C.. Nj. CLAY AND THE TRUE AMERIcAN.-
Our readers are generally acquainted with
the fact that paper ef this title has been
published lie Lexingtoo, by the gentleman
whose name 10 mentioned. TWAS an abo-
lition paper with The abolition features, mar
ked with all the tindiciive strength pitts
editor. Ii was published some two months,
much to the discomfort Of the public, who
however made no demonstrations against
it. In one of the late numbers. however,
articles appeared, which fully aroused the
people. Among other things the editor
warned the people .sthat there were but
panes Of glass between the oppressed and
degraded masses in the streets and the thin
skinned women on The ottoman" Meetings
were called, and twas resolved that tie
publication Of the paper should be suspen
ded. The resolution was communicated to
Mr. Clay on sick bed, who replied with
great deal Of Wind ctIvensss refusingto &C
cede to the poPular wish. He subsequent
Iy took more conciliatory course, but it
was too late; the populace were fairly a
reused, and his press andtypes were taken,
packed up and sent to Cincinnati, where
they were at the latest dates. That there was
no strife nor bloo6shed, may be attributed
10 the fact Of Mr. Clay's illness, for had he
teen we'll, he would not peaceably have
permitted it. What he will do when he
gets well,if he should, Is a matter Of conjec
|pure. We should expect him, from the
little we know OF his character, to yield the
ground only with his LIE.
Doubtless the proceedings of the citizens
Of Lexington will be very generally con
dcnhed, b.: is there no cause Of complain,
on the other side. Could il be expected that
fathers and husbands could sit quietly
by and be told that there were but panes
Of glass between the oppressed masses and
the thinned skinner woman on the ottoman.
There was no law TO protect them, and they
met the mob spirit which dictated such
language in corresponding spirit. But il
must be a matter Of regret to all good men,
that such occurrences or cause for them,
should be (ound in our midst.

The Co. CoNvENTIoN-ITs REpREsEy.
TATioN.-We think there has heretofore been
error in the mode Misrepresentation in our
county conventions. Each town is entitled to
rec delegates, without reference 10 her pop
ulation. This is not Democratic; the towns
should be represented according to their
population or number of voters. The right
and proprety, as well as Democracy of this
is sufficiently apparent, as is the wrong and
aniI-democratic nature of the old system.--
We would suggest to our county conven-
ton TO pass resolution amending the mode
OF representation, making tito correspond
With the voters, fixing such a ratio as may
be desired. The Convention of Walwonh
Co, made the ratio of representation, one
delegate TO twenty-five voters; this we think
is TOO much; one to fifty being ample
But of this the Convention will Judge
fit should be determined to mike the alter
alton.

The wings appear determined, If posi-

to say nothing as to the matters At issue.
Mr.. Martin was once President of the
Wisconsin Bank. True, il was seven
years ago; and true also, be was not Pres-
dent for more than year before its failure,
but the fact Of his having been President
Of the Bank is rung with all its possible
changes, and with all the embellishments
that wing fancy. prolific as il is, can sug-
gest. When the Democracy dominated. Mr..
Martin, they were well aware that he had
once been connected with the Wisconsin
Bank, and they were also we'll aware to
what extent he was censurabe, in view OF
that connection, so far as the Democracy
and their principles were concerned. They
had no objection 10 him, and they nomina-
ted him as in every way worthy Of the
support of the Democracy. The delegates
at Madison had no object Ter design to
deceive the people who sent them
there. There was no personal feeling
whatever at work among them. They
made the nomination solely with view
to the best interest of the party, and also
of the territory at large. When the whole
community were wild on the subject OF
Banks and speculation, Mr. Martin was
quite as likely to fall into error as the Test
of US; but we know and his worst enemies
cannot deny, that since the evil of those
institutions have become apparent, and the
Democracy been arrayed against them that
they have had no more talented and ardent
opponent in the territory than Mr.. Martin
Why do moi his opponents state these facts.
They rely upon torturing and perversion
of the past TO accomplish their ends. They
would blind the people to the present ifthey
could. They would hide the fact that it is
the uhig candidate, with all the errors and
evils of the whiggery of the present day,
that they would have the people support TO-
stead of the candidate efthe Democracy
who properly represents the opinions and
principles oflhe party. Let not the PEG.
