NEW l. ORh, SCtODtI lOfS-
The friends of Mr.. Clay, albeit somewha, taken
aback by the awful rebuff they have received from
the People of Ohio, are making diligent and sys-
tematc preparation for great effort in this
State on the Slh proxmo. They know that, if
then defeated, their broken ranks can never be
effectively reunited; and it is only justice TO
their zeal to say, that all which political craft
and rigid discipline do to sustain a sinking
cause, they doing or have done. They
have put in practice system of espionage as
perfect, in its way, as that of Robespierre, dur
ing the reign of terror. sort of political po-
lice is established throughout the STATE, the du-
ty Of whose members it is to apprise the Cen
trail Committee of every movement Of the De-
mocratc party in every section of the State.
BY means of this organization, which is secret
in its character, the Federal leaders here and in
Albany are furnished with statistical tables,
showing the relative force Of parties in every
township of the State, and are enabled silently
to distribute their caumnies and misrepresenta-
tons in the form of circulars and otherwise, 10
an extent scarcely credible The sophistries
and falsehoods best calculated TO infame the
prejudices Of particular districts are circulated
precisely within the limits where they are likely
to tell, and no farther; in short, a system Of
party Juggling more perfect in its mechanism
and more judcious in its adaptation TO circum-
stances than any ever before practised in this
part of the country, is now in full operal ion for
the purpose of ob,aining.a Federal triumph in

The plain, honest, strong minded yeomanry Of

as the parent Of wealth and prosperity, they
cannot be made 10 see, even by Wing logic,
that lavish expenditure of borrowed capital
with doubtful prospect of remote returns, is
the way TO extricate community already deep

these reasons, and thousand others, which
would occupy too much space here, anticipate
Democratic victory in this State on the 9Th Of
November; and know that nothing can pre-
vent such result except supineness and dis
sessions in our own ranks. There is not, am
sorry to say, that perfect union among the De-
mocrats of this city which is desirable. 1t is
strange, nay, it is dlsgraceiul, that when ques-
tons are at issue of such vital moment to the
interests Of our State, the members of the Dem
ocratc family should waste their energies in
petty squabbes among themselves.
If, through such worse than folly, the oppor.
tuniiy should be lost not Only of redeeming the
State, but of crushing the Federal party
throughout the Union, eternal disgrace will rest
upon the party in this section of the country.
They have but to will a victory, and move to-
gether in the effort to achieve it, and the issue
is as certain as fate itself
