PROTECTION FOR IT'S OWN SAKE

We have had considerable trouble in making GER
tain persons understand, or admit that they under
stand, correctly what is by this fvorite phrase
Of ours. Within year or two, past we have had
it more than thrust in faces that Mr. Clay
not an advocate OF our doctrine. We make an cx-
tract below, however from recent letter of Mr. Clay
himself, where insure those persons that they
will find the very thng-proteclon for its ow sake
Clearly and handsomely expressed, with his usual
cancellation and generosity, under Mr. Clay's own
hand. We want no better statement of The doctrine
than tins, and beg TINT those whose memories are

Wythe county, Virgnia:

The Courtof Common Pleas of this coun.
ty closed its session on Monday the 18th
inst, being the7th day Of tic term; having
succeeded TO a considerable extent in dis.
posing Of old Gaaes,which have been on the
docket for years. The session Of the
Court were prouacted, and the labor of the
Judges, Clerk, and Attorneys, arduous be-
yond those of formertimes. We regret to
say that some seUeHor eight Of the regularly
returned Jurors were not in attendance
The order of the Court was, that the Prose-
cutting Attorney should make inquiry, and
If there was no valid apology offered for
their nOnattendance, proceed against them
according to law. We hope they wilIavail
themselves Of this notice. 1t is due to
someoi them to say that we were informed
that i'll health prevented their attendance.
Will the others advise us why they were
absent! We shall see.

, Having lately received, from mutual
friend of ours and Mr.. Mayors, a request
to transfer it to this paper, and being
obliged, as well by the consideration above
stated as by our unwillingness to renew
the subject in ouEcolumns,to decline COM
pliance with the request, we think it due
to Mr.. Naylor to state that, in our opinion,
the motive Of humanity--of desire to
prevent the shedding OF blood---so evident
IN the impulsiVe action on his part upon
the occasion referred to, is his sufficient
'vindication therefor in courto consci-
ence, as we trust it will be decided to be
IN court of law, should tever be brought
to that test.
Of all men, Mr.. Naylor sone Of the last,
we are persuaded, who,would be found
either in Resistance Of the iawiulauthori-
ties, Or courtenancing resistance to them
by others. THE tenor Of his Whole life has
been that Of good citizen, an able lawyer,

THE MEETING AT MINERVA

We neglected in our last to notice the
great Whig rally which was held at Mi
nerva, on the 10Th inst. Ourengagements
in Court prevented our attendance at an
early hour of the day. Gen. Stokely, and
Mr.. Griswold, had both spoken before we
got to the ground. Or. Dellenbaugh was
speaking in German when we arrived -
The gathering was large one. The citi-
gems OF Minerva informed us that i. was
larger than the meeting held at the same
place in 1870
