Just so with Chapman he IN the crowd ne ar
The stand from which Mr.. Clay spoke, and the
whole face Of the country aroand II was inunda-
ted with people, and so dense was the crowd. and
so great its extent, that there was no chance for
escaPe--Chapman was IN The midst nearly suffo-
Gated, ready to fam, from oppression, almost
pressed TO death by the eager and immense
crowd which was around hun. when he cried out,
al The top oil has faint voice, for Gods sake give
me drink, or shall de- ond yet he says there
was not much OF q crowd after all.
Chapman thinks there might have been 10 900
people there-we think there were from 10 10
'o,ooo lie says, that, be The number hat il
may, lat least three fifths, It no, more were dem.
ocrats, women, and chldren.'' This conviuces
US that Chapman has no reference to tho main
crowd which assembled IN the grove bu, tina, by
some means he got into the crowd which sur
rounded "Chayles" at the door Of Gov Nobe's
kitchen, and though, be was in attendance a, the
grand rally This will also account los the mum
Der OF Democrats he saw the ground as
suppose the loco party of Marion county have
the same sympathy with sCharfes'' that Henry
Hoorer, DR. Bonael, Richard Jobes and other
leaders Of the loco party here, had, when they
signed petition asking his manumisson.
Chapman is right, however in saving that there
we're great many LADIES in nttendance There
we're large number present, and IN the Ian
Cuage of Gov. Metcalf, say" God bless Mcm--

tuity Of their country's free institutions. The
eye of beauty sparkled with indignation as Mr.
Clay described in his .loquence the pe,fiiy and
treachcry OF tho one man i Ter And the mo
eyes wept with laughter as he described the poor
Carolinian who had left the Western conatry for
tho want of market-when he had never had
any thing for sale. We thank the 10 900 ladies'
who were present on tn. occasion, for their At,

bile occasion presents itself, that double that mum
Der will honor the Wings with their presence.
The editor OF the Sentinel was horribly disnp
our friend MAJOR Cook, who, by the bye, Is
efficient lecturer on Temperance, is Mr. Ciay's
superior. Well, it is natural, and we think com
mendable, to be grateful for kudncss rendered ,
hence it is but right that Tux. Chapman should
look upon the Nj n with mind strongly pre- judi,
ced in his favor. If under the influence Of tho
Major, Chapman was made t. sober man, he has
certainly done more for him, than ii can be .x-

We too, disappointed in QUO thing Wo
did expect that Mr.. Clay would have been de
nounced by the Sentinel, or seine Of It's kindred
prints "Gamblcr,'' a "Dfnnkard," as "iei-
ling lies and all that kind Of thing; hu, We have
not seen paper, the editor Of which has had ct.
frontery to say aught against his private charac-
acter. We glad IN DISAPPOINTMENT; for
whilst Mr.. Van Buren, permitted pass
through state, treated with courtesy nnd
respect, craven hearted and despicable would DO
the wretch whose rotten heart could say nught
against the private Tepui iion of Mr. Clay, which
is above reproach We glad that no editor
in the state has been found TO be vile poIiIoon
as to assnil by falsehood and defamation the good
name of Henry Clay.
