The State Rights Republican party Of his city
assembled a, the Cour, House "Wednesday even
ing, he Sd inst, at candle light. On motiol of A.
G. Souihall, Esq, DR.. Robert NJ. Garrett wa called
to the Chair and Parkes Slater appointed Secretary
DR.. Garrett explained the object of the meeting in
neat and impressive speech of about twenty minutes
duration, stating, amongst other things, hat the
meeting had been called for the purpose of expressing
an opinion as to The rejection by the Senateof the
treaty for annexng Texas TO this Union and taking
such other action in relation thereto, the meet
ING might seem proper. When the Doctor resumed
his seat il being known that Robert e. Scot, Esq,
of the city of Richmond in town and would
probably take part in the proceedings, a committee
was despatched to invite Mr.. Scott 10 address the
meeting. In compliance with this request Mr. Scott
very soon appeared and when he assembled the stand
his presence was greeted with npplsus, long and loud
SO soon quiet was restored, "a Scott commenced
and for hour and half commandl the close and
dtep rvetted attention of the largest and most enials
astc audience that has assembled in Willabburg for
many years As he depicted the inesiim,bIe advan-
tages which must flow from the immediate re-anne
ton of Texes to the u States-,he deep and lating
| and shameless turncoaiisn of Henry Cia' in his
views on this question, and the gross and criminal
betrayal Of Southern rights and interests by hose to
whose fidelity and loyalty these rights and lite rests
had been entrusted by confding constituency; and
as he presented to view the awful prccpice Il which
the county had been hurried by the partisan of the
day. the interest Of the numerous and dense auditory
was and testified, by such manieted de-
monslrations of high-wrought feeling, 10 have
doubt that, however the rest of the Commonwealth
might act in the coming struggle, old WaidRsbtrg
IL cradle Of Liberty would be true to the principles
that gave birth TO gior ioS Repoluiion. IN the
course Of his remarks he frequently called On any

my Tor reply, but no gallant Knight Of the Clay
party could be found bold and rash enough Il enter the
list aga nst this champion of the peoples case. Mr.
Scott Ieok bold and strong ground in deleue of the
Democratic principles of John Tyler, and ably and
triumphanty indicated him against the charges and
misrepresentation Of Mr.. Clay and bis n,lmidons.
When Mr. Scott concluded the house resou,ded over
and over again with the most rapturous applause.

trio'ic feeling as to oppose measure fraught with
such immense advantages TO our Union.
aT,rI NJ. Al
party, Henry Clay, we recognize the man who has
Tor years been warning against the Souh on almost
every vital question: and that in addition 10 his Fed
erai and oppressive measures of Bank, Tariff and
Distribution, his present position justly entities him 10
'he distinction OF beng the first Of all the d,,;snsh-
ed men Of this country who in hour, dared 10
plot ueason against the Lad OF his birth.
3. Resoirsd That Henry Clay, in the opinion of
this meeting, unworthy the confidence and support
Of every true lover Of his country and we .iously
look forward 10 November next when We feel CON
hdent that the American people will pronounce his
condemnation IN voice that will make all traitors
tr,mble.

ors IN relation TO Teras, proves concusvly 10 our
Minds that their love Of country is second 10 tbor Of
acbment TO Henry Clay, and that William C. Riyes
'ho, while strongly in favor Of annexation voted ia
eject II, presents an unexamped instance of the
most shameless abandonment OF those PRINCIPLES and
