Mednesday last .was the day appoin ted for the Whig barbacue at this place, and the most strenuous exertions had been made to ensure a tremendous gathering of the people. The flaming advertisements of the meeting proclaim ed that several eminent - speakers from Thiladelphiavould address the meeting, and die repori-was most industriously circulated that the Buckeye BAER would also be preseni.i We anticipated a large and most enthusiastic meeting from the extraordinary exertions whichlind been made, but we must say, we were pointed., The meeting , in point of numbers was certainly respectable, but a most chilling apathy and coldness seemed to have taken possession of the multitude. Whether . this arose from the fact that a large propintion were democrats, drawn there from curiosity, or, that the whigs weredisappointed in their great .guns, we are unable to say; but they seemed to prefer the speakers on the various hawker's carts to the whip orators The processions began to arrive about , 10 o'cluck in the morning; and made something of a show. 'There were wagons with men in them, and wagons filled . with boys ; banners in favor of all sorts of tariff; from the " judicious" to " protective," and for any tariff.— Coons were borne aloft-on ash trees, & as sneaking, pilfering rascal as a coon is, they seemed heartily ashamed of the part they were playing or the company they were in. About noon, the performance com menced, and the crowd which was gathered in front of the stand was ad dressed by Judge Herrick, we presume, as we saw him making gestures; but are happy to state, we were not obliged to li;ten td him. Adjounred for dinner After dinner an attempt was made to get tip a procession, which was an en tire failure. The speech in the forenoon hat been quite • enough; and they would n't " fall in." The stand was occupied by Messrs. Bancroft, Ex-mayi or Swift, of Philadelphia, and Sweet, clf Owego.' Their speeches . *ere after the usual manner t f ivhig speeches,and each reiterated the same stale slanders and the same vituperation of democra- ey. " The BIRDS did sing ,and so did" the Philadelphia minstrels, and the meeting broke up, all being satisfied with it, we hope: WHERE CAN HE GET THEM ? 4. Where," says the Boston Post, in its own shrewd way, where is Mr. Clay 03 get his votes?. It cannot be pretended that the honest democrats • who voted for Harrison for the sake of a change, will vote for Clay; they nev er did, they never will vote for him, , knowing as they do his principles, his unscrupulousness, and lack of judgment, and wisdom. ,As in 1832 and 1836, he is radically unpopular, just as the Atlas said he was; in 1840. 'Where are _his votes to come from r' The Tariff 0€1542. The . Whigs, for the first ; time since they were sired by federalism, now claim to be for a tariff, and for the purpose_ of suppressing the diienssionor .The Bank. question, have made a false .issue on the ., Tariff: ' 'Nearly every ivhig state in the. Union has been opposed to a tariff affor ding discrimination, while Pennsylvania has stood by it, through good and evil report. Scarcely a 'majority of - whigs voted for the tariff of 1842. •At that time tne whigs bad 'a majority of—ten, in the Senate, and forty in . the , House : Now if the whigs as a party are flien,,,ds of the present tariff, and the democrats opposed to it, why did not t the whigs support the tariff of 1842 in Congress ? We put the question again: Why did not the Whigs . of the Senate s and House vote for the bill r Scarcely a majority of them voted foot; the bill depended on democratic votes to pass it, and the votes ‘of Messrs. Bucha-• nan and Sturgeon saved the hill in the Senate, where the whigs had ten majori ty. Massachusetts, ari old federal state, was until recently 'opposed to a protective tariff, while democratic Pennsylvania has ,always stood by it. Upon what authority do the whigs as sert that Hehry Clay will adhere to the tariff of 1.842? Has he ever said bathe would unqualifiedly adhere to it ? we put this question to every candid whig, (if . such an one can be found) and we ask him to point out to, us - the place where, and the time when, Henry Clay has committed himself to this extent ? We have been told, by some of the whigs that he has recently written a letter to a gen tleman in Philadelphia, promising to ad here to the tariff of 1842, but we have searched in vain to find it. If the •whigs desire not to deceive the people upon this subject, they will' give to them the proof of Henry Clay's ad- herence to this tariff ; and we call upon them for the proof. LOIIISIAN IA ELEcTioli.—The returns from the late election in this state are not complete. The members of Con gress elected are three democratic, and one whig. In the city of New Orleans, a large number of votes were refused, and in consequence the polls in several wards were closed and no votes re ceived. Speaking of this matter the N. 0. 'Tropic says,---“Why, it seems that Judge Elliott had,been detected on a certain occasion in issuing false cer tificates of naturalization, so that suspi cion was brought upon all the papers bearing his name. Sixteen hundred ers are thus stripped of , one of their t valuable privileges on a b(are sue picion—a party is swindled out of a 'just triumph, by a peradienture—the will of the people is defeated, 'because certain gentlemen of a Clay Club affect to doubt the validity of the acts of a court. Now, under these circumstances, we contend that the democratic inspec tors were .right in refusing to receive any votes unless all legal votes were received. Surely, ballot boxes are not made for the exclusive accommodation of whigs,no'r can that be said•to be an election in which the votes of one side only are received." The returns from the various coun ties are not full, but enough have been ° heard from to satisfy us that the demo crats have carried a majority - in both branches of the Legislature, and a large majority to the State Convention. A. B. DICKINSON'S OPINION OF HEN RY CLAY.--:The following is' Mr. A. B. Dickinsons .testimony of the moral and political character of Henry Clay.— We extract it from . the Elmira Gazette wbicli gives it as a great man's opinion. " Does-not CLAY after he has had a real set down at Brag come into the senate- chamber and read salms and , Halaluges; and thank his god that he has been preserved through the night; and Doos not Your Doctor Sprague go into his Pulpitt and Preach asermon on the,duei and then to conclude he calls on all good Christian men to put down duelling at the ballot box - anti 1 will venter my Earee-be and all his Chris tian Prysbeterry abolition church will. go in a =mass for Clay, the Damdest hore in politics that ever disgraced the American Senate." MORE OF MR. CLAM'S PROTECTION. a letter to Messrs; Braham arid Bledsoe, of Georgia, dated July, 8, 1843, Mr. Clay said—"" I'never was in favor of duties, ,being so high as to amount to prohibition of articles on whila they were all laid. I have thought it best for all interests_ that there , shOuld be competitiou.7 `r hlg.Proaulses. What are a the' iihip.piomises in 1840 that they ,have fulfilled 1 They promised,to reduce ihe'eipenditures" of the government to $13,000,006„noCon ly did Henry Clay deny:that - this pro mise was ever , made, but' co-Operated to increiselhe expense's ai'dovernment4 The whigs promised to reduce the na tiorial debt; have they done it! - No. the first thing. done by them wits to increase that debt several millions.— They promised to reform as to was,tful experditures, and cried out that the democracy were plendering the Treas ury ; what did they do ? as a reward for their services, they voted to their printers the pretty sum of fifty thousand dollars; to the family of Harrison, al ready endowed with a splendid fortune they voted .twenty-fit;e thousand dol lars. So the President's house, already furnished with gold , spoons, and groan ing under the weight of its furniture, they- appropriated six thousand dollars more. This system of plunder upon the Treasury, was kept us during the whig Congress. They promised a Bankrupt law for the beilefit of poor debtors ; this law they passed, and then repealed They affected to despise treasury notes, but flooded the country with them; they had great pity for men who had been turned out of office, and protested most vehemently against turning men out of Office fora difference of opinion, and yet they, turned out more than had been turned out during the two _proceeding administration. The whigs are now making promises with as little intention of fulfilling them as they had in 1840. " MORE CRANGES. " —The whigs are making .a great parade of pretended charges. The N. Y. Courier and En quirer flourishes in the following man ner over two changes to whiggery: " General Thomas Edwards of Bridgeport. Connecticut, who has fot many years been a prominent member of to loco foco party, and was their candidate for Congress a few years since, has come out for Clay and Fre linghuysen, He is said to be a man of extensive influence. Alfred Edwards, his son, heretOfore known as a success ful loco foco orator, is, now on a - tour through the State, using all, his influ ence for the whig cause." The Journal of Commerce, a whig 'paper in the city of New York, make the following remarks upon the above: " The fine of the matter is, that " Gen. Thomas Edwards, of Bridge port, 'Connecticut," is an old nee° man, and "Alfred Edwards, his son," is a negro simpleton, who amuses the mass meetings of the boys by spelling words, in which he raises such utter rbbellion against the spelling book that the urchins cheer him right merrily." The whigs of this county are most industriously circulating reports of the recantati'►n democrats, of their prin ciples, which are false in every partic ularand which is only done to' raise the spirits of their down hearted fories. It won't do, coons, you are POLKED for certain. MASS' MEETING AT WILKES-BARRE. —A great democratic Mass Meeting of the Northern Counties is to be held at Wilkes-Barre, on the 6th day of August next. Hon. James BuChanan, John K. Kane, John M. Reed, lames Page, Benjamin H. Brewster and other able speakers are expected to be present: The call upon t e No l rthern Counties is the following:— " Rally Brethre ! Rally Democrats from the •• STA F THE NORTH!" Rally from the pines of gallant " OLD LYCOMING !" Rally from the hills of BRADFORD, and far off TIOGA ! Rally your legions SUSQUEHANNA, and our younger sister WYOMING, send on your forces ! WAYNE and PIKE, ever true to the standard, rally your sons to - the North Country gath ering! Come OLD- NORTHAMP TON-, and being both of your daugh ters NORTHUMBERLAND -too, come with the family ! LUZEISE, to the rescue! !" BEAR IT IN MIND, that enormMlS frands were committed by the•whigs in 1840 on the ballot box, especially in Ohio, and so proven, nevertheless !the Whig Senate refused to pass a law, re quiring all the States to hold their &c -tioit on the same day - in order to Pre vent these frauds; Remember thai tho same party once held the reins ... of gov ernment in defiance of 'the deCisioh at the ballot box and proclaimed that they would treat the election as though it had never been held.

Are there no changes in favor of Democracy in Pennsylvania, heh ? We'll show you in Oatober and November. MURDER IN NEW JERSEY.-LOR Wed nesday night a shocking murder was Committed, in Allamucl4. Warren county, by Mathew Agens, a man about sixty years, upon the person of his own son. The old man, %vim is quite'wealthy, has lived in a state of intimacy with an infaMous woman for some time, in his own house, and has often driven his aged wife from under his roof. On Wednesday night, about 12 o'clock, a dozen persons went to the house, it is said, to' ride the woman on Ja rail. Among these were two sons and a son in-law of the old man. They brnke open his doom, when he shot Walter Agens through the lungs with a gun. He died soon after. The funeral of the unfortunhe young man, Walter, was attended by , nearly a thousand people. The old man at tended the funeral and wept like an in fant. He had been arrested. Tonyism.—The whigs say they have discovered that the grand-father, or great uncle - of James K. Polk was a to ry. If so, and either of them are living, depend on it, they are whigs now.and may be found doing battle for Henry Clay. If James K. Polk has been so true to 'the principles of democracy, as to incur the displeasure and disinheri tance of his ancestors, it agrees Much in his favor. In this neighborhood. the sire and his children, - and grand children, of-a federal family, noW. I are together, neither generation having courage enough to break the fetters; if the whigs had affeated such abhoreuce for a tory at an earlier period:it might have been of some service to this coun ty ; but it istoo late now the donkey is still a donkey, though he may .ihave on a lion's skin. HENRY CLAY AND Tin SETTLERE:-••• The Whigs dare not publish the speech es of Henry Clay on the preemption question: He has . ever been most hos tile to the piiimption right of s e ttlers on government land, denying to this class of our citizens any rights by vir tue of the improvements they had made. NEW AREAGEMENTS.—The Po: floe Department having altered and hours for the mails leaving T da, some few weeks will necesl elapse before regularity can be obt. " THE HICKORY CLUB" is the t a campaign paper printed at thel of the Demociatip Advocate at It Pa, at the low price of 25 cents campaign. Tula Mommis.—The Mormons were ••, , , all quiet at the latest dates: It is sup , posed that the Mormon ,soe'lity Will pow be entirely brojteri_ up, in„ cerise 4nenetc oflifiedeith Of Smith:' -- His murder is said` to be ad; act:of perfidy and - cowardice; perforined ~by•- mob disguised, and their faees c blackened, who overpowered the guard,.and enter ed the jail, stabbing and shooting the Pro .het and his brother. BOUND TO KEEP 'THE PEACE.--LeWiS C. Levin, editor of the Daily Sun,— Samuel R. Kramer, editor of the Native American, and Col. John G. Wat mough, Stirveyor of the port ofPhila delphia have severally been arrested on charges of inciting riot, &c., and put under bonds to keep the peace. DUELLING 'vs. MORALS.—When in the Legislature of. Tennessee, at the age of twenty-five, Young Hickory got through a, law, punishing' duelling. When in the Senate of the U. S., Hen ry Clay, at the age of sixty-eight, was put under bonds not to violate such a law! [For the Bradford . Reporter.] Let us hear no more about mum merles. No. 2. The Argus- informs us, that the hico locos have got a young coon, (they can't catch the old one) which they in tend .to take to Athens witlf.a poke on, then observes, let us hear no more about mummeries." Now I presume to say, no set of men would 'adopt a mo del or an ensign of the character of their Chief, or candidate, but such as thby deem appropriate. When Andrew Jackson was called by the people to become a candidate for the Presidency, he was branded by his enemies, by the name of Old Hicko ry ; this was immediately adopted by his friends, as a proper emblem , of his character. The Hickory is considered as one of the mostuseful trees of Ameri- Can growth : in war we make use of for ramrods to fight our enemies ; in peace we use it to poke Mir oxen. to till the ground, w and to poke the more unruly-ones—the . farmer finds it the most useful for almost every implement of husbandry ; it needs no protection, being of a healthy and robust growth; and finally it makes the best liberty poles, having withstood ill the furious winds of its enemies.—Andrew Jack son convinced the world at the battle of New Orleans, that he was old hickory ; although the federalists joined the ene my against him ; yet the ranks of old hickory could not be broken. Now I do not think it mummery, that the federal whigs have chosen . the coon as the most - appropriate name to designate their chief. The Lion is an emblem of royalty" and is a beast. The coon, although not the, king of the beasts, is the representative of aristoc racy. Let us see what kind of an ani mal a coon is. Why it is a surly, ill natured, pettish creature, and it is not mummery when Henry Clay is com pared to the animal to which his friends have chosen to designate him. The coon is surly and ill-natured, so is Henry ClaY; if any one;lappens to say anything which offends-him, pop goes his pistol in a duel, aid wantonly sheds the blood of his fellows. . The coon is pettish and treacherous, so is Henry . Clay. When-he was in structed by the people of the State of Kentucky to vote for Geti. Jackson, he could tiolate the will-Of the people, and vote for John Q. Adami, and receive as a reward the higheit gift of office .from a man he pretended befoie to dis pise ; and when James K. Polk was Speaker of the- House of Reprtsenta- fives in Congress, because be did not ( *cop - to please Henry Clay; could say, go home G—d D—m you where you where you belong. Surely this looks a little coonish among honest people, who would like td lure like christians and have all their officers such,'" - Now fellow citizens, I think . you will agree with me, that when a party select a candidate for the office of-Pre sideiat of the United States, and com pare him to,a coon, that it is riot mum- mery to put a poke on the animal, as a fit emblem—that we shall not only Polk the old coon at next fall's elec tion, but all the'coons t democracy/must and; will triumph over federal whig- mis rule—duelling and high handed infideli ty will be -put down, while . the ,mild and ,nidr , c peaceable government of the people will prevail-, at least thisis the • • s prayer of .t Of ,Aays wan- arily fined. fide of office rren, r the Meeting of the Democratic ponding Committee, • The Committee met at the Ex t . wanda June 17th, 1844 when on is, E.
