The prcdominent religion ef the country
is Protestant, but there are teven small

of a law for the protection or harboring
of the Jesuits, and the Diet, far the sake
of preventing a civil war, which was
threatened, hetween the different contons,

of the people, the Council confirmed the
vote of the Diet. This was the signal
for action on the part of the people; th'j
government had taken its stand, and the
people, feeling themselves aggrieved, de
termined to maintain their rights at every
haziru. Meetings were held, resolutions
o'Tered. and under the cry of "God and

Letter from tho Honorable
John EL Clayton.
The lion John M. Claytox was ex
pected to address the citizens of Wilming
ton at a public meeting on Saturday last;
but sickness, consequent upon exposure,
prevented him doing so. As he could not,
however, utterly absent himself from the
place where the Whigs of Wilmingtou
were met for counsel, the following letter
w as sent by him and read to the meeting:
Homestead, November 7, 1810.
Dear Sir.: I have just returned from a
visit to the Whigs of Kent county ; and, af
ter lnecting and addressing them amid
storms and rai.is, have arrived at home
with a very had cold and sore throat. It
was my confident expectation to meet the
i Whigs of Newcastle county in conven-

tually disqualified me from addressing
them at this time.
I was the more anxious to avail myself
of this opport unity of meeting so many of
the Whi gs of Delaware, because, in the
midst of the political revolution which is
now spreading over the whole Northern
I and middle parts of the United States, I
desired to speak emphatically upon tire fu
ture course which I have resolved to pur
sue myself, and whh h I intended to a 1
v..sc the U lugs to rditerc to hereafter. In
my opinion, no Whigshoidd, at this time,
shut his eyes to the fact thai the present
overwhelming triumph of his party is
mainly to be ascribed to the repeal by the
Democratic parly of the tariff of 112.
Our'fricnds went into the contest immedi

poliUcians have olten amused the masses
when they mtemieu to deceivn them, tne
Whigs have spoken plainly out, specifi
cally, in favor of the tariff of 1812; and
jdedged themselves, in the event of their
accession to power, to restore that tariff.
and to repeal the tariff of 1840. We j
have succeeded by no barren generalities,
but by a plain manly, and uncompromis
ing declaration both of the principles we
mean to maintain, and of the practice by
which we mean to carry them out. The
people are sick of deception ; and will no
longer bear to be da oed bv any inn or
any party on this subject. If the Whigs
expect to maintain their triumphs, they
must leal honestly on all occasions with
1 l5ic people; and not only profess plainly,
I'lia practice imratiy according to meir
professions and the now known wishes of
ine puupic. x iif wrsi nuiig in uc truect-
ed on their accession to power is the re
peal of the tariff of 18 16 and the restora
tion of the tariil of 18 12. When a law
accomplishing these results shall have
passed Congress and been approved by a
President ot the United States, then, and
not till then, in my humble opinion, will
the greatest wish of the country be gratifi
ed and its best interests sustained. When
this shall have been achieved, the people
will, in their own good time, indicate. any
change they may desire in their revenue
system.
During the mighty struggle, which is
even not yet ended, we hare proposed to
compromise no principle? with our oppo
nents ; and when the battle has been fought

upon which we should ever attempt to
treat ought to be the fti!u qnn ante f.ti

were before the tariff of 13 115. Until that
and is obtained we hearken to no compro
mise, we listen to no half-way measures,
end least of all to such as propose to sa
crifice on? class of manufacturers to main
tain another. Div'ale and anque.r will
be the maxim of our opponents. Audit
is our duty to distrust anv man who shall
sock to divide us by offering protection to
some class at the expense of all the rest.
If there be anv among us who .shall desire
to play that game, or dare to ofier as a
Whig measure any proposition which has
for its object to bailie and defeat the une
quivocal restoration of the tariff of 1842,
let us at once repudiate the measure as un
called for by the people and opposed to
their wishes. Scouting all abstractions
and generalities, let us continue to present
the principle for which we mean to con
tend, manfully and openly, as an object
visible and tangible 'he restoration of
the Whiz Tariff of 18 12. Lit this stand
as a watchword of the party, the shibol
eth of our political faith. Inscribe it on
every Whig flag, and each will become a
laharinn, as invincible as the banner of
the Constantir.es.
Had it been permitted me to attend the
meeting, I should have availed my?ell of
the opportunity to congrauilals the Whigs
not only on the triumphs abroad, hut on
tl e prospects i;t home, hi every part of
Delaware which I have visited the Whig
fires burn brightly; and if the friends of
the party do not suffer themselves to be
distracted by false issues, their victory is
certain ; aud Delaware will present to the
country, as usual, a Whig Governor, a
Whig Representative to Congress, and a
Whig Legislature.
I have the honor to be. very respectful

VEMCKIt 7.
By the arrival at Fort Leavenworth, on
tha 30th October, ot Lieut. Col. Kuff; of
the Missouri volunteers, we learn that
Gen Kearney left for California on the
25th of September, taking with him com
panies H. C, G, K, and I, 1st United
States dragoons in all about 400 men,
mounted on tnuUs. The route of tin's
small command was considered by many
of the oldest and most experienced moun
taineers and traders as one of great hard
ships and suffering, if not absolutely im
practicable being down the Rio Grande
io Soeoro, (an old Spanish town, former
ly of much importance from the large gar
rison stationed there,) about 200 miles
south of Santa Fe ; thence west to the
"Gila," (pronounced Heela;) thence
down the Gila to within 150 or 200 miles
of ihe head of the Gulf of California, into
which the Gila empties itself; the ice north
west to Monterey, on the Pacific. This
route is called and known as the Copper
Mine route.
This command is accompanied by the
following officers : Gen. Kearney, com
manding ; Cap. Johnston, 1st dragoons,
aid-de-camp ; Capt. Turner, 1st dragoons,
Adjutant General of the "army of the

and a guide from Taos, who take; with

One of the maxims of the British Gov-

Listen to the language of the Union :

lull we I that tlie .Northern loirs an;
their presses are not engaged in a traitor

but he hopes to diveit public attention
from the miserable policy, the bungling
management of the war, by denouncing
all who oppose, not ih? war, but .Mr.
Polk's mode of com! net hi"- it.
But tha Union grows "more furious as
he proceeds. Hear him again :
"And none but a 'moral traitor none
