THE WHIG BANNER,

We find in Baltimore paper the description Of
the great Wing banner, to be presented to the lar
gest State Delegation to the Young Mems Conven-
ton, allowance of course being made for the diff
ference in population, and distance from Balti-
more.
The banner will be painted on satin-on the
front side will be painted the portrait of HENRY
CLAY, on shield, supported by two female fig
ures the one the right, Agricultural, supported
by sheaf of wheat; the one on the left, Fame, in
the act of recording the many noble, useful and
patriotic acts in the life of that great American
Statesman and Patriot An Eagle perched on the
Shield, will represent the Arms of the U. States,
supported by Henry Clay. On the back ground
will be painted appropriate emblems, represent
ing Agriculture, Commerce, Manufactures, and
Mechanic Arts; and below the vignette win be
painted in gold two Cornucopias, the fruit and
flowers contained therein painted in natural coll
ors; all intended to be illustrative of the abund-
ance, prosperity and general beneficial effects that
will flow from the establishment of the measures
advocated by the Wing party, with Mr.. Clay at its
head. Part of the front side ofthe banner will also
be richly embroidered with chenille.
On the reverse side will be painted in the form
of Wreath, the Coat of Arms of each of the
States of the Union connected by richly painted
and gilt work-insde the wreath thus formed,
will be painted an appropriate motto.
The top piece, usually consisting of a round
strait rod, will be something entirely unique, be-
ing in the form of broad bow, highly carved
with fruit, flowers, &C., and richly gilded. The
fringcs, drapery, and other ornamental work, will
be of the most splendid description.
The banner will be supported by Staff cut by
the hands of HENRY CLAY himself, from the
growth of the soil of his own Ashland. On the
top of the stafover the banner will be placed, pa-
ted with gold, the Roman Fasces, or round reeds,
representing the unanimity of the Wing Party, and
their determination to maintain inviolate the I'm
ion of the States.
The design bv Mr.. William Curlett SUPERIOR
artist Of this city, by whom it will BE- pai1tad.-
The arrangement Of the Banner, Embroidery,
Trimmings, Sc, will be executed under the di-
rection of Mr. John Ga1e
The entire cost of the Banner will be about
$500.

GII.MER DEFEATED THE Richmond Wing
states that mistake has been discovered in the e.
lection returns from one of the counties in Thomas
W. Gilmers district, making difference of 80
votes, and securing the seat to VIM. L. Coggin, a
sound wing. Gilmer was one of the Tyler Guard
in the last Congress, and tears will be shed over
his defeat except at the White House.
Can't the Wing find some error in the returns
from Wise's district.

KEEP THE BALL ROLLING.
MEssRs EDITORS We have this day held our
adjourned meeting, and it would have done your
wing hearts good to see how the loco focos were
used up. We succeeded in electing our whole
wing ticket by handsome majority, notwithstand-
ing the desperate efforts of our opponents. The
result Of this election is the signal Of still further
disasters to the loco fOcos in the Spring election.
The destructive free trade doctrine finds but little
favor among our hard working and honest mechan-
les and farmers. | can but add that the Wing
spirit isnp-and Mp it will be until after the cleo
ton of HENRY CLAY, who is first, last and for
ever in the heart Of every true wing cheers
for DaH6aay.

Col. RICHARD NJ JoHNsoN's PRIVATE opIN-
ION OF HENRY CLAY.-We find the following
tribute from one Kentuckan to another, both at
present before the public in connection with the
same great national question, in late number of
the Richmond Wing. As part of the case now
pending before the public, we give it place, nothing
doubling it is perfectly authentic
Mr.. EDITOR f: l am opposed to the practice of
giving publicity to fre-side conversation but when
the leader of great party, in respectable compa.
ny of his fellow citizens, composed of both poiti-
cal parties make use of language either in praise
or derogation of political opponent, consider it
no breach ofpropriety to give his voluntary testmo
ny to the world.
On the Both of September last, Col Richard M
Johnson being at Staunton, Virginia, a number of
gentlemen paid him the respect of calling to see
him. One of the company remarked TO him,
Colonel, when you reach the railroad juno
ton, you will be near the Sloshes Of Hanover"

TExAs.-Thc press is speaking out with great
freedom on the question of admitting Texas into
the Union. The Newark Daily Advertiser says /:
e That the whole North at least will rise up
against this meditated attempt to entangled alli-
ances," we thing it cannot be doubted and there
is no just reasons to fear that it will meet with
general appreciation at the South. To say nothing
of any other objection to the proposition of annexa
ton, it is believed to be unconstitutional. Mr.
Jefferson's opinion on this pontwas clearly express
sed in the annexed extract of letter written to Mr.
Breckenridge, dated August IL, 1903, when the
treaty for the cession of Louisiana was under consd
Grafton. He says
This treaty must of course be laid before the
Houses, because both have important functions to
exercise respecting it. They, l presume, will see
their duty in ratifying and paying for it, so as to
secure good which would otherwise probably be
never again in their power. But suppose they
must then appeal to the nation for an additional
a't'cte to ne constitution approving and confirm
ing an act which the nation has not previously au-
thorized. The constitution has made no provision
for oar holding foreign territory, still less for an
cooperating foreign nations IN oar Union. The
executive in seizing the fugitive occurrence which
so much advances the good of their country, have
done an act beyond the constitution .....
In letter to Levi Lincoln, dated August 3Oth,
1903. when speaking of the ratification of the trea-
ty Of cession, he says the less that is said about
any constitutional difficulty, the better and that
it will be desirable for Congress to do what is ne
cessary, IN silence" .r.
And in letter to Wilson C. Nichols, dated Sept.
7, 1903, he says" Whatever Congress shall think
it necessary to do should be done with as little de-
bate as possible and particularly as far respects
the constitutional difficulty. am aware of the
force of the observations you make on the power
given by the constitution to Congress, to admit
new states into the Union, without restraining the
subject to the territory then constituting the Uni
ted States. But when consider that the limits Of
the United States precisely fixed by the treaty
of17S3 that the constitution expressly declares it.
self to be made for the United States cannot help
believing the intention was not to permit Congress
to admit into the Union new States, which should
be formed out of the territory for which and under
whose authority alone they were then acting. I1c
not believe it was meant that they might receive
England, Ireland, Holland, sc. into it."

claration of Gen. Collins, 6 that he (Mr. Adams)
had placed Kentucky under deep and lasting obli-
cations to him for his noble defence of her great
statesman, IN his letter to the Wings of New Jer-
sey," replied, as follows:
thank you sir, for the opportunity you have CIV
en- me of speaking of the great Statesmen who was
associated with me in the administration of the
Government, at my earnest solicitation-who be-
longs not to Kentucky alone, but to the whole
Union and is not only an honor to this State and
