GRAND CLAY CONVENTION.
The tremendous outpouring of the people
which we witnessed here this day, in honor of
"Harry Of the West" and the enthusiasm and
harmony which prevailed amongst them is
nough to gladden. the heart of every patriot
1t was an exhibition worthy the day upon
which it occurred. The Anniversary of the
birth of the 'Father of His Country" could
not be better employed than in doing honor 10
the man who is the father of the American
system; and in devising means 10 secure, BY his
election 10 the highest post in the nation, the
restoration of that country's prosperity, and
the perpetuity of her dearest Institutions
AT 0 O'Clock in the morning the Cont House
was crowded with Delegates, and not more
than one half could get inside, the balance be-
ing obliged 10 pay flying visits, and content
themselves by knowing that the work was GO
ing bravcly on without them. Ii is estimated
that at least fifteen hundred delegates were in
attendance, embracing men of all classes in the
community; and especially The Farmers and
the Mechanics, who are at length convinced
that upon the success of Wing measures, with
which the protective system is identified, ,heir
prosperity IN great measure depends.
temporary organization was soon effected
by placing General Mayer, of Lancaster county,
in the Chair. A Committee was then appointed

ization. During the retirement Of this Com
miitee, Judge Conrad, Of Philadelphia, being
called upon, addressed the Convention in
very eloquent and classical style, inspiring-no,
not inspiTing-but stirring up the enthusiasm
of the Delegates to high degree Joseph r.
Chandler, ESQ.,, next followed in obedience 10
call made upon him by the assembly. His
well known ability, sterling principles, and
deep settled attachment TO Henry Clay, are
sufficient guarantee of the reception with which
his remarks met. Messrs Brady OF Franklin,
Richards of Perks, Alexander of Carlisle,
Wallace OF the "iorum", and several other
gentlemen, whose names cannot now remem-
der, also addressed the Convention in pleas
ing and satisfactory manner.
The Convention was then organized by The
choice of ABRAHAM r.. McILyANE, oil Ches-
Ter, County, as President thiriy-one Vice
Presidents, and nine Secretaries.
Committee was appointed TO prepare reso-
lutions and an address expressive of the views
OF the Convention, on the subject of national
policy, and the man whom they were about TO
nominate for the highest Office in the WORLD
This Committee in the afternoon through Mr.
Chandler of the city, their chairman, reported
an address and series of resolutions, which
were enthusiastically received by the vast as
esembly, and unanimously adopted by accla-
nation.
State Central Committee was appointed,
and some other business transacted, after which
the Convention adjourned sine die, at about
hall past O'Clock, p. Nj. The utmost haTmo-
ny prevailed throughout the deliberations and
an enthusiasm only equalled by that which
characterized the campaign of 1910, pervaded
the entire assemblage.
No man can doubt from the exhibitions Of
this day that the State is secure for Henry
Clay in 1914, so surely as any future event
can be. The discussions were manly, open
and dignfed. Men were spoken of with res
pect, and especially James Buchanan, whilst
their principles were exhibited and their ten
dency exposed. But the notices of John Ty-
Ter were severe and whitening. Not a single
voice IN that vast crowd, which is The same
men that had elected him, could be loundo
defend his name, not even the Locoiocos, for
whom he has been "working by the day." as
was remarked by one of the Delegates, are
willing to say word in his BEHALF II is clear
that his party consists of ofice-holders and Or

soon as the close of his term of "acedency"
shall have arrived.
