ElR. CLAWS PEosPrcTs IN TEYHEs-
srr.-The whig press and whig po,iti-
clans, throughout the Union, claim the
vote Of Tennessee for Mr.. Clay. This
claim is set up in the face Of facts, that
to our mind, pace all such prctentions
in the light Of an extremely forlorn
hope. In 10 account that has fallen IN
der our notice, ofthe state ofthe popular
feeling in Tennessee, upon the subject
of the Presidency, have we seen any
thing 10 justify the oft repeated declara-
tiOu Of the coon orators, that Mr.. Clay
is the choice Of the people of that state.
What great public act of Mr.. Clay's,
since 1899, has wrought this miraculous
change in public sentiment in Tonnes
see, favorable 10 the whig candidate
ior the Presidency? We know of none,
and as we said before, can hear of none.
The people Of Tennessee, have had two
opportunities TO vote for Mr.. Clay for
President, and have as often rejected
him-and in November. we shall see him
thrice rejected; not only by the gallant
Tcnnessccans, but by the great mass oi
he people throughout the Union.

THE CELEBRATION AT HIGGINS,
PORT.

The Democratic triumph achieved at
the recent electisn, was celebrated with
appropriate ceremonies, and demonstra'
tions Of JOY, by the citizens Of Higgins
port and the surrounding county, on
last Saturday. Early in the morning,
the loud roaring of the cannon dlrec-
ted the attention Of the people, for
many miles round, to The festive scene,
whittier many Of them repaired 10 parlic-
ipaIe in ibe joyful proceedings. About
noon the assembled pe"ple formed apro'
cession, and, prsceded by music, march
ed through the principal streets Of the
Town, to MIR. Smiths Ware house where
a most excellent repast was prepared by
Mr.. Thompson. After dinner, Hon. I.

ing in shert but very appropriate and ell
oquent speeches, which were loudly and
enthusiastically apPlauded by The people.
At night an eli log hodse, standing on
the bill back Of the town, and belonging
to Mr.. Jesse Dugin, was, by his permis-
sion and objection, set on fire, which
brightly Illuminated the town, and shed
its light |or many miles up and down the
rver-the light being even visible at this
pace. A torch light procession was
formod-but as the wind blew too hard
for the lights, the procession disbanded
after marching through Front sree,.
The festivities of the day were closed
by social dance.
The whole proceedings we're charac,
ized by good order, harmony aud good
feeling--which were greatly enhanced BY
the presence ola large number ofLadies
who graced the occasion.
We have not been furnished with cop

HEARTLEss MURDER.

We are indebted to friend for the fol

On or about the 9Th nlt., an English
man cane TO Valley Furge Chester coun

with man residing there, amed Peace.
Having been with him three or four
days, they 10th went out cunning togeth-
er, but with only one gun. Peace re-
turned some time in the course Of the
day, without his companion
This sudden loss of the man, excited
an interest iol his safety, anlonquiry and
search were made for him, until be was
found in the eghboring wood, dead
Hs was Immediately buried; aud soon at.
ter, fears began TO be enlrria'ned
that he had come 10 his d+tlb IN
an improper manner. The p cualary
rCunslances Of Peace had be very
embarrassing for some time, and he
hsd been pressed very mich inr mnn'Y.
Dheclly, Peace was found to poss S. an
unusual quantity Of il, aud win il oisN
charged some debts, one Of VIII: amOuas
led TO about S6l. The ENglishnsn was
puOT, yet, the sudden reverse IN the G =
cumslances and conduc, Of Peace, il
duced a general suspicion Iba, hr had
been The perpetrator Of The murder nt
the former. Accordingly, on S-lnr ay
last, the 18th inst, he VS. srresl, d. and
underwent an examination bsfore Jns'
tice Of the Peace, in the vic uiy. He
could no, account for the receipt of more
than $25 Ofall the money in his posses
sion. The $6l abo7e mentioned was
paid on the day af the mans disappear
ance, whereas, he insisted that il IS paid
long before; this debt was moreover, paid
by ten dollar notes, lOne Of which he
could account for. The Circums,anlial
evidence adduced, was so strOng against
