will give you IN outline of the manner in

VIII give you Outllue OI Ilc manner IN
which would handle it. Show the origin of
slavery Trace its Introduction to the Brit
ish Government Show how it is disposed of
by the Federal Constitution. That it is left
exclusively to the States, except in regard to
fugitives. direct taxes and representation.
Show that the agitation of the question in the
free States will first destroy all harmony, and
hnally lead to disunion-perpctual war-the
extinction of the African race-ultimate mill
tary despotism. But the great aim and OBJ
jeet of your tract should be, TO arouse the
laboring classes in the free States against
Abolition. Depict the consequences to
them of immediate Abolition The slave es,
being free, would be dispersed throughout
the Union; they would enter into competition
with the free laborer with the American. the
Irish, German; reduce his wages, be confoun-
ded with him, and affect his moral and social
standing. And as the ultras go both for
Abolition and amalgamation, show that their
object is to unite in marriage the laboring
white man and the laboring black woman, to
reduce the white laboring man TO the des-
pissed and degraded condition of the black
man.
l would show their opposition to Coloniza-
ton. Show its humane, religious and patriotic
aim. That they are to separate those whom
God has separated Why do the Abolition
lists oppose Colonization 10 keep and ANAL
gate together the two races, in violation of
Gods will and to keep the Blacks here, that
they may interfere with, degrade and debase
the laboring whites. Show that the British
Government is cooperating with the Abolit-
ionists. for the purpose of dissoIyine the
Union, &c. You can make a powerful article,
that will be felt in every extremity of the
Union I am perfectly satisfied it will do great
good Let me hear from you on this subject.

County Convention.

1t Will be perceived that the chairman Of the
County Committee has issued notice for the del
egates to the late County Convention to re- e-assen-
ble in this place the 23rd inst, to nominate a
candidate for Prothonotary, which office has be
came vacant by the sudden death of Milton Rob
erts Esq.
We hope that the delegates wiz all cndeavor to
attend, as the Office to be filed is not only an i'm
portant one to the people but it is desirable that
all the districts should have voice in the selec
ton OF the candidate. The ticket already formed
is one OF the strongest ever presented to the De-
mocrcy of the county, and it only now remains
to fill the vacancy which has happened by the
nomination Of a good and competent person many
OF whom we have in ranks, and the success
OF the whole ticket is sure by an overwhelming
majority.

ARKANSAS.
TEXAS.
An Important Movement.

We observe that Senator Bigler from this State
has introduced into the United States Senate, a
resolution, calling on the President for copies Of
John {. Freniolt's accounts and vouchers, for
monies aliedged to have been expended by him
in California, while he held a military position in
that country. The papers which the President
will communicate to the Senate from the official
records at Washington, are looked for with much
anxiety. 1t will be full exposition of Fremonts
cattle and horse speculations while in that coun-
try, through means of which he attempted TO de
fraud the Government'out of an immense sum of
money. If the papers and documents referred
to sustain the charge which has been made against
Col. Fremont, which nothing nor less than
s,oindltng and while his friends have not vet de
MED he is totally unworthy the support of every
honest man.

SPEECH OF JAMES 3. CLAY.-We publish this
week the able speech recently delivered by JAS
B Clay, son of the lamented Henry Clay, at the
Union meeting held a. Maysville Kentucky. We
hope that all will give the speech caieful peru
sal, and we commend 1t to the attention Of those
old line wings who hesitate to support Mr.. Bu-
chanan under the impression that he did Mr.. Clay
injustice in the bargain ard sale charge. Mr. Clay
shows that his father entirely exonerated MIR Bu-
ehanan OF the charge so eften made, and still per-
sisted in by many of the opposition papers; and
ne hesitates not to believe his father in preference
TO others who hesitate not to invade the sanctity
OF the tomb in search OF weapons to strike down
political opponent.

Here, Old Line Wings, you have what
three great leaders of the Wing party, as it
existed in its palmiest days. thought of the
Black Republicans Such, says the Lu@c,me
Galo'i, is the language of patriots who foun-
ded the Whig party, who labored for its sue
cess, and who loved it with all the fervor of
their greaG souls s.-Yet they loved their coun-
try more, and when they saw that their party
was in danger of being corrupted by Aboli-

Mr. Gay concluded with an eloquent ap-
peal TO his fellow-citizens, especially old line

Union ticket-to Buchanan and Breckinridge.
He sat down amidst the most boisterous ap-

made by Mr. Clay, and the first ever deliv-
cred in the open air, it was very impressive,
both in manner and matter. With some
of the tones and actions Of his father. Mr..
Clay possesses, clear, concise diction, much
logical force and manly style. He declared
he was not an orator. and appeared somewhat
oppressed and restrained by the apprehension
that too much might be expected ON the
sou of Henry Clay. His speech, however
carried conviction to every nlind of his homes

Nothing dens, the following letter from HENRY

clearly, the Janeful tendencies of Black Re

hostility to labor. its injurious consequences
upon the Irish and German cirizens, when
the blacks are set free, to become their rivals,
&C. What national Whig would hesitate a
moment in the face of such an appeal to take
arms against party SO witheringly denounced
by this great and immortal leader And what
would be the feeling of HENRY CLAY if he
were living aow, and saw Black Republican
ism making au open issue against the Union
Indeed, he prophecies the present fearful
state ofthings when he calls upon Mr.. Cotton
to show that the agitation of the question in
the free States, ''will first destroy all harmony
and finally lead to dissolution Are we not
already on the brink of those fearful conse-
quences? The letter was addressed by Mr.
Clay to Rev Walter Cotton:
ASHLAND, Sept. 2, 1S43.
Ny DEAR SIR: Allow me to suggest a SUBJ
ject for one of your tracts, which, treated in
your popular and condensed way, think
would be attended with great and good effect.
| mean Abolition.
1t is manifest that the nltras of that party
are extremely mischievous, and are hurrying
on the country to fearful consequences.
They are not to be concliated by the
Wings Engrossed with single idea, they
care for nothing else. They wonld see the
administration of the government precp pitate
the nation into absolute ruin, before they
would lend helping hand to arrest its career
They treat worst, and denounce most,
those who treat them best, who so far agree
with them as to admit slavery to be an evil.
Witness their conduct towards Mr.. Briggs
and Mr. Adams, in Massachusetts,. and towards
me.
