Less OF THE CLAY MEDAL.-We re-
greet to learn that the splendid Gold
Medal recently presented by a number
Of wings in N. York to Mr.. CLAW has
been lost. 1t was sent by Mr.. Clay TO
Mr.. Ullman, through Miss Lynch, who
happened to be coming from Washing
ton under the protection of Mr.. Charles
Butler. AT his suggestion twas placed
in his carpet bag, which was put upon
hack when il reached that city. On ar
irving at Miss Iynch's residence the
carpet-bag was missing, nor has any
trace been found of it since. In a letter
to Mr.. Ullman mentioning these partic.
ulars. Mr.. Butler requests ':that a perfect
duplicate of the Medal may be prepared
at any cost, as soon as possible after the
loss is finally ascertained, and trans
mitted to the distinguished statesman,
to whom, as tribute from his MANY
friends and admirers, it must be peculi-
arly valuable, and the possession of
which at the present time, cannot fail to
be grateful solace in his hours of con.
inement and reflection"
The Medal was Of gold, beautifully
wrought, and cost 81, 500.

burn, young man in the employ of
Mr.. Reynolds, fell from the scafolding
whilst at work on the foundry buildings,
and was almost instantly killed. When
picked up, he was speechess-his head
struck on apple of stones, crushing the
skull and causing the blood to rush forth
in torrent. The deceased was re-
markably fine young man, devoted to
his trade (carpentering) admired and
beloved by all who knew him. He was
a native of Kent county and leaves a
mother, brother and sister. Who can
depict the anguish of that mother when
the affecting intelligence reaches her.
He will be taken to his former residence
near Turner's creek, Kent county for
interment, in the steamer Port Deposit
to morrow. THIS calamity has cast a
gloom over our whole town. Yours in
haste, PETER.

In connexion with this subject they have exam

Mr.. BUCHANAN, in a letter addressed to a
number of his Baltimore friends, remarks:
"IfI rightly read 'the signs of the times there
has seldom been period when the Democratic
party of the country to which you and are warm.
ly attached, in greater peril than at the pres
ent moment. In order to avert this danger, we
must mutually forget and forgive past dssen-
sions, suffer by cones to be bygones, and com
mence new career, keeping constantly in view
the ancient and long established landmarks of the
party"
The dissensions and weakness Of the Dem
ocratc party have been often exhibited in these
columns during the last three months, and as
often denied by organs Of the party. The cen
trail organ, which up TO month ago battled
Justify against all who dared to call in question
the propriety of its peans on Democratic unity,
suddenly found itself face TO face with facts
which could be disguised no longer and then
for the first time was heard an authoritative
acknowledgment Of the gloomy prospects Of the
reconciliation.
Mr.. BUcHASAS's letter, from which we have
quoted, is dated the 23d ultimo, and yet Mr.
BUcHANAN's organ, the PcnnsyIuanian, from
day to day, and especially on the 2Sth ultimo,
rebukes the Republic and many Of our CON
temporaries for limiting at Democratic disor-
ganizaton. The Pennsylvania desires the

II is easy to write, as Mr.. BUCHANAN does,
Of tho necessity Of mutually forgetting and
forgivng "past dssenslons," suffering by
cones to be by cones" and commencing {"

his advice will, we suspect, be attended with
more difficulty than he appears disposed to ad-
init. The dIssensions are not altogether past
as his language would imply; the obstacles,
instead Of being by.gones, now actually exist
in full force and there is no method Of getting
rid of either, except by such sacrifice of prin-
clple as will deprive the party Of all title to
confidence, or such sacrifice Of numerical
strength as will strip it Of all chances Of sue.
cess. Either the Abolitionisis and Secessionists
must be conciiated by further departures from
national principle, or they must be driven of
by the faithful enforcement Of that principle.
The attempt to blend contrarieGes will be found
as futile IN politics as in physics or morals; and
we have no fear Of party whose prospects
confessedly depend on such soIecsm.

New Hampshire.

We publish in another column the address of
the Wing Central Committee to the WHO'S
of New Hampshire. 1t certainly furnishes no
indication Of any intention among the WHO'S
of that State to enter intoV Abolition alliances
or bargains for any purpose.
1t will be seen that the condition of the
Democrats in New Hampshire corresponds
with their condition in many other quarters.
They are divided by bitter personal quar-
rels. SO they are in Pennsylvania, and in
Missouri, and in New York, and in Mssis-
sippi. We confess that there is much reason
in the apprehensions of Mr.. BUCHANAN, ex-
pressed in his letter TO the citizens Of Balti-
more, Of which we cite an extract in another
article in this mornings impression. Even in
the National Legislature we are pot certain
that the caucus agreement to shake hands with
abolition and secession has restored entirely
harmonious relations in the Democratic ranks.
We commend the New Hampshire address
TO the attention of our readers. The emphatic
tone in which it condemns faction and entang-
ling alliances, and calls for the prompt punish
ment of all who combine to violate the laws or
the Constitution of the United States, whether
at the North or the South, demonstrates that
the Wines of New Hampshire are prepared to
take their stand by the side of the WHIGs Of
Virginia, Kentucky, and Tennessee. We re-
joice to see the manifestations of national spirit
among the WINGS of all sections, responsive to
the sentiments avowed by the PRESIDENT in his
annual message, and by the Wings Of Congress
in their Compromise resolution.

have no wish that is incompatible with the dig
nifty, happiness, and true interest OF the people OF

has been, as far as depended upon the Executive
Department, to comply strictly with all our en-
gagements, foreign and domestic; but to keep the
United States free from political connexions with
every other country, to see them independent
OF all and under the influence of none In word,
want an american character, that the powers OF
Europe may be convinced we act for ourselves,
and not for others This, in my judgment, is the
only way to be respected abroad and happy at
home; and not, by becoming the partisans OF Great
Britain or France, create discussions, disturb the
public tranquility and destroy, perhaps forever,
the cement which binds the Unon.'

cover the annual bonus occurred in the charter TO

bank resisted the claim, the ground that it had
ceascd TO exercise tho functions and franchises OF
banking, and had assigned all its property in
trust to it's creditors The Commonwealth insisted
that, as the stockholders annually elected dircc-
tors, and frequently held meetings, they had not
given up tho franchise granted by the State, and
that the bank was therefore bound to pay the an

tanned this position and the State has therefore a
settled claim against the bank for Sl,300,OO0.
