sHere's to you, Harry Clay"

GREAT Wing MEETING IN New YoRK
FAVOR OF HENRY CLAY.-ln pursu'
ance Of call signed by nine thousand
wings of the city Of New York, ten
thousand wings convened in Vauxhall
Garden, on the evening Of the 9Th lnst.,
to place the name Of Henry Clay on the
whig banner for President. The ven
cradle Willis Hall was placed in the
chair. His address, on accepting that
post, and the manner Of its reception,
are very plain indications Of the state
Of feeling that prevailed amid the rul.
titude. An address and resolutions
were then adopted by acclamation.
The address concludes: "Fully aware
of the responsibility that attaches to US
and to you, we declare our fixed and
unaItered determination to vote for
HENRY CLAY, Of Kentucky.
With the blessing of God we will ad-
here to this and abide by it--earnestly,
zeaIously, and unitedly; and pledge
ourselves, one and ali, to use unceas'
ingIy, all honorable means to insure
success"
Dudley Selden, and others, addressed
the meeting. MIS-. concluded as iol,
lows: "If Clay electoral ticket s''all
be formed, it will receive three.fonrlhs
of the whig votes Of the city OF New
York, and if other parts OF the state
will do as well, Mr.. Clay wiH carry
the State by $4,000 majority"
A telegraphic communication was
read from the Hon. j. M. Bolts, en-.
couraging the friends Of Mr.. Clay to
"go ahead" which was received with
great applause; and the meeting ad.
iourned at late hour with three times
three cheers for Henry Clay.

Gen. Ford under Lock and Key.

Efforts have been made, for some time past, to
ascertain whether Seabury Ford the whg candi
date for Governor, was in favor of Gen. Taylor or
Martin Van Buren for President. But all the
means heretofore adopted have failed 1t is as.
serted however, that Gen. Ford wrote letter to
the whig State Central Committee defining his
position on the Presidential question; but that the
committee would not publish it.
The whig journal, at Columbus, undertakes 10
justify the course OF General Seabury Mum, in
remaining at home, and not giving the people an
opportunity to judge Of his capabilities or qualf-
cations for that high station. When Governor
Bsbb was the whig candidate, he traversed the
length and: breadth of the State. General Harr-
SON, in 1886 and 1910, also made speeches in sew
eral parts OF the United States. He was then the
whig candidate for President. But now with
whiggeTy, it is all wrong for candidate for Gov.
ernor to traverse the state. The reason why Gen.
eral Ford refuses to take the stump is obvious. 1t
Is known that in the northern part Of the Statehe
isregarded as Van Buren man, or at least that he
will not vote for General Taylor; while in the
southern part of the State he is claimed to be
Taylor man and a genuine whg. Now if General
Ford was to traverse the State, the curious inqui-
rer might PROFOUND certain questions to him that
would materially injure his prospects for an elec-
ton, Therefore 1t is he sings mum.

Who is Gen. Lewis Cass?

An exchange answers this question
after the following mannel, all OF
which is as true as the book OF Gen.
esis:
The man who, with single dash OF
the pen, defeated the FIVE greatest Eu.
ropean powers. l..
The man who asserted successfully
the freedom Of the seas, against the
grasping hand of England.
The man who first set hostile foot
on British territory in the war Of 1919.
The man who received the conf.
dence of Jefferson, at the early age Of
"a years.
The man whose character and good
conduct every democratic president!
from Jefferson to the present day, OF.
6cialiy endorsed.
The man who sat for years in the
cabinet Of Andrew Jackson, the co.
worker Of that great patriot in the
cause Of republcanism.
The man who has invariably con-
tended, during the war, for his coun-
try, her honor and rights.
The man who will, il elected presi-
dent, oppose by every constitutional
means, every attempt Of a foreign pow.
er to plant their colonies upon the
western continent.
The man whom the monarchs Of
Europe fear and the oppressed people
Of Europe love.
The man who is destined to lead the
democratic party to an old fashioned
Jackson victory. Such is Gen. Lewis
Cass.

The Good Work goes brayely on.

From every part OF our noble state
comes the cheering note Of preparation
for the contest. The democracy every
where have bucklej on their armor and
are in the field and ready for the battle.
Their standard bearers are tried apd
true--their voices have been heard in
many a conflict, trumpet. toned, encour-
aging the democracy on to the good
fight for the preservation Of the princi-
Piles of Jeffersonian democracy--the
principles which have brought our gov
eminent to be among the first in the
world in wealth-frst in that truer
wealth, the intelligence Of her citizens,
among the first in commercial power,
and first in the happiness Of the people
and the security of property.
Though coalition has been formed
by The supporters of the Buffalo and

the owner of 2SO head of negroes, for
the purpose o. securing the election Of
Seabury Ford, yet still the gallant We'll
Ier will beat them all, for the friends Of
the countryside brave volunteers he
led to battle and to victery against The
enemies of the country, in Mexico, will
be found, to man, by his side in the
fight to come off on the Cd Tuesday in
October next, against the allies Of that
enemy in Ohio.
When the great battle in November
comes of, whIggery will sustain such a
defeat as has not been seen for many
year. The old pioneers Of the west,
will then be at the head Of the columns,
the old settlers and the young settlers.
the men who love their country, and
their principles will be with them--no
combination Of abolition and slavery
propagandism can be brought to bear
against them, and Cass, Butler and de-
mocracy will sweep Ohio, as Gen.
Houston swept the plains of San jacin-
to. against the Mexican phalax, and
Ohio Mexican federalism which will die
in October, will be buried so deep in
November that it can never again rise
to fight another battle under its present
name.-Ohio Statesman.

Letter of John N. Bolts.

We publish the following letter to show what
confidence the leaders Of the whig party have of
slecting Gen. Taylor. The Ohio Statesman says:
"Mr Bolts is shire wd mana leading politician
of the whig school, and one Of the principal bet
tiers Of that party In his letter. he states the home
truth, that Gen. Taylor sis doomed TO certain, in
evitable, and disgraeeful defeat. and every man
not ,cilfuiiy blind must see it," II this be not a
s.fixed fact' we know not what is.
saThe letter ofMr. Bolts ispublished by order Of
the Clay committee, and its sentiments are thus
endorsed by them"

On the night Of the lst inst, as we
learn by letter from Wooster, the
Branch Bank of the State Of Ohio, was
entered and box, containing $l2 1000,

is over one third of the entire amount
Of coin owned by the Bank TO redeem

it was reported TO have been box ol

that it was gold. Wooster is very un.

Bear it in Mind,

That Seabury Ford is the candidate
of that party that opposed their own
country and took sides with the enemy
during the late war with Mexico.
Bear i, in mind--That he is the EN-
bodimen, Of the principles Of lhoseiwho
openly advocated the Withholding Of
supplies Of men and money, food and
clothing, to the brave men fighting their
coun,ry's battles in Mexico, preIerring
to see the brave volunteers murdered
by Mexican guerillas without arms or
ammunition to defend themselves, and
starved for want oi food, rather than 10,
furnish supplies and aid in carrying on
a war commenced by the enemy in the
invasion Of American soil and the MUIR
der Of American citizens. - scaos

might be welcomed with bloody hands

Of 1912, are now branded as Hartford

The signs are encouraging. The
democracy never had better and more
gallant leaders, better cause or more
harmony in their ranks, than during
the present contest. The whig party
seldom, il ever, had worse prospects.
or less to encourage them, and to urge
them on to action. So far the elections
have resulted most gloriously for the
democracy.
