A CRow's CoURT. DR.. Edmonston.
in his "View Of the Zetland islands,
thus describes these singular congrega-
tions: "The crows generally appearin
pairs, even during winter, except when
attracted to spot in search of food,
or when they assemble for the purpose
of holding what is called a cro,o's court.
This latter institution exhibits curl
Gus fact in their history. Numbers are
seen to assemble on a particular hill or
field from many different parts. On
some occasions the meeting does not
appear complete before the expiration
Of day or two. AS soon sail the de-
putes have arrived, a very general
noise and cruaking ensue, and, shortly
after. the whole fall upon one or two
individuals, whom they persecute and
beat until they kill them. When this
has been accomplished they quietly dis
perse."

One of the most prominent leaders of the
third party yesterday met the editor of the
Watchman, and manifesting any thing but
feelings of displeasure at the Tyler Treaty,
sarcastically called upon us to invoke the
Wings to unite. Aye, sir, UNITE that is
the word /; and we invoke not the Wings only,
hut the whole people of Vermont, to unite
AGAINST this measure. Our State Legislature
has time and again, declared utter hostility to
annexation-Whigs and Locos have hitherto
agreed in condemnation of it; and now. if it
is the insane policy of the third party leaders
to attempt to divide the people, when the peace
of the country, the preservation ofthe Union,
and Liberty itself, all call upon the people to
unite together-ifit is their policy, for the sake
Of making party capital, to weaken the North
at this critical juncture by dividing it-then
we warn them that the adherence of all pat
riotic men, and the ''deep damnation" which
must follow the guilt of unnecessarily abetting
slavery, win fall upon their beads. Unite. one

der the law OF 1882. Previous TO the
passage of that law the duty had been 8
cents, as can be easily demonstrated by
reference to the several laws of 1916, "a,
and '2s.
But 10 show the utter hypocrisy of this
party, LET us look at the new Locofoco
Tariff Law. The Vandal Tariff which
they have introduced into the House,
provides 10 be sure for the reduction of
half cent. They seem to think that
four fifths ofthe "Whig Tax" was Just
axd right. Their love for the poor man
is worth half a cent
Let it also be remembered that while
this duty, which they stated to be l35
per cent, the protective duties on all arti-
cles, made by American Mechanics are
reduced to 80 per cent, and this is again
to fall in ls45 TO 25 per cent!
Why not reduce the duty on sugar al
so Was there ever before such set of
hypocritical knaves?

SABBATH DREAMING Mr Clay arrived
at Mobile on the "25th of February, and
left Mobile for the North on the Sd of
March," The Almanac makes both these
dates to fail on the Sabbath So we have

hand"- leaving Louisville on the Sabbath.

Again: he left the latter city so that he
might arrive in Mobile ON the Sabbath
and he turned towards the North on the
Sabbath. Comment is unnecessary.

OFIf atrocious, unsparing SANDER will
defeat a candidate, then there can be no
help for Mr. Clay. Ofall the above char
ges against him, it is only true that ne,
being at Louisville awaiting since the
night before boat for New-Orleans, did
take passage in one which left on Sunday.
MANY will condemn this, yet we doubt
not he had thus better opportunity to
keen the Sabbath than he could do in a
strange city surrounded by friends, True,
the steamboat arrived in New-Oreans on
Sunday. but how could passenger help
that? 1t was said that the Military were
called out on the occasion-which, If true,
Mr. Clay could neither foresee nor prevent
but il is false. Dir Bulltt of the New
Orleans Bee affirms that only himself and
a single friend who happened to be on the
dock welcomed Mr. Clay and accompan-
led him TO his Hotel some Military were
out, indeed, as is quite common on Sun
day in New-Orleans, but they knew moth:
ing of Mr. Clay's arrival till he passed
them. That he left New. Orleans on Sat
urday and arrived in Mobile on Sunday
morning is most true, but he went quietly
to his hotel, without parade of any kind
1t is utterly false that he left Mobile on
Sunday the Sd inst.-he left on Tuesday
the 9Th, as we stated at the time. The
Mobile Daily Advertiser, in expressly con-
tradictiDg this last Islander, expresses as.
constituent, which proves il unacquainted
with The Plebian.

CAssIUs nj CLAY OF KENTUCKY.-This
gentleman, whose fearless defence of the
abolition of slavery in Kentucky, is attrac-
ting the sympathies of every heart that
pulsates to the rights of man, he is grad.
uate of Yale, and we believe a relation,
though distant one, of Henry Clay.
He came TO New Haven early in 1881,
when the writer knew him we'll, and all
though mere boy at the time, he has
vivid recollection of him. He had then
about arrived at the age of manhood, and
was one of the noblest, most dignified
looking young man we ever saw. He
was full six feet in stature, of form de.
noting great personal strength and activity,
and in his general appearance had the
air of a military man. His complexion
was dark and swarthy, and when excited
his black eye flashed with the keenness
of an Indians. The writer, at the time,
regarded him as very personifcation of
Southern gentleman,-high minded,
frank, generous and brave, but ofimpetu-
Gus and irascible temper.
In the fall of 1881 Mr. Clay entered the
JUNIOR class IN Yale College, and although
comparatively stranger to his class
mates, his fine talents soon won their ad-
mirotion, and in the succeeding February,
on the anniversary of Washington, he
was chosen TO deliver public address be.
fore them in the North Church.
During his collegiate course, he be-
came the subject Of revival, was bap-
tized and joined the First Baptist Church
of our city. On graduating he left for
his native State, and soon after requested
Il dismission from the church. About this
time, challenge TO fight duel with one
of the Wickliffie's, which was passed and
accepted. The cause Of the duel was
some affair of the heart IFS result, We do
not exactly know between him and the
Wicklilfic family, deadly fend has exis-
ted and several attempts have been made
to assassinate him. New Haven Courier

SUGAR.

The Locofocos short time since were
loud in their complaints of the duty on
Sugar-the ''tax" as they called it, on the
poor mans Injuries. Now they well
kenw at that time, that the Wing Tariff
law had reduced the duty on sugars gen.
orally full one half. They knew that
they lied when they asserted that the duty
of l2A cents per pound had raised the
price Of sugar, for that was the duty un-
