letter from a Son of Henry Clay.

Thomas H.. Clay, Esq, who was u
Delegate to the American National
Convention, has addressed letter to
the Americans of the Eighth Congress

speaks of the American candidates,
and expresses his opinion as to the
course his illustrious father would pur-
sue in the present crisis, were he now
living: ..... ~. Be-,

unhesitatingly: lie was anational and

this platform, than l have Of my own

One word as to our candidate for the
Vice Presidency. l have known him
for more than thirty years, and [ be-
liove him to be an honorable, patriotic

Brothers Of the American party, is

Protection Against Negro Stealing.

At its late session, the legislature

ton against tho abduction Of slave pro-
pcrty. The law requires The pilots to
search every vessel outward bound to
ascertain if there be any slaves aboard.
The inspection fee is FIVE dollars and
an Inspector General Or. j. j. Simkins)
has been appointed by tho Governor to
reside at Norfolk. A heavy penalty
$500 is imposed on any ship master
who leaves the waters of Virginia be-.
fore such inspection is made.
The bill was draughted by Dr.. NAL
Tory of Norfolk, and though its provis-
ions involve many delicate questions of
constitutional law, both State and fode-
raj, yet his most assiduous attention for
many weeks Of the session was directed
to the framing Of these provisions, so as
to avoid any cncroachm cnt oneither the

Encounter MitI, a MoIc.

Some two or three. weeks since, saws
the Cumberland Telegraph, very
large male wolf, driven by hunger from
the mountain forests, made his appear

county, known as the Crossings Forks.
He commenced his depreda,ions upon

several weeks. AT last a young man
named Christian Beachy, who had fre.
quently encountered his tracks in the
deep snow, declared his Intention To give
him chase if he ever came across him

When his companion arrived he was

his feet in a steeltrap, and had thereby
lost the entire foot to the first joint.

The debate in the House of Repre-
sentatives on the Suffrage iu(says
the " American Organ has shown
greater extent of American feeling and
sentiment in that body than many had
believed to exist. 1t is now manifest
that upon question involving only an
issue upon the principles and policy of
the American party, there is majori-
ty in the House in favor of Americans
ism. In the organization of the House
another element had an influence which
was powerful, and which to great ex-
tent, controlled the action of that body.
Upon the Suffrage Bill for the city of
Washington, questions purely Ameri-
can arose, and the result has shown
that Foreignism cannot control ma
jority of the House of Representatives.
The people of Washington owe many
thanks to the champions of American
doctrines in the House who so ably de-
Tended the true interests of the perma-
nent residents and tax payers of the
city. We would fain hope the day is
far distant when the legislation of Con-
gress will place this metropolis in the
control of foreign floating population.

JACKSON, Polk, WIsE.--In 1885,
when Henry A. Wise, (Gizzard-foot, J
was an ultra Wing member of Congress
and James X. Polk was the Speaker Of
tho House, Wise met the latter on
Pennsylvania avenue and said to him
",Str, you are a d----n little petty
tyrant. Imean this as personal; yo4
can pocket tie insult!!"
To this abuse, Col. Polk afterwards
replied, to his constituents:
"Fellow-citizens, this Wise is no.
thing better than grog.shop bully.

ton | occupied, and you my constitu-
ents, if | had condescended to notice
him. My course towards Wise met

Icons conquerors. will read his GER
tificate." at
The letter of Gen. Jackson, which
Col. Polk read upon the stump, was, in
| SupeIuAVS, puuliouCu III luc SIullaVlU
Union, dated August Oath, 1910, and
the part relating to this affair, is in
these words: ,.es.s
81 recollect when Wise assailed him
(Polk), as Speaker of the House of
Representatives, using probably the
expressions you have quoted, spoke
of Wise's conduct as did every citizen
who had any respect for the House, in
strong terms of disapprobation. And
concurrcd with others in the opinion,
that the Speaker, Polk), in treating
such q blackguard with contempt pur-
sued the course which was most con-
sistent with the dignity of the House,
and a just respect.
ANDREW JACKSON."
Vs.. So it seems that Wise was con-
sidered blackguard in the days of
General Jackson; and, we may add,
he holds his own right well yet. The
'ebo-shin, 'gizzard-foot' letter is in re-
markedly good keeping with his attack
on Mr.. Polk. ~

and that by accident, while following
his alchemical pursuits. Bismu,h and
zinc in 1880; while from 1888 to the

Corn Spectators Biuen-Since the
income of the corn crop this season
spectators and dealers have been
largely engaged in making purchases
along the Ohio and Wabash ri.ers. -
They commenced operations at com
paratively high figures, and soon the
river banks were lined with hugh piles
OF corn in sacks awaiting shipment; but
prices almost Immediately declined,
aud holders in a great measure ceased
shipping, as the price in foreign markets
would not warrant the cost Of transpor-
tation. a steamer arrived at Louisville
from Henderson last week with one
thousand sacks of corn for distillors in
Carrollton. 1t is tho first receipt oc a
purchase by them of about so, 1000 bush :
els of corn. 1t was bought in Indiana
early in the season, aud the price paid
varied forty to forty-two cents per bush.
ell Subsequently they preferred the
farmers ten cents per bushel To take the
corn back and roscind their contracts
which they of course refused. Other
buyers entered more largely into the
trade, and very many Of them bought
corn by the hundred thousand bushels,
OF agreed to take tho entire standing
crops OF the farmers, anticipating high
prices. The market every where, as
fast as corn began to arrive, declined
and prices went down to 25 cents, at
which rates spectators are again buy.
