I THE WING At A i.GW PRICE,
| We want to do all W can for General
Tay lor and ihr Wing ticket generally,
50 we make the following proposition:
We Will furnish TIE CnctL WnlG from
now until after the Presidential election
to new Subscribers in clubs Of sic or more
at itty cents each, cash in advance.
We intend to make it as useful in the
cause as We can, and hope our friends
will send us in great many names at
the above rates.
Subscribe, gentlemen, for yourse Ives
and have it sent to your friends who take
no paper. 1t
! New SuBscRlBfES.-We have received a
large accession to our subscription list the
las, week, In some cases in clubs of ter.
We respectfully call the attention of our
friends TO the terms for the campaign found
above.
TIE FRIENDS OF Nix. CLAy.-We occa-
Sionally hear fears expressed as to the
course the more ardent of the friends OF
Mr.. Clay may pursue during the coming
contest: and we hear it said, also, that the
conduct of some, even in our own coun-
ty, is calculated to injurc the cause Of
Gen. Taylor. We would sincerely re.
greet If the disappointment Of any Clay
man at the result OF the Philadelphia
Convention, would lead him 10 indulge
in any remark not consistent with his
professions as an opponent from principle
to the dangerous doctrines and actions OF
ultra locotoiSn', as taught anl exhibited
by Polk, Cass & Co.
But We have no doubt as to the course
of the Clay men. With them We We're
KNIT by bonds of the hrm"st attachment
80 the great Statesman Of the Wcst-an
attachment recognized TO be true for that
it gre" stronger from every reverse OF
fortune and chung the closer in every hour
of danger with them we Sympathise in
the disappointment of seeing him set a.
side, and that too, finally; but while we
are proud Of the preference thus worthiiy
bestowed, and admire the chivalry of
those who stood by the glorious old
Kenlucil1an TIL every hope had fled, we
do not forget that there are other traits
Of character of equal beauty with these
evidences of attacEmcnt-tha something
is demanded by duty as well as by friend
ship--tAa, la'rjo'ism stands paramount
TO personal preference.
And well we know that in the hearts
OF all true friends of Henry Clay, the calls
OF duty and patriotism meet a sure res,
ponse. There need be no fear touching
this matter. Polkism must be tumbled
down from power. TO elect Cen Cass
is but to continue the reign OF the worst
species Of locoioCoisiu-to nourlsh the
spirit OF war-to strengthen the barriers
Polkism has thrown in the way of our
mechanics and manufactures. No, no.
there is no cause of fear. In this con-
test Clay men are as Taylor men-both
viii stand together against Cass. They
will form a union ::lor the sake of the
Unions"

Gentlemen: noticed in your paper of Friday,

and also noticed, particularly, your just com
ments on tina. paper and its contemplate Edl-
tor.
On Sunday last, while at Church, my atten.
ton was directed to the reading of an article,
written bs This Editor, about" "a trip South" in
which he plrases 20 attempt TO critic;se on the
county Of Sussex This "Souiherner, with
Northern principles was at our last DULY
Court. soliciting subscription TO his paper, avow
ing, if am righttully informed, his preference
for General TIA, lor, but rot there avowing that
he entertained the opinions on slavery, which
you have quoted (for such an avowal, we be
lieye, would not take with the few Taylor men
in Sussex, He meets with but little encourage
ment or attention, and extends his "Trip South, y
10 Hicksford, Greensvile county, and notices
that village and It's inha oitants with much more
respect.
In his comments on Sussex, he commences al
Stony Creek Depot; says it Is inhabited Princi
paly BY free negroes, and casts reflection OF,
the character Of the place, not bearing on It's
face a word of truth. He goes from Stony
Creek to the Cou House; says "this is pc wee
looking place; more business done at the tavern
than at the bar"
GTur oil the day the crowd came in,
Some for whissey and some for sin."
And that "the smut on some was three inches
thick" This is an outline Of some Of his RICH
SANDER on the county Of Sussex. Had the
number, l would refer you to the date, that you
might Git you thought it worth the while notice
in his long "trip South" me of his political
bearings. | have heard of but two numbers
OF his paper circulating in this section, and
venture to predict that those two will be all tina,
come, with tho permission OF those who sub
scribed for them.
This Editor, | am told, endearor to make
himse conspicuous; but from what | hear of
the effect he produced, it was any thing but to be
desired. He pro esses TO be member Of the
Baptist Church, and thereby y impose him
ssIf on the confidence of our Baptist friends in
some other scclion, who may De ignorant of his
True character and designs. We venture 10
say, nc can get no fellowship with Sussex Bsp'
lists nor others IN this section, When bis true
sentiments, his hypocrisy and imPudenoe shall be
known.
We would warn all who hear of this Editor,
to satisfy themselves Of his rRuE character be.
fore receiving him quietly among them.
understand he expressed a wish or intention
to come TO Sussex and talk TO the folks again.'
This man may do good to some extent to our
cause, by advocating the principles, NOT PaINcI
PIES, the election OF our opponents; but in dis
guise he may travel about, and again get money
from honest men, when il his sentiments were
known 10 them, they would spurn him FROM
among them.
Respectfully, yours. Sc,
