It is very desirable *it fall attendance be' given

the Delegate elections should be given and the polls
kept opts a sulkiest length- of time fb give all no

to llte County convention. to correctly represent the
sentiments of their constituents.
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
• Democrat to be on the alert—to assist in the refuta

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
great cane of democracy.

toibave special reference to the next Presidential
campaign, looking as much to his political as his
physical health. It is a long time since that distin

sent unbidden visit is doubtless prompted quite as
inch by the desire to rally his knees as to invigo
rate his constitution. That he has a strong, warm

his fine colloquial and social powers, and by an
occasional oracnlaropinion oo theatate of the coun

adhering to what are known as " Whig-principles,"

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

date. The avidity with which the Federal party

-pointing upon his fame as their " hobby " for the

At this time it could not have been known to the

In obedience to the orders of the Supreme Go

Palo. Alto and Reaaca de la Palma. •
When the news of this reached Washington, the
Congress of the United %tes t by a vote of 173 to

ed that " //Avast oaks Republic of a tear et-

" to prosecute the war to a speedy, asoccessful ter

Since then, the Federal Whig party have taken
sides with Mexico; they cal the war unjust un
righteous and God-abhored, on our part ; and insist
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

Third Municipality are more numerous than else

scourge is extensively and severely felt. The dis

free from danger. The number of deaths increases

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.

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.--
