TOnr city is truly favored with the best
informed and the most liberaland gentlemanly
body of Clergy, that can. be found in any place
of the size in any country. We have Mr..
Lyon in the Old Presbyterian Church, Mr.
Murrah in the;Methcdist Church, MIR. Elley
in the Christian Church; and we hope we shall
be able to procure the services of Mr.. Halsey,-
who is now on visit to us, in the Episcopal
Church. We heard him on last Sa bbath eve-
eng, and was very much pleased with his eff
fort. We think he gave general satisfaction.
Will the vestry cali him! Our Babtist and
Cumberland Presbyterian Churches, are now
unoccupied, we hear however, the they will be
occupied by ministers this year. Give Us
good and educated ministers, or no ministry
at all. A man is always liberal in proportion
to his information, unless, he be very meanly
organised.

OLD WASHINGTON COUNTY.

It's with pride and pleasure, we behold the un-
ion ssd harmony, that peryades the democratic
ranks, this county. She was long, not only
the mamaotk. but the banner county Of democracy.
To her the democracy in other sections looked
with exulsation- knowing that when her sons
spoke at the polls, it was the death kneI of whig-
gerry. AT the last two elections, in Consequence
of local causes, men became es,ranged from their
political friends, factious demagogues. took advan-
tage OF the times and circumstances, to use them
for their own unhallowed elevation. Their mo-
tlves are now seen, understood, and appreciated
democrats are no longer found, ,exerting themselves
for the election OF wings, and for the defeat of
their friends. They no longer trust in men who
have been endeavorng to beguiIe them into the
support of Henry Clay, and his anti.republican
principes--their better reviler, and the opponent
OF their dearest interest. We feel assured, that
on Monday next she will prove that she is in truth,
redeemed. regenera ted and disen,hraIled +" from
the tramels of Federal whiggery and factious de.
magogues. .--.-s.v
