ROCK AND WALWORTH cos.

The doines of the democracy of Rock
and Walworth counties, preparatory to the
fall elections, will be found in our paper of
to-day. An excellent ticket is presented
for the support ofthe democrats of that dis
trici. We may be mistaken in our sources
of information, but we have taken some
pains TO inquire, and believe the ticket will
be elected entire. We know with proper
exertion it can be and we therefore urge
upon every democrat, an active and vigorous
support of the nomination. Walworth coun-
ty can, and we believe will, give demo-
cratic maiority-Rock will show close
contest, and at worst, we do not believe
that Ter wLig majority will equalize the de-
moeratic majority of Walworth. The demo-
Gratis have the streng,h-let them, by vigo-
rous and efficient measures, bring it all out,
and victory is theirs. A friend writes US
from that district as follows:
s. We are in good spirits and well united,
and all things look favorable in this county,"

FAcTs.-The Wings of Brown have got
pledges for their candidates for the Legisla-
ture, that they will go for the repeal of the
law of The last Legislature which allows TO-
reigners, after residence of three months
in lie Territory, TO vote for delegates TO
form State constitution.
The Milwaukee Sentinel, ('he organ OF
the Wings in Milwaukee county,) goes in
distinctly for the repeal of that law, and
thinks its repeal a matter Of vital importance.
What the views of the wing candidates OF
Racine are on that point, we are not aware
bat we believe it can be proven, that one OF
the candidates for the lower House has dis
timely declared that he will never vote for
foreigner, under any considerations.
Are these the liberal and inst men 10
meet our support.

med TO have been in attendance at the de

The Wings claim about $4,000 at then

into account that Albany has population of
81 900, and the facilities for getting there
from all the Hudson river country, this &C
count may not be exaggerated

0FWe have always believed it to be high

people; thereby he may be the better ena-

candidates for the Council-to hear from

lieve they will have no hesitation, but on the
contrary will be happy to meet the people at

WIG TICKET.

The ticket nominated at the wing conven-
ton at Rochester, Will be found in another
column. -Four of the towns of the county
were not represented, and others but partial
ly. We learn that there was any thing and
every thing but harmony at this assemblage
of our wing brethren. Much confusion pre-
vailed, the result of which was nomination
hi ahly satisfactory 10 the democracy, but
creating much surprise and chagrin to their
opponents, whose business it is more espe-
ciahy. The Council nomination is consi-
dcred complete failure, the most sanguine
Of the wings not anticipating its success.
The candidates for the House we are not
acquainted with; they are probably good
wings, but as they have good democrats to
run against, they cannot anticipate success
with any confidence. The main effort of
the wings will be on the Sheriff. They
hope to elect this officer, from the ciycum-
stance that the candidate of the abolition
party has heretofore been popular and pro-
mincnt democrat. This hope, we think,
will prove fallacious. We can conceive of
no consideration, either of personal friend
ship or any thing else, which could influence
a democrat to abandon his own party TO de-
feat, by throwing away his vote on the aboli-
ton candidate. Personal friendship fol this
candidate would prompt to different course.
Those who know him, know that next to his
own party, his best wishes are with the de-
mocrats; if there was any chance of his sue
cess, he might perhaps desire votes from this
cause, but we believe we do not belle his
feelings when we express the opinion, that
unless man can vote for hun from the die
tates of the principle upon which he was no.
minated, he would rather he would stay
with the party to which he belongs, than
by voting for him through personal friend
ship, assist in the success of the men and
principles, which he most heartily condemns.
We cannot believe that any democrat will
have disposition TO abandon his party no.

of personal friendship, and more particularly
when such persona! friendship will not help

O. Read the extracts and comments in
another column, from and on Clay's letter.
Alas! how are the mighty fallen. This is
the man who, three months since, appeared
TO be marching to the Presidency more like
victor than one whe had his battle yet to
fight. He seemed like Xerxes of old, 60
ing forth with hosts, not TO conquer coun-
try but TO take possession of it. How like
the same mighty potentate does the result
promise. The result of the recent state
elections have been to him as the pass of
Thermopelay, and in his fright and confu
bring him 10 the plain ofMarathon in Noyem-
Der next
We need not comment on the position in
which this letter places Clay, nor will our
readers be at any loss TO estimate its effect,
so far as he is concerned. 1t is very true,
as Seward says, that on the abolition vote IL
New York, do the hopes of Whiggery main
ly depend. But what becomes of it now
VIII it do tell man that he must vote for
Clay to prevent the annexation of Texas and
the extension and perpetuaton of slavery.
He will tell you, in the language Of Clay:
II DO NOT THINK THE QUESTION
OF SLAVERY SHOULD AFFECT 1T.
IT WOULD BE UNWISE TO REFUSE
A PERMANENT ACQUISITION FOR
A TEMPORARY INSTITUTION"
Alas! for Governor Seward and his wing
abolition speeches; Othello's occupation S
gone. The man of straw, Mr.. Burchard,
can retire, like the stage harlequin, through
the same trap door by which he assembled !;
his part of the farce is concluded and he is
wanted no longer. This letter will have a
tremendous influence in New YORK and the
New England states, aud with moderate and
reasonable wings, must be conclusive of
Clay's downfall,

FIRST DISTRICT CONVENTION
VERMONT AWAKE.
THE VOICE OF THOUSANDS -

The Convention at Manchester of which
an account will be found in this paper, wa,
ofan imposing and cheering character
From every section Of the country we hear
of immense gatherings of the ever-active
Whigs-and 1t its source of qualification
te see that in Vermont the people too, are
awake to their true interests and are deter
mined upon doing their full duty. This
Convention was called for the purpose OIL
nominating candidate TO represent this
district in Congressman as no two opin-
ions existed as 10 the man 10 be selected. we
are 10 infer that the immense multitude as.
scmbled on this occasion were brough, TO-.
gelher BY the ardor of tina, feeling which
burns SO brightly in the breast of every true
Vermonter. We have of late seenit as.
serted in many Of the Locofoco papers
that the ever-free hills Of old Vermont, are
ringing with the shouts of Polk, Dallas, and
Texas This they say is now The cry in
the heretofore strong holds of Federal
Coonism. We have heard This cry once,
and 6ut once. Upon the arrival of the in.
teligcnce of the nomination ofthe Polk and
Dallas ticket, and the desertion Of the north.
ern portion of this party, TO the south,
such cry arose from the doomed ship Of
Locoiocoism, as once heard, can never be
forgotten. 1t was the cry of despair,-as
they saw The last disappearing ray of the
star OF their hope!, 1t was such cry, as
comes from the deck Of the laundering YES.
sci at sea, in the dark and staress mig hl
1t was such cry as is often heard from the
gully and trembling cuipri, as he receives
from his judge the sentence Of his final con-
domination. II there was any evidence need.

the utter hopelessness Of his cause in this
State, and 10 satisfy him oflhe ialsiiy Of the

CANDID. While an effort is being made
to deceive Pennsylvania into belief that
Mr. Polk is in favor Of the protective policy
we are pleased to meet occasicnallywi,h one
OF that party, who speaks out the truth in
candor The Carlisle Statesman, a Poke
paper published at Carlisle, Pennsylvania,
recently had an article on this subject from
which the following IS extracted:
1t is so utterly dishonest and ridiculous to
attempt to support Mr.. Polk as the friend of
the Tariff, of 1912 or any protec,lveTauf
that we hope to sec every effort Of the kind
discontinued by our democratic friends
Protection is not the doctrine of our cand.
date any more than that ofour party---and
none but dishonest, sneaking politicians and
designing hypocritcs, who have not the
courage TO avow true democratic principlcs,
VIII attempt to create such an impression.
Since the accession of General Jackson the
democratic party have gradually reccded
from the Protective doctrine which il held
prior 10 that lime. aud is now, essen
tally. Revenue Tariff party. The whole
course OF Governor Polk, whilst in Con
gres, proves HIM to be hostile to protective
duties, and in favor ola system approach
ing as near as practicable to Free Trade.
He is supported in every Southern State
and IN Tennessee where he resides, and
where it is presumed his sentiments are
well known, as the friend and advocate of
low revenue duties, in opposition to direct
protective duties. He is, therefore, what
we call low tariff man; and as such must
stand or fall before the American people,
IL he cannot be supported upon this ground,
he cannot honestly be supported at all, for
such is the doctrine he avows, and such the
position he occupies before the country.
