Connecticut, observes the Hartford Courant,
can boast of four ex-Governors, who are the
firm friends of Henry Clay and the Wing cause,
viz:-Gideon Tomlinson, Of Fairfield, John S.
Peters, of Hebron, Samuel A. Foote, of Cheshire,
and William w. Ellsworth, of Hartlord-men
whose administrations were remarkably popular,
and who now possess to large extent the con-
fdence Of the people. Is there State In the
Union that can make the same boast!

ELEGANT EXTRACTS FROM "BRIAR1Us."

When Jonn first tried his prentice hand
In learning Faustus' magic art,
His portion at the printers stand
Was dubbed Of old the " DEVILS" part:
So, John, now 'prentced an NJ c.,
In legislative paths to revel,
Is proud Of his consistency,
And labors still to play The Depa!
We continue our gatherings from the mine we
informed our readers the other day we had dis
covered, "away out in the Illinois diggins.'
"WAsH1NGToN, Jan. 6, 1874
This day, DR.. Duncan, of Ohio, entertained
us with speech on abolition matters, and ac-
cused northern Wings of reading letters and
calling them from Clay, leaving them to think
they were from Henry Clay, when they were
from Cassius nj. Clay. Henry Clay has abused
the Abolitonists more than any other man in
this country, which goes for the South; whilst
Cassius M. Clay, nephew of his, and whom
he defended for cutting up young Brown at the
last election in Kentucky so that his life was
to the cause of abolition, and all this goes for
Henry CLAW in the North. DIR. Duncan was re-
markably cutting in his remarks on the course
of the Wings in their double-dealing on the
subject Of slavery"
AS comment upon this, we take the follow
ing editorial paragraph from the same "mine":
The great Wing party have been, and now
are, making tremendous efforts to coax the Abo-
litonists en- masse to give their vote for the great
stakeholder, Henry Clay but it seems that the
Abolitionists of Illinois, at least, are not green
enough to be humbugged or driven into any such
unholy alliance
"The House took up the bill to refund Gen.
Jackson's fine, Dr. Davis, of Indiana, in the
chair, and mighty good man he is, too-one OF
the ablest men and soundest Democrats In the
House."
"John B. Weller, of Ohio, led off, and he
came down upon the Wings with perfect cat
aract rush. He referred to the $4,000 given
widow Harrison, and also to the Senate bill got
up for the benefit of traitor Hull.
He was followed by Mr.. Dickinson, of Ten
nessee, on the other side"
"Then came !" the little giant" Mr.. Douglass,
from Illinois, and he surpassed himself Illinois
stock advanced greatly on the floor that day.
Every body passed the highest encomiums on It,
| was greatly surprised myself at his success
and complete triumph, so far as argument is
concerned, over all who heretofore had spoken
upon the subject"
What is unusual, the House did not adjourn
over the Sth."
"The House concluded to celebrate the day
by working for the people, who work for them
selves and also to support us here; and, II pos
sible, by passing the bill under discussion"
/" Schenck, of Ohio, fred away with real Fed
eral spirit and abused General Jackson like those
who distributed coffin handbills or passed the
resolutions which the Senate had TO expunge.
Oh how these Wings would like to kill this bill
now and then elect Clay President so that, if it
should pass any future Congress, he could veto
the bill Messrs. Brown, Of Tennessee, Belser,
Of Alabama, Steenrod, of Virginia, Democrats,

Mr.. CLAY returned to New Orleans on the
9th instant from Natchez, in excellent health
and spirits.
The amount of property bequeath to the Hon.
Henry Clay by the late Senator Porter, Of Louisi-
ana, is stated in the Lexington (Ky.) Enquirer
at 5000 or 100000.

The CAMPAIGN OPENED IN ILLTNoIs.-Joseph
Gillespie, Esq, the Wing Electoral Candidate in
the Alton District, gives notice through the Alton
Telegraph, that he will commence his labors by
delivering an address at the Montgomery county
circuit court on the second Monday in February,
and he will go through the whole circuit, county
by county and would be pleased to have the Van
Buren, Electoral Candidate go with him, and dis
cuss the nneations before the people.

Virginia..

A correspondent of the National Intelligencer,
writing from Wilton, near Richmond, Virginia,
thus speaks of the diminution Of the population Of
that State:
"Thls much have | written with an eye to
tempt to Virginia northern farmers. have
great desire to capture this good old common
wealth for the Yankee stock of States. Land Is
cheap; say land, of which good farm may soon
be made at from three to five dollars all acre"-not
the land the banks of the river, cleared and cu-
tivated, but land where mari es-marl worth
more to the land than Il gold mine. Society IS
good-he people are a good people. Schools will
come with population. 1t often seems to me that
as yet there are no people here, and wish there
fore to see them come have to to take up spy
glass to see the houses Of my neighbors, they are
so far off; and yet, so near am to capital OF a.
bout twenty four thousand inhabitants, that | can
see its spires and steepes, and almost hear the
hum Of its lab0rcrs. Back of me, and below me,
off of the river, far as have explored, cannot
find much else but woods, woods, woods | ride
for miles and miles in the forests, looking for peo-
pie And vet this is the first settled and oldest
par! of Virginia! The people have gone of; they
have settled in Georgia, Alabama, Kentucky, Mis-

held out to the rest to 90 to Texas Well, if they
will 90, all can say, is northern farmers, come
here and settle. Such land as you can sell iii New
York and Pennsylvania for fifty and seventy five
and hundred dollars an acre, you can buy here
for from three to ten. 1t is shame J say that
this beautiful country so best in climate, and
needing little, only the fertiIizing hand of man,
should be without people. Here is an old, yene-
rabIe river running past my door, older than the
Hudson,now lined with towns and villages much
older than the Ohio, Colder in settlement and ge-
ography mean,) but where are the peopIe For
a hundred and fifty miles from Richmond to Nor
folk, the first explored river running into the At

now among them to go to Texas! Virginia has
here depopuated herself to make houses else
where. The cry of one set Of politicians is, man
uiacures that would keep the people here are
nothing; Texas is everything. Were | Virgini-
an, should esteem as worth more on James River
one good white man than all of Texas from the
Sabine to the Rio Del Norte. Why, here is Tex
