| have never known such despondency as at this
moment possesses every one The Wing party
anxious discharge their duty, thwarted by an
accidental incumbent, who either from natural
obliquty of intellect the miserable vanity that he
can by Furnishing the whole country, arouse them
into his support for the succession, is spreading
distress like pcstilence over the whole country.
| have Just secn.a gentleman from Cincinnati, Ohio,
who informed me he pork hams sold in
that city last week, at three-fourths of cent per
pound, wheat at As cents per bushel, eggs at IS
cents per bushcl; and he gave it as his deliberate
opinion wheat would sell at So, if not at 80 cents
the bushel Amidst calamity so intense this
state of things must produce, the patriot must
stand amazed and confounded ut the inscrutabe
ways of that Providence which removed the lament
cd Harrison, that that nameless nendescript OF
Virginian abstractonist might tyrannize over that
people But so it s, and we must submit. One
thing however is encouraging to them, that every
lay is adding both here and throug hout the West
and South to the growing popularity and power Of
| Mr.. CLAY, and the country arebecoming impatient
for the opportsnity slavate him the Presdency,
and redeem the country by carrying out his well
defined and salstary measures of relief. Webster
will soon retire and take his stand in the ranks of
the Whig party. Shall he do so, as doubt not he
will, with right feelings, and firm determination
to dismiss everv consideration but that which
points to his countrys good, we may then bid
defiance to opposition, and every honest man will
do him that justice his great services demand.

Monday at Fort Herkimer. The wafer under
mined both arches of double culvert The time
it would take to repair it is uncertain.
% Did it ever occur to the Courier and En-
qnirer that it is neither in good taste true to
say much abont Mr. CLAY being cheated at the
! Harrisburg Convention in 1899 That Conven-
lion composed of * intelligent and patriotic
men ever assembled for like purpose in this
| country. The nomination for the Presidency made
| by them the result of a long and anxious de-
! LIBERATION and the result of the election showed
they acted wisely. To charge them with cheating
is grossly unjust, and in our opinion is not exactly
| the best mode oc advancing the cause which the
Courier in common with very large portion of
the Wing party, has at heart The eyes of the
| nd f.
dence to HENRY CLAY, and we firmly believe that,
if not ruined by the inconsiderate, blind zeal Of
| those who affect TO be his peculiar, exclusive
friends, he will be the next President of the United
States. But if ever man had occasion to say,
Save me from my friends il is the great Ken
tuckian. The course pursued by the Courier and
some other papers in the large eastern cities, may
perhaps have beneficial influence uponsthe Ward
meetings and elections in their respective locali-
ties, bui we assure them in all frank kness and re-
spect, as one who is humble laborer with them
