The Deed Used to Bolster up the Living.
In Philadelphia and other places the
friends of Henry Clay, held meetings
on the 12th inst., for the professed pur
pose of celebrating his birth day; but
in connection with such proceedings, or
at their close, represented the demon
strations 'as the sentiments of those op-
posed to President Buchanan and his
administration. In Philadelphia this
alms of gasping politicians went so far
as to announce that the purpose of their
meeting was to unite the opponents of
the administration and to establish a
National party.
If this is not using the dead to bolster
ap the living, then we would like to
know what it is doing. It is an at
tempt to make capital out of the fame
of the lamented Clay for the bpnefit of
the Republican party. In other words,
it is hobby-horsing the ghost of a great
man for the political second birth of
defunct office hunters. It is Ilycnaish
on their part, and their new proposed
National party should be called the
"Grave Yard" party. This is worse
than holding Fremont meetings on the
4th of July, pursuant to a call for a
celebration in honor of the birthday of
oar Independence. It. is not only mean
and contemptible in the extreme, but it,
is false in tact, and at variance with
the last great acts of Henry Clay. It
is contrary to the sentiments of his
family, who zealously supported James
Buchanan for the Presidency; and of
fensive to Hon. James B. Clay, his son,
now a member of Congress, and one of
the most eloquent and faithful defen
ders of the administration.—lionesdale

Negro Votes in MUM&
1 observe that the " Black Demo
crats," headed by Greeley, Douglas it
Co., have adopted popular sovereignty
to its fullest extent in Kansas, by giv
ing negroes tke tight of suffrage,—or
the right to vote on the adoption of the
Constitetion. Now,
I have been a
Freo State man all along ; - I was dis
posed to favor the movement of-Forney
do Co., so far as to return the Lecomp
ton Constitution to a vote of the people;
but to have that constituuon destroyed
or voted down by a anion of piebald ne
groes is rather more than I am dispos
ed to bargain for.—My motto is, that
if the white free-soile.rs of Kansas are
not able to adopt a constitution, and
frame laws for the government übd
protection of the Territory, without the
aid of negroes, they had better fall
back, and let others take the Lead. It
is mortifying that a party claiming
largely the majority should, [ltd it abso
lutely necessary to:same:4, that they
should beg the support of negroea to
help them. Q-
African Aristocracy.
In one of his letters from Mobile.
Parson Brownlow says:
"At three o'clock I attended, with
the Bishop at the newly erected African
church, and heard him preach to them
an appropriate and effective sermon.
There are several colored congregations
in this city, but this is the colored ariJ
locratic church, with a membership
of seven hundred and fifty, and an able
and excellent preacher, appointed to
serve them by the Alabama Conference.
The House is of brick,•about eighty by
sixty, with immense galleries—plain,
Lint substantial in its finish. It cost
17,000, 86,000 of w hich was paid by
the negroes, and all slaves at that ! it
soots one thousand two hundred per
sons, but on this occasion there were
.one thousand five hundred crowded in
to it. While I was reclining on a sofa
in the pulpit, behind the Bishop, I was
amazed in looking over the vast sea of
beads, and the upturned faces of the
well dressed and orderly congregation,
who, with their hymn books in baud,
sung most delightfully. They politely
surrendered a few of their front seats
to many ladies and gentlemen, mostly
their owners, and citizens of the first
character, who attended church, and
they crowded into the galleries."

Elastic) Cement Roofing.
THE subscriber is prepared to contract and
put oa at the shortest notice, W. E. Child
& Co's. Palette Fire and Wilder Proof Mast ic
Cement Roofing.
It is perfect!, Fire and Water proof, sod
in paint of durability is equal, if notsuperior,
to any Metalio Roofing. It can be put on
over tin, tar. iron, or shingle roofs, however
fiat or steep they may be.
In point of resisting the elements of fire
and water, nothing has yet been discovered
equal so the Mame Cement.
Those who have need it, have testified that
it is the very perfection of Roofing. and that
there is no further room for improvement.—
No one will now think of putting on shingles,
when this Cement can'be had for much less
money and will outwear four shingle roofs.
This - Roofing is warranted as represented.
The Elastic Cement is the cheap es t and
beat protection from decay for wood exposed
to the weather or dampness of the ground.
It is also . the best paint for iron, effectually
preventing rust; and wherever applied per
fectly excludes dampness.
The subscriber has this Cement for sale, in
quantities to snit. Fur further information,
apply to GEORGE A. COLE,
- Frederick City, Md.
