Lexington, Oct. 4, 1928.
The original OF the above statement
and certificate is left at the office of
the Kentucky Gazette, free for the in
spection ola!I parties.
James Clark, one of these signers,
was at that time member OF Congress
from Mr.. Clay's former district, and
the others in italics were then admins
tration men of the highest respectable
ty in Lexington and Fayette counties S,
many of whom are now living.
Now, reader, what are you to think
Of Eenry Clay? If Mr.. Burr was in
nocent of treason, why does Mr.. Clay
stimulate John Binns, Peasants, Ham
mond, Smith, Worsley, and the other
presses unier his party, to assaiI Gen.
Jackson as traitor? If Burr was in
nocent, Mr.. Clay is guilty Of supporting
false witnesses against Gen. Jackson.
If Burr be guilty, then was Henry Clay
TRAITOR. Turn this subject as you
will, it ends in his gull and shame.
And are we, the American people, to
be sold? Are we to barter our birth
rights, the suliragcs of millions of free
men. 10 continue il-gotten power in
such hands? Forbid it, Heaven!

LATEST, in answer to J. M. Clayton, with oul
own annotations:

0c;-A coon of Cadiz by the name of Samuel A.
Russel, undertook afew days since, to murder the
editor of the democratic paper of that place, L
Harper Esq The editor says, that Russe ''struck
him above the left eye, at moment when he was
not looking towards him, violent blow with a
bolt oflead, from the effects of which he fell, and
remained insensble for some time"
Mr.. Harper further says, che has bundant evi-
dence to prove that this attack was premeditated
and was committed coolly, deliberately and with
malice prepense." Is It by numbering democrats
thatth wings expect to succeed in carrying the
election?

The following notice of British in.
reference in the affairs Of Texas, ap.
pears in a late number of the Houston
CTexas) Telegraph:
We now learn, upon the authority OF
Capt. Elliot himself, "that England has
advised Mexico uader no circumstan-
ccS to acknowledge the independence
Of Texas, but to keep up an armistice
with her as long as possible; and in
case successful attempt at annexa-
ton between the United States and
Texas took place, then go 10 ,oar, and
Eaglaad aOouH back her in The cOnest."
This confirms US in the opinion we have
long entertained, that our independ-
ence will never be acknowledged by
Mexico while there is prospect Of
England will resist this
measure as long as it can be resisted
by diplomacy. And our government
journal admits that, "the influence Of
England over Mexico is almost if not
entirely unbounded."

LOW PRICES.

The following article from the New York
Morning News, should be read by every Ameri
can farmer Let it be read carefully, that it may
be understood. How long are our farmers TO
submit to be taxed by few northern manufac-
turers?
"Ihe low prices of agricultural produce, more
particularly flour, is matter of very serious
interest, not only to farmers, whom it more imme-
dately concerns, but to merchants and manufac-
turers, who look to the farmers for sale of Their
goods, The prices of flour were never so low or
heavy as now, and the How prices are undoubtedly
the effect of the decrease of our external trade,
consequent upon the present tariff The state of
affairs which existed between this country and
Great Britain, when the harvest of that country
failed in 1888, was in a position emnenty calcu-
lated to foster the interests of this country at large,
by the sudden, destruction of intercourse caused
by raising the tariff of this country from level
oil 20 to Sc per cent, turned the channel of trade
forcibly from this market, and compelled England
to buy of the north of Europe, the nations of
which have in the last four years largely increased
their purchases of British goods in return for the
corn she buys of them. In 1888, the import of
corn into Great Britain was paid for in specie;
subsequently, down to the year 1871, although
the import of corn continued, the export of specie
to pay for it ceased, but the export of goods
increased. The latter in the last two years being
excluded from the United States, the import of
flour from the United States has nearly ceased-
The following is table of the import of wheat
