Beware.


The Richmond "Whig' of the 2Stl has the
following:
RALLY TO TIE CLuB-llorsE To-MoRRow.
All tho young men, and others, who desire to
aid in the erection of the Clubhouse, will
meet on the ground tomorrow, wednesday, }
and an opportunity will then be afforded them
TO contribute their might in behalf Of the glo-
rious work. The carpenters will be ready for
you tomorrow, and so, rally in great numbers,
and show the world that you can turn your
hands to anything, if you choose"
In lS44 similar Clubhouse, called log
cabin, was undertaken, we arc informed, upon
the site of the present Clubhouse. 1t was
reared by young men rs unskied in mechanics
as they were in politics, and it fell, causing
death TO some, and injury to many others, just
as the defeat Of the party in the fall OF that
year brought political death to many connected
Herewith.
The political joiners that have pat together
the Bell and Everett platform have proved their
utter nnitness for the work; and il they have
had any hand in planning this Clubhouse, we
would warn the people to beware how they
entrs; their persons within its rickety pre-
cinct<, or else Richmond will be the scene oi
an unhappy funeral instead OF joyous frolic
We would advise our political opponents to
hold their mass convention out Of doors, stand
on terra ,Tirma, be not as careless Of your lives
as you have been Of your political principles !;
Virginia has need Of your persons, though she
is, from her overwhelming Democratic majority,
careless and Indifferent as to your political pros
poets But if regardless of our advice you are
determined 10 enter the mash-trap, spare the
people, and set your dead:taN only for your
politicians. 1t is but right that the builders
of this worm. eaten, rotten platform, should us
stirme all the risk, and that the lives Of deluded
people should be spared. If 1000 people are
fool.hardy enough TO risk themselves Ill the
Clubhouse, we fear the Undertakers of our city
will Ito L brisk business that week.
Come out on terra ,H'7aa-stand true to the
land Of your birth abandon Bell and Everett
and the Club-lo,,sr-und rally on the platform
Of the Union under Breckenridge and Lane
That platform is broad enough Tor the whole
country, and strong enough to support the
weight of all the States and all the people,
Stand from un.lcr the Clubhouse.
