paper; and that Mr. Clay, in his answer, published
the resolutions Of the meeting and stated his nten

BY the Southern mail we learn, that the
country around is in the greatest excitement, in
consequence of some communications which ap
peared in the True american, bearing strongly on
shareholders, to which prefixed some offensive
remarks of the editor, and making indirect threats
against the shareholders. In one of the editorials
the following strong language was used
/ Remember, you who dwell in marble palaces, that
there strong and fiery hearts. and iron pixies in
the silver plate on the board and the smooth sknoed

| These remarks, and bulletin issued by Mr. Clay
to the citizens OF Fayette county, and the city OF
Lexington, in which he defined his plan OF emanci-
patton, ncensed the inhabitants very much, and a
call was issued, signed by some of the most infuen-
tial men in that region for public meeting to be
held on the 18th inst to adopt measures to put down
Mr.. Clays paper.
We annex Mr. Clay's Bulletn:-

LATER AND IMPORTANT INTELLIGENcE.-We
have received later intelligence from Lsxing-
ton, down to the 18th, the day appointed for the
final work on the abolition press OF Clay. 1t will
be perceived from the following interesting letter,
that the '' True Amer1can' concern has been re-
moved to Ohio -
LEXINGTON, KY, Aug. Is, 1875
The proceedings OF the inhabitants, near the
Shades OF Ashland interesting, that feel In
duty bound, to give you few outlines for the bene-
| fit of the readers of the Herald. The last num-
Der OF the True american was so incendiary in its
leading articles, that some OF our influential and re-
| sgectable citizens thought II necessary to call a
meeting of the citizens OF this place together for
| sultatlOn.
Last Thursday meeting was held, and passed a
resolution requesting c. M Clay to discontinue the
publication of that paper The committee appoint
ed to wait on him. were, B. w. Dudley, T. H.
Waters and J w. Hunt. Clay replied to the com.
mittee IN dsgraceful and abusive manner. He told
them they were not appointed by a meeting Of re-
spectacle citizens, but by towards, thieves, and
sassins. The committee reported their proceedings,
and read Clay's letter at the second meeting, on
| Friday last, and recommended another meeting to
be helc this dap. During this time Clay issued iwe
handbils, one laying down his principles, and ano-
ther, containing letter which he wished to be read
before the meeting to-day.
This day there were people from all the adjoining
countless TO assist in the work of protecting our in
terests from the incendary movements Of the abol-
| tionists.
