ueman whose name heads this though out of active
service, Is emphatically public man, made 30 by
his public spirit and his faithful public services
In singing him from the whole delegation defeated
in the Fourth Ward, we will not be considered in
vidious when unhesitatingly accord to them,
as WHOLE more than an aggregate amount Of
talent and business capacity. The promptness
and unanimity with which Mr.. Clements was cho-
sen to succeed DR.. Davis President of the Board,
show the estimation in which he was held by the
Board itself The ability and dignity with which
he administered the complicated duties Of that po-
eition confirmed the wisdom of their choice a. EN-
phaticaly az does public opinion his general char
acter for integrity and usefulness. In the retiracy
from IL, it is to be hoped he win, some day, be
again called forth. We wish him all the happi-
ness and success due to virtue and industry.

The BUCHANAN CLUB.--Last night in accord
ance with previous call, an uncertain number of
gentlemen met at the Franklin Engine House, for
the formation of Buchanan and Breckenridge
Club From an insider, we learn that the meeting
was not so harmonious as it might have been.
There were several difficulties among which may
be mentioned the absence of all the real genuine
Jackson Democracy, except three-the presence
of renegades from Jacksonism and the predomi-
nance of Wings, and ofice-hoders. The old
wheel horse" of Jscksonism, was on hand, and on
permission of the meeting, undertook TO regulate
matters, on putting the saddles the right horses
but his remarks being distasteful, he had to yield
the floor at the very threshold Of an exhibition that
would have astonished the natives. OF course he
retired when he found that the magic spell of
Jacksonism had been broken, and modern Democ-
racy, had all its own way. We understand that
Dr.. Boyle was chosen President.

sophy

HERBERT or CALlroRsrA--The Cincinnati SEA
sette" answers the denial about the presence OF
Herbert, en- CO. in the Cincinnati Convention as
follows;
THE Enquirer does not deny that be was pres.
cnt In the Convention, and active not only in
bringing about the nomination of Buchanan, but in
adopting the platform. The writer of this was
introduced to Herbert in Washington last winter,
and he saw him sitting with the California dele
gates in the Convention. It is well known that no
one was admitted to seats assigned for delegates
but those who were delegates. The California
delegation had seats Immediately in front of the
stage, on which were the President and the other
officers of the Convention, and with the California
delegation sat Herbert, the murderer of the Irish
waiter Heating, and il not delegate, he assumed
to be one. He was frequently consulted by the
California men, and appeared to take as active
part in the proceedings Of the Convention as any
one in the Convention. He was present when
Hallett read the platform and signifed his approval
of it by rapturous applause, rapping on the floor
with cane which he held in his hand We
afterwards saw him on the platform, talking with
some Of the Vice Presidents or Secretaries
1t il well known that no one received tickets of
admission to the door, uness he was n delegate
Mr.. Herbert was admitted TO the floor, and sat
with the delegates from his State How did he
get thereY how came he possessed Of a delegate 8
ticket, unless he was delegate?"
