Henry Clay's Son for Buchanan.

The following extract from letter written by
James B. Clay, and dated Ashland, July 8, will
show that he is for Mr.. Buchanan, and, though
old line Wing, will vote for him. We hear great
deal from the K. N. presses about Mr.. Buchanan
having "slandered" Henry Clay. If this charge
be true, would not his son James B. Clay, the
owner OF Ashland, know it t?-and if he knew
believed it, would he vote for Mr.. Buchanan? Of
course not. Mr.. Clay, after referring to the fact
that the old line Wings of Kentucky had declined
to commit themselves to Mr.. Fillmore's support,
says:
Therei also statement copied into the Observer and
Reporter of the 5h instant that haGpbeen heard say
that not fol Buchanan" may have said that MIR. Bu
chanan not candidate not choice for the
Presidency but have not said that should not vote for
him. prefer Mr.. Fillmore personally, and if he stood
the principles did in 1850 would vote for him in
preference any know. But expect to cast my
vote for that candidate who opinion have the
best chance to defeat the candidate of the black Republican
party and at advised think Mr. Buchanan has the
best chance to do wish nevertheless be distinct
y understood that if shall think my duty vote for
Mr. Buchanan shall vote old line Whig, making
choice of what he believes be evils for the good of the
country and that whenever Whg standard shall again
be raised adherng always to the principles which have
been instrumental in asserting at Lexington and at Louis
vile the sd July, shall be ready, fairly honestly and
fearessy to battle against those principles and pctses of
the Democratic party which conflict with views"

Messrs. Brooks and Burlinoane

WASHINGTON, July 22.-This morning Mr.. Brooks
arrested and held to bail in the of IS 900,
for having sent a challenge to Mr.. Burlingame Mr..
Bell of Texas went Mr.. Brooks security Another
warrant issued for the arrest of Mr.. Burlngame
but he was not to sbe found. A rumor that duel
has been fought, and that Mr.. Burlingame has been
wounded has gained credence, from the fact of the
absence Of both from the city. and that Mr.. Brooks
has returned alone, and said after, his warrant that
the proceedings were too late. There is considerable
excitement in consequence. 1t is now understood
that the matter has been amcaby arranged and that
the correspondence will be published tomorrow.
[Mr. Brooks has published a statement, setting
forth the facts in this matter, and presenting Bur-
lngame in no enviable light. 1t seems tha, Brooks
after having every assurance that Burlingame would
fight, challenged him; and Burlingame accepted,
fixing the place on the Canada shore, near Niagara.
This is hundred miles, by the mail route, from
Washington; and Mr.. Brooks, in order to meet him,
would have had to the gauntlet of mobs, assas-
SINS prisons and constables. He therefore declines
to 60, delivering Burlingame over to the condemna-
ton of all honorable men. He says, however, that
if Buringame will challenge him he will still regard
him gentleman, for the purpose of meeting
him.

District A correspondent writes us as follows:
ave likely to have spirited canvass in this Senate

Steele, both of Richmond and both of them prominent
Wings. Gen. D. has been brought out by Know Nothing
Convention, and Col Steele has been put upon the track
principally by the anknow Nothings with many of the
old line " higs.
Col Steele, know frankly his determination
to support Buchanan against Fillmore, for he feels him

TRUTH that the party the only surviving nation

crisis then all is lost.
Col Steele has also been strongly solicited to be-
candidate by the friends of the Wilmington, Char
lotte and Rutherford Railroad for they look to him. and

to cripple this of the great enterprises of the day. aud

from the want of influence which he will feel in the next
Assembly he possibly be of much service the

The BLACK CoALrTIoN.-It is at length authorita-
lively announced that arrangements are being made
between the friends of Fillmore and Fremont in
Pennsylvania to harmonize one Electoral ticket,
so as to cast the vote of the State for either may
be deemed best against Mr.. Buchanan. The New
York Tribune says Convention, with this object in
vew will be held at Harrisburg in September
1.-THE practical object says that paper, is to form
an Electoral ticket of these different elements which
shall be acceptable to each, and thus concentrate
aggregate vote that is scattered, through want
of harmony and understanding" This game was
tried last year in Pennsylvania. The Know Moth
ings, the black Republicans, and the old line aboi-
ton Wings all united, under cali to that effect
from their State Committees, against the Democra-
tic candidate for Cs--h Commssioner-but they
were defeated. Is it'surprisng that the freesoers
and abolitionsts at the orth should thus coalesce
against the national Democratic party, when they
are invited to do so by Mr.: Rayne, and other South.

~ The K. N. papers of this City have consid-
cred it their duty recently to deny that certain lead
ing gentlemen, old line Wings, are for Bragg and
Buchanan They give names, and among them
those of Ex-Gov. Manly, Willie P. Mangum, and
Giles Mebane. Now what does this mean? These
gentlemen have not been referred to, or claimed by
the Democratic prints, Bragg and Buchanan men.
Does it not show that these X. N papers are them
selves in doubt to the of these gentlemen?
Why, if there was no doubt about their position,
are their names thus ugged before the public? The
Democratic presses are not under the necessity of
declaring every week or two, that certain leading
Democrats are not Fillmore and Gilmer men. We
can tell the Register and Signal-and we now make
no particular reference to Messrs Manly, Mangum,
and Mebane-that we happen to know quite as much
about the views and position of many of the old line
Wings as they do,-but we shall not publish street
rumors and private conversations. 1t is enough for
us to know that many of the old line Wings, in all
parts Of the State, aith u.s. and that their votes
will be cast for Bragg and Buchanan.

The Crops.

The Richmond Whig, speaking of the crops in
virginia, says: "1rgeneral alarm, from the noun
@hs 70 the seaboard, is felt for the corn crop. The
rams have been partial and limited in quantity, the
'a'nc" bug universal and like the sand of the sea
sn0re for numbers. Many corn fields are entirely
destroyed by them already, and others can only be
saved oy timely and copious rains." This is true,
" considerable extent, as to North Carolina. Rain

WEBSTER WHIGs FOR BUCHANAN-Among the old
line Wings in Boston, says the Times, who have de-
clared for Buchanan, Col. N. A. Thompston, Otis
Kimbal John H. Eastburn, Peter Harvey, (the fast
friend of Webster,) Harry Hortor, Col. Jno. c.
Boyd, Col. j. Pullman Bradee Capt. Edw'd Young,
Seth Sprague and other active and distinguished
national men. From Maine, we hear of large acces-
sions to the Democratic ranks from among the old
line Whgs-and so far from the apostacy Of Hamlin
and Mor having any injurious effect upon the
in the old Pine Tree State, it has had the effect of
stirring up friends there to renewed efforts, which
are sure to be rewarded by triumphant victory.
The Pittsburg Union states the fact that Robert
c. Walker, late Whg member in the Legislature
from Allegheny county, Pennsylvania has taken the
stump for Buchanan. In Connecticut, Henry P.
Graves, son-in-law of Gov. Dutton, the Know Moth.
ing Whig magistrate of the State has come out aga
inst the Black Republicans, and announces his de-
termination hereafter to vote with the Democracy.

Mr. FILLMOREs FRIENDS THREATENING TO STOP THE

uous parts in the debate. Mr.. Haven was under.

on this point that he pledged himself to vote for no
appropriation until the Missouri Compromise should
be restored The fact that these two gentlemen

to the position of their candidate on question on
which he has been too conservative to express his
opinion"
The remarks of Mr. Dunn on the occasion are as
follows:
