Be tides the evidence he had read, there was oth er testimony hearing on the same point. In feeling and eloquent tonm he referred to the heavy weight of tbat charge against his father, and how gallantly and bravely ha hd borne it Thank Clod it died bsforc his father? and now; hc was proud to say, that there lived uot the man who would whisper it.

Though the third speech erer made by Mr Claj-, and the first ever -deli v tred in'th' open air, it was very impressive, loth in manner and matter. With some of the' tones and actions of his "father, Mr. Clay possesses, clear, concise diction, much logical fore: and a manly style. He declared ha wa3 not an orator, and appeared somewhat oppressed and restrained by the apprehension that too much might be expected f om tho sou of Henry Clay. His speech, however carried conviction to every mind of hid hones ty, manliness and patriotism. Webster V3. Sumner. Once upon a time" one Dauiel Webster thfc uam stirs one's blood had a controversy with Mr. Hayne, of South Carolina. The latter loved h"i3 good old Palmetto State, and he spoke of her with pride and glowing elo quence. And presently Webster replied, and what did he say? Did he revile her name epuru her reputation abuse her chivalry denounce her institutions ridicule her states men or fling a reproach against her for any thing, even with the ingenious hand of the rhetorician? No. His voico was musical with rniise. He emulated even the son of the South in doing honor to her. lie spoke an "American, and claimed his share of the glorious, renown which South Carolina""has ou E5 a primal State ot tins union. LSut now, who is thereto emulate Daniel Webster ? Whose heart is capacious enough to comprise iho whole Union as one galaxy of States, slikc worthy of love, and care, and koaor? Some few vet remain, but the clamor of fanat icism and the violence of passion almost over whelm the voices of patriotism. At such a time we can hardly do better service than to publish the remarks of Daniel Webster in re ply to the eulogium pronounced on the char acter of South Carolina by Mr. Hayne. They re worthy cot only of careful perusal, but of crlous consideration. "Let me observe that the eulogium pro nounced on the character of the State of South Carolina by the honorable gentleman, for her revolutionary and other merits, meets my hearty concurrence. I shall not acknowledge that the honorable gentleman goes before me in regard for whatever of distinguished talent, or distinguished character. South Carolina has produced. I claim part of the honor. I partake in the pride of her great names. I laiui them for my countrymen, one and all. The Laurctises, Rutledges, the Pinckncys, the Sumptcrs, the Marions Americans all, whose fame is no mere to be hemmed in by State lines than their talents and patriotism were capable of being circumscribed within the same narrow limits. In their day and ireneration they served and honored the coun try, and the whole couutry, and their renown is of the treasures of the whole country Him. whose honored came the gentleman himself bears, doo he suppose mi less capable of grat itude for his patriotism, for sympathy for his sufferings, than if his eyes had first opened upon the light in Massachusetts instead of South Carolina? Sir, does he suppose it in his power to exhibit a Carolina name so bright s to produce envy in my bosom ? No, -sir, increased gratification and delight rather Hr, I thank God that if I am gifted with lit tle of the spirit which is said to bo able to rtusa mortals to the skies, I have yet none, as I trust, of that other spirit, which would drag angels down. When I shall be found, sir, in my place here iu the Senate, "or elsewhere, to enoer at public merit because it happened to spring up Ivyond the limits of my own State or neighborhood ; when I refuse, for any such cause, or for any cau-sc, the homage due to American talent, to elevated patriotism, to kinccre devotbu to liberty and th i couutry; ur if I see an uncommon endowment of heaven - if I jioa extraordinary capacity and virtue in any son of the South, and if, moved by lo cal prejudice or gangrened by State jcalo'usy, I got up here to abate thn Ithis of a hairfroai his just character and fame, may my tongue cknvc to the roof of my mouth." "Sir, l?t me recur to pleading recollections -let m? indulge in refreshing remembrance of the fa: t let me remind you that in early times no States cherished greater harmony, both of principle end of feeling, than Massa chusetts an 1 onth Carolina. Would to God that, harmony might again return. Shoulder to s!iu! ler they went through the revolution --hnsd in hand they stood round the adminis tration cf Washington, and felt his own great rut lean ori tl.cm for support.

They are weeds, the seeds of which thut same great arm never scattered." IsTKRL'smi to Kailuoad Tuatelers. The following curious question of law, which bus b:v n under consideration by one of the New York courts for some time, and which presents some features of it:tcrest to travelers by raiiroaJ, has already been briefly men tioned : The Erhj llailrovl has been in the habit ..f charging au additional price for all tickets n;t purchased at the ticket' office. Several iicrsou: Ignorant of the rule tendered their pay to the conductor of tbejear as he passed along, and found themselves compelled to pay this usurious interest. . In June a Mr. Aus tin took his place iu one of the cars of the company without purchasing his ticket. The distance of his trip was three miles the price, ten cent. Whcu the conductor came to him he offered the tea cents, but was asked for an extra dime. I'indinz that this mode of trav- elin-r would become expensive ho refused to pay, and was shown the door. He brought an action to r "cover damages : judgment was rendered in h'a favor for $2;) and costs, the cf-urt deciding that the statue did not author ise the company to demand more than three -eui p'r mile, ami all that further charge was illegal .aud consequently that they "had no jignt to auk the im ia question."

It will be perceived that the chairman of the County Committee has issued a notice for the del egates to the late County Convention to re-asr-cm- ble in this place on the 2ilrd iust., to nominate a 1 candidate for Prothonotary, which uflicc has be-! came vacant by the sudden death of Miltcn Rob erts Esq. We hope that the d legates will all endeavor to attend, as the office to be filled is not only an im portant one to the people, but it is desirable that all the districts should have a voice ii' the selec tion of the candidate. The ticket already "formed is one of the strongest ever presented to the De mocracy of the county, and it only now remains to till the vacancy which bus happened by the nomination of a good and competent person many of whom wc have in our ranks, and the success of the whole ticket is sure by an overwhelming majority. The Nomination of Mr. Rowe. Tho proceedings of the Democratic State Con vention held on Wednesday the Cth inst., at Cliambcrburg, will be found in full in another col umn. The nomination of llr. Rowe was re ceived with enthusiasm by the vast assemblage who were present to witness the proceedings of the convention. Resolutions were unanimously adopted sustaining tho principles of the Dcmo cratic party, and the nominees of the Cincinnati Convention. Zy The Know-Nothings hold their primary elections t- day for the purpose of electing dele gates to meet iu County Convention ou the 18th inst., to nominate a county ticket, and to elect Congressional, Senatorial and ltepresentative con ferees. Wc understand that x-Senator FAicard D. Fcanx, of this plaeo is a candidate for the legislature. Wo hope Iklward will have a good time of it at Ilarrisburg, next winter. It will be seen by referring to our adverti sing cdnmus that the dancing fever is on the in crease in the Tillage of Jefl'crw n. Mr. James D. Hamilton of the Cambria House proposes to give a Cotillion Party on Tuesday evining loth inst., and Mr. Joli-v M'Coy will give one on Tuesday evening the 20th, at lhi Jeffcraon Hous.

" This has alwnj-s been a whig State, but last year was cariied by the Know-Nothings. . In the late contest there was no election either for Gov ernor or members of Congress, and consequently party lines were not strictly drawn. The elec tion has been close, but so immense has been the democratic gain, that the opposition papers have abandoned all hope of defeating Buchanan and Breckinridge iu November. ' IOWA. This State as was anticipated has gone fur the Black Ivepublicansshe has been back-sliding for the last three years and for that reason wc do not count on her vote at the November election. NOPvTII CAROLINA. The Fillmore men have always claimed this State as certain for their cardidate. The election held on the 7tli inst., shows that Bragg the dem ocratic candidate has been le-tlectcd Governor by a1out 000 majority, and that both branches of the Legislature are stronglj- democratic no more evidence need be required to show that her vote is safe for Buchanan. ARKANSAS. We have but few returns from this State, but it is conceded on all hands that the present. Gov ernor Conway, Democrat, has been re elected by a large majority. The Fillmore men do not claim it, and as for the Woolly Horse candidate, Fre mont, he will not receive five votes in the whole State. - TEXAS. This State held her election for state officers on the 4th inst. As yet we have seen no returns. We have no doubt, notwithstanding tho treason of Sam Jfou&ton, that she will be found true to the democratic party, the constitution and the Union. An Important Movement. We observe that Senator Bigler from this State has introduced into the United States Senate, a resolution, calling on the President for copies of coj John V. Fremont? s accounts and vouchers, for monies alledged to have been expended by him in California, while he held a military position in that country. The papers which the President will communicate to the Senate, from the crucial records at Washington, are looked for with much anxiety. It will be a full exposition of Fremonis cattle and horse speculations while in that coun try, through means of which he attempted to de frp.ud the Goverument'out of an immense sum of money. If the papers and documents referred to sustain the charge which has been made against Col. Fremont, which nothing more nor less than xwinoling, and while his friends have not yet de nied he is totally unworthy the support of evcry honest man. A Word to Old Line Y'higs. ' The Abolition movement is clearly uncon stitutional, and dangerous to the peace and happiness of the Union: As long as I live, I will never sanction the efforts of these men to create sectional parties, and array one por tion of the Union against the other."-DAMEL Weustku. " I have always been a Whig, brt if the Whig party degenerates into a contemptible Abolition party, I will no longer be Whig-" Henry Clay "I will join myself to no party that docs not carry the Flag, and keep step to the Music of the Union." Kelts Choatk, Here, Old Line Whigs, you have what i three great leaders of the Whiz party, as it cx'stcc in its palmiest days, thought of the Hlaek republicans Such, says the Luzerne Union, is the language of patriots who foun ded the Whig party, who labored for its suc cess, and who loved it with all the fervor of their great souls. Yet they loved their coun try more, and when they saw that their party was in danger of being corrupted by Aboli tiouism, they rose alove its trammels, and stood by the Constitution, which it was abandoning. And such is precisely the position of thous ands of gallaut old Whigs, North and South, at the present titn. How can any Whig vote for the candidate of a con temptible Abol ition faction," : .. Speech of James B. Clay. Wc publish this week the able speech recently delivered by Jus. B. Clay, son cf the lamented Henry Clay, at the Union meeting htld atilaysvi'Ie Kentucky. We hope that all will give the speech a caitful peru sal, and we commend it to the attention of those old line whigs who hesitate to support Mr. Bu chanan under the impression that he did Mr. Clay injustice in the bargain and sale charge. Mr. C-laj' shows that his father entirely exonerated Mr. Bu chanan of the charge so often made, and still per sisted in by many of the opposition papers; and he hesitates not to believe his father in preference to otheri who hesitate not to invade the sanctity of the tomb in search of weapons to strike down political opponent. CO- With the certainty of James Buchanan's election staring them in the face, some of the lea ders of Black Republicanism in this place, have become perfectly reckless and openly assert, that they would rather live under the government of Queen Victoria, than under a democratic adminis tration in this country. We advise all such fero cious gentlemen to engage passage in one of the steamships that will sail Wore the 4 th day of No vember next. Their Kxodus from this country will emphatically illustrate the old saying. "They left ' their country for their country's good."

' -'"' - Blair County. - - For the last two weeks the Court has been in session in this county, and almost the whole time occupied with criminal business. From the following account which we take from the Hollidaysburg papers, crime must certainly be upon the increase in that county. There were six criminals tried, convicted, and sen tenced to the "Western Penitentiary three whites, and three blacks to serve in the ag gregate ttcenh-nine years; viz " - ' ' - James D. Davis, for tho murder of James II. J ohnston, in thi- place on the 9i h of June, by shooting him down in his own door, to pay a fine of$l and undergo solitary coufiinement at hard labor in the ; Western Penitentiary of our State, for. the term of ten years ; to be clothed and fed &c. as the law directs. C Mason Hocker, for the murder of Frank lin Davis, in Williamsburg, on the th ,of J une, by stabbing him on ' the street, to pay a fine of 01 and undergo alike confinement at like service, for the term of ten years ; to be clothed &c. Finney, for tho larceny of bags &a. was sent to the Penitentiary for the term of two years. James Snowden, (colored,) for the larceny of Mr. L Gr Learner's watch was sent to the same place, for the term of one year. Alex. Murphy, (colored,) for th larceny of a fiddle nnd pair of boots from .George Washington Madison, (colored.) for a wed ding occasion, was 6ent to the same place for the term of one year. f Joshua Dennis, for assault and battery on the person of Samuel Richardson, with intent to murder or kill, in Altoonaon the 17th Ju ly. The parties are colored men, and barbers, and Dft. seems to have been a very bad fel low, for he swore he would " cut a d d nigger's throat his head clear off," and pro curing a razor made a most desperate and well directed blow to that end, but fortunately struck the jaw-bone and 50 was saved from murder. He was found guilty, and senten ced to undergo imprisonment in the Western Penitentiaiy for the term of four years. They were all taken by Shff Port to the Penitentiary on Monday last, and their depar ture is thus noticed by the Standard. "Departure of tue Convicts. The con- yicts sentenced to the Penitentiary took their departure for Allegheny city in the cars on xtj r i u i t r Monday, Quite a crowd collected at the De pot to see them off; or, probably to get r. glimpse of them. When the wagon contain ing the six prisoners drove up, it was soon surrounded, and it was with much difficulty that Sheriff Port could keep tho passage to the cars cleared. All of the convicts were in irons, still none of them appeared to take it very hard Hocker, Davis, and one of the darkies were unconcernedly smoking scgars pretty conclusive evidence that they could not realize the fate that awaited them.

At this moment, when some of our best cit- zens who have been Whigs, are denounced because they will not join tho Black Republi can ranks, or lose their indentity in tho Know Nothing dens, the following letter from Henry Clay, which we cut out of aa old paper, is most apposite. It will be eeeu that it is nearly sixteen ycjrs eld. It points - out, brieSy and clearly, the baneful tendencies of Black Re publicanism its cruelty, its ingratitude, its falsehood, its hostility tothc constitution, its hostility to labor, its injurious consequences upon the Irish and German cirizens, when the blacks are sel free, to become their rivals, &c. What national Whig would hesitate a moment in the face of such au appeal to take arms against a party so witheringly denounced by this great and immortal leader! And what would be the feeling of Henry (Jlay if he were living now, and saw Black Republieau isin making au open issue against the Union Indeed, he prophecies the present fearful state of things when he calls upon Mr. Colton to show that the agitation of the question ia the free States, "will first destroy all harmony and finally lead to dissolution!" , Are we not already on the brink of those fearful conse quences? The letter was addressed by Mr Clay to Rev Walter Colton: - ' . Ashland, Sept. 2, 1343. My Dear Fir: "Allow me to suggest a sub ject for one of j our tracts, which, treated in your popular and condensed way,"I think would be attended with great and good cfiect. I mean Abolition. It is manifest that the ultras of that party are extremely mischievous, and are hurrying on the country to fearful cousequcnces They are not to bo conciliated by the Whigs Engrossed with a single idea, they care for , nothing else. They wonld see the administration of the government precipitate the nation into absoltue ruin, before they would lend ahelpiug hand to arrest its career. They treat worst, ; and denounce most, those who treat them best, who so far agree with them as to admit slavery to be an evil. Witness their conduct towards- Mr. Brlgas and Mr. Adams, in Massachuetts, and towards m. - ' - . -- : . ' ; I will give youlrn outline of the manner in which I would haodle it. Show the origin of slavery. Trace its introduction to the Brit ish Governient Show how it is disposed of by the Federal Constitution. That it is left exclusively to the States, except in regard to fugitives, direct taxes and representation. Show that the agitation of the question in the free States will first destroy all harmony, and finally lead to disunion perpetual war the extinction of the African race ultimate mili tary despotism. But the great aim and ob ject -of 3-oar tract should be, to arouse the laboring classes in the free States against Abolition.. Depict the consequences to them of immediate Abolition. Tho slaves, being free, would be dispersed throughout the Uniou; they would enter into competition with the free laborer ; with the American, the Irish, Jerman; reducn his wages, be confoun ded with him, and affect his moral and social standing. And as tho ultras go both for Abolition aud amalgamation, show that their object is to unite iu marriage the laboring white man and the laboring black woman, to reduce the white laboring man to the des pised and degraded condition of the black man. I would show their opposition to Coloniza tion. Show its humane, religious and patriotic aim. Tbat they are to separate those whom God has separated. Why do the Abolition ists oppose Colonization ? - l o keep and amal- gatc together the two races, in violatiou of God s will aud to keep the Blacks here, that they may interfere with, degrade and debnso the laboring whites. Show that the British Government is co-operating with the Abolit ionists, for the- purpose 'of dissolving the Union, &c. You can make a powerful article, that will be felt in every extremity of the Union. I am perfectly satijfied it will do great good Let me hear from you on this subject. HENRY CLAY.
