MORE TRICKERY.

We have heard it recently whispered
about town, that the "Fayette Clique" are
endcavoring to persuade certain good ma
tured easy sort of dimocrdf, to run as an
independent candidate for Representative
at the next August election. We will not
mention the gentleman's name, who is thus
to be made a tool of, as we are confident

worthy regularly nominated candidates, or
The great democratic family We hope
the real democracy will keep their "cycs
skinned" and not suffer this corrupt and
arbitrary clique to scduce them into q
course of action which will everlastnglv
disgrace them. Scott, Robou---and Red,
man too---were fairly and regularly nomi-
mated, according to the usage Of the party,
and because, forsooth, they are the oppo-
nents of the aforesaid Clique, shall we not
stand by them Stand your ground. your

Lowry slaves Let your watchword be
Scott. Robiou--and Rcdnson 100, and when
the cloven foot of the hydra headed Clique
shows itself, mash it TO the earth, and in
proud Indignation cast it from you.
We have been astonished to hear some
of the Clique cast reflections upon the
ability of the regularly nominated candi-
dates Such attacks fall harmlessly at the
feet of such mon as Rcdm0n, Scott and
Robiou. Who, let us ask, made more
speeches at the last session of the Lcgisla-
ture than General Rcdmqn7 Who was it
that made the able and celebrated Cur

the State, and we may add, throughout the
length and breadth of the whole land ap-
proved, and which, it is said was actually
written by Col. Benton? Why. none 9TH

Mr.. Robiou, although lie is not an "orator
as Brutus is," has done as much for The
cause as any man in Howard. True, he
seldom makes speeches, but his genius has
