The last Glasgow Pilot contains letter
from a correspondent at Liberty, Clay
county, from which we make the following
extract, for the benefit Of our readers in
general, and the clique in particular:
"From The mouth Of Grand river to the ex.
IRENE Northwest there is but one opinion on the
District system and the Convention Bill. We
are for both. The extremties have too long SUI
feled under the continued domination Of the cen.
tire. They will be heard and they viii be needed
too. The District system must be established by
laW, and in order to its establishment we are re.
solved to support no man for Governor who is
not unequivocaly pledged TO it. 1t is not ques
ton about which we are Indifferent. 1t is no
minor matter with US; and as far as an extended
correspondence enables US TO Judge, nine tenths OF
the whole party are with us. II The Convention
Bill has any opponents at all, we have never
seen them nor have we any reason to believe
there are any among the people. A few Pol.
iticians may imagine that no convention
ought TO be called-tbey may suspect that
its action will be detrimental to their prospects
and they may suppose that the people will suffer
themselves TO be led as suits their views; but
| can assure you that so far as the North west
is concerned, these calculations will prove vain
and futile. Although shall abide the action Of
the State convention, and although think that
others ought yet candor compels me to say, thai
if that body should determine to support candi.
date whose views are adverse to these two grea
measures; or who is wholly Indifferent abou
them; am very sure their action will not be
sanctioned by the People. Can it be expected
that the great body Of the party shall surrender
settled and cherished opinions TO eccommodat,
few Politicians? Would it not be far bete
for The politicians to yield to the people? Surely
nothing can he clearer than that the majority
should direct its action and that an immense
majority are fsvorabls to those measures, pre-
sumo will scarcely be con,radicted."

Mn. CALHouS.-A Washington cores
pondent of the Philadelphia Mercury says
"that Mr.. Calhoun has written long and
powerful letter, discussing the whole ques.
ton, denouncihg and renouncing the Poll
ticlans' Packed Caucus which is to as
semble at Baltimore in May next. 1t will
be shortly published. A National ConVen-
ton will be called, at which the people
will be represented, and third candidate
nominated. The Convention can choose
from among Calhoun, Stewart, Cass or
johnson. Its nominee will stand better
chance of election than Mr.. Van Buren,.
1t will at least accomplish one thing, which
is now found to be indispensable to the wei
fare of the country, and the triumph OF
republican principles, to.wt; the re-organ.
ization of the Democratic party in ls45."

THE MAILS.

The Eastern newspaper Mail failed on
Thursday and Saturday of last week. The
letter mail was received. We should like
to know what reason can be given for the
failure of these mals1 The roads were
very good compared to what they usually
are al this season of the year, and we can
see nothing that could have caused the
failure of the Two naile, above mentioned
but carelessness. The Department should
look 10 it.

HOWARD COUNTY.

A meeting of the wings Of Howard is called to
form Clay Club on the 9th Of March next
The Fayeue Times is rallying the wings Of that
important county 10 action. We look for revo.
luton in the politics Of Old Howard this year,
and we have presentiment that the vote Of that
county will yet be given for Mr.. Clay. We
eanno, think that a county so rich and fertile,
having so heavy an interest at stake, ard possess
ed Of so many excellent citizens, will continue tc
sustain the destructive policy OF the Van Buren,
Loco Focos. Old Howard is yet destined TO be.
come a Wing county. The Clique have over
done themselves. The dictatori4l course Of Low
~, Jackson, &c., cannot be submitted 10 forever
by the fleemen OF Howard. If the Wings o
Howard will stretch themselves, they must sue
coed in carrying the county.
DTThe above article is taken from 6
late number of the 81. Louis New Era
We submit it 10 the candid consideration
of the Wings Of the county. with the re-
mark, that it is expected of them, by theiI
friends in other sections Of the State, tha
they do their duty-THEIR WHOLE DUTY.
