 MIR CHATS STANDING AT HOME.
 The Lincoln Telegraph publishes the following extracts from letter recently written by the Rev Dr. Nash, a distinguished divine of the Episcopal Church, who has resided for ten years near Mir. Clay, and who fully corroborates Dr. Bascom's statements in reference to MT. Clay's character.- The paragraphs quoted, show conclusively how the great statesman is regarded by the moral and reli- gious men of his own neighborhood and State, who know him best. The letter is dated,
 ST. ALBANs, 24th Aug. 1s44. As criterion of the estimation in which he is held at home, 1t will not be out of place to state here-which do unhesitatingly, having had ample opportunities for ascertaining the truth-that Mir. Clay has the confidence ard political support of a very large proportion of the moral worth, and, l may add, of very large majority of the members of the different religious denominations in Ken lucky. There are twelve or fifteen clergymen, of different denominations, residing in Lexington.- All of these, believe. with one exception. are the friends of Mr. Clays and most of them are frequent visitors at his house. There are about twenty Episcopal clergymen residing in Kentucky; all of these are the friends of Mir. Clay. Of the one hun dred and five or ten clergymen-l do not recollect the exact number-composiny the last conference of the Methodist church in Kentucky, all but three as was informed by member of the conference, are the political friends oi Mir. Clay. 1 am not so accurately informed respecting the political opin- ions of the ministers of other denominations, as am respecting the opinions of the ministers of the Episcopal Church, and of the Methodist Church. I am confident, however, that there Is nearly, if not quite, large majority of these friendly to the election of Mir. Clay, as of those last mentioned Out of the four five hundred clergymen, of differ ent denominations, in Kentucky, there not, am almost certain, fifty political opposers of Mir Clay"
 "The opinion of great majority of the religious people--ministers and others-living in the neigh b0rhood of, and intimately connected with, Mir. Clay, am confident Is, that if he is elected to the Presidency there will be, while he continues Pre- sident, far .alth;er moral influence around the Presidential chair, than there has been since the close of J. .. Adams administration
 .another RemOval.-In pursuance of the |" public interest" President Tyler is marching triumphanty in the progress of reform. In addition to the re- moval of our present Postmaster, we learn to-day that Royal Ralph tlinman, Esq. of Hartford, has been appointed Collector of the port of New Haven in the place of James Donaghe, Esq. removed,- The reasons for this removal we presume are 10 be found only in the rotGttoe principle, iavorite one of "the Democracy" whose practical effect is 10 rotate acertain class of indvduals-those who talk about aristOeyGcies and "ruf1ed shirt gentry'- f:om one fat office into another MT. Donaghe is most unexceptionable man, both in his political and moral character, performed the duties of his flee well, and enjoyed the entire confidence of community. He is likewise Virgnan by birth, and was friend and neighbor of MT. Tyler him. self; yet all this could not him from the vim dctve spirit of these 'consciencekeepers' of the a:ting President, towards whom he did not exhibit the subservence required to carry out their views MT. Hinmans political character is of more con- workable cast, having been first of the old federal :hool, then tolerationst, then a Jackson man, then Whig, then Locofoco, and now tptop Tylcrite, "dyed in the wool" Surely such mer- its ought to be rewarded, and we know of more fit to minister to such purpose than John Tyler. Let them, however, all remember "the ides of Mareh."-N. H. Herald
 The Popular ISde.-Last year the Locofocos had majority in the Legislature of Louisiana-this year the Wings have majority of eight in the Le- Eislature of that State. Last year the Locofocos elected Governor in Indiana and had majority in the Legislature-this year the Whigs have ma iority of ten in the Legislature of Indiana. In 1s42 and 1s43 the Locofocos triumphed in Mary land-this year the Wings carried every Congress sional district in Maryland. Last year the Loco. focos had majority in the Legislature of Virginia .--this year the Whigs triumphed in Virginia - Last year the Locofocos had a majority of twenty six in the Legislature of North Carolina-this year the Wings have majority of thirty-two in the Le glSIature Ot North Carolina. Last year. 11 Sh0Tt the Locofocos were nearly every where triumphant this year the Wings have won back all they lost last yeaS. The popular tide is already turned etrongly toward the Whig side, and by November eit will flow on in majesty like the Gulf stream LeaasSilie j0STpGI
 TRe PetGtO CT0p.-We regret to learn that this vegetable, which a few weeks ago gave prom ise of an abundant crop, has on almost every farm in this vicinity been damaged. and in many instan- ceswholly destroyed, by disease hitherto unknown among our farmers. The stock bear the same ar- pearance as when struck by rust and the vegetable immediately decays. When first discovered, ma- ny of OUT farmers went to digging, but soon found that decomposition did not stop when taken from fha earth and in all cases where the damaged crop has been put into the cellar. so offensive has been she smeN arising from them that they had forth with to be removed. and buried up in the ground It has been suggested that farmers had not better dig the crop at present. but let them remain m the earth until the damaged portion should become % far decayed as to be disfinguishable. Time and unnecessary labor may thus be saved. We are told that the crop throughout the State has been similar ly affected, as also in Vermont Massachusetts. and other New England States CiaTenont (JN: H. Eagle.
