A letter was read from G. NJ. Clay in which he
says:

Next follows an eloquent and powerful Address
bv Thomas F. Marshall reviewing the course of
C. NJ. Clay, and ienouncing The "Truc Amcli-
can" as IAN Abolition paper Of the worst stamp
as such, the peace and safety Of this community

Thai If the Office Of the aTrue American" be
peaceably surrendered, no injury should be done

Tha, if resistance were offered, they would force
the Office al all hazards, and destroy the nuisance.
That if an attempt be made 10 revive The paper

A Committee fSix,y was then appointed, who
proceeded al once 10 the Office Of that paper Tie
key OF which, on arriving at the door, was given

and gave notice that the Committee was acting in
! onrosilion to law, but that the city authorities
could offer no forcibc resistance 10 them. The
Committee, on answering severally 10 their
names, were then admitted into the Office, and the
doors were closed after them.
The press, types, &c, were then carefully
boxed up, and shipped by railroad 10 Cincinnati,
subject 10 the order Of C. NJ. Clay, whereof he
was duly nolfcd-thc charges and expenses hav-
ing been paid. The Observer ilus notices The
result
"Our readers will see, By the published pro-
ceedings, that an event has taken place, which
many ioreSaw from the beginning would take
place and which, within the last few days, was
rendered inevitably certain. MIR &. NJ. Clay's

The following from the Maysville (Kenlukcy)

aASoqnER ErfEcT.-We learned rcrbaliy, on
Yesterday morning, that The excitement manifest

adjoining counties, lad also similarly compelled
the suspension of The Christian InlellisenccI,' a
Methodist paper published in Georgetown Scott

accused of Abolionis,n, pertnaciously lis
ayowed such sentiments He was however
strong in his condemnation Of The men and the
