seen, by referring to our first page, that a
Convention, composed Of delegates from
The different Clay Clubs in the State, is to be

lHesgs. Editors!
DEAR Slns--lt CHANGED to me that THE

into my hand, by mere fortuily, this morn

hand for would not have you, or any one
else. suppose rnv IN rnv~nu of reoai,,s,
such papers. read several loco papers,
but would be sorry to have you, for mo
ment, think they were such as the said $50
Der Second Thought"
Well, in this same "Sober Second
Thought" | see the following communica-
ton, dated,
"Middletol0n, Miss, July 9th, 1914,
"The work goes bravely on in this re-
gion. In the space of one short month
can enumerate between forty and ftiy
gentlemen in this county who have here
tolore supported the wings. but now de-
clare themselves pizen to Clay and Ere.
linghuysen," &c.
Again, he says:
although this county (CarrolD was
twelve months ago Wing by sixty maiori-
ty, you may set it down for Polk and
Dallas and mo mistake" As for the State,
we cannot find Wing with impudence
enough 10 claim it for Clay"
This, Messrs. Editors, with divers and
sundry EXPLANATIONS of how much good il
does heart to see certain names now en-.
rolled with the locos who were once not Of
Them make up The burthen of the above
letter. With regard TO the names which
he can truly claim, if any, as coming over
70 them, they are only such as the wings
would draw an erPunging line around, as
The ocos do around minute of the Con.
gressional debates, which may chance to
be obnoxious to some Of their political di-
whites.
But the glorious intelligence relative to
old Carroll, to his friend Of the Sober Sc.
cond Thought, is, doubtless, much cacula-
ted to cheer the dropping hopes Of that func-
uonary of the quill. And do not question
the possibility of his northern friends be-
lleving the assertion; for any man or party
who can believe J. X. Polk to be in favour
OIL and against a protective tariff at the
same time, or that he is brave man, even
having Jaackson's certificate 10 attest the
fact, or that his grand father was whir Of
'76, or that J. X. is himself respectable
third rate politician, can believe any thing
however Incredible; yes, even that "fortv
or .Gtty" wings of Carroll county have
changed to DemOcracyll
Now Messrs. Editors, have been in
and through good portion Of Carroll coon-
ty. and from all that | can learn, | think il
very PrOblema.ic whether he can point out
one fourth or fifth Of said changes; like the
Western statesman. (Carrollton, Miss.) 1844-1845, 1844-08-24
ILLINOIS.

We have but few official returns from
this State, but the superstition is that par
ties are very near equally divided in this
State-but she will give her vote to Clay in
November next, as sure as that the grass
grows on her prares. We copy the follow
ing from the SmithIand Bee - Vick. Wig.
The returns from Illinois are very mea-
gre. In White county, we learn, the whole
wing ticket is returned; if this is correct,
it is an entire gain. In Madison county
the whole wing ticket, except the Sheriff,
is elected. Schuyler and Hancock coun-
ties returned all IocofocoS.
Douglass, loco, is thought TO be re-elec-
ted TO Congress. Hoge, ocofoco, is be-
lieved to be elected TO Congress by the
votes of the Mormons. Nauyoo gave Hoge
a majority Of 1000 votes, while the Wing
candidate received but 30. The election
of Baker, whg,to Congress is considered
certain. Illinois has but one wing repre-
in the present Congress, and
should locfocoism sweep the State, our loss
could be easily borne.
We have heard of the election of | whig
member of Congress, but from what dis
trict we do not now recolect.
INDIANA.
Indiana is wing beyond doubt Last
year the locofocos had majority of IL on
joint ballot. Below we give sufficient re-
turns to show that the wing gains are more
than enough 70 neutralize the locofoco ma
iority OF last year. Hurrah for Indiana I

Below we give returns, sa far as they
have come to hand, from the elections in
the several States where they have been
recently held In Kentucky, North Caro-
lima and Indianas there is no doubt but that
the wings have been successful, while Mis-
souri, gives promise of coming over to swell
the glorious triumph. Alabama and iii.
nois are decidedly democratic. The re-
turns from the latter States come 10 slowly.
The returns will continue will be given as
they come in, until the whole are received.

From the MiddLeSer Standard.
Correction,

The Philadelphia Gazette and other journals
concur in pronouncing the extract TO which the
note refers, sheer forgery. The body
of the extract according to the Bay State Demo-
crat, was taken from Featherstonhaugh's Excur-
sion through the Slave States, Harpers' edition,
mare &c. with the fraudulent addition OF the brand
ing story. We take the earliest opportunity our
columns afford to put the matter right with our
readers, by repubIishng the following note:
To The Editor of the Advertiser:
In the Middlesex Standard of last week, cop
led, with such indignant comments as the atroclty
related, naturally called forth, an article from the
Ithica, N. Y, Chronicle, in which was given what
purported to be an extract from the journal OF
gentleman traveller in the U. S., charging me
Hon. James K Polk with branding his slaves with
the initials of his name, and | have Just learned
that the whole matter is forgery. Unwilling to-
do Injustice to any man-and believing that as a
STAKEHOLDER, James X. Polk, in common with hen
nv CLAY, has already, sins enough to answer lor'
without charging him falsely wish TO avail my
self of the early issue of thy paper to MAKE a
Il nromut correction of the error into Whlch nave
been led by the authors of this base forgery.
As Liberty man, have no motive to mlsrep-
resent either the wing or democratic cahdldates'
Both are slaveholders--both are hostile to eman-
cipation in any form, and as such they are on
i nerfpct eouality with each other, and have no
claim to abolition support
!, Respectfully, thy friend,

Thai the nature of this remonstrance to the Mexl-

efficiently taking measures to keep them in check

Things remained in this position five days, the
Senate prolonged its session after all the public
business was disposed of, in order to keep the two
veteran duelists under restraint. At the end Of
that time, reconciliation took place. Mr.. King
stated that he did not intend any disrespect to Mr..
Clay in the remarks he made. Mr.. Clay remark
ed that, cit was under the impression that his OBJ
ecl was personal offence that addressed some
remarks to the Chair, which intended as DELHI
crate offence to that Senator. Ready therefore at
all times, promptly to repair an injury, as HOPE
EVER SHALL BE TO REPEL AN INDlGNITY, WISH
to Withdraw any epithet that is derogatory to the
character of Mr.. KING"
And what is Mr.. CIay's present position in re-
gard to duelng? Has he or has he not repented
of his dues, and pledged himself TO fight no more!
Let him speak for himself Alex. Pummer and
few Others, addressed letter to Mr.. Clay, on this
polnt. The following is an extract from his an
swer dated Ashland, Aug. 1st, IA,
" But you ask me whether, if | were ever chal-
lenged to fight duel would reject the invitation.
; Considering my age, which is now 81, feel that

proclaim whether | would or would not fight,
= duel 1t is certainly one Of the most unlikely e.
vents that can be possibly imagined; and cannot
conceive case in which should be provoked or
tempted TO 60 to the field Of combat. But as
cannot foresee all the contingencies which may
possbly occur in the short remnant of my life, and
for the reasons which have already stated, OF a
yoiding any exposure of myself to ridicuIe, can
not reconcile ii 10 my of propriety to make

,at With these facts leave the subject wlthou
ut anv comments-none are necessary, for one would

ever made one prayer for righteous rulers, or ha
wv any regard for the welfare of posterity and tn
&C. prosperity of our moral and religious institutions
