The Whig papers fthe South seem 10 regard
Mr., Clay's letter most decidedly in favor Of

been raised against him by his enemies in the
South for his supposed unfriendly feelings to.
wards Texas, passed on an unjustifable con-
structon Of his Raleigh letter The assertion
has been made over and over again, from the
stump and the press, in this quarter, that the
annexation of Texas to this Union, under no
circumstances, would be likely to find favor
with Mr.. Clay; and his friends have been deficd
TO prove the reverse. The proof is now fur

CLAY CONSISTENT IN INroSsIsTENcH.--The
editor of the Louisville Democrat thinks that
in one thing "hard" justice has not been awar-
ded to Henry Clay by his political opponents.
"llis consistency has been doubted" "Now,"
says our Democratic contemporary "we know
of no politician who has been more consistent
than he has. We have known him TO be for
Democracy and against Denocracy-for a
National Bank and against National Bank
for protective tariff and against protective
tariff-for military cheftain for President, and
against one-Jor the annexation of Texas and
against annexaton-Jfor the institution OF ma.
sonry and against it, After all this and much
more, of the same sort, pho can say that Henry
Clay has not been consivtent-at least in IN
consistency"

Destruction Of the Potato Crop,

In consequence Of the very general
complaint OF destruction Of the pota.
Ito crop ia this section, by some new
and unknown agent, causing them Ia
decay partially in the field, and wholly
IN masses after they are harvested,
was induced to make an examination ol
several specimens Of diseased potatoes
the results Of which examination ,hasty
and crude as they are, | subm TO the
public, for the purpose OF calling the
attention Of scientific farmers to the
subject.
By an examination OF several varic-
Ties Of potatoes, from the same and diff
lercnt locations, think traced the
disease from lis first attacks to its con
sumption more commonly, though not
exclusively, in connection with green
tops, on late crops. 1t commences in
the eve or germ Of the future plant
which frs, dies, and from this point it
spreads wider and deeper ill the whole
potato decays.
In connection with AL its stages, ex.
cept its mos. advanced decay, bot aore
particularly IN ITS incipicnt attacks, are
found moggois or larra, and other crea-
lures which ! shall call insects; and
even in the most decayed specimens,
there are, apparently, traces Of their
mischeyious work. The Iarva or worms
average about a line in length-are
slender dark heads, semi-trans-
parent bodes--and are sluggish in their
movements.
The insects are, soOe, Invisible to
the naked eye-others mere visible
white point-and others still nearly a
line in length with numerous short legs
long antennn, of Il white color, extreme.
y active and shy.
Now without saying that the insects
are the same creature as the worm in &
more advanced and perfect state, ol
| that the disease and decay are the re-
suit ofther depredaiions, ! merely say
| that, so far as | have observed, the,
are concomtanrs. | hope farther in.
vesrgaiions will be maze to dlscovc,
the cause and remedy Of so great al
evil. SAML HARTWELL.

Locoroco RowDYIsn.-The Wings ofNew
York had grand mass meeting near National
Hall, on Thursday evening last, which, from
NIL accounts, even the Journal Of Commerce
admits, was one of the largest ever held in the
city by any party. The mulltudes were ad-
dressed from nine different stands at the same
time by eloquent and distinguished speakers.-
The display Of banners, torches, &c, was be
yond all precedent, and no meeting equal in
numbers or enthusiasm over assembled in the
city Of New York.
The unadu;oratad malignity Of locofocoism,
alarmed by this immense demonstration Of the
Wings, displayed itself by most wanlon, wick.
ed aud murderons attacks during the evening
The members Of the infamous "Empiro Club"
were prominent in this barbarous warfare.
They first marched thro' the Wings with ban.
ncrs and music, and by insults and yells and
misses, attempted to provoke fight, and final
ly made an attack outright, with clubs, slung
shot and knives, endeavoring TO destroy the
banners, beating, proslratlng and trampling
,pon tho bearers. " Show your knives bows -
"Show your knives !" WAS the gcGeral cry OF
the leaders Of these rascals. Several of the
Whigs were badly cut and bruised, aud severe.
ly injured. The attacks were without provo.
cation, and show palpably the desperate ma
!gnity which actuates these Iocofoco rowdics
One of tho leaders was "A notorious manslaye er,
and another ruliian, the Triblne says, II pugl.
ist, lately sentenced to the Ponitentary, for
m assault on female, but instantly pardoned
by Gov Bouck, before he could be sent to prs.

Ever since the 10Th there have been
evening addresses in and around Boston,
from the able men who are visiting this
city. On Saturday evening spirited
meeting was held out of doors at West
Roybury Jamaica plain where that
capital Wing, Peter Farley, presided,
and most effective address of an hour
and half was pade by Col. II. Y.

Rhode Island.
The honorable gentleman confined
himself chiefly to an exposition Of the
affairs of Rhode Island, and more lucid
and convincing argument on the troubles
of that gallant State ! never heard. 1t
cannot fail to do good, and has corrected
the views OF many who were present -
Mr. Cranston Is very sensible man,
perfectly at home upon all the details oI

fluent speaker. lie ought to deliver
that address in your city before the elcc-

conviction. Mr.. Cranston is the archi-
tect of his own fortune has arrived at
his honorable station by sef-sacrfcing
devotion to his country, and ! know few
men who can produce better impressions

mired his good taste and nodesty. Mt

Judgment Of discreet, we'll informed mer
in the several Counties. In this City
we kno,o there can be no majority for
Polk, unless obtained by fraudulent and
double voting, and that the Wings are
determined to prevent, ut whatever cost.
We are quite aware that the aspect ol
tho canvass here will be very much
frightened or darkened by the result OF
the October Elections, to which all are
looking with such anxious interest -
Should Pennsy ylvania declare for US, the
play is over. Should the Wings carry

pointed as cruelty as in 1889, when
Maryland, Ohio and Pennsylvania went
agains, us and New Jersey was tied and
left in dispute, New York, as then, will
sternly and proudly roll back the tide Of
Misrule, and relumne with gladness and
confident hope the countenances Of the
Wings throughout the Union. She has
resolved that Henry Clay shall be next
President, and will not be swerved from
her purpose.

thus fulfilling one of the principal conditions
on u compliance with which Mr.. Bu,ler's

actual deficiency of $4,000 in the amount o
$4,000 required to be raised on or before The

known, than many benevolent individuals
several Of whom are connected with Rhod,
Island by no ties Of residence, came promptly
to the rescue, and, by contributions mosr
liberal, converted not only dependency into
hope, but hope into confidence.

TnE SEPTEMBER GALE.-Tho equinnctial
gale, which is commonly expected about the
2Oth of Sept. passed over so many days beyond
its usual time, that it was thought to have Civ.
On us tho goby altogether, but it came at last,
aud with no less severity than on former smi.
lar occasions. 1t commenced here on Satur.
day night aud continued blowing from the
North east until noon Sunday, when the
wind veered to the SSW. and blew from tina,
quarter with increased violence until near mid.
night. The damage so far as we can learn,
considering the severity of the storm, has not
been very extensive b. sen or land, in this vi.
cinity. One vessel was lost, as will be- seen
under the marine head, aud we understand
some damage was done TO the fruit ard other
trees on the Island. The tower erected on the
top of Tammany Hill, blew down on Sunday
evening, crushing and iujuring very materially
the bowling alleys few feet north of il.
Tho gale was also very severe in New York
and Philadelphia, doing considerable damage
TO the shipping, &c, 1t was not SO severe al
the East ~ might have been expected
