wHICs OF COLUMBUS IN MOTION.


Below will be found the proceedings of
meeting which convened ut the Theatre, on
Saturday night last, for the purpose of orgdni
zing a Clay Club. 1t was truly cheering to
witness the spirit and rational enthusiasm with
which, the Wings of Columbus, seemed imbu-
ed on that occasion.
All are resolved on action All proclaim the
cause in which they are engaged, good
and glorious cause. Many bold hearts and pow
errul arms are enlisted, to do battle for Henry
Clay, and the political principles which he rep
resents. Lowndes County has a host of speak
ers who have pledged themselves TO buckle on
the armor and 10 meet the sPoismen' in. the
form of regulators, disorganizcrs and Loco
focos. We have met with many Wings from
the country, since our meeting on Saturday
night last, and they all rejoice that the ball has
been put in motion, and are all anxious to be-
come members of Clay Clab. In many parts
of the country, where many Wings are to be
found, Clay Clubs, auxiliary & IL one formed
in Columbus, will be organized,Nh those Wigs
who are few in number in other parts of the
county, will become members Of the Club, in
Columbus. Nothing can resist the mighty tide
that is now swelling and moving from the. GEN.
tire of~the great bosnm of the body polite, and
now threatens with resistess surge to bear ev-
cry thing before it.

Mr.. Meier rim. Editor of the South West
orn Christian Ads0Oatc. we feel ea;to.s
under obligation to appropriate small space
to the benefit OF our much improved comba
tant. We have already by special request ad :
mitted short reply in this No. of our paper
from Vir Simplex, to some remarks of Mr. Nc
Ferrln or his last article on the Trinity. We
thought we had so effectually harnessed our
friend Nc, that modesty and more particular.
ly policy, would have induced him to have re
manned silent, in the future; yet we are truly
pleased that he has, in the last No. of his pa
po- given US another benefit. We think, that
n replying TO our correspondent in one No.
and then,t Us in the next,h will be kept quite
busy. The best thing, however, about the
whole matter is, that, he has by his very con-
ciliatory reply 10 our last Uenen1ous missile,
rendered US entirely jocular in our feelings,
and now, that we are writing,the thoughts has
crossed our minds, that if we were to meet our
rough. Indian customer, we could but smile
and as apt as any way, give him shake of the
hand. We like very much, his ingenuity, for
finding himself in the hands of men who han
died him without m tens, he..has very good hi.
moredly concluded that he has improved US vc :.
ry much, by his writing mission TO US. Ii we
have improved by him, we are happy to return
our thanks to him, for so acceptable a favor,
and fhis and our readers, as well as ourselves
who have read the articles, of both, will not
say, that we have accomplished a wonderful
reformation, in him, particularly in his feeling
and mode Of writing. we..will ret i'm him dou-
BILE thanks, for the benefit, we hare received
from him. We can but, congratulate ourselves
on tie success, we attainedln our first ESSAYS
to bring TO sober reflection, vigorous despotic
ecclesastic. who boasts SO largely, of living on
the bounties and charities of others. He saws
he shall be absent from home for some time
to come, and aska truce, until'he returns with
new supplies, and he then proposes to contin.
ne the war, if it be our pleasure. We did MT
commence this war, and we have no objection
10 granting him truce, Notwithstanding he
was the aggressor. and as for reviving, it If Re
considers it of sufficient Importance, we shall |
permit him to do this, as he is first to ask omar
ers' and promises to be yell supplied, on his
'eturn, from. we know not where. As for
ourselves, our material for opposing the pre-. |
"mptuous and vicious are inexhaustable. g. ri
Ie wishes 10 test our ability, in this resrect &a
hail. most cheerfully. if he win throw the f;rs,
tone on his return give him few more cast;
atoms for his Improvement in mora litv .nd
ourtesy. In conclusion we win say, that a.
olIt'cs are becoming very interesting, we do,
re, at least, to suspend our controversies -
ellgion for the present.

Cow MooRE.-The Bee of yesterday con-

this excellent officer
Com. Moore, of the Texas navy, arrived al
this city on Saturday last. He Is in fine
health. He will shortly return to Texas, to
attend the court martial that has been detailed
to examine into his conduct. Divers overtures
have been made to settle the difficulties be-
tween him and the Cove rnment by Comprom-
Use, but. the gallant sailor would listen to no
proposition of the sort, preferring to meet all
the charges against him before a competent
tribunal Pc.

Stripping for a Race.--The Vicks.
burg Wing gives the particulars OF an
amusing scene enacted in that vicinity
few days since. Mr.. Whitney, the
oratorical lecturer, walked out about a
'uile from town TO bathe at sDrino
branch;he stripped off bis clothes, laid
them carefully on the bank and went
into tt e water. In few moments he
discovered fellow taking charge Of
of his clothes and immediately iumn-
ed out in pursuit of him; here a long
chase of about half a mile ensued.
bot wisely the chap, finding his naked
pursuer gaining upon him, took to the
briars as safe refuge, and thus put an
end othe chase.
Mr.. w. wended his way towards
Town, having no clothing, save his
shoes. He approached house to tell
his cad story, when some ladies', see
ing his condition, opened upon him a
volley Of flre-brands. which soon nut
him to fight. Happily,he found pair
OF lnexpressibles. hanging upon fence.
of which h took forcible possession
and thus relieved from his sad predic-
ament, he told bis adventure and nro-.
cured seivaHt TO come 10 town for
bis clothes. The worst part Of the
story is the fact that the professor had
$500 in his pockets, with which the
daring thief got successfully off.

CONNECTICUT ELECTIONS.

This election has come off, at most propi-
titious time. now, that the modification of the
Tariff bill of 1912 is under discussion in Cons
gress, the Wing party advocating and the Locos
opposing it, Connecticut comes forward with
the thunder voice of the multitude to declare in
favor of TIE present tariff and the Wing cause
What damper this is TO the Free trade preten-
ders! Whilst Connecticut is pealing her loud
blast. upon the huge, Pennsylvania, by her
Legislature proclaims her determination 10 sus .
tain the present tariff.
Her House of Representatives, without dis
sentiag Voice. re quests her representatives in
Congress, 10 sustain the present Tariff, and her
Senate with solitary exception passes the res.
olutions OF irstAction, which were created by
the House So Connection: and Pennsylvania
by declaring themselves. the friends of the pre-
sent Tariff, have fully and positively repudiated
Van Buren,, for, it will be reeoiected, that Mr.
Van Buren,. has recorded his opposition TO the
present tariff, in principle and in detail. This
is conclusive. The Loco Focos may cease to
hope to be able, to carry either of these States,
and Mr. Clay's triumph is sec ured beyond tn
possibility of doubt
