THE WING PROSPECT.

The Pennsylvania Inquirer of the 10th
ult. says:-"The results of the recent cleo
tons are certainly calculated to afford high
qualification TO the friends of Mr.. Clay
throughout this widespread Union, and
not only the friends of Mr.. Clay, as such
but to every well-wisher Of his country
to all who rejoice IN our national prospect
ty-to every American citizen who admires
genius and patriotism, and is anxious TO re-
ward faithful and long tried public SER
want. The prospect of electing HENRY
CLAY TO the Presidency, and by trium-
plant majority, was never so favorable as
at this moment Were the election to take
place tomorrow, or next week, or next
month, the distinguished Statesman of Ken
lucky would, we have not doubt, obtain
noble majority of the Electoral votes.-
But the cause is onward-the PEOPLE seem
every where to be rousing themselves to
the true merits of the approaching strug-
gle, and thus we may with confidence anti

the prospect will present still more en-
couraging aspect, and that thus Mr.. Clay
will be elected to the Presidency, with
scarcely an effort worthy the name of po-
litical opposition on the part of our oppo-
nents. This inference is calm and reason.
able. Coming events cast their shadows
before" The influences which have made
such favorable changes in Philadel phia, and
indeed throughout Pennsylvania, ale ope'
rating, as it appears to us, in all parts of the
Union. We may point with confidence ir
support of this position, to North, Carroll
ma, Tennessee, Georgia. Maryland, and the
keystone State. Here in Pennsylvania
we scarcely looked for any thing like vic
tory. Had any of our friends predicted
before the election, that the Wings would
succeed in carrying twelve of the twenty
four members Of Congress, TO say nothing
of majority, they would have been re
garded as little better than madmen. Ant
yet the impression now is, that Pennsylva
MIA will be represented in the next Congress
by at least twelve, if not thirteen Wings
and not more than twelve--probab!y only
eleven Loco Focos. Surely this is some
thing.

SOUND VIEWS FROM Mr.. CLAY

LETTER FROM Mr.. CLAY.-The follow
ing letter from the Hon. Henry Clay to
us, is in reply to certain interrogatories pro.
pounded by US in letter dated August %
| S43, a copy Of which we insert below.
A portion of our letter was dictated Tor
at least, a request was made, and the ques-
tons written OUT by one of the most prom
inent democrats in Georgia; SO far as re-
ates to the first two questions.
The views of Mr.. Clay meet our most
hearty approbation-they are, indeed, the
very sine qua non of OUR principles.
We hope those of our friends, who have.
in private conversation. pledged themselves
to us to support the Wing party, provided
an answer from Mr.. Clay should be received
and which answer should be repugnant
to high Protective Taritf-will not forget
their promises when they read this let
ter.
Let every democrat read the letter-anc
let it not be charged upon us any more
that we are "high Protective Tariff" men
The letter of Mr. Clay, dated 18th Sep
TENDER last, did not reach US until the 81
inst.

Dear Su:-I received your favor address
sing some inquiries TO me, in respect to the
policy of protecting American interests.
On that subject have very frequently pub
licly expressed my sentiments, within the
last two years. In the Senate of the Uni
ted States, early last year fully expressed
my views, and what l said was published.
About the same time, / communicated them
in the answer which transmitted in a let
ter, addressed to me, by Committee of the
Legislature Of New York, which was also
published | again expressed my opinion
in reply to a letter which received from a
fellow-citizen Of Philadelphia, requesting
me to state the principles of the Wing par
ty. A statement of them, as understood
by me, was accordingly made, and it is now
conspicuously published at the head of ma
ny newspapers. The last expression OF
my opinion is contained in letter which
| recently addressed TO Nashville and of
which l now transmit you a copy. fyou
had seen these various expressions of the
opinions which hold on the subject of
your letter, presume you would not have
deemed it necessary TO address me.
The sum and substance of what | con-
ceive to be the true policy of the U. States
in respect TO Tariff, may be briefly sta.
ted. In conformity with the principle an
nounced in the compromise act, l think
that whatever revenue is necessary to an
economical and honest administration OF
the General Government, ought to be de-
rived from duties, imposed on Foreign i'm.
ports. And believe that, in establishing
Tariff Of those duties, such discrimina-
lion ought to be made, as will incidentally
afford a reasonable protection to our ma
tional interests.

ANECDOTE OF DIR. GREGORY.

In the life of Sir Ashley Cooper, the fol-
lowing anecdote is related of DR.. Gregory:
1t was the custom of each professor to re-
ceive at his own house, the fees from the
new pupil. One day, DR.. Gregory, thus
engaged had used all his blank tickets, and
was obliged to go into an adjoining apart
ment TO procure one for student whom he
had left sittingin his consulting-room. The
accumulated money was lying on thh table
and from this sum, as he was re-entering
the room he saw the young man sweep a
portion and deposite it in his pocket. Dr.
Gregory took his seat at the table as il
nothing had occurred, filled up the ticket
and gave it to the delinquent. He then &C.
compunied him to the door, and when at
the Threshold, with much emotion, said to
hm--'I saw what you did just now; keep
the money; know not what must be your
distress, but for Gods sake, don't do it again
1T can never succeed"
The pupil in vain offered him back the
money; and the doctor had the satisfaction
of knowing that this moral lesson produced
the desired impression on his mind.

COM NUMERICAL.

New ORLEANS, Oct. 81.
We are unable, as yet, to announce any consid.
cradle improvement in the general business OF
our ma rket, though the time must now be very
near at hand when the heathiness of our city will
be fully re-estabished, enabling US to invite the
unaccmated to come among us and conduct their
business operations, free from II apprehension.
All descriptions Of Western Produce par
ticularly dull, prices, generally, are too high
to induce purchases for export. and the consump-
ton demand, especially for Pork, Bacon, &C., is
Of mn unusually limited character.
TOBACCO The supply actually on the market
continues limited, notgexceeding, at the moment,
$50 to 800 hhds., in scattering parcels, that no
very considerable transactions can take place upon
stock so unimDUrtant. There is fair demand,
however, particularly for fine tobaccos. but they
are very rarely TO be met with, and command very
full prices. The sales for the past three days

though in addition to the sales for home consump-
ton, which are unusually limited, we are advised
of some few transactions for export among which
notice 1000 to 1900 barrels Missouri for Rio
de Janero at S4,l2l, and 500 Ohio for Havana
at 81 per barrel. We continue to quote the range
of the market according to quality and quantity,

UWhig meetings have recently been
held in Saline and Jackson counties, al
which delegates were appointed to the dis
trict convention for the 4th district. Res
olutions were passed at both meetings in
favor of Mr.. Clay. The resolutions gen.
orally bre athe the true wing spirit, and we
regret that we have not room for them in
our columns to-day. The Saline county
meeting passed a resolution calling a meet
ing of the wings in March next, for the
purpose of selecting candidates for the Leg
islature and county officers for the August
election. The spirit that seems to prevail
at the different wing meetings which have
taken place, will never die until one grand
rally has been made to redeem the State

feeble aid shall be directed to the accom-
plishment of an end so devoutly to be
wished for

OHIO ELECTION.

The result of the election in Ohio is
most cheering The Wings in every quar-
ter of the Union will hail it as another ev.
idence of the glorious victory which is to
crown their efforts next year. The
Wings have elected nine members of Con-
Qress-the Loco Focos t,celUe. Recollect
at the last session Of the Legislature the Lo-
cos, disregarding alike honesty and decen-
cy, because they had the power, districted
the State in such manner as to leave the
Wings, certain, but three members, and an
equal chance for two more. In the Senate
the Wings have Sirteen MEMBERSHIP Lo-
CO Focos t,oenty; giving the latter four ma
jority. The popular branch of the Legis-
lature is composed of seventy-two mem
bers. OF this number the Wings have
elected Mntynine members; the Loco Fo'
cos thirty-and there are three Independent
Loco Focos-Whig majority over all. sir
And majority on Joint ballot in favor Of
the Wings, of TWO. The importance at
tached to the majority on joint ballot arises
from the fact, that the judges of Courts anc
many other officers are elected in this way
At the present session, also, an apporlion
ment of representation in the Senate, ant
possibly in the House is to be made, ant
the wings will be able TO protect them
selves against the Infamous system Of ger
rymandering districts SO as to secure polit
ical maiurities for the Loco Focos.

Col. Johnson made humorous speech
at New Haven, on his recent visit there,
which was received by shouts from both
parties. He observed he had been long
time in public life-had grown grey in the
public service, and he thought he needed
rest; and, he continued, with a comical leer
of his eye, "the people were of the same
opinion in 1910, when Mr.. Van Buren, and
myself retired, with their CONSENT" This
brought forth loud shout, when the Col
onel remarked, "Well, always thought
they would be sorry for that; if they should
be, and want me to serve them again in any
capacity, why, | have got rested now, and
shan't refuse them-but if they don't,
shan't quarrel, because there are some big
ger men in this country than Richard M.

UFWe learn that the Inspectors of the
Penitentiary have preferred charges against
Messrs. Richmond 81 Brown, the lessees of
the Penitentiary, for violations of contract,
and that the trial on the charges will take
place as soon as practicable. 1t is said that
no guards were on duty when the convicts
escaped. These men were at work in the
Bale Rope factory, and employed the time
when they were unobserved in saving a
hole through one of the back gates, and
thus made their escape. They had gone
some distance before the alarm bell was
rung. AS soon as they got under way,
they stole all the horses and clothing within
their reach. AT the last accounts, four of
them had been apprehended. Several
others were seen near the Little Moreau,
with knives drawn, ready TO resist any
attempt TO apprehend them.

Gen. ATcmsoN.-This gentleman, our
readers are aware, has received the ap.
pontment of Senator, to fill the vacancy
occasioned by the death of the Hon. Lewis
F. Linn. The Liberty Banner, a demo-
cratic paper, noticing his appointment,
gives the following sketch of his political
principles, which may be relied on as to
correctness, as Gen. A. is, and has been, for
the last fifteen years a resident of the town
in which the Banner is published. The
Banner says:--
"HiS political principles are so well known in
this State that it is hardly necessary for us, only
10 say, that he is in favor OF the Sub Treasury,
and Constitutional currency-opposed 10 U.
S. Bank, or d National Bank OF any kind
whatever-opposed TO the distribution OF the pro.
ceeds of the Public Lands among the States-in
favor Of organizing the Territory Of Oregon, un.
der the Jurisdiction Of the United States, as
speedily as practicable. He is in favor Of the
nominee Of the National Convention, as can
ddate for the Presidency, but in private life has
frequently and decidedly expressed his preference
for Colonel X. M. johnson, mainly upon the
ground Of availability. Gen. Atchison is deci
dedly in favor Of districting this State into Con
gressonal districts, and opposed to the genera
ticket system Of voting, and by reference to the
journals Of the lower branch of our Legislature
it will be seen that in 1888 he voted in favo
Of districting, alone-his name stands alone OF
the Journals. lie is still in favor OF districting-
he is also in favor of calling Convention t.
revise our Constitution. One of the most nob
traits Of political character which has distinguish
ed our Senator Atchison amoug his friends, i;
the utter scorn and contempt with which he
does, and always has looked upon all privat
caucus conventions, party trickery, and intrigue.
