From the Matches Courier.
CASSlUS VI. CLAY-GREAT EXCITE
MENT IN LEXINGTON,

1t is known that for about two month
! Cassius NJ. Clay has been publishing il
Lexington, Ky, an Abolition paper, Gale,
1.-The "Irue Hmericda" About the 12th o
August, an article appeared under the
Editorial head of that paper, which high.
| ly incensed the people Of Lexington and
Fayette county. Mr., G. NJ Clay was
quite indisposed, bad been confined TO his
bed for month, and had not written the
article. This was made known, but the
people determined upon holding public
meeting. On the l4th, small meeting
was held at the Court House On the
following day C. NJ. Clay published a
hand-bil from which it appears that this
meeting appointed a committee Of three
persons TO wait upon him, and request a
discontinuance of the publication of the
"True american" Many Of the persons
who composed The meeting, he says were
violent personal enemies OF his, as we're
two of the committee appointed 10 wait
upon him. To their application he re-
turned scorn(ul and deGying answer.
Hereupon excitement rose to very high
pitch. Many thought the office oC the
''True American would be torn down. -
Clay, in anticipation Of such an event,
made his will armed himself, and sent to
his office (being too sick to sit--up any
length Of tme) bed to be occupied by
him during the day. At 3 O'Clock Of the
10th meeting Of the citizens was held
which resolved upon holding a mass
meeting OF the people of Fayette county
on the 18th for the adoption Of such mea-
sures as might be deemed expedieut
Here Mr.. Clay put out second hand.biII
much more moderate in its tone than his
first On Sunday he issued a third, sta
ting his sickness and that his represen
tation had been misconstrued On Sun
DAY night, the people became alarmed at
symptoms of nsubordination among the
blacks. They, from singing reirains be-
praising c. NJ. Clay, had become insoent
in some cases. On Monday morning, the
day appointed Tor the mass meeting, Mr. |
Clay issued another hand bill of very
concilialory character, promising in fu
ture to "restrict the latitude of discus
sion" in his paper, and stating that he
had ordered his publisher to exclude all
matter upon slavery until he should re-
cover from his illness. The appointed
meeting was, however, held, amid great
excitement. A long, eloquent and vehe
ment address was read BY T. r. Marshall,
and series OF resolutions were passed
the substance Of which was that the peo-
pie Of Faye!te would not permit an Abo-
lition paper to be published among them;
that commite Of sixteen should proceed {
10 the True American office, box up the
printing material and seud tito Cincninati I
subject TO G. NJ. Clay's order; that IN
Ease Of resistance they should use force.
The committee was appointed from both i
polltical parties, and proceeded amidst the p
entire populace to the office, the keys Ola
which we're sent to them by Mr.. Clay, !
who preferred a pledge that the paper c
should be Immediately discontinued if his r
property were not molested. The reply Il
vas that the proffer had come TOO late.
