Ma. EpiToR:
The meeting Of the Clay Club Of on, d..
old Wing county on Monday last, wn, s sga
astic. After the constitution Of Tho cur
read and others appointed, our townsm,n
smiley, Esq, arose, and for upwards of,Str'
enchained the audience with his sopl s,i,"W
oquence, in such u manner as ELECTED Ls'
applause he is truly a terror to HI, S So'a
an honor to his friends" and while we bayss.
all the low, false means which the locos NAV.
sort to, cannot njure us; when thew rot ~,
| lie, he nails ii to the counter. IT, ev n, P.
could have but painted the features Of ,6e N.ma
Gratis after the meeting, what ghaslly Nj
countenances might have been produeel d
discussed fully the Texas and Tariff oues,,,
In the former he showed plainly that immed,,
annexation would ruin our glorious Unon-@,
it was merely political humbug, raised hv%
arch traitor Tyler, and taken hold Of byb,
party who now call themselves Democra,:-,s
whose battle cry is " Texas if we can, or Tenn
and Disunion, if we must" In the latter h
made the poor locos vince in every sontepy en-
uttered. Heproved that Polk, their free nb
more than one term, State Bank advocate PGl
had avowed himself in favor of tariff mhw
of one term, and against Bank. Butts diva
two ago, and the advocate of a Tariff was ul
rattlesnake to loco now they can savourhn
They say they always advocated tariff hrn
venue with incidental protection Just i'm
CINE the malicious lalsehoods they resort to, al
say what a party they must be. They watt
hear whA ukase comes from the protege Il be
Hcrmitad and then thunder its applause Va
the serfs of Russia are held in greater subas
sion by their autocrat, than are the DemoCnl
by the "Old Man of Tennessee. Then cam
the contrast between Clay and Polk. Clay
orator, the statesman, the unwavering ade
cate of Whggism, whose name is assoclA
with that of liberty in every portion Of the CIV
ilized globe, and whom the Wings recoganu
their leader, second to none. Henry Clay gla
they want-no other name is required tusl
vigor into their breasts. With him thQu
willing to stand or fall. But Polk, the tva
beaten candidate for Governor of Ienne0:
whose very strength lies in his insignihGra
only partially known even through the Uhm
until polkcd on the democrats as their candida
for President, to be the competitor of Hem
Clay is an absurdity in the extreme--it is an
suit on the ma orty of the people of this UHV
But they may invoke the aid of all the siIn
in the calendar--they may call him You
Hickory" " Young Kendall" " Young Da
can" or any name they please, still their nam
will avail them nothing. The people Ia
arisen, and in their giant strength, will ca
such minions as j. X. Polk into eternal ob''
rity.
Wings of Amite! do your duty You Ia
won for yourselves glorious name-then at 4
polls give your two hundred majority for Har
of the West. Let the state of Mississippi
that none of the traitor blood of the renegad
of Wilkinson flows through your yeins-h
you spurn, despise, detest traitors, be th'
whom they may, and forever PROSTATE locoioc
ism in your county. You have faithful "atc
man TO guard your interests, who is awaysP Pm
pared, and should any locofoco electioncerer
lutte your county with his footsteps for poItc'
purposes, you can rest satisfied he will be al
swered. We say, then. to our opponents, sen
to "Old Amite'- one Of your Electors, yes you
" Jupiter Tonans," and if he does NOs tsaV'
Liberty perfectly satisfied never to return agal
on such an expedition, we will give it up. "Co'
