we saw IN The papers few days
since that CAssIUs NJ. CLAY's printing
establishment, in Lexington came very
near being destroyed. but that owing to
the publication Of Gard" on his par,
in which he developed his true lnten-
tons the people were satisfied and dis
persed. From those statements we
concluded the matter had been settled;
but by the following late intelligence it
seems that the end is not yet.
The Louisville Courier of the 18th,
says:
Our information from Lexington is,
that the adjourned meeting held yester-
day. would probably be he largest col
lection of people ever assembled in
Lexington. The people from all the
adjoining counties were much excited,
and it was supposed that there would
be from 10000 TO 10000 people in
Lexington yesterday morning.
A correspondent, of the Journal, Civ
ing an account Of previous meetings,
says:
During the whole ofthe forenoon Of
oday. the popular excitement was
very high. Many anticipated that The
meeting of 3, P. M. would tear down
the Office Of the True American.--
Clay. in anticipation Of such an al
tempt, made his will. armed him
self. and sen. to the Office (being too
sick TO sit up for any great length of
time bed to be occupied by him
during the day. At3, P. NJ. wen, to
the court house, and found it FULL
Beverley Hicks was in the chair. Mr.
Waters. in behalf Of The committee,
reported C. NJ. Clay's letter. and Of.
fered long preamble and resolution
which were read by the Hon. r.. F.
Marshall and unanimously adopted
The preamble was warm relonder to
Clay's handful. The resolution was
that mass meeting of the citizens of
Lexington and Fayette be held at the
cour, house, on the llth inst, a, o.
clock, A. NJ, for the adoption of such
measures as may De deemed expedient.
The adjournment was quiet.
The meeting Of Monday will be
tremendous What il will do | am of
course unable to say. I,may postpone
ultimate action, but think the aImos,
universal impression is that it will re-
solve itself into committee for The
redress of grievances and demolish the
True American" office, though every
body understands that the editor will
have to be killed first, and that he is
somewhat difficult TO kill.
This is mos, Iamentable state of
affairs. What effect the killing of G..
NJ. Clay will have in the free States,
in exasperating the Abolitlonisls and
swellin. their numbers, you can Judge
as well as l. A friend will give you an
account of the doings of Monday.

"When the idle waves. that lash
themselves into fury, shall prevail
against the immovabIe rock of Glbral-

forces of federalism prevail against the
sturdy and sterling forces Of the Hawk
Eye Democracy"
