this, the scene was US iflthree thousand lunaiics
were present, instead Of sane, .selr4relant m<n.
In the midst Of The yelling, the'An,ies adjourned,
and the Benton men gained the stond. But their
turn had come, and the effort 10 address the
meeting was drowned in the laundering disspr
probation of the many Anties0 pyesent, Things
could rot last long In this WAY. A trans
parent banner OF "Conway, Union and r eformh
was brought into the meeting, and speedily be-
came the point from which radiated twenty or
thirty pugilistic contests, The banner was soon
torn up into thousand shreds, and trampIed un-
der foot, and the pole, 10 which the Bentonites
tenaciously adhered, was next broken. 1t is

sharp, iurring click of his pistol lock, and Mr..
Trader made for the stairs. To give him EAR

to wake up his nerves. IL is due 10 Mr.. La

met, and are on good distant terms. ,..,a.

LETTER FROM Mn. CLAY.-Mr. Clay has re-
Gently written a letter TO friend in New York
which was not designed for publication, but
which he has consented to have published. 1t
appeared i'll the last number of the n. Y. En-
press, and from that paper we copy it.
Mr. Clay has been represented as having de-
clared that he preferred General Cass for the
next Presidency, A statement so improbable
was Of course believed by but few. His ex-
preston of preference for Mr.. Fillmore is in
strict accordance with the wishes Of the Wings
Of Kentucky, and, as we believe, in accordance
with the wishes Of majority Of the Wings in
the Union, That Mr.. Clay will be censured
for thus expressing his preference is beyond
doubt. The friends of General Scott and Mr.
Webster may think that he ought not TO have
given the influence o. his name TO either Of the
/ gentlemen whose names are spoken of in con-
neeiion with the Presidency But Mr.. Clay
r has precisely as much right any other citizen
I to express his opinions on such a subject. Al
1 any rate, he gives very good reasons for his
e preterence.-I Lou. Journal 100.
