BRIDPORT CLAY CLTR.

The correspondent who sent us the follow
ing resolutions, informs US that they were
passed by very spirited meeting assembled
to organize Clay Club. Young and old
we're present, and spoke forth feelings of firm
resolve to exert every effort for the elevation
Of the great statesman and peerless patriot of
the west to the presidency of the Republic.
Resolved, That all the sovereignty recog-
nized in our republican form of government.
remains in the hands ofthe people; and there
fore it not only is their prerogative, but their
incumbent duty TO exercise this sovereignty
for the promotion of their individual interests
and the preservation of the general welfare
Resolved, That as freemen and republi-
cans, we consider it our duty to oppose OPP
preston, extravaganza, misrule and treachery
in every form in which they are presented.
Resolved, Tha; in the policy of the last
administration, we behold oppression, misrule,
extravaganza and treachery combined, which
if not overthrow, will ultimately prove the
ruin of that form of government which we
are sworn TO protect.
Resolved, That although we have been
deceived and betrayed by the present incum-
bent Of the Presidential chair, our cause re-
mains the same; and that it must and will ul-
timately triumph.
Resolved, That although betrayed, we
are not discouraged nor disheartened, but feel
ourselves strengthened and refreshed by this
purging Of our political ranks.
Resolved, That as wings, we pledge our
selves to press onward in the glorious cause
which we have undertaken, and never to re-
lInqush it until the glorious object of our
contest is obtained, and our star spangled ban
ner once more floats in triumph over truly
free and prosperous country.

THE HISTORY OF WOOL.

On the first page of our paper our readers
will find letter from the Hon. William Jarvis
of Weathersfeld to L. d. Gregory, Esq. of
Weybridge, which must be highly interesting
TO wool growers. As statement in relation
to the management of the focks in Spain,
and correct history of the introduction of the
Merinos into the United States, it is indeed
an invaluable document, and adds another
important item to the credits which should
be given the author by whose foresight more
than to that of any other man living is to be
attributed the present Aourishing condition of
sheep husbandry in this country. What is
related by Mr.. Jarvis. is of most reliable
character, having resided in the Spanish Pc
ninsula for many years in an official capacity,
and in a situation to acquire the most correct
information in relation TO the best aocks, and
to embrace the most favorable opportunities
of selecting from them and sending the most
valuable varieties to this country.
Nothing could have been more seasonable
than this epistolary effort on the subject Of
sheep from the pen Of one whose authority
is hardly to be contested. 1t will correct ma
ny essential errors, and put an extinguisher
upon numerous brilliant speculations which
have recently been set on foot by men who
pretend to have sheep of that description
which accident or design have rendered the
popular, and will consequently command
the highest price.
The different varieties of the merinos i'm
ported into this country have been so inter-
mixed, that no individual can safely claim
pure blood belonging to either. Indeed grea,
errors prevail in relation to the peculiarities
of each Of the Spanish Aocks. The Paular
recently brought into such high repute in the
Cultivator. and there described with huge
Dewlap, loose skin, answers far better to the
Negrettis, than to the representation of any
other sheep spoken of by Mr.. Jarvis as i'm
ported from Spain. The intermixture of
bloods has no, been confined 70 the Merisos. 1
