OHIO HLKCTION. j At this present writing, (Thursday morning 11 o'-, clack,) although returni have Wen received from a number of counties, we are untiblo to pay with certainty what will be the complexion of the next limine. The probabilities are very strongly hi our favor, but a day or two will be necessary to place the question beyond doubt. The returns thus fur are unexpectedly favorable. At every point where the issues were fairly and boldly met, (save in Hamilton, where the Whigs only put out a ticket a few days before thu election and then did not half of them vote) a signal triumph has been achieved. Our information from all quarters confirms the position we have all along assumed, that the people of Ohio are in favor of a Homo Currency ; such an one as they received at the hands nf the late Legislature. If reverses have been sustained in any quarter, it is at those points where the Locofoco candidates refused to commit themselves fairly on the Hank question. We are disappointed at the result in Pickaway, but Dr. Olds refused to commit himself against the Bank bill and the Tax Law. This alono saved him, indefatigable as wen? his efforts. In Darke and Shelby and Highland, we have a reported gain of two members. In those counties the great contest was on the Currency, and the candidates of the Locos were hards, In Licking dissatisfaction with a corrupt clique nf count? officers aided us, but the current of public feeling in favor of a sound home currency kept Locus at home, called Whigs out and gave us the victory. It is an emphatic verdict against Locofocoism in all its phases; and is an achievement that eclipses all the victories thus fur gained by the Whigs of other sections of the MlaU, creditable as they are. The popular vote, thus far, is very greatly in our fa vor. Delaware rolls up 401) or 500; Marion, tine pectedly, gives a Whig majority; Montgomery givei an increase of more than one hundred over Presiden tial election ; Muskingum rolls up H00; Mheltiy gives a gain of 10 since Presidential election; Belmont gives a gain of more than one bund red ; Greene gives between 1 100 and liiOO to Whig Senator, being a large Whig gain. On the other hand, in Fairfield the Locofo ro majority is cut down from I UK) In U00; Butter is cut down from MOO to -10(1; Knox is cut down from 00 togiM); and, to crown the whole (thus far,) Lick ing changes a Locofoco majority of ',M0 to a W big majority nf between tiro and fuur hundred! ! I Whatever may be the result in the rest of the Mtate, these facts sjieak for themselves, and any to the whole country that OHIO 18 A WIIKI STATU! She takes her stand along sidu of Kentucky, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and those other Slates that are vn- j.l.TKKASI.Y WllKt ! The following was issued in a slip this morning. Returns have been received from several counties in a reliable form, and from several others we have reports that may be correct, but wc prefer waiting for the figures. FRANKLIN COUNTY Has elected the whole Whig ticket The majority on both Representatives is about 300. We have a Whig Auditor for the first time for six yean; a Whig Treasurer for the first time fin four yaw. That will do fur this time. CLARK COUNTY. The election of Gen. Mason, Whig, to the House is announced. LICKING COUNTY. Wo have cheering intelligence from this County. An extra from the Newark Gazette, fur which wc are indebted to two gentlemen from tint place, announces the election of the entire Whig Ticket for the first time. WitlmiT and Smith, the two Whig candidates for Representatives are elected by from 1M0 to 4(H) majority. This is so much clear gain since last year. The Whigs of Lickiiiir have covered themselves with glory. All honor tn their indomitable spirit. PICKAWAY Electa Dr. Olds, the Locofoco candidate for Repre sentative, bv a majority of 1H. This is a locofocn gain. DKLAWAUK. A letter from this County announces the election of the Whig ticket by an increased majority. MARION, According to information on thu way-bill has elected tho whole Whig ticket by a small majority. This is excellent. Delaware and Marion elect a Representative, Mr. Shaw, whig. ROSS. A letter from Chillicothe announces that Old Ross has rolled up a majority of about one thousand ! This secures tho Senator and Representative in Ross and Hocking beyond perad venture. FAIRFIELD Has elected the locofoco candidates as we hear hy a small majority, greatly ml tired since last election. MONTGOMERY, II is supposed, but we have not full raturns, has c-lected two Whig Representatives ami tho entire lick-et Confirmed. Maj. 3INI. DARKK AND HHKLBY. The way bill this evening, on the Cincinnati stage, brings intelligence endorsed at Xenia, that Shelby has given the Whig Representative JAW majority, securing bis election in the district of Darke and Shelby. A Whig gain. ' HIGHLAND. Wo have a rumor that Highland has elected a Whig Representative. If correct, this is a. gain. KNOX lias elected the Locofoco ticket by a reduced niljority MUSKINGUM. The Wing majority in old Muskingum is aboulHOO. A Senator and two Representatives. HKLMONT, The Whig majority is reported on the way-bill, between four and five hundred. Whole ticket elected. GUKKNSF.Y. The remrts are contradictory. There is but a small majority either way. II sgainst us it is a W lug loss. GIIKKNK. Iraket Whig, elected Representative over indepen dent HAMILTON. We hear, verbally, that Hamilton has elected the locofoco ticket by a majority of IHOO. WAUUKN; Tho whole Whig ticket elected by ft large majority, as we learn by ft slip rum the Star, not complete, MIAMI. A letter just received from Piqua, announces that the entire Whig Ticket has been elected by ft majori Ity of llvu or six hundred. them. Without, therefore, winding to siy anything t the disparagement of the present incumbents of the above named offices, wc say the Whigs of Franklin have done well, and that they have reason to congratulate each other that the foundation of a thorough Whig ascendancy bus been laid in Franklin. There was a very severe contest for Sheriff, and tho majority of Mr. Graham, Whig, is but small. It will, however, answer all purposes, and the close vote on ft portion of the county ticket will admonish us not to allow personal feelings to divert us from the support of our own men and measures. Wc must be true to ourselves, and know only the watchword nf the Whig camp on the day of contest, and all will be well from this time forward. It may le invidious to make comparisons, but the Whigs of the first ward of this city deserve tho thanks of their friends throughout the county. They havo increased their majority since the Presidential election, and rolled up a majority of more than one hundred for the Whig Representatives. The unchangeable second ward will soon fall behind, unless a new and stronger effort is made than on yesterday. In several townships the labors of our friends deserve especial notice ; but they ask no higher distinction than the conscious ness of having done their duty. Those who brought the returns of several townships in so promptly, on Tuesday evening, havo entitled themselves to the kind regards of all. A corresponding seal and fidelity on the part ofafewof our friends in other townships, would have placed us in possession of full returns before ten o'clock. We hope they will not forget it. Whigs of old Franklin, by the good name your country bears, we ask you to cherish the honors you havo won. Our county is " redeemed, regenerated and disenthralled," and the blotch is removed from our banner. Close up the line, and let us from this time show an undivided front. The following is the vote for the County candidates, official: Represrntatirrs.

Franklin County Redeemed t It may seem a little strange to the Wings of other sections of the State, to see such ft remark ill reference to Franklin as that which beads this article. They I have, perhaps, stiptosed that Franklin never elected any but Whigs. Hut they am mistaken. Franklin has had a Locofoco Auditor form year and a Locofoco Treasurer furour years. It is even so but let by-gone lie by-gone. The gallant Whigs of Franklin felt that this ought not so to lie, and they have verified our pred'n-tion, made at the time nf the nomination, hy the election of the entire Whig Ticket, thus redeeming the County completely. Our Board of County officers, after the new uicoiIhts shall have been sworn in, will be thoroughly Whig. On this result we have a right to congratulate our Franklin county Whigs. Tho struggle was a hard and a close one. The strength of personal attachment was in some in sUuces greater than regard for the Whig ticket, and many voted for the old Locofoco incumbents of two of the prominent county othces. Such we can forgive. They will not again, we think, be induced thus tn abandon their political friends for their opponents, Knough there were who determined to stand by their own friends to War them through triumphantly. Most heartily do they enjoy the result, and we have reason to hope that they will never regret it. Huthsor F.. Waintir, Uie newly elected Auditor, is in every respect worthy of the responsible post. He will be an acceptable officer. JotKrti Lrirv is as true a Whig as there is in Franklin, and of his ability to perform the duties of the otfiee of Treasurer, we have no question. Ilia responsibilities are great, but he is equal to A Word with our Head era and Friends. The battle is fought in Ohio and the victory won by friends or opponents, which, remains to be told. I loir it has been fought, and how wc have performed our duty, are questions we have no disposition to discuss just at this moment That we have done all that eouhl be done we may not say ; but that we have endeavored to perform our duty and to fight the battle fairly and openly on principles and measures not men we may say without arrogating more than our due. The laliors of the Journal and its contemporaries throughout the State have been exerted not tn inflame the passions, but to reach the judgments of thinking and considerate men of all parties. Grave and stubborn facts have been adduced to show that the Whig party of Ohio have fulfil led all their pledges and pursued a course calculated to promote the permanent prosperity and honor of the Stale. At the same time the acts and proceedings of their opponents, in and out of the Legislature, have been freely examined and fearlessly exposed, that all might decide fur themselves whether a Whig administration in Ohio is not preferable tonne of a d i ft' rent political character. If the considerations and facta presented were duly weighed and allowed to exert their proper in ll nonce, the result c mi not be doubtful. Wc say now, as we said before election, "a full vote is ft Whig victory." The result will attest the truth of the remark. Of that result, in detail, we may speak at the proper time, when , the fuels are fully before us. Wo ask only an impar tial verdict as to our labors. On more than one occasion we have said that tho State Journal docs not receive the amount of patronage it should, in order to render its labors effective. While we are thankful for what has been done, and for the assurances of confidence and approbation that have been tendered by friends in various sections of the Stati, and by our couicm'torarics of the Whig press, duty to uursrlves compels us to say that our subscription list is not adequate to the support of such a pajtcr as we have wished to furnish the Whigs of Ohio, and as the importance of the State, in the political scale, seems to demand. To make a paper efficient in all its dctartiiients, and to secure to its col umns that amount of labor necessary, requires a heavy outlay much heavier than is gem-rally supposed. 1 lie subscription hit, of itself, ought to bo sufficient to meet litis outlay. It is not now and has not be and if we had to depend on it alone, long since, even with the present oullay, we should have been compel led to call on our friends to put their shoulder to the wheel. Confidence in the good intentions of the Whigs nf Ohio, an abiding hope that they would ulti mately be induced to step forward and render ft liberal supjmrt to their central press, has impelled us forward and enabled us to keep our Hag aloft. We are not il posed to strike it yet, nor do we feel as though we could longer rest satisfied with any thing so unsub stantial as this hope, lis fruition will alono com pen sate us for our laWs. A large eer$ion, to our hA- script to list will alone enable us to do justice to our selves and the big of Ohio, in tho publication of the Journal. A united, hearty effort in every section of the Stale, would secure us a subscription list ad quate to the publication of u-ha paper as the Whigs of Ohio need. Shall such an effort be made t Not by one or two Whigs in each Congressional District, but hy the faithful and reliable Whigs of every coun ty. An addition of five thousand siihacrihers to the list of the Journal could Ih made, not only without detracting in the least from the circulation of the Coun try papers, but much to tln-ir advantage. There are few, very few suhacrilicra on our list, out of this eoiin-ty, Who do not tnke their own County papers. Nt man should lie without his owu Comity paper, and no efficient Whig will fail to derive advantage from having, in addition, the Central Whig journal. Those who have nude the trial are satisfied of this fact. Y how many Whigs there are in every county who have expected much of the State Journal, (much more, it may be, than they have ever real i led) who have scarce ly ever thought of such ft thing as sending in their names as subscribers. How limited Die number o those Whigs who have taken so much trouble say to ft neighbor or friend, "you should take the Whig paper ul the Capitol. Is this rihl? . Are tin Whigs of Ohio, the first State of the West, the third in the Union, in political iuiKirtnnce, utterly indiffer ent to the support of a Central journal, devoted to tho propagation of their sentiments It cannot be. They will not longer suffer the Journal to labor with meagre support. They will not, we trust, suffer iU usefulness tn 1m impaired, its energies to be paralyzed, by a limited circulation. An earnest of our desire to serve them faithfully and to furnish them with a paper that will not suffer by a companion with others in the West, is given to our friends to-day. We have secured a new and beautiful dress for the Journal. This has been done at ft heavy expense, and for the benefit of our readers. How we shall be coniMnsated for the effort in their behalf, we leave them to answer. Rut may we not ask, earnestly ask the gallant Whigs of Ohio with whom we have struggled, in victory and defeat, to lend us a gmtd tnrrd and a Unit lohor to extend the circulation of our paor f The labor thus given shall be returned to them in full measure. Wo await a res-Kinsc t A Letter from Mr. Chiipin. The Statesman of Monday copies from the London Times, (by request of Mr. Chapin, we suppose) a letter written on the Texas question y that gentleman, who is on a visit to Knglaud. Mr. Chapin, it is known, is Superintendent of the Asylum for the lllind, located in this city, by the authorities of tho State. It was given out by Mr. C. himself that he made the visit on account of his health and in order to enjoy the advantages of a view of the institutions for the blind in Knglaud. Now, it strikes us that he has stepped very much out of the line of duty, propriety nnd sound precedent, in writing the letter in question. If he cannot employ himself more properly, his speedy return home to the institution placed under his charge would be advisable. As he is not here to speak fur hi in He If, we shall not go into a discussion of his letter, in detail. Nor should we have felt inclined to utter a word on tho subject, if his statements had been accurate, or he hnd confined himself to a denial, in gen eral terms, of the charges of "rapacity," Ac. brought against the United States hy the London Times. He might, with jierfect truth, have retorted on the Times nil the hard things charged agninnt tho United States, but would that necessarily involve a justification of the course of the United States on the Texas question? We tli ink not. Nor can he hotie to defend the course of this Government on the Texas question by any tich special pleading. Great Rrituin is no guide for Her rapacity will not justify deliberate wrong mi the part of this government, for it is the pride and boast of our government that it respect tho rights of all, and desires to keep its faith inviolate. Mr. Chapin would not have ventured to appear ns a champion of party nt home, and he cannot assume that position abroad, however specious the disguise, without laving limself opeu to censure. It is not his business, nor is his duly to defend us against the imputations of the British press, however gross and absurd- We can sur vive those attacks, though repeated every day and as foul as falsehood can make them. Mr. C. asserts in his letter that it was Ihe establish ment of a military despotism in Texan that induced the people of that province to revolt. Not so do wc read the history of the uprising in Texas, It was in de. nee of their system of shire holding that that peo ple revolted. The Mexican Government abolished Slavery and Texas refused to comply with tho re. quircmcnts of the law. As the only way of escape from it, they declared their independence of Mexico. Mexico has been for half a century as much a milita- despotism, as it was when Texas revolted. Mr. ('lay did not regard annexation as a " probable thing." He opposed it, unconditionally, on the terms proposed ; mid regarded those terms as involving a breach of honor and good fuith towards Mexico, and as hostile to mud policy. Nor did Mr. Van llureii think the constitutional or legal bearing of the question re- piired mature consideration." He had no doubts a to the constitutional itu of the measure, but opposed it as if doubtful cxtedieucy, and involving a breach of ill. Mr. Chapin, in conclusion, says of our Gov rnoient: They have no designs on California, as charged, nor is it their interest or their wish to enlarge their present rritory. nor is it believed by sober men on the oth- r side of the Atlantic, that oiincxatioii would have occurred but for jealousy of the interference of for- 115 n powers in llu altairs nt lexas, and the apparent probability tint she would liecouie dependent, com- lerciailv, upon (treat Jiritnin or r ranee, to the great injury of the United Stales. We deny the first assertion made above ; and the second is certainly incorrect, if the assertions of the leading Lwofoco papers are worth any thing. And, we can a.nure Mr. C. that it is the opinion of " soImt men " of this country, that the idea of foreign interference had very little tn do with the scheme of ail- iiexatiou, t-it her in its inception or cnmuiuiinntinn. If he were here we should call on h'tii for something to sulmtantiate these assertions. As it is we can only say that he his been guilty of great impropriety in attempting the discussion of this question. Georfriu J'leetion Returns from nearly thirty counties of Georgia have been received. According to the National I nielli-gencer there is a Whig gain on the Governor's vote, since the rres'ilelitlal flroti-m, nf l...tit n tk-tunnA. The same ratio of gain throughout will give lis the Stale. The legislature, thus far, is Whig by a major ity of more than two to one j but there is not eimugli to decide its complexion. dXTho Statesman charges the Locofocos of this County with defeating themselves, and their candi dates with conducting themselves in anything but a proper manner towards each other. They can plead guilty or otherwise, just as they please, but some of them will perhaps, think it is bad enough tn be defeat- without being reproached afterwards. Our own impression is that they used all the means in their power, foul as well as fair, to gain a victory ; yet they owe it In the very generous disposition of the Whigs that they were not worse beaten. Tint Wanna or Fw toky Opkkativks. The Lo- well Patriot, a Locofoco paper, corrects a false state ment that has again and again appeared in the Ioeo- ico papers of the West. The charge has Wen made that the Manufacturers of Lowell, Massaehusrta, have reduced the wages of their operatives. The denials of Whig papers, repeated as they have been, have not a- vailed to silence this fnlschood. We have now the ocofoco authority alnive mentioned for saying that the wages hive not men reduced since 11 1. Urn the low tariff of 1H-1I there was a slight reduction, but then hiiabecn none since.

A friend from New Hampshire recently informed us of a singular fact, which we do not remember to have eeu noticed in any work on natural history. His res-idence is so deep in the country, that the Wars frequently mike a viiit to his pant ores, and help themselves to sheep. The noticeable facl is, that whenever a bear destroys a sheep, he striM the skin off, clean and whole, and after eating the carenss and picking the nones, wraps me laticr au up neatly in Uie skin, and leaves them. Stilem timette. trr Tho following letter from the gentleman whom Mr. E. (1. Harney is pleased to style tho 11 military " member of the Committee appointed to investigate into the affuirs of the Board of Public Workti, and against whom he has directed so much personal spleen, will show that he has most emphatically 41 waked up Uie wrong passenger." We claim a monopoly of the scurrility of such men, as nothing more than a fair equivalent for our Rharc of labor in, excising the knavery by which the State has been so shamefully plundered. For the Ohio State Journal, The "'military" member of the committee for investigating " the hooks, account and vouchers of the Hoard of Public Works and Canal Commissioners," has been referred to an article in the Statesman of the tAi inst, signed K. G. Harney, in which the writer complains of a publication made in the Ohio State Journal, sometime since, commenting upon the cost of constructing the Dam across the Miami river, at the mouth of Lorumic's creek, upon the Miami Canal Extension, and affects to regard ft man of 11 military renown " and a member of the investigating committee, as the author of the objectionable article referred to. As the colleagues nf the " military " member of the committee are not known to have served their country in any other than civil trusts, and moreover, have not been honored by a personal acquaintance with the late Resident Kiiifineer of tho Miami Canal Extension, it is but just to infer that they have escaped his personal animadversions in the particular matter complained of. Fussing by 11 llonaparte s system of battering down walls masked butteries " lie No. 1 " " items Nos. 1, 't and 4 " the fact that his brother-in-law is a " Whig," and various other matters that the writer for the Journal is referred to hy the late Resident Kn gineer, the "military " member of the committee will nave accomplished his simple purpose when he says that he neither wrote, dictated, advised, or was consulted about the publication in the Journal, which seems so greatly to have disturbed the usually unruffled temperament of the late Resident Engineer. He denies, also, having at any time entertained per sonal ill-feeling towards Mr. H., and regret now to leant that while lie has been tor years receiving tun common place courtesies due from one gentleman to another, at the Hands ot the late ttesiticiii engineer, there should have been lurking beneath this outward show ft feeling that enubh d him to characterize the writer as his "bitter personal enemy." Nut more sup-prised, is the writer, at the change in the spirit of the Engineer's dream as to his personal rclutions, since the appointment of the investigating committee, than he is to learn that he has ever been stopped on the way to "aggrandizement by the design or mtiuence oi a "masked battery" in the person of the lute Resident Engineer in charge of the Miami Canal Extension. Hut so, he supposes, from Mr. Harney's statement, it must have been. The "military " member of the committee, apprehends, that the personal relations that he sustains to the late Resident Engineer, has but little to do with the charge brought in the State Journal, and is led to fear that the article in the Statesman is a ruse to draw off the assault from the main point, to another " masked battery." The late Resident Engineer will allow the writer to suggest in addition that neither the personal and vulgar abuse of the committee or one of its members, or the getting behind a Whig Assistant Engineer, or a Whig brother-in-law, or the effort to enlist the sympathies of a political n-irtv. will belter his condition Imuld it be tumid that lie has taillilullv nnu honestly discharged the duties incumbent upon his office, or save him, on the other hand, from the ennsequences nt having unfaithfully and dishonestly uned his office for the benefit of himself or others, should such prove to have been the cose. The writer leaves the late Resident Engineer in the hands of the Journal, to settle the matter of the dam, for the present, as he may ; assuring him that no per sonal attack from oHan or " masked liatleiies" upon " llonaparte s system ot haltering down walls, or uy in lnc gun, will change his determination oi atuing iu the investigation with which the coimuitteo is charged, as fully as circumstances and time will per mit, no tar from desiring to exciurie any u-sitiuouy that may be important to the investigation, the committee rxpeet to avail themselves of the evidence of the late Resident Engineer in charge of the Miami (.'anal Extension, and at the proper time Mr. 11. may obtain not only the opinions of those he chooses to style his " hitler nersonal enemies," hut the testimony of warm political personal friends. And it may lie, for so it has before been, that he will have occasion to say, " Save me from my mends. Piquu,Oct 10th, IrM.i. 1).

The particulars, as near as we Have been able In gather them, an as follows: Three fiimi- lies of movers from Greenbrier county, a., had encamped on the road-side for the pursue of passing the night. About If o'clock two men on horseback stop ped m the rond and commenced blackguarding thetn. 1'wn young men left the encampment for the purpose of getting them away. Atcr having drawn them some dmtance from the encampment, the men on hoMchack dismounted and attacked the V irgmians with clubs. In the melee one of the young men was so badlv beaten that he died in the course of two or three hours. The other was very badly, though not dangerously hurt. I he men who commenced ihe affray, as soon as they had accomplished their object, mounted their horses and rode off, and havo not, as yet, been taken. The name of the young man killed we understand tn bit Joseph Mcl.ung. As may well he supposed this most outrageous affair has created greal excitement in Ihe neighlMirhimd. Two men, re-siilents of this county, one by the name of Hosier and the other hy the nsine ol Emith, who were engaged in the neighborhood making pumps, are suspected as Ihe perpetrators, and pursuit is being made in every direction for their apprehension.

Coltoji's life and Times of llrnry Clay is rapidly passing through the press, and the first volume will " w reauy ior delivery, i ne wide scope which tho nature of Uie subject will present, and the universal regard in which tho character and services of Mr. Ci.a v are held, have created a deep and general inter est in thu public mind in this forthcoming work. Wo have reason to believe that it will fully answer tho public expectation. The following pasage gives a very interesting and graphic sketch of one of tT.e very many able and eloquent speeches of Mr. Clav which have never been published : Among the lost speeches of Mr. Clay, the memory of which lives while they who heard them live, and the thought of which awakens to new life thc feeliugn they produced, was one delivered at Lexington, as lalo as May, 1h4;, thc occasion and history of which are an follow : After Mr. Clay had retired from the Senate of the United States, in lH4!i. till th n.i .l,,n.. ich time it was expected he would h ,n.,.m..o..i for President in 1K44, great efforts worn mndo in K..u. tucky, and throughout tho Union, hy his political opponents, not only to villify him, but to bring into odium the twenty-seventh Congress, which was the last in mien Mr. Clay Had had a seat as Senator, and tho ndeavors of which wero chiefly directed to nutnliliwh the policy and measures called for by the political revolution of 1840. Mr. Clay was virulently traduced by some base persons in Lexington and that neighbor- noou. ns a perpetual aroppmg wears a stone, so these incessant attacks, though false and foul, and known to be such, if unnoticed and unre pelted, might produce injurious effects on the common mind, lie therefore solved, and caused a notice to be nuhlished. that ho would meet his fellow-citixens of Favette and the ml- jotning counties, at Lexington, on a day specified, to reM-i um-m ciinrgi-B. his incntls, whom on this occasion he had not consulted, regretted the step as being unnecessary. They thought these attacks unworthy if notice. This difference of oninion was nainful to Mr. Clay, and no doubt contributed not a little to that depth and power of feeling which he manifested on that occasion. The notice brought together a ffreat concourse of people, whom no place but the public square couiu accommodate, i he patriarch statesman as to appear before his old friends and neighbors of forty years' standing, once more and for the last time. n Unit capacity in which he had not been heard for many years, and in which no one overexerted lo hear him again. And it was the vile tongue of calumny that was to lie encountered. The following account nf Uiis address was Airnished for the author hy a highly respected fellow-citizen of Mr. Clay, and the words of the opening, as quoted, am xact. When Mr. Clay rose, he was evidently much xcited. He commenced by saving, with marked em phasis4 Fellow citizens : j am now an old man quite an old man." Here he bent himself downward. " Hut t, it will be found, I am not too old to vindicate mv principles, to stand by my friends, or to defend my self " raising his voice louder and louder, at each successive member of Uie sentence, and elevating his person in a most impressive manner. He Uicn proceeded : It so happens that I have again located mvaelf in Ihe practice of my profession, in an office within a few rods of the one which 1 occupied, when, more than forty years ago, I first came among you, an orphan and a stranger, and your fathers took me by thc hand anu mane me what 1 am.

When ho uttered these last words, he raised himself to his most erect posture, and elevated his hands and arms, wide extended alMive his head, si-em ing to havo nearly doubled the height of his tall person. The effect was overwhelming indescribable. To have any approximate idea of the effect of this speech, which continued for hours, fully sustained throughout, in vindication of the twenty -seventh Congress, of Whig policy and principles, and in defence, it the orator himself, against his calumniators, one hould have a view of all the attributes of eloquence, iscnbed Ui Mr. Clay in this chapter, the use of scarcely me of which was wanting on that occasion. Nor should it lie forgotten, that he was then sixty-six years old. It may be asked, if any orator can be named in all history, who ever produced such an effect, in so few words, and those tlie mere exordium of his oration f 1 hey all knew that what he said was true. " 1 am an old man." Didn't they know Uiat And the moment he said it they began to weep. When he pointed to his present office, and the place of Uie old one, a few roils distant, they all knew that. I came here mors than forty years ago, an orphan and a stranger." They knew that. " Vour fathers took me by the hand anil made me what I am." It is impossible to conceive of the effect of this. They wept like children, and only wished they could do as much. Thev could at least stand by him. " 1 feel like an old stag." Now he is speaking to Kentucky hunters. Their ears are all erect for what is coming. And by the time he had gone through with thc figure, and its application, the struggle between the sympathy which streamed from thu yes of some, and the indignation which clenched the fists of others, of that vast multitude all knowing it was all true, every word of it was like the throes of a mountain in agony. A part of tho sublimity of tho spectacle consisted in a concern, what might he the fruit of such passion. For some of his defame rs were present. Hut when Mr. Clay rose in all the maiesty of bis own loftiness, threw his arms on high, and his voice out into the heavens he stood under its canopy and said, M scorn and defy them as I ever did, ' tney daHht a away Uieir tears, and resolved to lie as stout of heart as he, and to vindicate his honor. A re ply was expected. Hut prudence got Uie better of Uie purpose. Apple Trade.

Hy trimming and Uie application of the best manures, ho has Drought the iruit to unusual size and excellence. The apples are picked and packed in barrels without being rolled or jolted in carts, and so arrive in the ve ry best order for shipment. Last year they were sold in London at twenty-one dollars a barrel, and the merchant to whom they were consigned, wrote that Iho nobility and other people of great wealth had actually bought them by retail at a guinea a down j which la some forty-five cents sn apple. Mr. f ell has Irom three to four thousand barrels of the apples this year, whirh are sold as fast as they ar rive in inaraet, at six aoiiars s narrei, and are all shipped to England. It ts quite a business for one of our commission merchants to dispose of the produce of this noble plantation.

OHIO HLKCTION. j At this present writing, (Thursday morning 11 o'-, clack,) although returni have Wen received from a number of counties, we are untiblo to pay with certainty what will be the complexion of the next limine. The probabilities are very strongly hi our favor, but a day or two will be necessary to place the question beyond doubt. The returns thus fur are unexpectedly favorable. At every point where the issues were fairly and boldly met, (save in Hamilton, where the Whigs only put out a ticket a few days before thu election and then did not half of them vote) a signal triumph has been achieved. Our information from all quarters confirms the position we have all along assumed, that the people of Ohio are in favor of a Homo Currency ; such an one as they received at the hands nf the late Legislature. If reverses have been sustained in any quarter, it is at those points where the Locofoco candidates refused to commit themselves fairly on the Hank question. We are disappointed at the result in Pickaway, but Dr. Olds refused to commit himself against the Bank bill and the Tax Law. This alono saved him, indefatigable as wen? his efforts. In Darke and Shelby and Highland, we have a reported gain of two members. In those counties the great contest was on the Currency, and the candidates of the Locos were hards, In Licking dissatisfaction with a corrupt clique nf count? officers aided us, but the current of public feeling in favor of a sound home currency kept Locus at home, called Whigs out and gave us the victory. It is an emphatic verdict against Locofocoism in all its phases; and is an achievement that eclipses all the victories thus fur gained by the Whigs of other sections of the MlaU, creditable as they are. The popular vote, thus far, is very greatly in our fa vor. Delaware rolls up 401) or 500; Marion, tine pectedly, gives a Whig majority; Montgomery givei an increase of more than one hundred over Presiden tial election ; Muskingum rolls up H00; Mheltiy gives a gain of 10 since Presidential election; Belmont gives a gain of more than one bund red ; Greene gives between 1 100 and liiOO to Whig Senator, being a large Whig gain. On the other hand, in Fairfield the Locofo ro majority is cut down from I UK) In U00; Butter is cut down from MOO to -10(1; Knox is cut down from 00 togiM); and, to crown the whole (thus far,) Lick ing changes a Locofoco majority of ',M0 to a W big majority nf between tiro and fuur hundred! ! I Whatever may be the result in the rest of the Mtate, these facts sjieak for themselves, and any to the whole country that OHIO 18 A WIIKI STATU! She takes her stand along sidu of Kentucky, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and those other Slates that are vn- j.l.TKKASI.Y WllKt ! The following was issued in a slip this morning. Returns have been received from several counties in a reliable form, and from several others we have reports that may be correct, but wc prefer waiting for the figures. FRANKLIN COUNTY Has elected the whole Whig ticket The majority on both Representatives is about 300. We have a Whig Auditor for the first time for six yean; a Whig Treasurer for the first time fin four yaw. That will do fur this time. CLARK COUNTY. The election of Gen. Mason, Whig, to the House is announced. LICKING COUNTY. Wo have cheering intelligence from this County. An extra from the Newark Gazette, fur which wc are indebted to two gentlemen from tint place, announces the election of the entire Whig Ticket for the first time. WitlmiT and Smith, the two Whig candidates for Representatives are elected by from 1M0 to 4(H) majority. This is so much clear gain since last year. The Whigs of Lickiiiir have covered themselves with glory. All honor tn their indomitable spirit. PICKAWAY Electa Dr. Olds, the Locofoco candidate for Repre sentative, bv a majority of 1H. This is a locofocn gain. DKLAWAUK. A letter from this County announces the election of the Whig ticket by an increased majority. MARION, According to information on thu way-bill has elected tho whole Whig ticket by a small majority. This is excellent. Delaware and Marion elect a Representative, Mr. Shaw, whig. ROSS. A letter from Chillicothe announces that Old Ross has rolled up a majority of about one thousand ! This secures tho Senator and Representative in Ross and Hocking beyond perad venture. FAIRFIELD Has elected the locofoco candidates as we hear hy a small majority, greatly ml tired since last election. MONTGOMERY, II is supposed, but we have not full raturns, has c-lected two Whig Representatives ami tho entire lick-et Confirmed. Maj. 3INI. DARKK AND HHKLBY. The way bill this evening, on the Cincinnati stage, brings intelligence endorsed at Xenia, that Shelby has given the Whig Representative JAW majority, securing bis election in the district of Darke and Shelby. A Whig gain. ' HIGHLAND. Wo have a rumor that Highland has elected a Whig Representative. If correct, this is a. gain. KNOX lias elected the Locofoco ticket by a reduced niljority MUSKINGUM. The Wing majority in old Muskingum is aboulHOO. A Senator and two Representatives. HKLMONT, The Whig majority is reported on the way-bill, between four and five hundred. Whole ticket elected. GUKKNSF.Y. The remrts are contradictory. There is but a small majority either way. II sgainst us it is a W lug loss. GIIKKNK. Iraket Whig, elected Representative over indepen dent HAMILTON. We hear, verbally, that Hamilton has elected the locofoco ticket by a majority of IHOO. WAUUKN; Tho whole Whig ticket elected by ft large majority, as we learn by ft slip rum the Star, not complete, MIAMI. A letter just received from Piqua, announces that the entire Whig Ticket has been elected by ft majori Ity of llvu or six hundred. them. Without, therefore, winding to siy anything t the disparagement of the present incumbents of the above named offices, wc say the Whigs of Franklin have done well, and that they have reason to congratulate each other that the foundation of a thorough Whig ascendancy bus been laid in Franklin. There was a very severe contest for Sheriff, and tho majority of Mr. Graham, Whig, is but small. It will, however, answer all purposes, and the close vote on ft portion of the county ticket will admonish us not to allow personal feelings to divert us from the support of our own men and measures. Wc must be true to ourselves, and know only the watchword nf the Whig camp on the day of contest, and all will be well from this time forward. It may le invidious to make comparisons, but the Whigs of the first ward of this city deserve tho thanks of their friends throughout the county. They havo increased their majority since the Presidential election, and rolled up a majority of more than one hundred for the Whig Representatives. The unchangeable second ward will soon fall behind, unless a new and stronger effort is made than on yesterday. In several townships the labors of our friends deserve especial notice ; but they ask no higher distinction than the conscious ness of having done their duty. Those who brought the returns of several townships in so promptly, on Tuesday evening, havo entitled themselves to the kind regards of all. A corresponding seal and fidelity on the part ofafewof our friends in other townships, would have placed us in possession of full returns before ten o'clock. We hope they will not forget it. Whigs of old Franklin, by the good name your country bears, we ask you to cherish the honors you havo won. Our county is " redeemed, regenerated and disenthralled," and the blotch is removed from our banner. Close up the line, and let us from this time show an undivided front. The following is the vote for the County candidates, official: Represrntatirrs.

Franklin County Redeemed t It may seem a little strange to the Wings of other sections of the State, to see such ft remark ill reference to Franklin as that which beads this article. They I have, perhaps, stiptosed that Franklin never elected any but Whigs. Hut they am mistaken. Franklin has had a Locofoco Auditor form year and a Locofoco Treasurer furour years. It is even so but let by-gone lie by-gone. The gallant Whigs of Franklin felt that this ought not so to lie, and they have verified our pred'n-tion, made at the time nf the nomination, hy the election of the entire Whig Ticket, thus redeeming the County completely. Our Board of County officers, after the new uicoiIhts shall have been sworn in, will be thoroughly Whig. On this result we have a right to congratulate our Franklin county Whigs. Tho struggle was a hard and a close one. The strength of personal attachment was in some in sUuces greater than regard for the Whig ticket, and many voted for the old Locofoco incumbents of two of the prominent county othces. Such we can forgive. They will not again, we think, be induced thus tn abandon their political friends for their opponents, Knough there were who determined to stand by their own friends to War them through triumphantly. Most heartily do they enjoy the result, and we have reason to hope that they will never regret it. Huthsor F.. Waintir, Uie newly elected Auditor, is in every respect worthy of the responsible post. He will be an acceptable officer. JotKrti Lrirv is as true a Whig as there is in Franklin, and of his ability to perform the duties of the otfiee of Treasurer, we have no question. Ilia responsibilities are great, but he is equal to A Word with our Head era and Friends. The battle is fought in Ohio and the victory won by friends or opponents, which, remains to be told. I loir it has been fought, and how wc have performed our duty, are questions we have no disposition to discuss just at this moment That we have done all that eouhl be done we may not say ; but that we have endeavored to perform our duty and to fight the battle fairly and openly on principles and measures not men we may say without arrogating more than our due. The laliors of the Journal and its contemporaries throughout the State have been exerted not tn inflame the passions, but to reach the judgments of thinking and considerate men of all parties. Grave and stubborn facts have been adduced to show that the Whig party of Ohio have fulfil led all their pledges and pursued a course calculated to promote the permanent prosperity and honor of the Stale. At the same time the acts and proceedings of their opponents, in and out of the Legislature, have been freely examined and fearlessly exposed, that all might decide fur themselves whether a Whig administration in Ohio is not preferable tonne of a d i ft' rent political character. If the considerations and facta presented were duly weighed and allowed to exert their proper in ll nonce, the result c mi not be doubtful. Wc say now, as we said before election, "a full vote is ft Whig victory." The result will attest the truth of the remark. Of that result, in detail, we may speak at the proper time, when , the fuels are fully before us. Wo ask only an impar tial verdict as to our labors. On more than one occasion we have said that tho State Journal docs not receive the amount of patronage it should, in order to render its labors effective. While we are thankful for what has been done, and for the assurances of confidence and approbation that have been tendered by friends in various sections of the Stati, and by our couicm'torarics of the Whig press, duty to uursrlves compels us to say that our subscription list is not adequate to the support of such a pajtcr as we have wished to furnish the Whigs of Ohio, and as the importance of the State, in the political scale, seems to demand. To make a paper efficient in all its dctartiiients, and to secure to its col umns that amount of labor necessary, requires a heavy outlay much heavier than is gem-rally supposed. 1 lie subscription hit, of itself, ought to bo sufficient to meet litis outlay. It is not now and has not be and if we had to depend on it alone, long since, even with the present oullay, we should have been compel led to call on our friends to put their shoulder to the wheel. Confidence in the good intentions of the Whigs nf Ohio, an abiding hope that they would ulti mately be induced to step forward and render ft liberal supjmrt to their central press, has impelled us forward and enabled us to keep our Hag aloft. We are not il posed to strike it yet, nor do we feel as though we could longer rest satisfied with any thing so unsub stantial as this hope, lis fruition will alono com pen sate us for our laWs. A large eer$ion, to our hA- script to list will alone enable us to do justice to our selves and the big of Ohio, in tho publication of the Journal. A united, hearty effort in every section of the Stale, would secure us a subscription list ad quate to the publication of u-ha paper as the Whigs of Ohio need. Shall such an effort be made t Not by one or two Whigs in each Congressional District, but hy the faithful and reliable Whigs of every coun ty. An addition of five thousand siihacrihers to the list of the Journal could Ih made, not only without detracting in the least from the circulation of the Coun try papers, but much to tln-ir advantage. There are few, very few suhacrilicra on our list, out of this eoiin-ty, Who do not tnke their own County papers. Nt man should lie without his owu Comity paper, and no efficient Whig will fail to derive advantage from having, in addition, the Central Whig journal. Those who have nude the trial are satisfied of this fact. Y how many Whigs there are in every county who have expected much of the State Journal, (much more, it may be, than they have ever real i led) who have scarce ly ever thought of such ft thing as sending in their names as subscribers. How limited Die number o those Whigs who have taken so much trouble say to ft neighbor or friend, "you should take the Whig paper ul the Capitol. Is this rihl? . Are tin Whigs of Ohio, the first State of the West, the third in the Union, in political iuiKirtnnce, utterly indiffer ent to the support of a Central journal, devoted to tho propagation of their sentiments It cannot be. They will not longer suffer the Journal to labor with meagre support. They will not, we trust, suffer iU usefulness tn 1m impaired, its energies to be paralyzed, by a limited circulation. An earnest of our desire to serve them faithfully and to furnish them with a paper that will not suffer by a companion with others in the West, is given to our friends to-day. We have secured a new and beautiful dress for the Journal. This has been done at ft heavy expense, and for the benefit of our readers. How we shall be coniMnsated for the effort in their behalf, we leave them to answer. Rut may we not ask, earnestly ask the gallant Whigs of Ohio with whom we have struggled, in victory and defeat, to lend us a gmtd tnrrd and a Unit lohor to extend the circulation of our paor f The labor thus given shall be returned to them in full measure. Wo await a res-Kinsc t A Letter from Mr. Chiipin. The Statesman of Monday copies from the London Times, (by request of Mr. Chapin, we suppose) a letter written on the Texas question y that gentleman, who is on a visit to Knglaud. Mr. Chapin, it is known, is Superintendent of the Asylum for the lllind, located in this city, by the authorities of tho State. It was given out by Mr. C. himself that he made the visit on account of his health and in order to enjoy the advantages of a view of the institutions for the blind in Knglaud. Now, it strikes us that he has stepped very much out of the line of duty, propriety nnd sound precedent, in writing the letter in question. If he cannot employ himself more properly, his speedy return home to the institution placed under his charge would be advisable. As he is not here to speak fur hi in He If, we shall not go into a discussion of his letter, in detail. Nor should we have felt inclined to utter a word on tho subject, if his statements had been accurate, or he hnd confined himself to a denial, in gen eral terms, of the charges of "rapacity," Ac. brought against the United States hy the London Times. He might, with jierfect truth, have retorted on the Times nil the hard things charged agninnt tho United States, but would that necessarily involve a justification of the course of the United States on the Texas question? We tli ink not. Nor can he hotie to defend the course of this Government on the Texas question by any tich special pleading. Great Rrituin is no guide for Her rapacity will not justify deliberate wrong mi the part of this government, for it is the pride and boast of our government that it respect tho rights of all, and desires to keep its faith inviolate. Mr. Chapin would not have ventured to appear ns a champion of party nt home, and he cannot assume that position abroad, however specious the disguise, without laving limself opeu to censure. It is not his business, nor is his duly to defend us against the imputations of the British press, however gross and absurd- We can sur vive those attacks, though repeated every day and as foul as falsehood can make them. Mr. C. asserts in his letter that it was Ihe establish ment of a military despotism in Texan that induced the people of that province to revolt. Not so do wc read the history of the uprising in Texas, It was in de. nee of their system of shire holding that that peo ple revolted. The Mexican Government abolished Slavery and Texas refused to comply with tho re. quircmcnts of the law. As the only way of escape from it, they declared their independence of Mexico. Mexico has been for half a century as much a milita- despotism, as it was when Texas revolted. Mr. ('lay did not regard annexation as a " probable thing." He opposed it, unconditionally, on the terms proposed ; mid regarded those terms as involving a breach of honor and good fuith towards Mexico, and as hostile to mud policy. Nor did Mr. Van llureii think the constitutional or legal bearing of the question re- piired mature consideration." He had no doubts a to the constitutional itu of the measure, but opposed it as if doubtful cxtedieucy, and involving a breach of ill. Mr. Chapin, in conclusion, says of our Gov rnoient: They have no designs on California, as charged, nor is it their interest or their wish to enlarge their present rritory. nor is it believed by sober men on the oth- r side of the Atlantic, that oiincxatioii would have occurred but for jealousy of the interference of for- 115 n powers in llu altairs nt lexas, and the apparent probability tint she would liecouie dependent, com- lerciailv, upon (treat Jiritnin or r ranee, to the great injury of the United Stales. We deny the first assertion made above ; and the second is certainly incorrect, if the assertions of the leading Lwofoco papers are worth any thing. And, we can a.nure Mr. C. that it is the opinion of " soImt men " of this country, that the idea of foreign interference had very little tn do with the scheme of ail- iiexatiou, t-it her in its inception or cnmuiuiinntinn. If he were here we should call on h'tii for something to sulmtantiate these assertions. As it is we can only say that he his been guilty of great impropriety in attempting the discussion of this question. Georfriu J'leetion Returns from nearly thirty counties of Georgia have been received. According to the National I nielli-gencer there is a Whig gain on the Governor's vote, since the rres'ilelitlal flroti-m, nf l...tit n tk-tunnA. The same ratio of gain throughout will give lis the Stale. The legislature, thus far, is Whig by a major ity of more than two to one j but there is not eimugli to decide its complexion. dXTho Statesman charges the Locofocos of this County with defeating themselves, and their candi dates with conducting themselves in anything but a proper manner towards each other. They can plead guilty or otherwise, just as they please, but some of them will perhaps, think it is bad enough tn be defeat- without being reproached afterwards. Our own impression is that they used all the means in their power, foul as well as fair, to gain a victory ; yet they owe it In the very generous disposition of the Whigs that they were not worse beaten.

The charge has Wen made that the Manufacturers of Lowell, Massaehusrta, have reduced the wages of their operatives. The denials of Whig papers, repeated as they have been, have not a- vailed to silence this fnlschood.

A friend from New Hampshire recently informed us of a singular fact, which we do not remember to have eeu noticed in any work on natural history. His res-idence is so deep in the country, that the Wars frequently mike a viiit to his pant ores, and help themselves to sheep. The noticeable facl is, that whenever a bear destroys a sheep, he striM the skin off, clean and whole, and after eating the carenss and picking the nones, wraps me laticr au up neatly in Uie skin, and leaves them. Stilem timette. trr Tho following letter from the gentleman whom Mr. E. (1. Harney is pleased to style tho 11 military " member of the Committee appointed to investigate into the affuirs of the Board of Public Workti, and against whom he has directed so much personal spleen, will show that he has most emphatically 41 waked up Uie wrong passenger." We claim a monopoly of the scurrility of such men, as nothing more than a fair equivalent for our Rharc of labor in, excising the knavery by which the State has been so shamefully plundered. For the Ohio State Journal, The "'military" member of the committee for investigating " the hooks, account and vouchers of the Hoard of Public Works and Canal Commissioners," has been referred to an article in the Statesman of the tAi inst, signed K. G. Harney, in which the writer complains of a publication made in the Ohio State Journal, sometime since, commenting upon the cost of constructing the Dam across the Miami river, at the mouth of Lorumic's creek, upon the Miami Canal Extension, and affects to regard ft man of 11 military renown " and a member of the investigating committee, as the author of the objectionable article referred to. As the colleagues nf the " military " member of the committee are not known to have served their country in any other than civil trusts, and moreover, have not been honored by a personal acquaintance with the late Resident Kiiifineer of tho Miami Canal Extension, it is but just to infer that they have escaped his personal animadversions in the particular matter complained of. Fussing by 11 llonaparte s system of battering down walls masked butteries " lie No. 1 " " items Nos. 1, 't and 4 " the fact that his brother-in-law is a " Whig," and various other matters that the writer for the Journal is referred to hy the late Resident Kn gineer, the "military " member of the committee will nave accomplished his simple purpose when he says that he neither wrote, dictated, advised, or was consulted about the publication in the Journal, which seems so greatly to have disturbed the usually unruffled temperament of the late Resident Engineer. He denies, also, having at any time entertained per sonal ill-feeling towards Mr. H., and regret now to leant that while lie has been tor years receiving tun common place courtesies due from one gentleman to another, at the Hands ot the late ttesiticiii engineer, there should have been lurking beneath this outward show ft feeling that enubh d him to characterize the writer as his "bitter personal enemy." Nut more sup-prised, is the writer, at the change in the spirit of the Engineer's dream as to his personal rclutions, since the appointment of the investigating committee, than he is to learn that he has ever been stopped on the way to "aggrandizement by the design or mtiuence oi a "masked battery" in the person of the lute Resident Engineer in charge of the Miami Canal Extension. Hut so, he supposes, from Mr. Harney's statement, it must have been. The "military " member of the committee, apprehends, that the personal relations that he sustains to the late Resident Engineer, has but little to do with the charge brought in the State Journal, and is led to fear that the article in the Statesman is a ruse to draw off the assault from the main point, to another " masked battery." The late Resident Engineer will allow the writer to suggest in addition that neither the personal and vulgar abuse of the committee or one of its members, or the getting behind a Whig Assistant Engineer, or a Whig brother-in-law, or the effort to enlist the sympathies of a political n-irtv. will belter his condition Imuld it be tumid that lie has taillilullv nnu honestly discharged the duties incumbent upon his office, or save him, on the other hand, from the ennsequences nt having unfaithfully and dishonestly uned his office for the benefit of himself or others, should such prove to have been the cose. The writer leaves the late Resident Engineer in the hands of the Journal, to settle the matter of the dam, for the present, as he may ; assuring him that no per sonal attack from oHan or " masked liatleiies" upon " llonaparte s system ot haltering down walls, or uy in lnc gun, will change his determination oi atuing iu the investigation with which the coimuitteo is charged, as fully as circumstances and time will per mit, no tar from desiring to exciurie any u-sitiuouy that may be important to the investigation, the committee rxpeet to avail themselves of the evidence of the late Resident Engineer in charge of the Miami (.'anal Extension, and at the proper time Mr. 11. may obtain not only the opinions of those he chooses to style his " hitler nersonal enemies," hut the testimony of warm political personal friends. And it may lie, for so it has before been, that he will have occasion to say, " Save me from my mends. Piquu,Oct 10th, IrM.i. 1).

About If o'clock two men on horseback stop ped m the rond and commenced blackguarding thetn. 1'wn young men left the encampment for the purpose of getting them away. Atcr having drawn them some dmtance from the encampment, the men on hoMchack dismounted and attacked the V irgmians with clubs. In the melee one of the young men was so badlv beaten that he died in the course of two or three hours. The other was very badly, though not dangerously hurt. I he men who commenced ihe affray, as soon as they had accomplished their object, mounted their horses and rode off, and havo not, as yet, been taken. The name of the young man killed we understand tn bit Joseph Mcl.ung. As may well he supposed this most outrageous affair has created greal excitement in Ihe neighlMirhimd.

Wo have reason to believe that it will fully answer tho public expectation. The following pasage gives a very interesting and graphic sketch of one of tT.e very many able and eloquent speeches of Mr. Clav which have never been published : Among the lost speeches of Mr. Clay, the memory of which lives while they who heard them live, and the thought of which awakens to new life thc feeliugn they produced, was one delivered at Lexington, as lalo as May, 1h4;, thc occasion and history of which are an follow : After Mr. Clay had retired from the Senate of the United States, in lH4!i. till th n.i .l,,n.. ich time it was expected he would h ,n.,.m..o..i for President in 1K44, great efforts worn mndo in K..u. tucky, and throughout tho Union, hy his political opponents, not only to villify him, but to bring into odium the twenty-seventh Congress, which was the last in mien Mr. Clay Had had a seat as Senator, and tho ndeavors of which wero chiefly directed to nutnliliwh the policy and measures called for by the political revolution of 1840. Mr. Clay was virulently traduced by some base persons in Lexington and that neighbor- noou. ns a perpetual aroppmg wears a stone, so these incessant attacks, though false and foul, and known to be such, if unnoticed and unre pelted, might produce injurious effects on the common mind, lie therefore solved, and caused a notice to be nuhlished. that ho would meet his fellow-citixens of Favette and the ml- jotning counties, at Lexington, on a day specified, to reM-i um-m ciinrgi-B. his incntls, whom on this occasion he had not consulted, regretted the step as being unnecessary. They thought these attacks unworthy if notice. This difference of oninion was nainful to Mr. Clay, and no doubt contributed not a little to that depth and power of feeling which he manifested on that occasion. The notice brought together a ffreat concourse of people, whom no place but the public square couiu accommodate, i he patriarch statesman as to appear before his old friends and neighbors of forty years' standing, once more and for the last time. n Unit capacity in which he had not been heard for many years, and in which no one overexerted lo hear him again. And it was the vile tongue of calumny that was to lie encountered. The following account nf Uiis address was Airnished for the author hy a highly respected fellow-citizen of Mr. Clay, and the words of the opening, as quoted, am xact. When Mr. Clay rose, he was evidently much xcited. He commenced by saving, with marked em phasis4 Fellow citizens : j am now an old man quite an old man." Here he bent himself downward. " Hut t, it will be found, I am not too old to vindicate mv principles, to stand by my friends, or to defend my self " raising his voice louder and louder, at each successive member of Uie sentence, and elevating his person in a most impressive manner. He Uicn proceeded : It so happens that I have again located mvaelf in Ihe practice of my profession, in an office within a few rods of the one which 1 occupied, when, more than forty years ago, I first came among you, an orphan and a stranger, and your fathers took me by thc hand anu mane me what 1 am.

When ho uttered these last words, he raised himself to his most erect posture, and elevated his hands and arms, wide extended alMive his head, si-em ing to havo nearly doubled the height of his tall person. The effect was overwhelming indescribable. To have any approximate idea of the effect of this speech, which continued for hours, fully sustained throughout, in vindication of the twenty -seventh Congress, of Whig policy and principles, and in defence, it the orator himself, against his calumniators, one hould have a view of all the attributes of eloquence, iscnbed Ui Mr. Clay in this chapter, the use of scarcely me of which was wanting on that occasion. Nor should it lie forgotten, that he was then sixty-six years old. It may be asked, if any orator can be named in all history, who ever produced such an effect, in so few words, and those tlie mere exordium of his oration f 1 hey all knew that what he said was true. " 1 am an old man." Didn't they know Uiat And the moment he said it they began to weep. When he pointed to his present office, and the place of Uie old one, a few roils distant, they all knew that. I came here mors than forty years ago, an orphan and a stranger." They knew that. " Vour fathers took me by the hand anil made me what I am." It is impossible to conceive of the effect of this. They wept like children, and only wished they could do as much. Thev could at least stand by him. " 1 feel like an old stag." Now he is speaking to Kentucky hunters. Their ears are all erect for what is coming. And by the time he had gone through with thc figure, and its application, the struggle between the sympathy which streamed from thu yes of some, and the indignation which clenched the fists of others, of that vast multitude all knowing it was all true, every word of it was like the throes of a mountain in agony. A part of tho sublimity of tho spectacle consisted in a concern, what might he the fruit of such passion. For some of his defame rs were present. Hut when Mr. Clay rose in all the maiesty of bis own loftiness, threw his arms on high, and his voice out into the heavens he stood under its canopy and said, M scorn and defy them as I ever did, ' tney daHht a away Uieir tears, and resolved to lie as stout of heart as he, and to vindicate his honor.

Last year they were sold in London at twenty-one dollars a barrel, and the merchant to whom they were consigned, wrote that Iho nobility and other people of great wealth had actually bought them by retail at a guinea a down j which la some forty-five cents sn apple. Mr. f ell has Irom three to four thousand barrels of the apples this year, whirh are sold as fast as they ar rive in inaraet, at six aoiiars s narrei, and are all shipped to England.
