the Delegate elections should be given and the polls

The approaching electioi is one of vast impor

Commonwealth. • The election of Governor, is of
suilleivnt importance to call forth all the activity and
deceitful artifices of the federal party ; and for the
purpose of counteracting that activity. and detecting
and exposing those deceptions, it becomes every

The Standing Committee, therefore, recommend
the appointment by the democratic citizens, at their
Several 'd - elegate elections, or one or more persons,
in each -School district, as a committee, to continue
till-the general election, and whose duties will be to
ram a more perfect organization, and advance the

This trip looks as if Mr. Clay was fearful of be

When the news of this reached Washington, the

Since then, the Federal Whig party have taken
sides with Mexico; they cal the war unjust un

that it was a falsehood to declare that "it existed
by the act of Mexico."
They,have given to Mexico al! the It aid and

Mani 01 Itazurax.—This wretched
man, whose murder of Van Nest family, in Coma
county, about a year age, excited an =mad feeling
of horror, died in the county jail at Auburn on Satur
day morning last.• It will be remembered thata,ree
man was convicted of the murders and that a new
bial was obtained.
The Auburn Daily Advertiser of Saturday morn
lag says :
" He has been in a most miserable condition for
some weeks past, and all who have seen him within
that time have 'become satisfied that whatever he
may have been when he comtnited the horrid act
for which be has been so long imprisoned, he )tad
become a perfect idiot. All were aware, too, that
he was gradually but surely approaching his end, a
result which none can regret and dimly will be glad
to hear. A telegraphic despatch wee sent to Dr.
Brigham, of Utica advising him of the fact, and on
Saturday eveding he visited Auburn and held a
post mortem examination upon the body the result
of which we !hall probably give hereafter.
HuntoPuosta.--A numpby the name of Edward l i

when he was violently attacked and had 52 parox

alarming character. He was bled freeely hnd so
reduced as to stop the convulsions, and is now com
paratively easy, with prospects of a recovery.--

calculated to mislead the weak minded as to the
