OJWe have received from Annapolis a
copy of the printed address of the opponents
of the proposed Rail road bridge at Havre-de-
Grace. Ii consists Of arguments and affida
Wits woven into strong remonstrauce. We
have barely had time to glance it. 1t lays
down against the bridge the following prop
osilions:
LIST The convenience Of the travelling
public does not require it.
End. The public good does not require it.
3rd. Because it is believed the revenue OF
the State would be decreased thereby.
4lh. Because said Bridge would greatly
o5struci the navigation of the river.
These positions are strongly argued, and
fortified by atfilavils.
We often wondered why some citizen of

system of Education, under which the
poor school fund Of the county may be
more judiciously and eftctually appro-
priated than it can be under the svs-
TEN which now prevails.
Resolved, That we respectfully dissent
from that part of the said petition which
refers to the donations to the academies
in this county, and that We cannot unite
with our fellow citizens who have
signed the said petition in asking the
Legislature to withdraw said donations,
not only because we believe that these
donations cannot be better applied than
they now are, but also because the fund
to which it is proposed to add them is al
ready greater than can be judiciousy
used under the present system.
Resolved, That the organization of an
entirely new system OF education for the
county is not in the judgment of this
meeting the work of an hour, day or a
week, but requires due delibera.on and
laborlous examination, of other systems
as regards their applicability to our pc
culiar condition, and that in view of the
interest which the citizens of the whole
county have in this matter, the subject
ought not to be too partially considered
or too hastily acted upon; but that an OPP
portunlty should be rendered to the cit
liens OF the county generally to unite in
forming more perfect system suited to
our own condition and circumstances.
Resolved, That when this meeting adj
journs, it shall adjourn to meet again at
this place, on Saturday the 4th dav of

The Ledger gives most glowing accoun, 4
of his reception in Philadelphia, and ends
with the following paragraph.
'The number of people who crowded the \
streets, was immense, and has never beena
exceeded within our acknowledgement a fars
computation, one hundred thousand personsa

VEE.. Cav.

We take following extracts from the
Philadelphia Ledger of yesterday in re-
lation to Mr.. Clay-here and when he
reached thatclty:
s'The man who wields magic power
over many hearts, whose friends are
counted by legions, is now among us.
the warm admiration, fervent and en-
dearing, amounting almost to idoatrv,
with which he is regarded by the great
majority of Wings, has had full vent,
and our city yesterday displayed an OK
citement of enthusiasm, which surpassed
anything Of the kind we ever witnessed.
We have seen many receptions OF public
men, and have a recollection of every
demonstration Of the kind which has oc-
Cured in this city since the visit OF Laf-
agate, and we have never seen such a
wild outpouring ofthe hearts feelings,
such warm, ardent, almost cXtravaTant
display Of enthnsiasn-such an intense
and strong burst Of popular welcome as
that which yesterday greeted the en-
trance to the city, ofthe great statesman:
Henry Clay"
Mentioning the arrival ofthe commit
tee at Elkton, the Ledger proceeds:
"Herc the coming of the committee
was anticipated, and the Wings of Elk
ton had prepared a plentiful and stump
tuous entertainment at the Washington
Hotel, kept by mine host, Joseph lay
!or, host who has a proper estimate of
the wants Of hungry humanity. All
suitable attention was paid to the COM
estibles, and their claims upon the COM
pany duly recognized and attended to,
After which, upon the invitation Of Col.
John G. GroomP, Chairman of the Com
mttee of the Wings Of Elkton, they Wis
tied his. mansion and partook Of his So
cial hospitality.
The committee were then assembled at
the Washington Hotel, when Col. John
Swift, upon their behalf, returned thanks
to the Wings of EIkton for the cordial
and unexpected welcome which they had
received, and congratulated the Mary
land Wings upon this evident manfes-
tations of love for the good old Wing
cause.
COL John c. Groome responded briefly
and pertinently on behalfof the Wings
of EIkton, and assured Mayor Swift and
the committee that they were proud to
have among them such long-tried friends
of the " hig cause as the members OF the
Philadelphia committee, and concluded
by expressing wish that they might all
be afforded another opportunity of de-
posting their votes for Henry Clay.
In reference to MIR. Clay's reception
here the Ledger tells the following,
which is not found in our account of the
proceedlngs-because we were one Of
the 'uncomfortably envious" or for some
other reason.
''He was, therefore. presented to the
ladies, and no sooner was he brought a.
mong them, than one OF them, beauti-
