Gr Mr.. Clay, we are told, will spend good
part of the summer season at Newport. While
in Buffalo, large number of people called
upon him. Before he arrived at Buffalo the
a" big gun" was got out, and as the steamer
Saratoga, the steamer which bore the " Ces-
ar and his fortunes" neared port there was a
considerable saltpeire thunder. Many rush
ed on board to see him, and he was finally in
duced TO take turn through the town, and
make short stop at the Weddell.-N. Y
Eaprcss.
We hope this announcement is correct, and
think that ii may be, as there are several let
ters in the Post Office for Mr.. Clay, some of
which are from the immediate vicinity of his
home, and written by those who probably
know Mr.. Clay's Intentions.
p. S. Since the above was in type, we
learn from the Lexington Observer, which
knows, auihcntical y, all his movements, that
Mr.. Clay left home for tho purpose If spend
| ing several weeks in this town, and that he
will return 10 Kentucky in September.

forty thousand dollars were collected from
forced loans on the New York Custom House
and paid over to the Empire Club, to be used
in operating on the then pending Presidential
election. This discred table fact is youched

O1-The nomination Of NATHAN + Dixon
Esq, in the Western District, will secure US
an undivided Wing delegation in the next
Congress. Mr.. Dixon is a son of the late
Hon. Nathan F. Dixon, who represented this
State in the Senate of the United States, at
the time of his death. Mr.. D. is a young
gentleman Of liberal education, and good tai
ents, and is well knosn in his District. He
Westerly for the last ten years, and is a popu-
lar man. He is lawyer, and sustains a high
character as an honorable man. We trus.
that our Wing friends in that District will
now lay aside all personal considerations, and
private preferences, if they have any other
than in favor of the nominee, which we think
they cannot, and come up manfnlly to the
work They have only TO do this, and Mr..
Dixon's election is morally certain. 1t is a
time when the vote of gallant Rhode Island
must not be lost, and tho Wings of that sec
ton of the Stale owe duty TO the party
throughout the country, which they must dis
charge in an honorable manner We feel
that they will do this, and thus remove the
last stain of Locofocoism from our character.
The anxiety which is everywhere felt by all
true Wings as to the result of this election
cannot be fully appreciated but We trust tina
it will so far have its influence as TO make
every voter feel that he has a solemn duty
to discharge, and that this conviction will lcac
him to the ballot box, to deposite his vote fo
the nominee Of The Whig Convention.
