The Berkeley Clay Club met at the Club House
on Friday event ing last, the 2ist inst. David II.
Conrad, Esq, LIST v. p, took the Chair and an
nounced Chas. Jas. Faulkner, Esq., as the Orator
OF the evening. Mr.. Faulkner then addressed the
meeting FOR about ar hour with great eloquence
and power-setting forth amply and fully the great
principles for which the Wings contend
ing After Mr., Faulkner closed, David III. Con
rad, Esq, addressed the meeting for about fifteen
minutes, in speech full Of spirit and eioqaence,
exhorting the Wings TO renewed and vigiiant ac-
ton. This has been Of the most interesting
and stirring meetings held by the Berkeley Clay
Club. The Club. House was crowded TO overflow
ing. The spirit isup in Bsrkeley-we mean TO be
yisilsnt and active to the last. Berkeley means
to do her duty, and she tells her brethren in the
other Counties to arouse and awake, and join her in
her exertions to annihisie Loco Focoism in the
good old Commonwealth. Our motto Is action

II is scarcely worth while TO go into
dry detail Of the particulars OF the case

been struck and protest has been pre-.

Church will be able to cool down some of
the high tempers which appear to DO po-
sessed by too many Of these recent repre-
sentatves.
Not only is this state OF things to be
regretted in view OF lcligion, but it is Sc
riously TO be regretted ia view of our
own glorious political Union. Ii is bad
enough for prostituted politicians to raise
the cry of "disunon," but where minis

their hands in cause like this, virtue
weeps fors Liberty's sake.
II will now require degree of caution
on the part Of the Methodist Church, that
nothing less than her highest responsible

through this gloomy ordeal; aud would
say, as one who regards Methodism as a
system unsurpassed by any other reli-
gious system, that every action on the
part of her members should be taken
with the greatest degree of caution and
prudence. and nothing should be said or
done that savored of the spirit evidently

A GOOD COMPARISON.

A few days since we heard a gentleman draw
the following comparison between the Loco Foco
Party and Capt. Tyler, which we consider as being
too good to be lost.
He said that Tyler reminded him Of poor, hun
gry, hslf-starved hound, that had no home. who,
after having oil over the country in search OF
something to eat, had at last found bone. which
he very gresdily snapped up; but no sooner did he
pick it up than some Eve or six other greedy dogs
took after him in full speed, and run the poo,
halfstarved fellow until he dropped it, when they
took possessonbut, alas; they found meat on it.
He said it was just so with Capt. Tyler and the
Locos. Tyler has been running and hunting all
the Country for the last three years for some
thing to gain popularity and secure his reelection
and at last found something that he thought would
work admrably-the imm sdiate Annexation oil
Texas. But no sooner had the poor fellow found
this dry bone, than the Locos stole it from him and
left him pretty much in the same place he started
from land the Locos, too, were wofuy disap
pointed when they found it to be nothing but bone

seem-to have taken the world by surprise

becomes my duty TO tell you the reasons
why.
The political party of which your asso.
citation forms part, has existed for some
months in this city and county, and having
from my youth taken an interest in politi
cal Affairs and the origin and progress OF
parties, it was natural that this party Of
yours should receive, as it did, from me,
considerable attention, aad that thereby,
| should become acquainted with its prin-
ciples and designs.

quire it, take ga bold and decided stand"
in the defence and protection of the "Hag
OF my country" and Of the institutions
which it is designed 10 protect, and OF
which il is the emblem.
And if have a proper conception of
my own feelings, would be second to no
one IN "resisling the encroachments of
foreigners upon the rights and privileges
of the citizens Of this country" and |
would with equal alacrity resist eli inHu-
ences, whether foreign or domestic, that
would in any degree jeopardize or disturb
those invaluable rights, liberty of con.
science, and freedom of opinion, under
which our country has so long existed in
peace and quietness.
But you ask me to come and aid you
in resisting the "encroaehments offoreign.
ers upon the rights and privileges OF ma
tare born citizens" Your circular and
your party assumes that those who were
by accident born upon The soil of the
United States, have rights and privileges
which those born elsewhere have not
In this assumption | most decidedly differ

the highest, should be attainable by citt-

penGs mainly the preservation and perpe-
tuation ofthose institutions-a party that
has occasionally, as ell others have, been
disgraced by the action of those it has ell.
evated to place and power, but has al.
ways thus far possessed energy ana vital
i:y sufficient 10 enable il to throw off the

party that has always sought to extend the
right of suffrage instead of to diminish it
that would allow man to participate
in the affairs Of government because he

standing, and not because he was born in
a certain place, possessed certain amount
Of property, or professed certain rel-
gion-a party that has never to my knowl.
edge disgraced itself by resorting to mob
law and mob violence to avenge its
wrongs or redress its injuries--a party in
which edi6ces devoted to the worship Of
God and the purposes Of education have
always found favor and protection. Re-
longing 10 this political party, so much
superior to yours in ell respects, | would
be acting very foolishly did leave it for
