A PROPOSITION.

upon by the country, we propose, for the time being
to offer the CaIcdonan subscribers, to be sent
in packages Of not less than four copies to one adj
dress-payment always in advance-to commence on
the 9Th of May and end the last week in November
at the following rates
Any number over 4, SO cents
This is ruinous price for us-but as the Star and
Patriot have adopted tho system, we will make the
sacrifice for our cause and our country.
WINGS II is time to be doing something for
our cause The great measures which we hold
dear are assaiIed by ruthless opposition. The
PRINCIPLE OF PROTECTION TO OUR IN
DUSTRY, which was established as the fruit of our

and his party with destruction, and must, fom this
circumstance. pass another trial Shall it be sustain
cd If 30, we must awake to the importance of the
subject, and spread abroad the truth. Will our
friends take hold ofthe in earnest and let US
hear from them by their orders, by the first day Of
May .. ......

Mohhe--and we presume with more truth If
true he may not have been at all in the fault 1t
| is no uncommon occurrencc-it is what all men are
liable to do who travel by WATER and unavoidable in
certain cases. But it is outrageous to tell such
stories, set out in the coloring they receive by the
I 4 Al.
But we expect TO see and do daily in these pa
ders the most infamous iabrications respecting Mr.
Clay and people must expect 10 see and hear them.
Nothing lis too bad for these defamers Of Mr. Clay to
say. They seem bent upon making an effort to lie
him down rs they did Gen. Harrison.

co papers say their party will elect their candidate for

fears only as the 3D. party may give victory the
locOs, and thereby the election of u S.
Senator favorable TO the annexation of Texas and on
posed to Protective Tariff
