 Mn. ADAMs,-The Wocdbury Clay Club met last evening pursuant to notice for the purpose of discussing the Tariff question. Notwithstanding a stormy evening, the meeting was fully attended, composed chiefly of young men who manifested much ardor, and no little indignation at the repeat ed attempts to their organization with deris- ion, by the new Tangled democracy of our town It was not that kind of indignation which comes from sense of abuse and ridicule, but higher, nobler and more fearless spirita spirit conscious of its intuitve righteousness and its consequent power to triumph. Spite of assaults at the hand of their enemy they dare speak and act Their speeches in favor of the principles of protection in the present Tariff, showed their political ntelli- gence from higher and purer source than the Columbian Register or Hartford Times. We are clearly in the field with combatants, there are no mountain passes, or over grown swamps where by we can retire if we would. Thank God the field is wide, fiat and dry that nothing can pre- vent fair fight. The Old Babel of our foes IS watching our manGuvres, and from it's chimney a dark, very dark smoke proceeds. Affer the ad- journment of the Club meeting of the Wings was organized to appoint delegates to attend the Young Mems Convention at Hartford. It was resolved that we proceed to the nomination of as many Whig Young Men as the town could furnish, and their names were severally called and enrolled as dcle- gates. They all say they shall go and bring home MGf banner SO that for two or three days during the week of the Convention we shall submit Wood- bury to the hands of Locofocoism-in what condi- tion we shall find it on our return we cannot say probably the stubble will all be burnt.

 less they could succeed in removing the highmin- ded and honorable men from their stations, who
 carried out the principles of the Society to the ve-
 ry letter, (they by their own professions having ex
 cluded themselves from receiving any,) they were
 satisfied that such principles as the Society were governed by would not answer Gteir purpose; it became necessary that the present officers should .be removed, and by consent they effected the same, aeaving none ofthe former officers who were instru
 mental in the formation or establishment of the
 Society and who had argued and carried out the principle of actual improvement. The officers for the year 1S42 being regularly installed in office, the Executive Committee proceeded to offer pre-
 lniums for the exhibitions for the annual fair, and
 instead of gradual increase in amount, as had
 been offered, very limited scale was established,
 the consequence was, as every intelligent farmer
 would know, the interest in the Society decreased for there is too much sagacity with practical farm
 ers not to count the cost before encOuntering the
 expense of taking their cattle and products to the flair unless you clearly define your position and of- fer an honorable competition Premiums on the most important male animals were reduced, and fine two year old heifers were wholly excluded syhch were not in milk best stud horses were re- duced-the gentlemen claiming more defect in the breed of horses than any other stock. Alterations Aad been made with reference to farms, which sxoud exclude 99 out of 100, it required GH the improvements to be by the present occupant which is so wholly at variance with the dictates of reason and common sense as will prevent any person from entering as perhaps there is not wholly nesc farm within the limits of the county. Possibly the al- ferations were intended to be personal. The Com mittee consisted of enc farmer who no doubt would Save done his duty had it been in his power, one military man who is a merchant, one singing mas ter, and one tsiloF, accompanied with bachelor, whose theory is that the large farmers who have
 made the greatast Improvements must be excluded. The day previOus to the fair the Committee were waited upon to knew whether they should in their awards follow syicsiy to the IettT the directions given in the handbills. They answeze6they should.
