The letter of Mr. Clay, declaring his intention
of accepting nomination for the Presidency,
has touched a sympathetic feeling in every wing
heart, whilst the democracy are in extacies. as
they think they will have no difficulty in again
distancing the great Kentuckian Like Presi-
dent Van Buren,, President Polk will demand
the nomination, in order to see whether Jas X.
Polk, now that he is known to the country, can
not run as we'll as when the question was, Who
Is Jas. X. POlk!"
But this acceptance comes with peculiarly
pleasing sensation to the wings of Baltimore
Scarcely twenty-four hours had elapsed since
their announcement that Harry Clay was their
first choice, when his letter appears, promising
to allow his name to be used in the approaching
contest. This letter will give new phase to
President making at Washington.
The Mineral B ank of Maryland has again re-

The Clay Festiral-A Child Killed by Vhiske
The Clay wings of Quietly were last evening
grati6ed while celebrating the birthday of their
chieftaln, by the reading of an address from Mr..
Clay, received by telegraph from Cincinnati,
consenting that his name should be submitted to
the wing national convention as candidate
for the Presidential nomination. Many of Mr.
Clays best friends view this determination as
presage of defeat for the whig party in the ap-
preaching contest, and the democratic party will
undoubtedly have their hopes revived of main
tanning the ascendancy in our national govern
ment, for at least four years longer.
The son of Mr.. Adam Book, Of the Northern
Liberties, died this morning from the effects OF
swallowing hall pint of whiskey yesterday
afternoon. The sufferer, who was about seven
years old, took the bottle in the absence Of the
mother, and, with the assistance of two other
children, emptied it of its contents. The latter
fortunately did not swallow enough of the liquid
to harm them much.
