forestal the action Of convention, or bv the de-
nunciaiions of personal partizans. doubt not
that this exposition OF opinions will be deemed, by
those partzans, but continuation of the sin com
mitted in 49, IN having used NV best exertions
TO prevent the nomination of Mr.. Clay at the Iar-
rsburg convention. That sin has already been
deemed sufficient cause. by those assuming to
speak for the party in our state, for pronouncng
a sentence Of accommodation against those who
committed it. With regard 10 some. that SEN
tcnce has been promulgated, While it is suspended
over the heads of others. Freedom of thought
and independence Of opinion, in the choice of a
candidate, even before a nomination, have become
deadly crimes in the estimation of those whose Sc
vercst repronch against their opponents, within a
few years, was their slayish adherence TO party.
and their blind devotion to one man. So be it..

Lu.lge Youn.'s Visit.

Judge You've, in company with Major HAcKLE
roS, arrived at this place early last Saturday NOR
ming. AS soon as The fact became known, he was
called upon by number of our citizens, who ea'
cerly availed themselves Of the opportunity to
greet well tried and faithful public servant. 1t
was the intention of Judge Young TO remain but a
few hours in tho place, but at the earnest solicit
tation Of our citizens, he was prevailed upon to
prolong his stay until next morning. 1t having
been understood that hs had consented to address
his fellow citizens at the court house in the eve
ming, large number assembled there at an carly
hour for the purpose of hearing him. iIc was in
troduced to the meeting by Mr.. CusnMAN, one Of
our representatives elect, and was received with
cheers. He spoke about an hour and a half and
his speech was characterized throughout by that
ability, candor, and good sense for which its au-
thor is so cminently distinguished. lie was lis
tened to with the deepest attention by the meeting,
who were not backward in expressing their appro-
val of the homes; sentiments of the speaker by re-
peatcd and hearty cheers.

The Quincy Herald of the ooh ut., in an arti-
Gle briefly running over the history of the demo-
tic party in this state for the last few years, says:
"Things appeared 10 90 on smoothly and friend
ly until the death Of Col. SNYDER. Then came
on tho contest for new candidate, and all the
different sectional interests were thoroughly rous-
ed he north against tho south aud the south
against the north, and VIC did not know, at one
time, but that there would be two democratic can
didates in spite OF all that could be done. Final
~ Judge Brccsc was induced to Withdraw, las is
now asserted by those who avow there is a
"SpriHgfeH ciqUe," who control all matters in
relation to the democratic party) by securing the
| promise OF United states senator, in the place now
occupied by Judge Young, from the same clique
As to our own part, whether there is such II
clique IN existence or not, we cannot tell but if
such is really the case, and if such an induce
mont was held out to Jndgc Brccse, and if it opc-
rated upon him in the course he took, the muir.
murings from different parts of the state arc not
without good cause and Judge Brccsc ought TO
be beaten every time he Offers for Office under any
such contract"
The Herald is mistaken in saying that the as
scrion as to the inducements held out to Judge
Brceso 10 withdraw as candidate for governor
was made by all who avow that there is "Spring-
field clique" for no such assertion was over made
by u.s. do we rccolIct having seen it in any de-
mocratic paper The assertion has however, been
frequently made in the wing papers, and I'M private
by mon OF both parties, and there is no doubt it
has greatly injured Judge %. We have nc means
Of telling whether il 10 truo or not, but one thing
is certain, the Judge OF his friends must set this
matter in n clear light or he will stand very
poor chance of going to Tie L. S. Senate for if
ii be true asserted, there are few democrats who
will not agree with the Herald chat Judge Drcesc

A clique, nor do we believe the democratic party
IF the south or the north would submit TO any |
such arrangement. Judge d. and his friends will |
therefore, see the necessity to disprovc having ever

will be able to do it, we do not entertain doubt,
nut until it is done, Judge b. will have greatly

lorth.

From Mkr'eo-rhe n. Y. Herald Of tho 22d
ult, says "by the bark Euginia Briscoe, which ar.
rived on Saturday night from Vera Cruz, having
sailed from that port on the tho 10Th ult, We have
certain and positive information, on which we can
rely, that the Mexican government, or rather san.
ia Anna, will soon invade Texas, if not already
invaded, by large army and navy, both by sea
and land--the army 10 be led on by British OIL

fleet already numbers three iron steamers, two gun
briggs, and three schooncrs."

Foreign News.

The Britannia arrived at Boston on the 10Th
ult., in Ii days from Europe. The news given
below is condensed from the New York Herald.
A decided improvement has taken place in the
manufacturing districts Most Of the hands had
returned to work. Several however still held
out and threatened terribly. Several of the chart
ist leaders have been arrested on a charge Of con-
spring TO promote sedition.
There was a great FIRE in Liverpool on the 23d
Sept Property to the amount of over $500, 900
was destroyed, among which were Grty-cight
thousand bales Of cotton, valued at 1881 coo.
The loss Of life, too, was considerable. Eighteen
or twenty, it is thought, were buried beneath the
ruins, and half as many more have died Of wounds
they received from the fall Of buildings, &c.
The papers do not contain very important news 4;
but the most exciting subject seems to be vio-
lent discussion going on about the Ashburton
treaty. Nearly all the papers come out and de-
nouucc it as the Ashburton capilulaiion; and the
London Times is the principal one that supports
him. The following is from the 'Lcndon Nor
ming Chronicle" and viii give some idea Of the
manner in which the discussion is carried on:-
"A SrEr IN THE PEEUAGE.-We understand
that, to mark their sense Of Lord Ashburtons SER
vices in having betrayed and sacrificed the inte-
rests Of his country by his treaty at Washington,
aud having insulied, by his speech at Boston, the
crOwr 10y which lie was employed, her maesy's
ministers intend Immediately upon the noble nc
gotlalOr return to recommend that he bc made
an Earl. May we suggest that he be created by
the style and title of Earl Surrender; his crest a
captive, with a rope round his neck giving up the
keys; his supporters an American fox rampant
on one side, aud the British Lion couchant on the
other. The embldzouing viii, otcourse, be chief.

There has been protracted drought in Gcrnla-

santry eagerly sell their live stock and the grea-
test fears arc entertained Of short provisions for
The winter.
The contraband business in Spain is carried on
to an incredible extent. The value of cotton
alone introduced by this means is estimated at
about $4,000, 600 per nnnum.

the Hon. SIDNEY BaEEsE, in April lS40, before
the people of Montgomery county, at the request

speech is characterized throughout by unusual
ability The origin Of parties, the wide and radi-
cal difference between the principles of the demo-

Of the latter with the principles of the modern
whig party, are dencated with great force d.

gentleman, to the attention OF those Of our readers
who desire correct information in relation to the

Uashingfonian Camp Meefing.-The
st. Charles Patriot says: "a great camp
meeting of Washingtonian temperance
loIks has recently been held near Green
castle, Putnam county, Indiana. The
meeting continued four days, being held
IN the grove day times, and at public pa-
res Of meeting in the evening. Many
thousands Of people were said TO be in at
tendance. Two bands of music attended,
which, with the melody of many sweet
voices, lent charm and interest to the
scene so entirely new, that romance itself
could scarcely equal. Six hundred per-
sons it is said joined the society or took
The pledge, during the meeting. NO
drunkards are said to be left in that re-
glon of country. The following resolu-
ton, with others, was passed by the great
meeting, and in which we cordially con-
cur. 1t is in the true spirit Of the tempe
rance reformation:
"Resolved, That we as Washingtonians
extend our fellowship to men of all crceds,
of all political parties, and aim to impose
no control over their moral actions as
men, or the exercise Of their duties as
citizens"

American Elour.

The London correspondent Of the New
York Union. states that during the recent
discussion IN the London papers respcc-
ting the relative price Of -four and bread,
the complaint being, that the miller and
the baker keep up the price of flour and
bread, wheat being now much lower in
price than for many years pasD curious
fact has transpircd. 1t appears that To-
mana, biscuit baker, Thread street
who made an immense fortune by his
buslncss-iound that either in biscuit or
bread American flour will absorb from a
l3ih to 18th of its weight in water
than any other -four. Mrs. Rundell, in
her Domestic Cookery (which made more
money for John Murray of Albemarlc-
street, than Byron's most successful
works states, also, that a stone IA lbs
ct American flour, will make 2l4 lbs. of
bread, while the best kind of English
flour will, from like quantity, produce
only 49, lbs. of bread. This is serious
fact, and as it is now taking the grounds"
OF the public journals, must operate favo-
rab'y on American Bickneirs Re
porter.

Another experiment was made with Colts sub
marine battery, in the harbor at New York, on
the 10Th ult, aud is said TO have been even more
successful than that made at Washington last
spring The Volta, brig of 200 tons, was blown
into precisely l,156,9O! pieces in less time than
you could say Jack Robson, and not u solitary
piece was to DO seen upon the water for 90 mi
nu'cs afterwards. This experiment, however, il
far from being u satisfactory test of what Mr. Coll
cA1ias 10 be able TO do, as will appear from the
following from the n. Y. Herald;
"Mr. Coli claims 90 be able to destroy any vcs-
sci within sight of his own position, even at the
distance OF forty miles, wherever she may be, and
whatever may be her size That he can destroy
any number OF ships in the most rapid succession,
or all at once, even be they The combined neels OF
all Europe provided they he any where within
the above stated purvicw. That he can pick out
one vessel, and leave another; destroy this aud

netween them, he Can produce the difference in

necessity OF approach within reach of shot from
