Such a principle, put in to practical operation, would menace the existence, if it did notcertainly sow the seeds of a dissolution in the Union." The obvious meaning of this text is, that Mr Clay----- was unwilling to strengthen the slave power by taking B eamicratic Association of Pine Township. in Texas. Ile thought it would menace the existence A meeting of the Association was called on There of"the Union !" So his advocates in the North inter- day, the 29th of August, at the house of Mr Peters, prated his meauing—se the Liberty men interpreted it, on the Butler Turnpike, II miles from Pitteburgh.— The Democrats turned out in numbers fur beyond the and so, beyond all questiou.

After hearing the testimony of one witness who said he saw the ptisiuner fire ague and the same time some one fell, the Court refused to take bail, and the defendant was remanded to answer the charge of murder.
