Messrs. Editors:-I begin TO think
the Hon. William G. (query, Clay p
Rives, who has hitherto valued him
self upon seeming out majorities in ad
vance, will be constrained to write an
other letter to Captain Fontaine of
Hanover, to apprize him and the rest
of his tail, of the necessity which will
shortly exist of their perpetrating an
other somerset, ifthey design like him
selfto keep with majority. The State
Rights Wings of Virginia are going
against Clay en- masse. He is no lon
ger available. Even in the neighbor-
hood of Castle Hill, there has been
formed Democratic Association to
war against Clay, and for Polk and
Texas. | learn, from reliable source,
that nearly every member of the Associ-
alton at Oak Hill, whose proceedings
are published in the Enquirer of the
21st INST, voted for Harrison in 1910,
and continued to act with the Wing
party, till the nomination of Clay for
the Presidency by the Baltimore Con-
fention. In another quarter Colonel
N, one of the most thoroughgoing
Wings in Virginia, is marshalled against
Clay with all his force. He openly
tells Ills Wing brethren, that Clay sold
himself and Kentucky to Adams in Feb
ruary; 1926, and that he will never
trust such politician in any office
whatsoever: Being ffative of Hano-
yer, most strenuous efforts have been
made to keep him in Clay's traces
By one Wing he is told, that every ma
tive Of Hanover ought to take pride in
electing Clay to the Presidency. An
other assures him, that Mr.. Adams, the
best witness in tire world, because if
Clay was bought, Adams bought him, J
affirms the falsity Of the charge, and
calls God to witness the truth of his de-
claration. The Colonel replies, that
man base enough to buy vote would
not hesitate TO deny it; that circum-
stances and notorious facts, stronger
than the oaths of hundred witnesses,
prove them guilty; that all the negative
testimony in the world would kick the
beam, when weighed against the ac-
knowledged and incontrovertible facts
attending the election of Adams, and
his appointing Clay to Office immedi-
ately afterwards, placing him, as Clay
himself said, in "the line ofsafe prece-
dents" AS John Randolph Justly re-
marked. Mr.. Clay in endeavoring to
prove his innocence, proved too much,
and thereby established his own guilt.
The gross inconsistency Of Clay's
past and present course in relation to
Texas has thoroughly disguised thou
sands of his warmest friends. They
verify believe he is now bidding for the
Abolition vote at the expense of the
South and the interests of the whole
country; that there is nothing to which
he would not resort to obtain the PreSi-
dency; and that his present course
proves him to be the most selfish, and
ambitious politician now living.

'fAn adequate revenue means vacuum

Woodstock Sentinel.
This is decidedly the fastest and best def
milton we have seen in some time johnson,
Webster and Walker-who were once rever-
eHeed for their abilities in this line-must now
bow their heads, and yield the palm to the
editor of the Shenandoah Luminary!

2-Hmrisonb,rg Repsbtican.
Oh. thou most sensible and Intelligent"
thou |'l,uni,ous gent1eman"-hold on!-
and we will endeavor to explain to you the
meaning of vacuum and build as used by
us in our second article on Wing principles ,
l. We will prove that the space unoccupied'
is un-occupied. 2. That the 'sapce unoccupi-
ed is occupied
The space unoccupied,' is not occupied
with an ''adequate recenue' to defray the ex-
penses of the Government That is what we
mean by vacuum 2. The space unoccupi-
ED is occupied by pebble debt, which the
Wings wish to cover with mommoth Bank.
Most noble sir, do you call that 'nothingness2 q
Is that debt tangible? 1t is certainly more so
than the adequate revenue which is-not in
the treasury, is. There is vacuum in the
treasury, and there is public debt hanging
upon the treasury. That debt the Federalists
wish to constitute the basis for National
Bank. That is what we rffean by sbuild.'-
We maintain that we have used the terms
vacuum and build properly; and that those
great photographers, johnson, Webster and
Walker, would sustain us in our position.
We will pay our respects to the rerdant lu-
ninary of the Republican in our next, in re-
ation to our article of last week, in which we
said that we could not see how the original sup
porters of General Jackson could be found in
the ranks Of the Clay-Whigs.

the Ascension on Fifth Avenue, and was per
formed by the Right Rev. Bishop Onderdonk,
assisted BY the Rev DR.. Bedell, the Rector OF
the church.
The whole affair was conducted with the
utmost privacy, at the request OF the brides
family; from melancholy considerations which
will be duly appreciated. Excepting at the
marriage ceremony, the family are still in
mourning,
There were present at thenuptials the moth

TragicoI termination Of the Robbery

Mr.. McKie's carpet bag, with its con-
tents ($TO, O0O, and sentenced on
Thursday to five years confinement in

Friday afternoon, found by the officers
who entered his cell for the purpose OF

was Immediately summoned, but the

had made two attempts upon his own

The Carpet Bag Ro6ber--1t would
seem from an article In the New York
Herald, that the man who committed
suicide in the Albany Jail, has been
concerned in nearly all the great rob-
berries of thelast nine years-and that
he has been several times arrested,
though but once convicted and impris-
oned for his crimes. This was for
the robbery of Pascataqua Bank, Ports
mouth. lie is said to have been the
robber of the Oneida bank, of Leseur-
ye's jewelry shop, Philadelphia, the
Frederick county bank, Maryland, and
the jewellers shopat Cincinnati. He
is thought also to have been connected
with the forgeries ON Jacob Little and
the Girard Bank. The information
establishing or rendering probable these
facts is said to have been derived from
the robber himself while he was confn.
ed in the Albany jail, by consta BILE
Blaney of Philadelphia, who came here
with view to identify the prisoner and
who was Immediately recognized bv
him. His real name by which he had
been known in this city for some wears
for Ire hashad business or pretence
for business here, is Barnes. ID.

Of the country, and to learn that the nomina-
tons of the Democratic Convention are hailed
with such warm enthusiasm by the honest,
hard handed Democracy. The different sec
tons Of the party are now happily united, and
nothing now appears to be wanting to insure a
glorious victory, but a thorough organizati on of
the Republican forces, and firm resolve on
the part of every Individual belonging to the
great Democratic family to work manfully-in
a word, labor in all fitting ways for the glori-

A CoNTRAsT.-The Wings Of Hanover county,
Virginia, in the vicinity of Mr.. CLAWS birth
place, passed unanimously the following noble
sentiment:
Resolued, That we regard as traitors all persons
who place the annexation of Texas before the
stability Of the Union.
How favorably this contrasts with the following
Infamous resolution, passed by the Locofocos at
several meetings in Georgia and South Carolina !:
Resolued, That Nth Texas we are Unionists-
Without IL aOe are Disunionists. ANNEXATION
OR DISSOLUTION!
Or with this, passed with great unanimity at a
Polk Convention in Lawrence county, Alabama !:
.Resolued, That the possession of Texas is inf
nitey more important to US, of this section Of the
Union, than longer connection and friendship
with the northeastern States and if we have to
yield either, it cannot, and shall not be Texas,
because the people Of Texas are more nearly allied
to us in blood and congeniali:y of institutions their
territory more convenient in locality, and infinitely
more valuable in fertility of soil and commercial
advantages, than the Northern States themselves,
from whence now proceeds the present unfrlendly
opposition to our wishes.

contrast-lnark it we'll and act as Wings should
in such an emergency; act az the Wings of the

MICHIGAN.

The Wings Of Macomb county, Michigan, had
rally at the Cabin on Mt Clement on the 10Th
ult, which was SO large that they knocked out
the sdes Of the building that The surrounding
crowd might hear. Mr.. Senator Woodbridge
addressed them, and mentioned the fact that the
Locofoco Legislature Of Michigan declared, on an
overture from Alabama for the admission of Texas
in 1889. by a unanimous vote against it. The
Legislatures Of Ohio, Massachusetts, &c. did the
same thing. And now, he said, when it was
proposed to admit her, loaded with debt of some
twenty millions of dollars, and with the most
odious features, the same party had turned short
about, and without one reason, except the ad-
vancement Of party, were most yociferous for
annexation
