IRE Two CLAYs--AN IMPORTANT DfseHo- sURE.-I'he celebrated visit of C.. II. Clay 10 the Northern States during the last Presiien
 ual canvass will be remembered by all. The democrats believed, and so charged. that Gas stus Was on a mission for the benefit of his distinguished kmsman, and that the enter prise was undertaken with his knowledge and consent, How the whigs denounced his charge is fresh in the recollection of all. The truth on this subject (if Cassius NJ. Clay is good authority) has come to light. He has commenced his s'True American'' in Cincin- natl, and takes occasion to explain his Nor
 thern tour. He says:-
 ''l went by the advice ofone of the central committee for the whigs of Kentuckv,-bv special invitation from about fifty whig clubs oi the North.-by the request before and al- ter my departure of four hundred and sixteen committee men, representing clubs, counties and conyeAuons-hy the irresistible persua- sion otpatrlotic whig women of fOhio--andlast of all by the tacit approval of the leader of the whig party, Henry Clay The day be- tore ielt Lexington, called upon Mir. Clay and told him the purpose of my mission that Il was thought by our friends that coald have an influence, from my peculiar position. with the anti-slayery, anti-Texas voters of the tree States, which no other man could, and that was willing to go if could aid the wing cause, MT. Clay said nothing, but nod ded h'S head, with an approving smile; and alter some unimporiant conversation he offer ed me letters of introduction, which declin- ed as unnecoessary.o
 Thus writes Cassius II. Clay-he was on ! emission" for the benefit of the whig cause "a mission to the anti-I'exas and anti.sla- very voters of the North-and his dsln- snished relative approved the "missionn- aot in express language, but 'he-shakes his ambrosial curls and gives the nod Thus lhe ruth comes to light, and the ''unholy al- lance" between Mr. Henry Clay and anti slavery men, attempted to be enecled, is fully exposed ,Aashriue Uaioa.

TENNESSEE U. $. SENATOR.

After several unsuccessful balottngs, and much exciting discussion, the two Houses of the Tennessee Legislature met in Convention, on Saturday October 5, and elected Hopkins L. Turney, in place of Hon. E. II. Foster, whose term had expired.
 MT. Nicholson having been withdrawn the vote stood:
 FoR Il. L. TuRNGY-i7 whig, and dem ocratic votes-53
 FoR WM. c. DuNLAr-I5 Democratic, and Whig vote--l6.
 Thus it will be seen that the Wings, by combining with miserable little minority of sic out of .fhy one Democratic members, have succeeded in defeating .bc will of the majority.
 We dono! care to pass upon the merits of Mr. Turney, who proesses to bo a Demo- crat; but we cannot forbear to express the opinion, and We believe every true Democrat will agree with Us, that this new Senator elect, whatever he may claim to be, has evin- ced more love of office than of his party and that whatever else he may be, he is not and should not be regarded as tie Democrat ic Senator of Tennessee
 Of WM, c, DUNLAP, who was defeated ly an unholy alliance, but who is nevertheless the choice of ajns teatas of his party, we speak what we do know, when we say that no State can produce better man or better Democrat. He, with every other true heart ed Democrat, would scorn to hold office al the hands of his political opponen,s-woula scorn to be instrumental in defeating the will of his own party. None but a hollow heart ed, treacherous, false democrat could con sent 10 be used as the foul instrument of en- abling Whig minority to triumph over the Democratic majority. The Nashville (IgMqA Banner claims the election Of 1nraeg as q triumph,

VIRGINIA RESOLUTIONS OF 17a8.

 DEeGMBER 2l, 179S. RcSolred, That the General Assembly ol Virginia doth unequiyocally express a firm resolution to maintain and defend the Con- stitution of the United States, and the Con- stisution of this state, against every aggress- ion either foreign or domestic and that they will support the Government of the United States in all measures warranted by the for mer.

 That this Assembly doth explicitly and peremptorily declare, that it views the pow CTS of the Federal Government as resulting from the compact 10 which the States are parties. as limited by the plain sense and in- tention of the instrument constituting that compact, as no farther valid than they are authorized by the grants enumerated in that compact; and that in case of deliberate.

GEoRGiA.-Fhs State is surely entitled to the epithet ofa political see-sdie. If she goes up, in the elections of one year, she is as sure to go down, in those of the next year Last yearshe was Demoeratic-'his year she IS Whig. And so she has been, alternately Democratic and Whig, through the whole course of her political history. If it affords the Georgians either interest or amusement to play at this child'5 game of see-sar, they certainly may indulge in il, "wiihout let or hindrance" from any one. But they must not complain, if by doing so, they earn for themselves the child's reputation for lickla- ness and inGrmity of purpose.
 CRAwroRp, Whig, is elected Governor, by about 1900 majority.
 A "Goorgia Maiora is, already, the world wide synonym of amoek hero. So, in time, 'sGeorgia politieiann may come to mean any thing or nothing.

AMERICAN REPUBLICAN.

TENHTS paper which is the organ of the American
n Republican Party, the FIRST paper of the
kind established, is now rapidly increasing in cir
culaion and usefulness. l, is devoted to the sup
port of the principles, doctrines, movements, and
views Of the American Republican Party--is OPP
posed to the system of making foreigners office
holders, and steadily and fearlessly advocates the
Repeal of the Naturalization Laws.
II is hoped that ALL AMERICANS, Of whatev.

Iy, and adopt them as their guiding creed. Ii is
now generally conceded that by the time Of the
year lS4s the American Republican Party will be
dominant, and will nominate and elect its own
President and Congress. Every native and good
adopted citizen should be prepared TO state wheth-
er he will submit to be governed by foreign pre-
judice and influence, and whether the insulting
declaration,
