adds that this movement will take from Buch-

that last year Clay and all his friends, includ-

B. L. Clarke, against the American party, and
will now support Fremont. 1t estimates this
vote at not less than 5000, which is equal to
$4,000 loss from CIarkes vote to Buchanan,

carry the State by a large majority. The News

1160, Pope Eugenius rebuilt it OIL a mag

Vatican was put into a state Of repair. again
