V e believe preparations are making for a Club in Bath. The Blooming Grove Club meets monthly, and we understand their clubs are spirited and interesting. The White Water township Ch-b meets every week. We believe Clubs will be organized in the other townships shortly. Thus "brightly dawns the mornin.M Messrs. Mount and Berry will discuss the Tariff quest ion at Metamora Ind., on theSOth jnst. Daril Hankins. Our notice of Mr. Hankins seems to have had a salutary effect. He visited our town again a few days since. He did not track near as vide as on the former occasion. He was more calm did not claim as much power and authority, and acknowledged that he had acted indiscreetly formerly. We did not understand thai he abused our town or the boatmen. But he may have thought hard w ords of the editor of the American. This, of course, we regret, hut being satisfied that the benefit to him is more than the injury to us, we shall not complain. The greatest acts of kindness, are often received with unkind ness. lXrThe Editor of the American acknowledges the receipt from the Editor of the Rising Sun Blade, of a pattern for a pair of pantaloons, and trimmings, all manufactured in Rising Sun, with the exception of the buttons. The crook informs ns that there is just a pattern, and we assure Brother Covington they never shall be dishonored. They are just in season,for if the Locos should skin this Coon, we shall need them, if the remarks of the State Sentinel be true, that we are "as poor as a church mouse." When we pe. them on and well brushed, we will drink to the health and happiness of the editor with a glass of cold va2d. J"?.?im i s."" ff,.?"1"? I .,Ca.a v, ucau.i, eaun ana prosperity In days gone by we loved to visit that delightful village. We have never yielded the point, that it has an equal for neatness, enterenterprise, and the social qualities, in the State. May she prosper, ami may her stakes be extended "Goitblind '."The locofoco party in this county are now making their preparations for grand county caucus. In conversation with democrat the other day (recollect there is a slight difference between a democrat and a locofoco.) he informed us that every man that went into the ho convention, had to "go it blind" this year. That every candidate must walk up blindfolded and have the screws put 'o his thumbs without any flinching without any wry faces no twitching of nerves no ticking out no conscientious scruples but must go it blind. This party held' a preparatory meeting for this convention on the 14th of October last, when the following edict was proclaimed as the order of the Franklin county caucus for 1S44, to-wit; "Resolred, That no erson will be balloted Jor m the county convention for any office unless he shall in writing addressed to the Sec retary oft he convention, pledge himself to accept the nomination if nominated, and if not, to support the election or the nominees." By this decree all restless spirits will be tam- , and the wireworkers can carry out their arrangements which were bargained for a year asjo, and no one dare say a word. And now nrAr1it ilit nni ai r I crm : I ' ers will be selected. Good men will never rert to ihe low and dirty trickery which will VC ce necessary to obtain a nomination in this proPosed caucus. But it is no matter how r.n. Worthy or how incompetent ihe selection it most be swallowed. Is this Democracy, or is it Federalism? Jacobinism Revived. We nnderstand that the locofoco party are going through the county getting the members of their party to sign written pledge to support the nominee of the Baltimore locofoco Convention, no matter who e is, or what his principles. We could not oeheve such was the fact, until we were positively assured so by several of the democratic Party in this county. We hope we shall hear ""neoi mem advocating the freedom of opinJtu and the freedom of action. Men that would 'fns deprive themselves of the free Elective 'ranchize, should never be trusted with so saJapiivilege. Spurn it freemen, and not Poluite your souls with such a pledge. ele,?j.7''mA-Mr- Darrag" whig, was tri ConSress from the Alleghany Disiori! fe"nsylvan'', on Friday las by a majority of about 600 votes over Gazzam, loco.1 n's is the second election in 1844.

Political! Insanity.. ' Whom. God wishes- to- destroy he

ftrst mates mad."1a-a. saying which at this time seems singularly applicable to the organization of Mr Van Buren's friends. We speak now of the presses, orators and leaders of the tocofoco party; the accountable members, upon whom alone. we can fairly animadvert Surely if rottenness, hypocricy, selfishness, and falsehood are deserving of destruction, a righteous God has decreed it for this living, moving, clamorous compound of all conceivable uneleanness. A wise providence has permitted these men to fall into a state of political insanity. Once I more "cunning than serpents," they have, j without loosing any of the serpent's vileness, (become, in their political machinations, "as ; harmless as doves." They have lost their j knowledge of human nature, and are no . 6t. vfly,uieoi exerting a serious influence upon the people of this country." Of this one of the most remarkable evidences is the pertinacity with which they cling to the fortunes of Martin Van Buren. We shall not irmiate the example of our enemies by indulging in scurrilotts.remarks.on a candidate for th presidential ehair; but we nay safely say that Mr. Van Buren has nothing in his personal character to excite the enthusiasm of his followers and nothing in his political services or principles to rally the people around him. It would seem that the people of this country have tried him and his doctrines, and have condemned both unequivocally. Never perhaps in the annals of pulilieal history did such a ease occur before; the case of a high dignitary, who had foi a lifetime been insinuating himself Lato publie favor, who had all the aroma of his distinguished predecessor's popularity floating around him, who had all the powerful array of government influence in his favor, backed by thousands of hungry adherents who were kept in good cheer by an occasional glimpse of the "spoils;" with all these "means and appliances to boot," and with a reputation for singular sagacity and skill in the use of such means, con demned, denounced, and cast off by a popular vote little short of unanimity! Subjected to a defeat utterly disastrous and overwhelming. Is it not indeed madness to present this man to the people of this country for th?ir support? Another striking evidence of this insanity is the system of personal abuse that these vise leaders bring to bear upon every Whig who is put forward for the presidency. We have political principles that are worthy of discussion. Our course towards Mr. Van Bu ren does not justify this scurrility toward onr candidate, even upon the score of retaliation. I But our opponents fly from the true and important issues; and looking upon the people as a herd of gossip-mongers and slander lovers, they hope at once to gain their end. an d m-at. their Propensities, by indulging in nfrenn,, -M .. ; - . ,.0 3 it in io-ju. inis mad thirst for slander, this inborn hatred of reputation, gave the downward impulse to an already tottering cause. In 1844 the same cause is brought forward, and the same means are used to establish it. These crawling, reputationless wretches, whose souls sicken and die within them at the sight of human excellence that cannot be tarnished by their slime, once made the excellent Harrison the object of attack. The same men who would have denied the old General the glory of a hard earned reputation, and who, for years of labor and suffering in the cause of his country,would pay him a grateful return in epithets of "granny" and "coward," are now indulging their patriotic eloquence over the story of "Bargain and corruption." The independent spirit whom these leaders once declared to be immured in a "cage" and to be under the supervision of a "committee," is now beyond the reach of their clamor; they turn in their hot hatred of excellence upon one of the noblest of the living, and with hypocritical cant sneer at him as a "duellist" and a "blackleg." With such foes the incomparable ability of thestatesman and the spotless purity of the patriot are as valueless as the chivalrous daring of the soldier, and the patient self-deuial of the Wes" tern pioneer. Virtue to them is hideo us: thev ... V11"1 teelh I Vry; they fish all their notions of human character from the Styg ian pool of their own bosoms. They are mad! Deserted by Heaven, deserted by the people, they are insane. They go forth blindly in their insane orgies, and attempt to rebuild their fallen altars, and to rekindle the embers of iheir venomous abuse. Their labors are vain, for the people have no sympathy with them. As surely as the lamented Harrison triumphed over the hosts of mercenary men who sought to destroy him, so surely will Mr. Claypass through the contest unscathed, and present to his country, when the battle closes a reputation the most glorious the confidence of the present, and the admiration of all ages to come. Busphemt. The locofoco party are enumerating various accidents and deaths which have occurred since the commencement of Tyler's administration, as evidence of the displeasure of Providence. Now if Providence has any special agency in these afflictions, we believe he is showing his hot displeasure for i T lei's unho.y alliance with locofocoism.
