The Wings of Petersburg formed Clay Club
on Thursday night. The IntelIigcncer" says
that all ages and classes of the Wing population

"during the most exciting periods ofthe campaign
of l840 was more enthusiastic spirit manifested"
The meeting were addressed by Messers VIM.
Robertson. sr, (Chairman,) F. N. Watkins of
Prince Edward, T. S. Ghoson, and r. B. Boil
ling. They put forth the following as the ele-
ments of theirtpoltcal creed: " The establishment
of National Bank, the continuation of discriln4
the~funds ascruing from the sales of the Public
Lands. and the Limitations ofhe Presidential office
to single term Of four years"
They pronounce these 40 " be essential 10 the
happiness, prosperity and good morals Of the coun
try"-- Good mOrGls We marvel, that they did
not also represent them essential to the reli.
gious institutions" of our country, as the Wings
of Amherst have said. The Wings will carry
out all these measures, if the people will permit
excepting, probably, the last, which g Har-
try of the Vest may be so easily prevailed upon
by good reasons of State to dispense with, at tie
end of the first term-just as they pledged them
selves in 1910 against National Bank, just as
the address of the Wings in Richmond denied that
General Harrison was in favor of an institution
and Just as Mr. Badger of North Carolina, de-
clared in his speech to the citizens of Granville
county, in March, ls4O, that the change acas
taLse-that General Harrison's opinions were a.
gG;nst q Beak"-- yet no sooner did they
seize the rcns, and obtain the opportunity of str4
king for Bank at the Extra Session, called a.
mong other considerations for that very purpose,
than Mfr. Clay had a bill brought in for the es-
tablshment Of National Bank Pledges thus
redeemed in 1871, would pave the way for the for
feture of this one term pledge in E348.

THE GHOST OF THE NATIONAL
RANK

The following is an extract from a bill of dis
covery filed in chancery against Nicholas Biddle,
the ex-president of the late National Bank, in or
der to discover to what purpose was applied
100000! alleged 10 have been taken by him and
the cashier, John Andrews To this bill de-
murrer was put in, which we also append The
principal argument scerris to be- that the transac
ton took place, a long time ago" 1t will be
observed that the operations took place while yet
it was national bank, before it became State
institution:
sAnd your orators further state, that between the
10th dav of February and the 1St day of March,
in the year 1886, or thereabout, the said John
Andrews, being such first assistant cashier as aore-
said drew various checks or orders on the said
first teller, and received the money from the said
first teller for the same, and delivered some part
or the whole of the same over TO the sud Nicho-
las Biddle; the said checks being drawn, and the
said money paid over to and received by the said
Nicholas BidIle, by concert between the SAID
Nicholas Bidde and the said John Andrews
And your orators further state that the whole a
mount of money so drawn for and received by the
said John Andrews, and paid over by him, in
whole or in part, to the said Nicholas Biddle, a.
mounted to the sum of four hundred thousand
s.ollars, oslhereabout and that the said sums of
18oney so obtained, never applied TO or
Used in any legitimate business of the said bank,
but, on the contrary, were wasted by them, the
said Nicholas Biddle and John Andrews, or ap-
piled to some uses by them, for which they can
not claim credit against the said bank or her as
signs and were never accounted for by them to
the said bank
7sAnd your orators further charge, that the said
Nicholas BidJle and John Andrews, having thus
obtained the sum of four hundred thousand dol
lars and upwards, did, in order to give different
aspect to the transaction, resort to sundry conrv
anees, to wit: The said checks Of John Andrews,
colnmonly called cashiers vouchers, for the said
sums amounting to four hundred thousand dol
lars, or thereabout, were (as were also all the
vouchers of the same kind) retained by the. said
first teller in his drawer until the day should ar
rive when he should be required to account for
the moneys in his hands, or under his control be-
longing to the said bank, which said accountings
occurred periodically; and he entered these vouch-
ers in certain cash-book kept by him, called the
first tellers statement, under the head or title o
'ssundries :" and the said Nicholas Biddle and
John Andrews, in order to repossess themselves Of
said vouchers caused ten notes of the Bank Of the
United States, called parent post-notes, to be exc
cuted by the officers to whom the execution o.
such notes belonged, on the 1st day of March
1886; but bearing the date of the lOthof Feb
ruary, 1885, each of said notes being for the sum
kof forty thousand dollars, and caused them to bt

DEMURRER

complaint Of the President Directors, and
Company Of the Bank Of the United States
Gnd others
This defendant, by protestntion, not confessng
FOR acknowledging all or any of the matters and
things in thc said compfainants' biIf to be true,
doth demur thereto and for causes of demurrer
showeth, that the complaints have no interest in
the subject of the bill, or title to institute suit
concerning it; that the subject of the suit is not
within the jurisdiction Of court of equity; that
the situation of this defendant renders it improper
for court of equity to compel diecovcry, mas
much as the bill charges the defendants with acts
which would subject them TO criminal prosecu<
tlon; that the alleged cause of suit occurred more
than six years before the filling Of the bill and
that the bill is, in other particulars defective and
informal; wherefore this defendant demands the
Judgment of this honorable court whether he shalt
be compelled to make any other or further answer
TO the said BILL or any of the matters and things
therein contained and prays that he may be hence
dismissed with his reasonable coats in this behalf

and dollars to that account may admit of variouS

present that the said four hundred thousand dol,

the bank, it was wholly unwarranted And your
orators declare that ifit was so intended the same

ANOTHER RICHMOND IN THE FIELD.
The Madisonian parades another heirapparent.
This is from Philadelphia letter-wrter
"The son isa noble representative of the Pres
ident, and could his father have heard him last
night calling down by his eloquence the thunder
ing applause of the whole assembly he would,
like the father of Patrick Henry, have burst into
flood of tears, and deemed that night the happi-
est one in his whole existence. Whatever others
NAV think or saw, know him to be the very At.
las of his fathers administration"
This seems TO thrust aside all the Cabinet, and
to preserve the mantle of the Administration for
the true Prince-the Atlas of our States.

RECTUS In CURIA.


We regret to learn that an article which
appeared in the Free Press some days since,
in relation to the appointment of the Deputy
Collector at st. Adams, has been construed
into an intended personal attack upon that
gentleman's wife. 1t was indeed liable to
that interpreta,ion-tho' not so intended
and had we seen the article before its
publication it would certainly never have APP
peared in orr columns. We know of no
facts 10 warrant any charge like that infer
red but learn with pleasure from those who
have had intimate acquaintance with the la
dy in question Tor the past twelve or fourteen
years, that, in all the relations of life, she is
member of society. But were it otherwise,
we should scorn to avail ourselves of it for
political ends, or permit, through our agency,
the juvenile indiscretions of youth 10 be WISH
ted upon an unoflending family. The Free
Press never hast never will-war upon

eye-balls, lies but spears length in the jun

1t is but Justice to the writer Of the article
however, to say, that i, was hastily written,
and that nothing was further from his inlen-
ton than any dsrespectful aluson to the la
dy in question. The article was elected by
an insinuaton in the True Democrat, aimed
at reckless political gamester, and the COM
mentary was but the natural application Of
the doctrine Of the tert as furnished by the
+. ID. 1t was aimed at a mdn--a full grown,
able bodied man, who was distinctly named in
the paragraph who is now here in our midst,
and who is abundanlly able to defend him

! have no explanations to make, nor favors to
ask. If that article did not do him justice,
ace will see that he has it. Regarding him as a
walking pes,ilence-one who has debauched
more minds, destroyed the peace of more
families, ruined more individuals, and done
more to let down the tone of public morals
than any other individual of the same ability
we shall not shrink from speaking of him
as he deserves, nor fail to cite his eccentric
career as an apt illustration of the worse thar
nothingness of talents, wealth, honor, fam.
when unsupported by abiding integrity and
manly virtue. II. b. S.

his peculiar philosophy would be of higher
service and more generally welcome than
renewed exhibition of his personal character,
with which, far better than he could be, his
audience were already acquainted. That
Mr.. Cheever mistook the public expectation
is very evident, and we have occasion to
know that no one regretted it more deeply
than HIMSELF: but share of the blame must
attach to that expectation itself He was
not invited, nor did he come here, to deliver
a Eulogy: and 1t is unfortunate tina, the mis-
taken impression, conveyed by the official
announcement, was not in some way correct
ed. In what VIC have said we do not wisl
to be understood as detrac,ing from the me.
rits of the address. On the contrary we re.
gard it as most able and beautiful produc.
ton, and it would have been more generally
and justly appreciated had less objecliona
bic time been assigned for its delivery.--I
was the subject of it alone in which the pub
lie expectation was disappointed.

POLITICAL HISTORY.

1t is amazing to that men can be and remain
grossly ignorant of fncs which have passed immedi.
n,ey under their own obscrvation-of events in the
shaping of which they have themselves participated.
We hear almost daily intclligen, Locoiocos, and
even their Editors, speak of Mr. Clay as the thrice
defeated candidate for the Presidency" This is not
so Mr. Clay has been but trice candidate fol. Pres
dent, and neither time with fair field. He was first
proposed in 1924 on Mr.. Monroe's retirement, when
five names oflered-those of Messrs. Adams,
Crawford, Calhoun, Clay and Jackson Mr.. Cal
houn thrown out eaiy in the race, and transfer
red his strength to Gen. Jackson. Mr.. Crawford had
the great advantage of the regular caucus nomination
of the Democratic party, to which all the candidates
belonged; but this was connierbalanced by the
friends of all the other candidates concentrating their
fire on him their most formidable opponent. As
the progressed The friends of Mr.. Adams, IN
States where they could not carry their own Flee
tors threw their votes for the Jackson ticket to de-
feat the Crawford Electors thinking there was no
danger of Jack sons election and this gave the
Of New Jersey, North Carolina, and perhaps some
other States, to jackson. Mr.. Clay was speaker Of
the House, and very popular therein, and the friends
of all the other candidates very naturally did Their

MIR. CHEEVER'S DISCOURSE.

In the official announcement of the exer-
cises of commencement day the closing hour
was assigned to the delivery, by Rev. George
B. Cheever, of a" EulOgy" upon the late
Professor MARSH: and not little dissats-
faction has been expressed that the address
pronounced upon that occasion partook so
little Of the nature Of personal Euogy. A
portion OF this disappointment must be at
tributed to the mistaken expectation of the
public. Mr.. Cheever, we understand, was
not invited to deliver Eulogy-but an i'd
dress upon the Life and Character of DR..
Marsh; and he was led to understand, by the
terms of the letter of invitation, as well as by
the circumstances of the case, that discus
sion of other points than simply the personal
character of the deceased would be both ap-
propriate and welcome. More than year
has elapsed since the death of DR.. Marsh :
upon the occurrence OF that sad event, Presi-
dent WHEELER had pronounce most eo-
quent and touching eulogium, which was af-
forwards spread before the public Me-
NOR, written with admirable beauty and
taste, by Professor ToRREy had been pub
lshed in connection with his Remains, and
in various ways expression had been already
given to the ardent love of personal friends
and the heartfelt respect of all who knew
him. These facts alone might well lead Mr.
Cheevcr, who from his position. could be bu
slightly acquainted with the feelings of pc.
culiar tenderness and veneration which, in
his former pupils, still clustered around the
memory of their beloved teacher, to believe
that presentation of points connected will

and who, after years of experience, lacked
the /" INFORMATION requisite to preside over
the Vermont Legislature "-this man, who
was an opponent Of the last war, and
REVILER of JEFFERSON and MADI-
SON." who was accidentally elected to
Congress in 1888 through the apathy of his
political opponents, and who was dismissed
by the PEOPLE at the end of his term Of
service by the Unprecedented ma jority of
fifteen hundred rotcs, this man is again put
in nomination by the Loco Focos as a COM
peiitor to GEORGE p. MARsH.-And who is
Mr.. MARSH? Let this same Sentinel an
swer. In late number he speaks as fol-
lows.
We can say as much of GEORGE p. MARSH the
wing candidate for Congress. To his claims as
man of integrity. he adds those of an accomplished
scholar and gentleman. If our delegation must bC
wing, or ifthe whole body was to be opposed to us
we should certainly prefer such men Mr.. Marsh &c
the pack of brawng demagogues, who have otter
haunted the purleus Of the CAPITOL 2lSt ~
| iN 1913.
But perhaps the Sentinel may not be goot
authority with all the Loco Focos in the dis
trict We therefore present the following
endorsement of the True Democrat whose
orthodoxy no one will question.
Gas it regards Mr.. Marsh, the Wing candidate
personally, we esteem him as man.--We accord t
him high grade in literary, scientific and legal a,
"tainments We know he is a man Of great researc
and industry, and, unlike many wing candidates an
officials of unhlemished private character. Thu
"much we shall not dispute with the whigs--and
may MS well be honestly confessed TO incur tn
charge of disngenuousness by evading or denyin
"what IN THIS VICINITY Is UNIVERSALLY ADMITTED.
True Democrat.
Such are the comparative merits of GEoRG
p. MARSH and John Smith. The one
sneered at and condemned by his polite;
friends. The other is admitted by his BIZ
terest political opponents to be not onl
above rcproach in his private character, b'
ripe and accomplished scholar, man
great industry and research, and of the higl
est literary and legal attainments.
