Those- who , have watched the prog tiostications7 of ifie opening campaign, have done it to little purpose if they have not discovered loth/bitable evidence of a ' disposition on the part of the followers of that reckless politician, “Harry 'of the West," to again insult the common sir_v3 and shock the feelings of propriety and: 'decency of the' ober and i igent 'por tion of our commuki , a repetition of those diagraceArsceneiiwhich eharae teriied„ the , shard,cider"l campaign, of 1810. Yes! this is to be the case,'and if any have laid the flattering unction'to their. heart that principle should be array ed against . principle, and the coming con 7 test fought orr rational grounds, they are doomed to asad disappointment. Al- ready the paraphernalia Ofcoonery are prepared, log cabins are reared by those -who despise the occupants of these hum= ble habitations of the - poor but honest laboring than, who is now taxed by them to build up `a monied, purse-proud,„ and` arrogantaristocracy, and 'even the pilfering denizen of the fairest, that "same old coon" is made to re-enact his pin in a similitude to the transactions pEIB4O. The revelries that made night hideous at that time, are to find a counterpart at the present time, and those same scenes of dissipation and immorality in be , re enacted to convince the free people of this republic - that Henry Clay is the most suitable candidate for the first of-. five in their gift. And . this a people too, distinguished for their intelligence and sobriety, for their patriotism and for the_ unerring efficiency and justice of their deelarstioniolade at the ballot box. At the south, the,campaign is opened in earnest.. lenry Clay is pereambpla tins that portion of the country, and, en deavoring by his presence to instil into the breasts of his'followers a po'rtion of that enthusiasm and, recklefisness which distinguished the last Presidential eke. > tion.. He is assisted an his work, by the notorious "and' infamous Bear; .com monly known by the appellation of the 6 , Buckeye Blacksmith." ~ This is a fit person to ciolbe work• which Mr.-Clay himself would not stoop - to do. Uniting in his person and habits the leading char- Iteteresties of that animal whose name he disgraces, his language is' composed of .biacliguardisal and scrtlity an equal for which we look in vain to the vocribu lary of !

The suc cess of tilt democracy in that city, offers a merited rebuke to these illustrious char acters, and speakil loudly in praise ot i the intelligence and indomitable resohition of the democratic party. We do not be-. live that appeals to the passions_of men, are calculated to slevate the dignity of our Henryovernment, neither • do'we believe that n Clay is to to caught up by: the whirlwind of enthnsiam and-placed withr out reflection into the - Presidential chair.

WusroT %. The position assumed by‘bis leadi9g county (speaking of Bradford) of the Noith had a powerful and Controlling influence with the Democracy ofihe State ; and ultimately led to the victory which was achieved in the 4th Of . March Convention. It would be unjust to that democratic section of the State,-and especially. to Bradford county„not to acknowledge the services rendered by - ii - -delegate in that convention, DAVID WILMOT, Esq,; to the cause of Democ racy. The instructions which he had received to support VAN &non and Johnson were redeemed with an ability and fearless independence seldom sur passed. Mr. Wilmot was the strong champion of Van Bureaupr the floor of that Convention, end the insidious efforts which had been made to prostrate thii distinguished Patriot and States mr, were met.,by him and resisted with .that success Which is evidence of his ability to serve his constituents and the Republican party of the State:— There were many' more gentlenien of distinguished talents and high charac-• ter as debaters,in that body, and nobly did they acquit themselves in the per f?rmance of their duty, but when the resolutioii offered by Mr. WOOD of Allegheny, 'declaring Van Buren and Johnson to be -the choice of Pennsyl vanowthe delegate from. Bradford took the floor, and advocated the resolutions in-a speech of such thrilling effect aa-to be remembered with pride and pleasure. The vote which immediately followed is the' evidenclis we offer to Mr. Wil mot's constituents, of his power and abilities as" a public debater, as up to that period the enemies of- Democracy had piofessed lobe entirely confident of the defeat of Mr. Van Buren in Penn oylvania, by oendini f tlegoteo to the National Convention uninstructed." A Maui or. SETTERING.—The Co.„ lumbia_ Enquirer, relates an adventur e . which happened to:Dr. T. A R.
