New Orleans in which, the writer stated that on
the Sunday previous whilst in church he heard
drum: and other martial music in the street. and
on going out he saw Hon. Henry Clay.
Here the Times broke of,quoting no further from
the letter, and thus leaving the impression, and
indeed asserting that the military parade and dss-
ecration Of the Sabbath was in honor Of MIR. Clay
and that he participated in it. The abrupt terni-

Mr.. Editor,-Allow me through the medium Of
your paper. to express the genuine satisfaction
which felt in attending for the first time, the
Clay Club held in your village on the evening Of
the goth. And while cannot sufficiently ex-
press the pleasure with which listened to the re.
marks of the Hon. Gentleman who addressed you !;
remarks sound, practical, and eloquent; remarks
which not only displayed conclusvely the moral
and intellectual might Of the Speaker, and dill
gent anxiety for the prosperity and perpituity Of
our national institutions and liberties; but which
also recommended to US, from personal acquaint-
ance and Investigation, the man who by his abili.
ties and principles is of all others the most emit.
tied to the unanimous sufrages Of free and crate.
ful people while say this and much more gave
me pleasure almost inexpressible, that pleasure
was still further augmented by observing there a
band Of our worthy Wing friends from Goshen who
do not, among themselves, enjoy the privileges Of
such association as does peculiar honor to your
village But though destitute of this, we are
trust the less active in this great and impor-
tant cause of national renovation; a cause which
inasmuch as our own happiness is thereon Deepen.
dant, demands our especial attention. And my
friends, il we have no such conventions in our town
as are incident to other places let convene the
more effectualy at the next spring and presidsn.
tial elections. If we have nosO no Clay CLIO let
us then exhibit one in our town triumphant in sup
port of the gallant candidate whose cause we es-
pouse as our own whose achievements inspire in
rus thrill Of emulation whose name il enrolled on
our political banner-not in support of northern
imam with southern principles, but Of one whose
abilities preclude the possibility of assigning him
ito any particular portion of the union, and whose
principles are based upon the broad welfare of the
nation.
Our friends upon all sides are awakening to this
work and let US not be behind them in vigilance
and activity. In short, friends, let US show our.
selves at the ensuring election as preeminent in
moral and political virtue as we are in national at.
titude. Let us exhibit our true patriotism by our
conduct upon that occasion by conduct candid,
yet firm, not rrationaly arrogant, yet jealous, I'M
shaken and undivided.
