we left Austin had wet our blankets as

Henry CLAY.--Nothius could better express

loudly proclaim the advantage under which they
will enter upon the coming Presidential contest,
thun the following note of lamontston from the
Richmond Enquirer:
Mr. Clay hiss so far io.tled General Scot, from
the Presidential field. The Richmond Wing pro-
neunces Clay "the favori,c of Wing people. the
broad land over" The Wheeling Gazette flies his
name at topmast--" without qualification and not
subject to any contingency OF course, il dis
claims all appeal to National Convention. Such
i. the spirit of the Federal Press in Virginia. The
Conventions of North Carolina and Georgia have
nominated hn-and IN both of those States, we
understand our friends sanguinc of success Al
the ncXt election. grea, Wing meeting WAS held
on the 18th inst in Delaware City--li,tlc Della
wsrc--in which Clay was nominated for the Prcsi-
dcncy and Clayton for the Vice. A meeting of
more than 500 Feds was held in Philadelphia on
the Goth inst, and rallied under the name of II.
CLAW mass meeting of his iricn l. ha. also been
held in the city OF Ncw-iork Even the New
York American abaudons the star of Gen. Scott for
the fortunes of Mr.. Clay. The Wings exclaim,
that he is their strong man. wlS keeps their strength
together In like manser he keeps the Republican
party together and rou.cs up all their energies.
His very name teaches us the necessity Of harmony
and union in our own ranks. Give us any honest
and capable Republican, than this aspiring,
daring, restless and un.crupulous advocate OF the
Hamilton Federal School.

Maryland will not be behind hand in taking her
part in the grand demonstration. The necessity
oil complete organization is becoming every dav
more and more apparent. The Wings must take
their ground, collect their energies, and restore
order in tho place Of that confusion which tresch.

brought q bill into parliament for removing the
incapacity of Witnesses. He propose. that no
witness shall be incspacstcd on account of either
interest or crime; it being left to the tribunal to
make the fitting deduction from his crcdbility. The
Law Magazine says, the rule Of the English law,
which utterly insspacitates witnc,, who has the
smallest pecuniary interest in the result, whilst
the nearest relative. may give evidence for one
another, has long been regarded as a strange
anomaly, and more than one statute has been
passed to modify it. Law Reporter.
