Now, we have reason to thank God that the people of this country are generally enlightened, and, however strange it may appear ro these conductors, have some'acquarn- lance with the public and private character of Henry Clay. Wholesale falsehoods, however often repeated and pertinaciously persisted in, are falsehoods still. Personal abuse and misrepresentation, although introduced for political effect, are nevertheless such weapons as the people will not approve.

Mr Clay's character is t.o well known, his public services too highly Appreciated, to be lied down byany combination that may be enlisted in the cause. The evidences of the increasing confidence which the people repose in Mr Clay are daily multiplying. He is the great leader of the popular sentiment of this favor of reform in government, and bringing it to the proper discharge of the duties it owes to the he is destined to be the next President of the United States, elected by a free people, we cannot doubt, and the slanders of political hacks cannot prevent this!

The Boston Mail slates that this statement of the Journal, is now a i its grand march through the country--exciting the liveliest sympathies ot the friends ot free trade, and the anger of all sensitive tap-room politicians. The tact, however, is--a lact, too, winch will never find its wiyy into the journdls that propagate the falsehood--that there is no duty atallvpon sheathing copper! Copper, in pigs and bars, copper sheathing copper, are all free.

The Lowell Courier states that more than two thousand dollars are deposited in the Savings Lhnk by the (emale operatives of a city, and that sitlij thousand dallurs ol the Capital Stnck ol the Middlesex Mills in Lowell, lire owned by operatives who work in the establishment.

The season has been i i the Hessian fly destroying much of the wheat crop early in the season, leaving some fields of wheat almost destitute of vegetation.

The potaloe crop suffered much from drought, the product consequently falling much short of an average crop.
