at the North as brethren of the same family, tbound to Us ky all the ties of interest and COTS
 sanguinity; but am Southern man, and
 Southern man with lSoutheyn feelings, and I
 cannot but feel keenzy and dseply the denun-
 cations which are poured out npon Southern
 men, because they advocate measure which
 they believe is to strengthen and aid Me
 'Soislh, as t aeiH earieh, and Illus strengthen,

 Every line, every word of this letter of f Mir. Lyons, one .shigh i'll a,Ithority,, with the
 Wing party of Virginid, (however much he
 may be ''underthe ban' of the peculiar cz;que.
 oi inc Club House,) ought to burn into the
 very souls of these fanatics of the Thursday
 night meeting. As 1t were with prophetic
 pen; he has portrayed the certain effects of
 the leaders in Richmond. Already ,yo have
 seen the whig organ denouncing the orrani-
 zaion of the Clay club as ssgrannyisni,,
 tracing its .sincfficiency'' to the details, wisn
 1t is apparent that the great body of the par
 ty have too much good sense, propriety and
 patriotism, to rush headlong into the wild
 chimeras of the leaders. Already we sec
 the party breaking into fragments, for, as late
 as Saturday night last, after all their boasied
 eorganization,'' friend informs Us, that he :, dropped into the club house, found not more
 than thirty five in attendance, and windy
 orator was strongly declaiming the wings of
 Richmond, because they rould not attend the
 meetings. The truth is, the leaders have gone wrong and the people are too sensible and patriotic to sanction their madness
 which ''onr (theif1 party, if persisted in.'
 lfls whole movementis is part and parcel
 oi thelr system of trickery and deception I Driven 10 extremity by the increasing de-
 monstralions of public sentiment i'll favor of Polk, Dallas and Texas, and by the condein- nation in the whole South, of the Senate, for rejecting the Treaty, these wings have raised the senseless cry of .disunion''--vaiuiy iio- , ping to enlist in their favor the patriotism of f the people, and direct it, if possible, to the a elevation of Henry Clay. tis af expellient as ridiculous as it is desperate. The whig
 leaders are attempting to practice cheat up on their country, and we are grieycd that they should find any aiment or foothold iu the Old Domlnion--whose very air, we hat
 hoped, was as fatal to such demonstrations
 as the air of old Ireland is fatal to all reptiles. Their very name of ssWhig'' IS cheat,
 worthy of its legitimate Godfather, James Watson Webb. Any man may assume a dis
 gulse-- any party may wear false name maleactor may call himself George Wash- ington--but will that invest elm with one of the Hero's vrtues' Is he not the same male-
 iactof still? 4 man may effect the theatri- cal prestige oi royalty, wear the mimic crown, wield the tragic sceptre, and strut his busy hour OH the stage, as Alexander the Great
 but strip him of his name and robes, as soon as he steps off the stage, he sinks into the f poor and contemptible player. The other day
 the God-like Webster, in Boston, cried up the virtues of the whigs of the Revolution to the skies, and then affected to claim for the present Pseudo-Whigs their merits, with their name--but 1t was all cheat. No man can , play the imposter better than he-who called , himseIfa JeFersoaioa Rspub7ica,, --threatell-
 esl to punish any one who denied his asser- / tion--and then came here, with mask upon his face, and an untruth upon his lips, to carry out the. fraud.
 The principles assumed by the Wings in 1940 were all a cheat, as tler own acfs in 1S4l proved; as their own address in 1844 proves; as W. Newton has stamped upon their forehead Their whole course of elec- f tioneering is cheat, their humbugs in 40 and '41-hard cirder-and long cabins in the former period, and doggrel and vulgar songs ill the latter-all, all intended to seduce the
 people from the discussion of their principles f and the merits of their cause, and cheat them 7 out of their sufffages.
 Their present course about Texas IS a cheat-Ther resolutions passed Thursday ], night are a mere trick. They are intended
 to create a panic throughout the country, and to frighten the people from the support Of Texas, and to arrest that sweeping and I irresistible torrent, by making the people be- F lieve, that there Is plot on foot to dissolve the Union, and that they have taken this dar- 2 ing measure to avert it. Tie folly of this Il charge of s.djsunionn we have elsewhere ex- k posed. We advise the whig actors at the club house hereafter to arrange their stage machi- . nery with more skill. The ssgrown men'' D of the South are not to be alarmed with such . thunder. They will, at the first blush, feel . the proper indignation for such extravagant . measures-but they will soon come to pity the f wretched actors, and be content with hissing I them off the stage. These sbig men' have mistaken their talents-and they should be
 very cautious, lest the toys which they play
 with, may iniure the tricksters.
 il But we will close this long article with a r piece of information for our friends every q where. The seeds of dissenson are deeply 1t laid in the Clay club here, and every move c they make to right themselves but develops e the laral fruits of their infatuated tlespair- Not even SWandering Willie,'' who is ex- : pected at the great District Coon Convention ]. on Thursday, can save them. This is tEe z key that explains all the folIies that have ; been enaated and still may be expected from s the club house of the .Metropolis of Virginia! D THE ALGERINE EX-GOVERNOR IN GUS c T0DY
