WASHINGTON CLAY CLUB.

4f#NNl
On Monday last, the Wings Of Washington
formed themselves into d Clay Club, for their
more efectual organization in the coming con
test. They hold another meeting on Saturday
ereniiag neal, ut 8 o'clock, when we expect to
see a large gathering. We hope every Wing
will be present.
0z-Beware ofthe pamphlet issued BY the To-
%cofocos, headed ''rhe South in Danger. Read
before you vote" Such incendiary publications
should be burned BY every honest man
Shame on the party that would issue such false
hoods.
G-We learn from the Creole, that the Bar
becue at Lafayette on the 10th inst, at which
the editor was present, Notwithstanding the I'M
favorable appearance of the weather, was a
large and splendid affair. Upwards of FIVE hun
bred persons were present including one hun
bred ladies. Messrs. A. Declouet, I'll. ]. Heard,
Il. G. Nichols and Sample, were the speakers.
The repast was bountiful, and every thing passed
ofFagreeably. The sCreole" says -:
I've cannot i, frain from expressing our heart
felt pleasure at the manifestation of public opin-
ion in that parish, relative to the great struggle
now pending forthc Presidency. The wings Of
Lafayette are thoroughly aroused, and promise
to give a good account of themselves III No
lgember.
We have no doubt, from all the information
we have received, that a larger wing vote will
be polled in that parish, at the election in No.
vember, than at any previous election.

Then, voters of st. Landry, look at the &C.
count rendered, and put your seal of appreciation
to its foot. Our candidate is not only youl
friend, but the friend Of every American princi.
pie ever advocated by the Apostles of Liberty.
His political opinions are too well known for Us
to spenda line in their defence. Mr.. Clay'i
life is part and parcel of our %country's history
and the boast Of all Americans abroad, as vel
as at home. OfMr. Polk, we shall merely say

He is opposed to the Tariff;
Opposed to a u, S. Bank, and in favor of the
