman, on Sunday, at Albany, got
into quarrel with some others. In the
midst of the fray an officer arrived
and attempted to arrest him. The
lrishman ran towards the dock, and turn
ed a corner. A hat was discovered float
ing in the river, which led the pursuing
party to suppose he had jumped into the
water and was drowned. The news
reached his friends, and they were thrown
into a state Of grief and despair. Blu,
they were astonished, when, about dark,
the drowned man walked in, safe and
sound, and told how he came possum over
the officers by throwing his hat into the
river, jumping over the fence and hiding
away.-BaH. Sun.
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1842-09-17

"The Democratic party were never in a
more delicate situalion."-So says the
Globe.
The delicacy alluded 10 consists no
doubt in this. They have used the
Goat" to defeat Wing measures, and
with them the reform OF abuses, until he
has got to be to them troublesome GUS
tomer.-The party wish to make choice
of their own man, Mr.. Van Buren,, for
President, but the Goat tells them he can
not in ''conscience" or consistency" sup
port him. Tyler is evidently stunning
his own line" and notwithstanding the
repugnance with which his nomination
would be received by the people, he has
evidently bought up a large portion of the
leaders, who will sink or swim with him
and his patronage. This is particularly
the case al the South. Why is it that no
man of the party can receive State nom-
ination? Because there is a power a.
Washington which can crush all such at
tempts at once, by buying off the friends
of such persons as it is proposed to nom
mate.
If this is not "delicate" situation, it is
hard to say what would be- Uniontowr
