Hon. James b. Clay.

The Congressional canvass in the
Ashland CKentucky) district was opened
on Monday last by Mr., Clay and his OPP
ponent, Mr.. Hanson. The Kentucky
State Flag says:
"Mr. Hanson was greeted when he
appeared upon the stand with some APP
plause by his friends; but when James
b. Clay appeared he was greeted with
prolonged shouts of applause. We are
satisfied that his nomination was the
very best that the party could have made
in this race, and he will excite an enthu-
siasm in every part of the country un-
equalled by any past Congressional can
vass. The old-line wings feel that he is
their candidate. He bears the name of
their great leader, and is in every re-
spect worthy scion of the noble race
from whence he has sprung. The demo-
Gratis to a man will stand by him to the
death, because of his gallant and noble
service in their cause, and the cause of
our common country, during the last
presidential campaign"
We give below Mr.. Clay's letter ac-
cepting the nomination for Congress. 1t
breathes the right spirit:
ASHLAND, NEAR LEXINGTON,
May %, 1857.
GENTLEMEN: | have received the let
ter dated to-day, which, as committee
of the convention assembled at Cynthia
ma on the 22d, you have addressed to
me, informing me of the high distinction
conferred upon me by the convention in
nominating me unanimously as their can
didate for Congress in this, the Ashland
district.
At the same time l have received the
copy of resolutions passed, which accom-
panied your letter. / have read them,
and they meet with my cordial approval.
accept, gentlemen, the nomination
rendered me under circumstances so gra-
tifying, in the frank spirit it is offered.
Aware of my own feebleness to uphold,
as it should be upheld, the standard Of
nationality, of civil and religious liberty,
of devotion to the Constitution and the
laws of the country, / could have wished
that some one more able and worthy
might have been selected Relying up
on the justice of my course, and the
pledge you have communicated, to stand
by me in the good fight, with one
voice, one will, and one heart" promise
you that nothing on my part shall be
wanting to secure success. And so en-
tering the canvass, | express to you my
entire and thorough conviction that we
must and will succeed.
| am, gentlemen, with great regard,
your obcdient servant,
JAMES B. CLAY.

THE LATEST INTELLIGENCE FROM UTAH.
From the statements of a government
official who arrived in Washington City
on Monday last, direct from Salt Lake
City, and from other sources, the Wash
ington Union makes the following sum-
mary of the condition of affairs in Utah,
at the last accounts:
i. That inc Mormon legion Is COM
posed Of some five or six thousand indif-
fercntly-armed men, including few
squadrons of cavalry about as well
drilled and as effective as the ordinary
militia of the States.
2. That the Mormons ridicule the
idea of the Federal Government sending
an armed force to the Territory to exc
cute the laws.
B. That Brigham Young's commands,
as the head of the church, are omnipo-
tent with all good Mormons, and hence
the resistance to the United States laws
a. That the presence of one thousand
United States Troops in the Territory
would secure obedience to the laws, and
that no resistance would be made by the
Mormons to SO large force.
s. That il is undoubtedly true that
there is serious detection among the
Mormons, and that if the disaffected
could be protected by the United States
authorities they would gladly sever their
connection with the church and its head
6. That Salt Lake City bears the out
ward evidences of Mormon oppression,
and that business of all kinds is literally
at a stand-still." Many who desire to
leave for the States esaas 4 *; for IL tie
want of means.
7. That not more than fifty "Gentiles"
were in the Territory, and although it
was forbidden that they should be sup
piled with the neccssaries of life, they
we're enabled to procure provisions thro'
the cupidity of some Of the less scrupu-
lous of the saints
s. That Brigham Young admitted
that he could, by word, have prevent
ed his followers from violating the laws
of the United States, but that he did not
choose to interfere, and would not inter-
fere.
