II will be rcmembered that a letter was
some time since published by the Rev. IL.
b. Bascom, in relation 10 the moral charac-
ter of MIR. Clay. Upon this, Mir. b. was
denounced in the most violent manenr, and
called every thing bu, a gentleman. The
following article, from n late number of the
Lexington (Ky)Reporter. contains a prop
er rebuke of the slanderers:

COPPER MINING-A New DISCOVERY
A new discovery Of Copper Mineral has
been made on Kickapoo, about IL miles
above Prairie du CHEN, and miles from
the Mississippi river which is likely TO
prove valuable. Messrs. Sterling and
Messersmih, the owners Of the discovery.
have sent us specimen Of the mineral
raised, weighing about 100 lbs, which the
public are invited to call at our office. We
are informed that abont 1000 lbs, are taken
out daily-that the lode is proved some dis
lance ahead, and that the mineral increases
in quantity as they advance. The ore is
said to be per cen, richer than that found
near Mineral Point, which averages, we
believe, about Is per cent.-Galena ADJ.

THAT COALITION


From several degrees below zero, the spi-
rlis of our Wing friends have been elevated
lately to several degrees above the fleeing
point. This cxhllcration has been produced
by the junction of the natives and wings in
Philadelphia; the whigges here concluding
from what they know of whiggery, that a S.
mliar junction would be formed in N. York.
That such a union has been attempted. no
one who knows whiggery need be told; whc :.
ther 1t will be successful remains to be seen.
The following resolutions adopted at a NEE
ting of the Natives, on the 81 ST, will throw
some light on the subject:
Resolved, That the American R epublican
Party have never since its organization, en-
terlained for one moment the idea Of CO.
alition with either the Wing or Democratic
parties.
Resolved, That we will eoalesce with no
party, but, maintaining our original posi-
ton, will contend for the election of ouv
own candidates.
The Evening Post of the 25:h, has the
following:
We have heard Of one whig candidate
Tor Congress SO dissatisfied with the treat
ment he receives, that he has declared the
determination of his personal friends 10
withhold their votes on the day Of election,
until the course taken by the wing party
genearlly can be ascerlained. and then, i'm
case the contemplated treachery should be
practised, TO vote for the democratic candi-
dates.
We believe coalft'on 10 any extent can
not be formed; or if formed, for apparent
reasons must do the wings more harm than
good.
