Whigs of Ohio! We are on the eve of another great and important political conflict. In a few weeks you will be called upon to east your votes for Chief Magistrate of the Nation, Ib it not time, then, that there was a Gathering of the Clans, preparatory to meeting in Grand Council ? Is it not time for evory friend of Republican Liberty to arouse himself and ardently engage in the good caune ? Believing this, in common with all our neighbors, wo therefore invite you, and particularly those residing between tho Ohio and Scioto rivers, to a great mass mkktino to bo held in ZANESVILLK, ON WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 14th. The warm-hearted and welcome hospitalities of 1840 will be extended to all who rnnv visit us on the above day the old Tippecanoe latch string will be I hung out to the thousands who may meet with ub. Our citizens can and will accommodate THIRTY THOUSAND WHIGS. Come on, then, friends; of Clay and Protection rally in defence of Whig principles and Whig measures. Let tins be a successful struggle to establish a good currency and good prices, and an honest ad in mid trot ion of tho affairs of the General Government. Mordecai Hartley, Gov. Corwin, D. Storer, Robert Schenck, Thomas Kwing, Gov. Mftcalf.Gcn.Combs, J. J. Crittenden, of Ky.; T. M. T. McKennan, of Pa., and other distinguished speakers, have been invited. Timely notice of their acceptance of the invitations will be published. J. T. Fradur, A ?. Jackson, J. S. Potmnt ThoB. Dandnn, J. H. Morchead, David Munch, Lambert Thomns, .4. Van Home, M. P. Briiitr, David Harris, Whig Central Committee of Muskingum Co. Zanesvillk, June 22, 18-14. Whig papers of Ohio will please publish tho abovo till the duy of meeting. In view of such facli, can any one doubt tlic result in OliioT Doei any man ituppnM il probnble thai a Whig majority of 2-1,000 ran bo overcome by any effort of our opponent!, al the coming election 1 Ohio hoi never been a Loco Foco Sinle, and Itai never had within her limit a majority oppo-od In Whig principle. Mr. Clay received a large majority of bet miTrnget in 1B24, In 183:2, when Gen Jnrksoii wai in the very zenith of liii popularity and power, hi majority over Mr. Clay wai but lutlo over four thousand!! In 18 6, when Mr. Van Buren took the field, with tin whole influence of Gen. Jackson to back liim, he was bkaten by (I en, liar-rison fUNE thousand votes. In 1)140 Gen Harriion's m-tfority over the same man was over TWENTY-THREE THOUSAND ! ! With a full vote there hat always been an undoubted Whig majority in the State of Ohio ! Shannon, although elected in 1842, did not receive at many votes by Ft ft KM hundred, as he goi in 1840, when lie was beaten sixteen thousand by ?!r. Corwin! I Ycl, there are Loco Foeo her and abroad that pretend to indulge the belief llint Ohio' vote will I given at tho neit election, in favor of David Tod and James K. I'olk ! We pily the man ihnt is so weak as lo give heed lo such a supposition. The Whigs of Ohio are doicrmincd to do Iheir duly, and we ask no other guarantee of success. If tho vela in a full one, and we doubt not for a moment Ihul it will be, tfu Whig majority will exced twemtt thousand votes I Mark that. 1.0COFOCO NOMINATIONS! MORE OMENS! The Loco Focosof that dintrict, held a Convention al Ea ton, I'reble county, a few days since, for (ho nomination of a candidate for Congress, tVc. F. A. Cunningham, Esq., of Eaton, received ihe nomination for Congress, with tmi litilo opposition, (bully Weller having declined.) A. M. King, of Butler, is the nominee for senator. Now, comes Ihe ominous finale. An attempt was made to fire a salute aAerwar Ji, but the gun exploded, and the man that had its management, had his hand blown off ! We would not allude to these melancholy accidents, jp a spirit of levity; but we cannot refrain from introducing them to show that were wc disposed to fol low the infamous example of Kendall, what a fearful chapter there is within our reach. OF THE PUOHPECT IN OHIO! The Loeo Koto papers of the east, and of the country gen trally, profess to have received satisfactory assurances that Ohio will east bar vote for Folk and Dallas 1 Some of the presses of the party in (his State pretend to indulge hopes of such a result. We say "pretend." lor it rs an mere pretence. Whatever may be the statement to this effect, either sent abroad or made for home consumption, they are utterly groundless made at haznrd, without facts lo warrant them. There is no more probability lhat Ihe vole of Ohio will Iks giv en lo Polk than (here is of thai of Massachusetts; and iliat,we judge, few will pretend to class among probabilities. W have U best reasons for knowing that the sagacious among our opponents bane their whole expectation of a gain upon the Whir vole of tfMO, upon the supposed apathy and coldness of Ihe Whigs, They say ihcre is nothing like the enthusiasm and confidence in the Whig ranks, (hat there was in 10W i hence, they conclude thai the vote of the Stale will not be much larger than It was iu 1812, when they elected Hhannon by a minority vote. They think, also, thai ihe ue Ihej bave made of the Native American movement, through their presses, together with the labors of their pensioned li beliefs (Collins and Rineharl) will mnke a strong diversion in their favor among our naturalised cttuens. 1 liey have calculated on a large increase of the Liberty vote from the ranks of those who voted for Harrison in 1810; and they are not without hope lhat a constant repetition of their miserable slanders against Mr. Clay, will induce some of the more credulous to wiUihnld from him thoir support. I'pon these circumstances and contingencies they base all their liopcs,whcU er weak or strong. In calrulntiug upon apathy in ihe Whig ranks to increase their chance of success, they deceivo themselves most wofully. We hesitate not to say that there never was a lime when Ihe Whigs of Ohio were so perfectly sanguiue of success. There never was a time when they felt disposed lo sacrifice so much to secure success, as at present. Tltcro never was a lime when they pursued with so much harmony anil good feeling, the measures necessary to ensure success. They never felt so fully convinced of the wisdom of tho Whig policy, and Ihcy never fell so much impressed with Ihe imporinnce and 1 neccMiiy of success. They are alive lo the responsibility lhat rests upon them, and although I hey may not make as much display, Uicy turn out as eH uie:iings, ana contribute as liberally to circulate Whig papers and documents. The public meetings, with but half the effort to mnke thorn so, are as large, if not larger, than they were in IZW, while the l.oro Foco meetings are generally much smaller and less enthusiastic. Tho work of organisation, in a majority of the counties, is much further advanced than it was at this lime in 18W. On the other hand, there is less of hannonv as lo men and less of confidence as lo measures and success and a much more imperfect organization among our opponents limn Ihey had iu 1U10. Tlio vole of tho State, mil fall, will he greater, by at least twenty thousand, than il has ever before been; and tho increase, except in the foreign vote, will bo in our fovor in a proportion offour lo one. The increase in the f.ireign vote will be against us tn a proportion of two lo oris. So Uial we hazard nothing iu saying thai a majority of the new votes will be in our favor. It is possible lhat the falsehoods of our c-ptmncnui as lo the the course of Ihe Whigs relative to the Native American movement, may prevent some who would otherwise have voted with us, from doing to; but we do not believe Ihey will withdraw from us any considerable numluT of votes that were riven in our favor in 1810. And we know of but ouo or iwo counties in the State, where the naturalized, voters are numer ous, that will be likely to give a decreased majority or pro portion of votes In the " hig lickel.ascomparetl with low. Tho strength of the Liberty parly has undoubtedly increased very considerably, within iwo or three years; and bad not the annexation question been agitated, ihe diversion from our ranks would bave been considerate. In the prcsenl aspect of the Texas question, we feel saUried lhat the number of conversions from Loco Focoism lo tho Liberty parly will he greater than from the Whig ranks, and the letter of Mr. Clay together wiui Ihe recent movements at W&ihmgton and Ual- timore.will secure in our favor three thmisand votes thai would otherwise have been givm lo the Liberty ticket, or kept away from Ihe poll; while the same letter and the same movements will cause a positive loss to our opponents of from three lo five thousand voles. Nioe-ienths of the candid aud reflecting citizens of Ohio, are utterly opposed to Annexation; hence our opponents must inevitably lose many votes, and experience great dillirully in harmonizing the party generally on (he question. This will bave a tendency lo retard organization, diminish confidence and redure strength. The Tariff is popular with a very large majority of tlic peo ple of Ohio, and Mr. Polk's position against the present Tariff and against the priuriple of Protection, makut him highly objectionable, and must lose him voles; while it will cause a lukewarm feeling among others. The conviction that has been forced upon the public mind, thai ihe leaders aud candidates of the (tarty are generally against Ranks and a paper currency; will deprive the Loco Foco ticket of very many who were its warm supporters m '40. The position of the Whigs on ibe Teas, Tariff Bank questions, is one thai accords with the honest convictions of many in the opposition ranks, wlulo it meets the hearty and enthusiastic approbation of rwy Whig! Tlic evidence thai IB before every man s mind, Ihnl vt lug measures mint conduce to public prosperity, will do its work in making eou verts; while the failure of our opponents to meet frankly any of the great issues, and their utterly inability lo show any advantages that can grow out of the elevation of a Loco Fo eo administration, cannot but dcirr men from lending their influence to iiromote its success either in Ihe Slate or Nation. Never were Whig principles more popular; their vindication Upon the stump has never been mora successful. Never, never was Loco Focoism so entirely Aniline of a popular hobby as is most sigiiiBcanlly shown by Ihe fact lhat ihcy claim nu other merit for their candidate, than thai of living near the Hermitage and being on friendly terms with Gen. Jackson Since 1840, public feeling in this Stale has been strongly exercised on Um subject of the Currency. I ho utter faith lessness of Iho Loco Focos during Ihe many years they have Coat rolled Ihe Legislature, has gradually opened the eyes of Ihe people. Last fall, they spoke out in such a manner as lo completely revolutiouizo several Legislative and Congres sional, IMrins. la the course of the loco Foco portion of Ike last Legislature, they were furnished with nddiiional and even snort conclusive reasons for supporting Whigs, if they wish lo secure a sound and safe paer currency of their own. equal to the wants and necessities of business. Wo shall doubiedly gain ihe votes of many honest and intelligent men oa this qucsuon, that were opposed lo us tn IB W. ' We bave seen evidence that could not (nil to prove perfectly latisfaciory, thai Muikingum county will give a larger majority, by several hundred, than slm did in III 10. Fair field couuty wilt cut down the Loco Foco nvyori ly one half. Morgau will give us a majority at llie Slate and Presidential elections. She gave nearly two hundred against us al Ihe Stale flection in 1H40. Washington will al least hold her own, and we think give an increased Whig majority over '40, Licking govt W against us la IlMO, she will mnke at least a draw game (hit time. Knox gave 8 or 600 against us in W 10. It will not give, at the nuuido, over 300 nest fall. The Loeo mijorily in Richland will be cut down al teust 500 In Wayne the Loco Foco majority will he reduced 300. In Stark II will meet a reduction of at least 200. In Ilutler, Ihe Loco Foco majority will be reduced at least 400. We know ol hut t or 3 counties where, if our friends do their duly, there ' is likely to be a material loss. COLLARS DROPPING OFF! THE CHAINS PARTY DRILL SNAPPING ASUNDER!! We can hardly pretend to keep pace w ith the renunciations of Loco Focoism all over thu country. But, in order to show how grossly some of the presses of the opposition are attempting to deceive their readers, by pretending toenterlain tiojies of success, with the miserable make shift ticket of Polk and Dallas, we shall continue lo give an item or two occasionally. Tho Statesman of last evening has some of tlui tallest brags nnd most ridiculous statement, editorial and from correspon dents, thai were ever put forth. They are fabricated, from first lo last, lor the sole purpose of deceiving and quieting the fears of tho doubling and wavering. It is coolly asserted that Ihe changes ogninsl Ihe Whiifs in Madison, are numerous. Now, we not only know thai this is false, but we can produce the names of fourteen men that have descried Loco Focoism in ihelifljbj town of London and vicinity, alone; and we cou!d give Ihe names of one hundred men, that have but recently left Ihe parly in Madison county. In Clark county, tlio changes in our favor are very numerous, and wc could give the names of dozens. Talk about changes for Po'k and Dallas; we can scarcely find a rcspcclahlo Loco Foco who will pretend eveu to endorse lite views of Polk oa tho Tariff aud Annexation ! Tho following items show how die current sets abroad: More Hoi.tiio, A Locofocn meeting was held al 8a-vaiHinh, Georgia on the 7lh, Col. Geo. Rulwrttion in the chair, at which they resolved thai "we disapprove of ihe action of Ihe late llafttmnre Convention in uoiiiinuliiig Mr. Polk tor I'residcut, and that we as IMnocralt repudiate said nomination."St ill tiikt Come.

There was a Polk meeting at Cincinnati, a few evenings since.

In 1840, a few days before the election, Ihc statesman could most iilcninlv assure il readers, thai "it was all over with Whig- gery in Ohio," and that iho opponents of Van Imien and Shannon stood no chance whatever, within her limits. The result of thecoutost left Corwin with some sirteen tliousand majority ami Harritnn with between twenty thret and twenty four thousand ! ! What was Ihe reiull in UH2, wheu tho edi tor of the Journal auiicipntvd victory. Wilson shannon became Governor, by a minority of Ihe votes of Ihe Slate, and we lost the Legislature, by defections in undoubted Whig counties; where, not dreaming ol defeat, many of our friends slaid al home, and others unthinkingly threw their votes away on Ihc liberty ticket. 1 lad the Whig voles given to Mr. King al thai time,tccn set down to Mr. Corwin, he would most unquestionably, have hud a mnjnrily of till the votes casl in the State. We arc acquainted with many, wlin hud they supposed it at all probable that by casting their votes for Mr. King, they would endanger Ihe success of Mr. Corwin, would never have recorded their votes as they did. Now, contrast the election of Shannon, hy a minority vole, with Iho tremen dous majorities given to Corwin and Harrison, and the difference between Ihe predictions of the Journal and tho Slates man. will be palpable. 1 he readers of both will lie able lo lectdo which is most worthy of credit. MR. ARCHER AND NATIVE AMERICANISM Tlic Statesman calls our attention to a letter ol Mr. Archer, a Senator from Virginia, approbating the sentiment of ihe Native Americans, touching a change in Die naturalisation Laws, We have only lo say, what every man knowi to be true, lhal Mr. Archer is tho only Whig, of either bnuirh of Congress, who has avowed himself in favor of the views of the Native Americans. I lie Whig party are not responsi ble fur his sentiments, and do not endorse them. He hi right to hit opinion, and he itoes not pretend lo give it as iho opinion of his own political mends, or any portion of them. On the contrary, he says- 1 know well tlte obloquy to which I shall expose myself!" In speaking of Ibe Native A men- cans in connection with his own labors, he snyi: "Al the ensuing session of Congress I shall sel our ball in motion ! He admils however, lhal "it will be driven back," and thai ho has no hopes of ooii finding public sentiment with mm Even John Q. Adams, surrounded as he is by native horn citizens, avowed his hostility tn tho plans of the Native Ameri cans; and thai man is utterly regardless of bis own reputation for veracity, who altiruis that he has the remotest conception of scciug the Whig party adopt, endorse, or act upon die suggestions of this Association, And, Mr. Archer himself, will And lhat this organization, from which be expects so much, will in a short lime cease lo have a local habitation and a name. MORE RENUNCIATIONS! " " HONF.ST MEN STANDING UP FOR THEIR COUNTRY !" Under thiz heading, the Da vton Journal, received this morn ing, publishes the renunciation of Loco Focoism by FOUR of the working men and farmers of Montgomery Counfy, to balance the renunciation of Whiggrry by John Smith, lhal has been heralded forih in tho Loco Foco papers. They slate lhat they voted for Van Huren in 111 10, but they have become convinced that "progressive democracy," metini nothing moro or lots than r.ink federalism. They go for a 1 nnff, a Nation al Hank nnd DiMribtitinn, and against Annexation. Thus are correct principles working out Iheir triumph in Ohio. The ut ter downfall mid overthrow of Loco Focoism in Ohio, next fall, will become zn evident, iu the course of a few weeks, thai no man of common sense will risk his character for di crclion,by calling it in question. (TT We learn from ibe Dayton Jouronl thai Mr. Schrnrk, who gathered iho highest honors during the recent sestion of Congress, returned lo hit home on Friday evening lasl, just as U. 1). Tajlor was engaged in addressing Ihe Loco Foco Club, and pouring upon him the grossest abuse. As soon as ihe word reached iho meeting, a largo tinmltcr tc-n.aiida crowd of some 200 soon gathered around his dwelling, lie came out and shook hands wiih the whole crowd. He gave them his promise to Icl them hear from him soon, and retired receiving threo hearty cheers from those present. THE FALSEHOODS OF TIIEHTA FES MAN AflOUT THE CONSTITUTION OF NEW HAMPSHIRE!! The Statesman has at length found out that its slatcments about the Constilutionof New Hampshire, are utterly fatso; ml il makes all sorts of shifts lo avoid acknowledging ihe facts. After denouncing our declaration that thu Contiilu- n of that uncliangably Loco Foco Stale proscribed Catho- lies, on account of their religion, as "infamous and false," a few weeks since, it at length makes a hulf way admission of in correctness of what wo slated; but to weaken ihc force, of that admission, says lhat the assent of two thirds of Iho vot ers is necessary lo secure an alteration of tlio Constitution; and thai the Wings being opposed, the Democrats havo not been able to effect a chniigc ! Now, in order lo escape acknowledging one falsehood, il has told another, equally gross and palpable. The people of New Hampshire are required, by iho Constitution, lo vote directly upon the question wlielh il shall stand, without alteration, once m every seven years. 'hey have thus voted again and again, and great as is ihe ,ocu Foco majority, Ihe infamous tc-tl has been sustained by their voles. A bare MAJORITY is all that is necessary to secure a change in ils proviiions, as will lie seen by the follow ing extract from the Constitution itu-lf. After staling thai the vote shall bo taken once in seven years, it says: "Ami if il bImII appear lo the general court hy lurh return. ill ihc sense of the people of the Slite h.'is been tiiken, nml at in tlio opinion of llie MAJORITY of the fluidified voters tno oune, present ana voting ni sain mi-rungs, mere is a resiiv for u revision of Constitution, il itiall be Iho dutv of Ihe general court lo call a convention for lhat purjHise." This extract has been transcribed by a friend, at our request; and wo presume is correct lo the letter. In what position docs the Sintcsmon stand now I Can il speak, without blushing, of tho Native American lest; in view of regulations so much more infamous, imposed by a Loco Foco .Slate? Let not A'cm Hampshire and democracy be mentioned on tho snniu day hereafter. The alien and sedition taws of old John Adams. contained nothing half so odious as this. FOOD FOR REFLECTION LET EVERY LIBERTY PARTY MAN READ! There is a piper printed in New York, called the "Northern Star." It is printed and edited by the colored citizens of lhal Slate; with what ability the following will attest. Il spuaks for itself, and can hardly fail, it seem to us, to convince many Liberty men of the impropriely of ihe course they, and more especially iheir presses, are pursuing. The Star speaks thus : We have now briefly examined ihe means, so fnr as we have been able lo dincover ihem, by which ihc Lilirrty party aims to abolish slavery. For the reason given, we do not oeiitvu ine means can arcompiitii tne aims, tine wont a lo the measures of Ibe Lilterty parly.

Although we have spent nearly all our days iu this country, and our earliest recollections do not carry us back within years of tlio period when we first inhaled the breath of freedom, upon Freedom's soil, yel we have never censed to feel grateful lhal our lot has boon cost under the genial influences of free institutions. Unconscious though we may be, by experience, of the evils of a form of government, less free Ihon that under wliirh we now live, yel we liuvo not forgotten that (his is uol our Faterland, Hence, our sympathies have ever gone out towards those who here seek "ou asylum and a home," as after brothers and friends. As an adopted citizen, many of whoe nearest relations are in a foreign lund, wc have llie same reasons and tbe samo motives to prompt us lo look wiih jealous eye upon those who would curtail tho rights of adopted citizens, that can animate any other. Wo have spoken of sui-h with the some freedom, wltetlier political friend or foe. Dm, in all lhat wc have seen nud heard, we havo found nothing thai could of right, be allowed to weaken our attachment lo the Whig cause, and ihe great champions of lhat cause. There is nothing in the principles or die practices of the Whig parly, that can for a moment authorize the opinion, that Ihcy sympathize with the Ndlive American Association, in ils purposes touching the Natural izal ion Laws. Whatever may be the opinions of Pointed iudivi'udlt, each dny affords to us moro conclusive evidence thai the mass of the Whig party are sound, that wc have nothing to fear and every thing tohoe for, from nti administration conducted in accordance with their priiu-iples, and, more than all, that. the candidates they present, have given a pledge by their whole lives that Ihcy not only do not seek lo curtail the privileges we possess, but earnestly seek lo increase nud perpetuate the privilege of every adopted citizen. Mr. Clay, of all others, hoi stood out most conspicuously in defence of ihf righls of man, and the great principles of free government, and freedom of conscience When we thus speak, we would not havo our declaration pass as evidence of the furl. We hnve the proof, and in view of that proof we shall not appeal in vain, when we soy to Iho adopted citizen, whatever his name and nuliou, il bocomus you, as you would prove yourselves wor thy of the freedom vou enjoy, to treat with scorn the miserable attempt that are made lo appeal to your prejudices and passions, by the stipendiaries of Loco Focoism; and to stand up in vindication of the man whose noble sentiment are recorded below: EXTRACT OP A SPEECH OF HENRY CLAY, ON AMERICAN INDUSTRY. Delivered in the House of Representative! March 30 and 3 1,1 824. "Tlio cxamplo of Spain lias bocn properly referred to, as affording proof of the calamitioa which attend a State that abandons the care of her own inter-nnl industry. Her prosperity wai Kreateat when the arte, brought there hy the Moon, Hour. lied most in that kingdum. Then alto received from England her wool, and returned it in the manufactured stale; and then England waa least pros porous. The two nu tiona have reversed conditions. Spain, after the discovery of America, yielding to on inordinate passion for the gold of thu lndiea, sought in their mines that wealth which might have been better created at home. Can the remarkable ditfurence in the state of the prosperity of tho two countries be otherwise explained, than by tlio opposite systums which they pumuctl? England, by a sedulous attention to her homo industry, supplied the means of an advantageous commerce with her colonics. Spain, by an utter neglect of her domestic resources, confided altogether in those which she derived from her colonies, and presents an instance of the greatest adversity. Her colonics were infinitely more valuable than thoso of England; and, if she hud adopted a similar policy, is it unreasonable tomippoao tliut,in wealth and power, she would have surpuodud that of England ? 1 think tho honorabto gentleman from Virginia Mi. Barbour does great injustice to tho Cutholic religion, in specifying that aaono of Ihe leading causes of tho decline of Spain. It is a religion entitled to great respect; and there is nothing in its r In racier incompatible with the highest degree of national prosperity.

CLAY'S OPINION OP NATURALIZED CITIZENS. n&rwir-Jan.ai, 1830. Petition from Dr. E. Tholler. Mr. CLAY, having briefly stated the import of tho petition, remarked, in effect, that ho would not now call in question tho njrht of Great ltritain to con- lemn and punish tor treason any individual lound in rebellion against her authorities within her territory; but this petitioner stated that ho had been condemned on tho express ground that he was only a naturalized citizen of the United Stales, and was a native f tho British dominium; and he lurlhor stated tliat he would have been executed under thia sentence, if ho Imd not escaped from his prison in Uueboc. Supposing thoso statement to bo correct, Mr. C. felt compelled to sny, that, if the tribunals of Great Britain condemned this individual on the ground that ho was a naturalized, and not a nativo citizen of the United States, then the United States wore hound to remonstrate, and lo ramonstrato in the rn:t effectual manner. If the petitioner had been condemned, for rising against the authorities of Groat Britain, Mr. C. would now havo nad nothing to sny, but ho must and would, insiat that all foreigners, from whatever quarter, who had been naturalized ns citizens of tho United States, had a right, and ought to Do protected in all the rights ot nativo Amorican citizens. lheroaro many modes of settling this question, nno of which was by treaty, which lierotoforo had hcen proved successful. It might be done by a di rect act ot legislation, which should indicate to iireni Britain that we should, at all hazards, protect all our citizons, whether native or adopted from foreign countries, under our Constitution nnd laws, without iliscrimiiiation, and all on tlio same broad looting of equality. Without indicating what ought to bo dono in (hit case, Mr. C. moved that Iho -tilion bo printed, and rclurrcd to the Coimmltco on r oreigtl llclations. MR. CLAY AND THE CUMBERLAND ROAD. The following letter from Mr. Clay we copy from the Athenian (Ohio) Messenger, and was called forth by the reports which Loco-Pocos in Illinois had been circulating, that Mr. Clay was opposed to this great work. The letter of Mr. Clay effectually puts to rest this slander: Ashland, 1st Juno, 1844. My Dear Sir: I received your favor and thank you for the friendly motives which prompted it I must refer you fur my opinion on the question of completing the Uumberlund rload, through the Mates of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, to a speech 1 made at Indianopolis in the autumn of 18-12. It was published in tho papers of that place and other papers; but 1 regret that I have no copy to send you. The substance of what 1 said was, that an estimate ought to bo made of the expense of finishing the road in tho threo estates, to be atoned or gravelled where stone or gravel could conveniently be obtained at a reasonable expense; and where they could not be so procured, to be cleared, graded and bridged; and that appropriations from time to time should bo made by the General Government as the state of its finances would admit to complete the road; the money to bo expended in each of the threo States under tho direction of the respective States. 1 am rospccttully, your mend, and obedient servant, II. CLAY. R. E. Constable, Esq. From tlio Detroit Advertiser. MICHIGAN SPEAKS! The Contest. We receive daily, cheering ac counts from the interior of this State, of the determination of tho Whigs to carry Michigan. No one has a doubt ol the election ol Henry Ulay, not even the Locofocos thcmaelvos ; for with oil tlio cheering nnd huzzaing of tho Prco Press, not one of the Karty csn be found confident enough in the boasted nrmony of the party to stako anything on tho gen eral result of the election. They profess, however, tn havo toll and undoubting belief in carrying the State of Michigan, for Polk ; and thia belief is founded on the result of the elections in this State, for threo years past llut when the Whigs are told that their vote of 1840, unit larger by over 1,500 than any vote eatt in (hit Stale by the Locofocos, they will understand how little they have to fear from a confi dence bused upon such deceptive data, as tne last elections. In truth, the Whigs have but tu rally in thoir sirength to carry Michigan by 4,000 votes ; tor if the Locofocos with tho $30,000 stipend, sustaining a pensioned press in every county of the State, have not been able to bring up their numbers to the Whig vote in 1840, with at least 5,000 now votes in tho Stato, how can they hope to exceed that vote, with a candidate in favor of annexing to the Union by one act, five new slave-holding States, and giving up forever the political power of the nation to the South', a candidate who denies tho constitutional right of Congress to mnke appropriations for our lukc harbors, and has on all occasions voted againBt such appropriations who is filled with tlio rankest political and social prejudices against non-slave-holding .Suites ; and has manifested it in every legislative act of his brief and insignificant political life, by voting against all measures boncficia! to Northern interests. MASS MEETING OP GERMAN WHIGS!

Mr. R. having made out his case on this point, took up tho 1 arm, and spoke at somo length about tho necessity of a sound National Currency, and closed with some spirited remarks on Henry Clay's public life.

On Friday last the good Whigs of Greene, skillfully, with ease and without the slightest accident, raised erect a beautiful Ash Pole, 170 feet in length, on the corner of the Public Square. From its extreme point fiios a sky sweeper of red ribbon some ten teot below it, a streamer bearing on its folds "Our Flag is here" below thai, again, is a larger streamer, on which the Eagle with the word "Promotion" is given lo the breeze and below this, last of all, at an elevation ot 108 feet from the ground, waves out the National Flag, !XJ feet in length and Vi feet in width, on whose uzure aquaro tho Bird of Jove stands proudly, and whose stripes whilst streaming in the air which fans tho harvester, bear up tho names of "CMY, FHEUXGHUYSEW JlJVD BARTLEY," on ono side, and on tho other, the motto, 'Our cause is just, our Union perfect, Victory cer tnia." This Flag particularly, tt a perfect beauty the graco8 of its fair makers, tho Whig Ladies of the Village, havo been imparted to it in passing through their hands; and being the result of their handiwork and taste, as if conscious of the fact, it bears itself gallantly and gracefully in the galo. When it reached its destination aloft, the welkin rang again with tho shouts of our noble Whigs; whilst the smiling faces and waving handkerchiefs of the ladies encouraged and applauded tho enthusiasm of the men.

Editors: Having supported Mr. Van Hu.. ren in 18 and again in '40, 1 hereby publicly declare that I cannot vote for that party at the coming elections. I voted fur the party through thick and thin, under the shout of 'Rank Reform' until I fourd that (netr 'reform' consisted in Bank destruction. I believed the leaders honost in their assertions when they declared on the stump and through tho papera, that they were the poor man's friend, in advocating moasurea for his benefit This also I have found to be false. They are advocating James K.Polk for tho Presidency, who is in favor of annexing Texas, and (if placed in power) will lend a hand to destroy Iho Protecting Tariff; the only bulwark of American Mechanics against the pauper labor of ten cents per day in Europe. I am a Mechanic and opposed to low wages. I am in favor of a United Stales Bank, and Ihe distribution of the proceeds of the public lands as advocated by Henry Clay. Upon all these great questions (which such men aa Washington, Jefferson, Madiaon and Monroe supported and declared tho correct American policy.) 1 find that they am opposed to me in opinion. To the annexation of Texas with its elavos and debts I am also opposed. Of both these groat National evils we have I think quite an abundance. I am unwilling lo help add millions of each lo tho long list already too Inrge. I have therefore resolved tosupiortClayand Freling-huysen and in supporting them stand by the Old Land Marks established by the founders of the Ro-public. R. I), ELLKINS. Miamiaburg, June 20, 1844.
