THE YOUNG WHIGS.

The Richmond Whig says, there are not less than 2000 Wings in Western Virginia, who will vote for the first time in 1s44.' Enough to save the State! It is not too much to say, that the young men of this Union will be the means of the election of Henry Clay to the Presidency Go where you may-in city. in town, in countryside Young .Men are all Wings Fresh, unhackned by the arts of demagogues-5rought up to know their rights, and the right pursue, unawed by any power whatever-they could not be any thing but Wings Their importance cannot be estimated in
 the coming contest can they be too early in the field. We have but word to say to them; they have duty to perform, and the country expects them 10 do it. Let them organize every where, in such fashion as they may choose, but organize with determination to elect HENRY CLAY-once the poor and riendess boy, but the peerless states mana proud example for them to initiate - AND HIS ELECTION IS sAFE.-St Louis vNesc Era
 There can be no doubt that an immense maiori- ty of the young men of the country are Whigs, and in the coming contest they will form the advance guard of the great Whig Army of the Union. It is natural that they should be Wings; just coming on to the stage of ife in the flush and vigor of youth they are yet too young too pure, to become tainted with the leprosy of locofocosm, and have too little seshness to give into the agrarian doctrines of the party. Looking only to the honor and glory of their native land, they have no hopes, no aspira- tions apart from her hest interests They have not yet learned to coin their words to suit the sordld anu mercenary purposes Of designing demagogues, and with the generous enthusiasm of impetuous youth, they speak out in thunder tones the ardent feelings which glow in their patriotic hearts.
 The great and gallant leader of the Whig party, too, IS one to command the admiration and enthus- astic regard of every young man in America. Who among them all IS not familiar with the name and fame of HENRY CLAY? Who among them has not had his heart reused from its nmost depths by the burning eloquence of their country's noblest son? Who can listen 10 the recital of his long and brilliant career without feeling his pulse ouickeo. and his blood rush in bounding torrents through hia frame' Bold. daring, generous, self-sacrifcing himself, Henry Clay is the man, of all others most calculated to attach friends strongly to him. There is something noble. so lofty, so unseLfak in the character of Henry Clay--so much for young and ardent mind ;to admire, that the young men of our country are Whigs in spite of themselves.
 That they will do good service in the approach ing contest we cannot permit ourselves to doubt {; and it will be glorious sight to see the thousands and tens of thousands of gallant hearts and stalwart arms arrayed for the first time for fight. The old veterans who have borne the brunt of many fierce encounter. will be nobly supported on the trial, by the fiery spirits of their younger and more active allies.-SaLeB Gag.

TO PRACTISING PHYSICIANS.

Let ns impress upon conscientious physicians the importance of trial of the Brandreths Pills Let | them maj only fair trial of them, and they will concede the medicine is the best evacuant of the bowels hitherto discovered The ingredients are all prepared expressly for the manufacture of the Bran. dreth's Pills, and it is impossible to obtain A pnrga. tive of he properties except from Dr, B. Bran. dreth. Let physicians and the world at large bear in mind. that the Brandreth Pills may be taken, if necessary, for any length of time daily, not only without injury, but with certainty of beneficial results.
 This universal medicine mildly but surely cleat,ses the whole extent of the alimeniary canal. It then glves increased power to the circulation of the blood by winch It deposi!es any impurities it may contain in the bowels (which organ expes them from the body
 lhIs action may continue fot days. weeks or demand, or until the entire body has been ev vacuated and re.made by the food consumed
 Howmportant It IS that persons of feeble frame, of impure constitutions. should, without delay, com mence with this pure and wholesome medicine. No time ought to be lost by using Lozenges or Candies as medicines. which are better adapted for the des strncton of the teeth. than for the of any dis ease. Experience has sufficiently tested that these remedies contain. invariably, calomeI and other nc. tive chemical agents, that have very destructive effect. of which there are too many individually con- vinced to their cost. -
 The testimony m favor ofthe Brandrefh Pills. and the number who are daily raised from bed of misc " bv heIr use. render 1t imperative that all who are suffering f, from sickness should give them trial That Brandreth's Pills have stood seven years test in the United States That they are vegetable and innocent medicine. yet all powerful tor the removal of diseases, whether chronic or recent. infectious or otherwise ~1..+ That they purify the blood, and stay the further progress ol disease in the human body. That. m many eases, where the dreadful ravapes of Liberation had laid bare igament and bone. and where. to all appearance, no human means could save lie. have patients, by the ofthese pills been restored to good health inc devourng disease hay. ing been completely erndcated.

Now for the purpose of testing their sincerity, propose to the betting portion of MT. Folks friends the following bets, to wit:
 That Henry Clay will receive the electoral vo te of Louisiana.
 That he will receive the electoral vote of Tennes- see.
 That he will receive the electoral vote of New York. The three foregoing bets to be taken togeth- CT.

 That Henry Clay will be elected and I will give premium, in cash, of
 S25O to any one who will make me the last bet. will also give premium, in cash, of
 $500 to any one who will take all the foregoing bets. Any one wishing to take any one or all of the bets here proposed, can have an interview with me for the purpose of drawing the necessary writings and depositng the funds by application to the Ed itors of the Intelligencer. WHIG. An esteemed friend having, flor the reasons which he has stated. thought fit to make the above offers through our columns we deem it proper to say, while we dissent from the practice introduced by our adversaries of betting elections that the gen. tleman who makes these offers is we'll known to us, that he is of undoubted responsibility and that~he is both able and willing to redeem his pledges.

"A LIBEL" ON LocoFocoTsM.

The Massachusetts Legislature in 1s43-44 |, passed Resolutions unanimously, denouncing in the strongestterm the annexation of Texas. The locofoco members as well as the Whig members under the solemnity of oath, declared it measure which "n neither reason nor religion could SGnc- fiOn,' and [" fraught with danger TO the dearest liberties of the Republic" AWhig paper in Ohio, not uOaUing the very feri6le character of eastern Locofocoism, supposed of course, that they could not support James K. Polk, nominated as he was expressly on the ground of his favoring the imme- diate and unconditional annexation of Texas, and said so Upon this the Boston Post is nightly fl- rious. The locos who thus voted and whose names are gven the Post says are supporters of Polk, and being true locoocos, do not hesitate to give the lie to their former declarations the Texas question: The Post calls it foul li6eT' on the men, and the Post is rigkt, for what has "reGsOn, and "re- hgson," or the " liberties" of our Republic to do with Locofocoism!
 VRG1N1A.-The Richmond Whg says that GH $ going SOeN in VTgini0! The prospects are brightening daily. A letter dated Clarksburg, states MT. Van Buren's majority in Harrison county in 1S40 at 523-and that this fall Mir. Folks ma jority will not exceed 3OO And that in the Har- rison district, where General Harrison received majority of about 200, Mr. Clay will receive from 800 to 1000. This result says the writer, will not be brought about so much by changes, as by the Van Buren men, o cannot go |" Polk, Texas, and Disunion," staying away from the polls
 THE GLoBE's OPINION OF MR. PoLK.-In 1899, the Globe thus spoke of Gov. Polk :-" MT. Polk is wholly and totally an unfit man for Vice President of the United States He possesses no single quail fcation which should entitle him to the considera- ton of the party for that high office."
 We should like to know what claims Mir. Polk now has for the first office in the gift of the people, which he had not for the second office in 1s39?- We know of none unless his successive defeats since that time, when before the freemer of Ten nessee for the office of Governor, entitle him to some.
