bers to Congress-" and TO the Bills of Pains
and Penalties attempted 10 be fastened
upon us by Col. Benton and his Clique
compeers.
Resolved, That the free trade party have
shown themselves to be destitute of Demo-
cratic Principles, in refusing to recognise
the editor of the Reporter and other edi-
tors, as democrats, because they dared to
be free and oppose error in principle, with
which the free trade party cannot succeed
before the people.
Resolved, That as we believe there are
many true Wings with the free trade party
who are blinded and deceived by their as
sumed name of Democrat, and led astray
by prejudice and early education, that we
therefore recommend to our friends to hold
county conventions in their respective
counties and invite our opponents TO attend
and discuss the points at issue. For this
purpose we suggest TO the Central Club Of
this county the propiiety of appointing a
time and place for such convention.
After the adoption of the foregoing pre-
amble and resolutions, the following was
adopted, and signed by the Club.
ReSolued, That we whose names are
hereunto attached, will be prevented by
nothing but sickness, death, or some unfor-
seen accident or casualty, from attending
the polls in August and November next,
and casting our votes for those who will be
most likely to carry into effect the princi-
pies of the wing cause.
RESOLVED, That the proceedings of this
meeting be signed by the Chairman, at
tested by the Secretary, and a copy for
warded to the Editors of the Boon's Lick
Times, with requst that they give it a
place in their paper: and that the Glasgow
Pilot be requested to copy the same.
Resolved That the Club now adjourn to
meet again on the I'd Saturday in June next
at IL o'clock, at VIM. Harvey's school,

and three miles south of Roanoke.

aud recommended to the people Of the United
States for Vice President.
Speeches were made from different persons,
from different States, who had voted for the un-
successful candidates, declaring their entire salts
faction at the result, and pledsing themselves and
their constituents, to give hearty support to the
nominees. MIR. Johnson Of Maryland, at the
close Of his speech, offered the following resolu
tons, which were unanimously adopted.
Resolved, That in presenting TO the country
the names Of HENRY CLAY for President, and
of THEODORE FRELINGHUYSEN for
Vice President, this Convention is actuated by
the conviction that all the great principles Of the
Wing party-principles nseparable from the
public honor and prosperity-will be maintained
and advanced by the election Of these candidates.
ReSolDed, That these principles may be sum'ed
as comprising: A we'll regulated National Cur.
rency-a Tariff for Revenue, to defray the neces.
sary expenses Of the Government, and discrimi
mating with special reference to the Protection Of
the Domestic Labor Of the Countrywide distribu
ton Of the proceeds from the sales Of the public
lands-a single term for the Presdency-a re-
form Of Executive usurpations-and generally
such an administration Of the affairs Of the Coun-
try, as shall impar to every branch OF the public
service the greatest practicable efficiency, con.
trolled by well regulated and wise economy.
ReSolUed, That the name of HENRY CLAY
needs no eulogy-the history OF the Country since
his first appearance in public life, is his history
its brightest pages of prosperity and success are
identified with the principles which he has upheld
as its darker and more disastrous pages are with
every material departure in eur public policy
from those principles.
Resolved, That in THEODORE FREL1NGHuYsEN
we present a man pledged alike by his Revolu.
tonary ancestry and his own public course to ev.
ry measure calculated to sustain tie honor and
the interest Of the country.

In conclusion, they may be stated in few
words TO be, that | consider the annexation OF

This Convention assembled the next day after
the Convention Of Nomination. 1t was such an
assemblage as has seldom, if ever taken place, on
similar occasion. The number OF freemen

NJ CLAYTON was President OF the Convention.
A letter was read from Mr. Clay accepting the
nomination-written in his most felicitous style.
Among the numerous gentlemen who addressed
the Convention, he who attracted attention over
and above all-was the Hon. DANIEL WEE
s1ER, who, with an eloquence peculiar 10 himself,
delighted and enchained the vast concourse. He
said that great as he acknowledged the duty he
was under to support Mr.. Clay, his disposition
was greater. He payed Mr.. Frelinghuysen a
beautiful tribute. The resolution declaring the
concurrence Of the Convention in the nomination
Of Clay and Frelinghuysen, was received in a
manner that beggars all description. The Ball

Mr.. RICHIE AND Mr.. VAN BuREN.-The
Washington Correspondent Of the New York
Herald, writes that letter has been received at
Washington from Thomas Richie, Esq, editor
Of the Richmond Enquirer, stating that MIR. Van
Buren, must be withdrawn. Mr.. Richie says
that such is the effect OF Mr. Van Buren's letter
against annexation, and the effect Of the unfa.
vorable result Of the late elections there, that
Mr.. Van Buren, cannot carry Virginia, and
some other candidate must be taken up. He asks.
"Who shall be named?" He advises great pru.
dence and caution-wishes Mr.. Van Buren's
friends treated with kindness-not alienated or
exaSperated.
Those whom have consulted-men OF great
sagacity and prudence-regard this as MOST IN.

The news from the Old Dominion is good,
great, and glorious Official returns have not
yet been received, but enoughis known TO render
it certain, beyond doubt, that the Wings have
carried the Legislature, and will have majority
on Joint ballot OF Four VorEs! Goggn is cer'
tanly elected-and is perhaps now in the seat he
was cheated out Of at the beginning Of the ses-
sion Of Congress. Judge Baily is mos! probably
elected from Wise's district. The Wing majori-
ty in the Legislature insures the election Of
Wing to the United States Senatel
This is victory indeed! One that will make
the "Coons grin" in every nook and corner Of
this vast country. And it was victory achieved
by no humbuggery, but upon Principles. A
Bank, the Tariff, Distribution-with CLAY as
their champion, was boldly proclaimed in every
county in the State: and 10! the voice Of the
People proclaims these are the measures they are
in favor of--and this The Man TO carry them

pected. But the precise results Of the battle are
not yet ascertained. We haze lost the House,
that is certain. We have majority Of ten in
the Senate whether the Wing gain in the Houss
can overslaugh our majority in the Senate is not
exactly known. There is some danger Of it,;
in which event we lose the joint vote, and the
Wings gain the United States Senate"
