so wedded to , jthat if eaeh one cannot seeure his

ble be will take no part in the struggle except to
embarrass and thwart his political friends, for the
benefit of his political enemies ? We say, with the
" Richmond Whig," if there be such men in our
ranks, let them belong to which division they may,
they are not Whigs at all they are. Clay men, or
Taylor men, or Scott men. They go. for the man
of their choice not for principles or measures.
They may be zealous and loyal to. the individual
they prefer, but Ibey have no devotion to the cause,
of which each of those names is a synouyme.
There; are not many such Individuals in the Whig
ranks, and that.they are confined to a very few lo
calities, we are satisfied. But the -notes of discord
soanded.by these men, few in number as they inay
be, are calculated to infect the whole party, and pa-l
ralyze its exertions. We. invoke all these who have
suffered Passion rather -than Reason to hold the
helm, to reconsider their course and to retrace their
steps. It is the part of sound policy to wait, at
leasts until the Philadelphia Convention shall have
made its nomination. What, if Mr. Clat, shall be
the nominee, what benefit do his peculiar friends
expect to result to him or to the Whig cause, by ex
asperating and thereby dritmg from his support,
those who, under existing circumstances, prefer the
nominatioo of another individual, but who will uev-
ertheless, in the event refered to, cheerfully support
Mr. Clay? And, on the other hand, what do the
nolens xohns friends of Gen. Taylor hope to gain,
in the event of his nomination, by acrimonious as
saults upon that individual, and upon his friends?
In this quarrel about mere men, we confess we. feel
no interest. We desire, above all things, the tri
umph of our party,; We believe .that, with the re
storation of harmony in our ranks, and the zeal and
enthusiasm ' wbicb the cessation of this intestine
strife would inspire, we may confidently .look, for
ward to the overthrow of a dynasty, which, in our
humble judgment, has inflicted as fatal wounds up-
!y on his long and intimate connection ! on the Constitution wounds which must be imme-
fcnty of Chatham. The informant says dicable, if its reign be perpetuated either in, the
pLr will be apt to excite an enthusiasm person of the present Executive, or in that of any
one of his aiders or abettors as those inflicted by
Lionis Phillipe upon the' French charter, and for
which he has been dethroned, by the. sudden upri
sing of an outraged people. .. Let every . Whig then,
whater may be his individual preferences, resolve,
from this day forward, to adopt the nisi maxim un
der which we, fought and conquered in 1840 'f the
ujnox or the Whigs for the sake of the U
,'; In hoc signo vincesf Let us pursue the
contrary course, and our fate as a party, is sealed

prohibit the publication of letters or despatches not
published by authority, relating to military opera

letter and the answer of that officer to the charges.
Having concluded, Gen. 8cott withdrew his accu

regard to Gen Pillow.but this general stated he would,
notwithstanding, reply to the accusation made by
Gen. Scott that he had liberated an officer placed
under arrest by Gen. Scott previous to his having
been tried.

We call the attention of the "Standard" to the
Proceedings of the Whig Meeting in Halifax Coun
ty, published in this paper, and ask it it can see any
signs of dissatisfaction expressed therein. The
friends of the venerable and sterling Whig, Colone'
Andrew Jotner, pronounce tbe selection; of Mr.
Manly, as the Whig Candidate for Governer, " a
wise and prudent choice of an . unflinching," long
tried, well-known and intelligent Whig," and for
whose. -election they pledge themselves "not only
cheerfully j but joyously to aid, at home, and wher
ever else in the State, their "co-operation may have,
effect , If the "Standard's" only hope of. success,
is to. engend er jealousies, and. heart-burnings among
tbe Whigs, it will find that it has undertaken a task
which" will profit his party nothing, and but the
more surely secure the success of the Whig party
in the State, in August next
MR. CLAY'S NEIGHBORS.
A meeting of Mr. Clay's friends and neighbors
was held at Lexington, on the 14th ult., to express
their gratitude to his friends beyond the mountaius
for the unexampled manifestations of respect, confi
dence, and regard, extended to the illustrious; sage
of Ashland, during his present visit to the North.
Judge Robertson presided. Tbe meeting approved
of Mr. Clay's passive "position in rcfereuce to the
Presidency, neither seeking that distinction nor. pre
maturely declining its honors," and expresses the
hope that, with his accustomed patriotism and heroic
devotion to his principles, he will maintain that posi
tion until the W bigs of the Union through their Na
tional Convention" shall have selected the candidate ;
and, in the event of his being selected as the candi
datey and acceptance, their belief that he " would be
elected President of die U. States, and by his ad
ministration, bless his country." The meeting dis
approved of any public display on Mr. Clay's return
home, and appointed a committee of his old anditricd
friends, to communicate to him the proceedings, and
to ' assure him that the Whigs of Fayette, and as
they believe, the Whig party of Kentucky, cherish
for him an unshaken and abiding confidence and
respect, which official station could never increase,
nor the hopeless deprivation of it ever diminish."
The following is the resolution of thanks5 to their
Eastern friends: :
Resolved, That the neighbors of Henry Clay here
assembled, avail themselves, with unfeigned satisfac
tion, of the occasion of his daily expected return to
his home, to make a public offering of their grateful
acknowledgments, for the marked confidence an his
devoted patriotism respect for his distinguished
services, and admiration of his eminent abilities re
cently mai tested, beyond the mountains' by his!coyn-
tryuien of all classes, ages, and sexes, in conspicuous
demonstrations spontaneously made with an enthu
siasm and unanimity unsurpassed by the civic tri
umph of any untitled citizen.
others, should be present, He also wished to be in
formed by the court, whetherany officer, separate
from himself Maj. Gen. Pillow and Lt. Col. Dun
can, were embraced in the order read by the J udge
Advocate, as accused parties. Gen. S. did not have
the slightest desire Jo embarrass or retard the pro
ceedings of the court ; he said it would materially
enlighten his path in the course he should deem pro
per to pursue, if he could be informed of the impres
sion of the court in that particular. '
The court wishing time for deliberation, the room
was cleared for the space of half an hour, and upon
1 being re-opened, the following decision was ren
, dered :
'-That the conduct of Moj. Gen. Pillow, and Bvt.
j Lt. CoL Duncan, will under the order be investiga
ted, as far as their conduct is involved, in the char
ges preferred against them by Maj. Gen. Scott, and
also the Court will examine into the merits of the
complaint of Brevet Maj. Gen. Worth against Maj
Gen. Scott; and no other parties are before the
court under any order known to the court
The court also informed Maj. Gen. Scott that all
parties to which the-order referred would be present
in the court to morrow morning at the regular hour
Of meeting.
Gen. Scott her rose .and said : That the court
might well conceive how much, how deeply, be had
been, wounded bv tbe information thus commuurca'

his family, he found himself but a prisoner at large

manda command of some considerable elevation,
of some considerable glory the highest, perhaps, in
view of the numbers, valor and prowessof thearmy,
h-ld by an American soldier since the days of Wash
ington. Nor was this all.- He found himself placed
as the chief criminal before the court, and was in
formed that one of the parties against whom a spe
cific charge was preferred by him-has been acquitted
and rewarded before trial by the highest constitu
tional military authority of our country. The ac

assembled, being present Gen. Scott, with his staff,
Gens. Worth and Pillow, Col. Duncan, and many
other officers ofthe army.c The judges, after having
been constituted according to regulations, expressed
their readiness to investigate the charges of Gen.
Worth against Gen. Scott. The latter rose, and
stated that be-was there to listen to what had been
alleged against him, He then produced a letter,
Which, by permission of the court, he read, having
reference to the- arrest, of -Lieut. CoL Duncan,
stating that he did not consider the court a tribunal
to examine and decide upon any or all the charges
that bad been brought against him.. . At this point
he was interrupted by the judge advocate, who read
the following' letter:

Swwln the matter of my appeal against Gen.

George Summer, now in Paris, writes a letter to
the Boston Daily Advertiser, in which he expresses
the opinion that the result of the French . National
Assembly convoked for the 20th of April, will be the
adoption of the United States Constitution a Presi
dent and two Chambers - From his intimacy with
Lainartine, Mr. Summer may be supposed to speak
authoritatively. Mr. Goodrich, (ft Peter Parley,"
who writes to the Boston Courier.) thinks that i ere

with the remark c:that there is not a nord in what I

"Your readers cannot fail to remember with what
honied assurances of impartiality in the administra
tion of justicerM,:Polk took possession of the rCitiS
of power. To several individuals already in pos
session of offices, the emoluments of which barely
sufficed to support a widowed mother or some or
phan sisters, he had actmflly pledged his word of
honor that they should retain them. But politi
cians soon persuaded him that promises were made
to be broken. ' Accordingly, he not only gave him
self the benefit of the doubt as to the expediency of
fulfilling certain promises within the legitimate
sphere of his own patronage, but actually arrogated
to himself, for the first time in the history of our
Government, the right' and privilege of dispensing
the patronage of the various Departments under the
the control of his Cabinet Ministers. Among those
who were thus f doomed to poverty and disappoint
ment, in order that the band of satraps, which sur
round Mr. Polk's throne, should be rendered strong
and efficient, were some, personal friends of Mr.
Buchanan, who had the hardihood to rebel against
this wanton violation of good faifh. Mr. Polk al
ways famous for his hatred to those whom he has
once injured, did not fail on this occasion to heap
coals of fire upon his victim in the shape of obloquy
and villification. Mr. Buchanan remonstrated in
vain ; finding that the President was determined to
secure a re-nomination through the influence of the
paronnge properly belonging to himself. he hired an
obscure young man, who writes for the N. Y. Her
ald over the signature of " Galviensis," but vho is
not even a citizen of the United States, to abuse
Mr. Polk and ridicule his pretensions ; and to con
fess the truth, " Galviensis" has been very effective
in the performance f his task. The President,
not to be behind hand-of -his Secretary of State,
engaged the services of an "Observer" who indites
clever impertinences for the " Ledger," and by means
ofthe amusing caricatures of this powerful writer,
Mr. Buchanan's prospects have been well nigh de
molished even in his own State. I really pity Air.
Buchanan : for the fact being now pretty well es
tablished, that he has for a long time betr"ayed eve
ry State secret, for the sake of supplying his pet
" Galviepsis" with exclusive information, he will
have no other alternative but to resign. But is not
tliipictureof demoralization-mbigh placesone which
loudly calls -for the interference of an outraged and
an insulted people?" .
