We had . purposed publishing in our paper a coplete list of the renuncia tions of Whiggery which are filling the -nolumns of other papers. But upon making a complete collection, we find , tbat.a tithe of them would fillrr pa per..FrOm the length and breadth of our land, in ever State and county, men are coming in scores from among the foul party and declaring their adherence to democratic principles and measures, believing them best calculated to ad vance the welfare of our country. Mem bers of - Congress who have ever been firm and consistent Whigs Harrison electors ; and those deceived- by the cry of two dollars, a day and roast beef," are casting off from the party with no fixed principles, and zealously supporting Polk and- Dallas. It is a compliment to the cause in which we labor and the principles around which we, rally, That converts to the justice of our views, are not •impelled by mer- . cenary or selfish motives. On the con. trary, it is a truth which cannot be gain said, that those who renounce Democ racy for Federal Whigery are influ enced by other cau3es than a desire for the general welfare. Do the Federal party battle for the establishment of general principles..,hased .on justice, liberty and equal rights? . Henry Clay has peen declared to be the living ..em - bodimnt of whig principles," and eve ry candidate nominated for the Presi dency must necessarily be. Hence, those who know Henry Clay to be in favor of a United States Bank, who ex pect incase of the establishment of such an institution to reap a rich harvest„ though it inay 'beggar the widow and orphan, as did the late institution, ren der their support to him. These we know to be the-feelings which actuate some of those who come out in favor of Clay. But those who have no wish but for the general welfare are coming to the - support of the democratic candidate by thousands, declaring . that they never can lend their aid to elevate such a man to 4 the Presidency as Henry Clay.'No • • vember next will declare the sober second - thought of the people, always efficient and nevor wrong."

We have ever looked upon religious papers as befiefitting in .a high degree the cause of Morality and benevolitime. Though'.arranged in defence olvariciusi and widely differing sectiond incul— cating 'different beliefs, they usually abound with the teachi•ogs of the high est and purest morality and virtue, and carry' with them the - lessons and pre cepts of Leliginn and philanthropy, They are car,able of, and do, exercise a great amount of good in suppressing vice and giving / a direction to truth, and by leading Their readers from the things of earth. This we conceive to be , their_ legitimateliath, and it is with, much regrr,t that we have observed several le ding. religious papers leaving the high and holy duty assigned them in ame liorating the moral condition of man, and meddling in the affairs of the po litical world. This should be to them a forbidden subject. Weadmire the mor al chrracter of Theodore Frelinghuysen. ,br.t we say it:betrays a want ef consist ' envy in any religions paper to stoop from its elevation, and call , upon its reader's to, support him in preference to the Demovatic candidate. Do they forget that,he Is inseperably connected with Henry Clay.. or do they wink at the notorious profligacy of the one to secure the elevation of the other. . Yes ! ye who desire to see worthy men plac ed in high stations; vote for Theodore Frelinghuysen, place him in tire entire ly irresponsible post . of Speaker of the Senate, and elevate Henry Clay there by io the highest office in the world Henry Clay, the hero of four duels ; whose character is stained with the blood of the murdered Gilley (his murder was "but a nine day's bubble) ;" whose life has been one of notorious profliga cy and debauchery; who told Gov. Polk, "go home, god damn you where you belong:" whom thirst for office has allured and led on-for twenty years disregarding all the proprieties of life, and literally "stooping to conquer." If Theodore Frelinghuysen expected to receive the suffrages of the vir apes and moral portion of community for his unblemished character. he should have been very careful how he allowed his name to be associated with one whose very connexion would cast a shade upon his own fair fame. The voters of this country are not driven to such a depurate pass as this. Against the name and character of the Demo cratic Candidates the breath even of Federal Whiggery, (ever ready to cal umniate), has not dared to raise lasses picion, and the votes of moral and reli gious men can be cast for them without placing in the Presidential Chair a man of Henry Clay's depraved character. We care not whether these appeals come from the sacred desks Or from re , ligious papers they show a want of consistency, or a narrow and erroneous view of the influence extend by a Vice President of the United States. The name and character of Jas. K. POlk and Geo: M Dallas will suffer nothing by a comparsion with even Theodore" Frelinghuysen. -No deed or act' can be urged against them to rendtir them obnoxious to the moral and religious portion of community. nor do they require to " hide their lives be hind the screen of ahother's sanctity."

Answer: Be cause, they dare to exercise the un doubted prerogative of American citi zens, when naturalized—"worship God after the dictates of their own con sciences," and vote for the candidates of their choice. BE OR TOUR GUARD !—W a would caution democrats against the stories of an itinerant quack dentist, named Pat. tenon, who has been travelling through the southern townships of this county circulating and ' , promulgating the infa mous falsehood that Gov. Polk is a Roman Catholic. Such a reckless calumniator deserves to be made an ex ample of, on every occasion on which be utters this foul libel. Foul and in famous, because utterly false, and known to be so by those who assert it. ANOTHER FALSEHOOD REFIITED...••• We take pleasure in calling the atten tion of our readers to the following Correspondence. We publish the Letter from Judge Laporte with 'pleasure,' inasmuch as that gentleman is well and favorably known to our citizens, and ,it adds to the testimony heretofore given, (and by some of our opponents too) as to the high character and standing of the Democratic candidate for President. - ASYLUM. August Bth, 1844. bErri.r.miii—Yours of the , -Ist inst., is before me stating that reports are be ing circulated that, James K. Polk is a member of the Roman Catholic . Church, and not an attendent of any other, requesting me to give you what. ! ever information.l may possess in re's, Lion to the habits of that gentlemen. I was in congress with him during four Sessions and enjoyed a personal acquaintance with him during the whole of that period. I observed hurl as .1 regular attendant (on the Sabbath) of the Presbyterian church. and never hear tl it Intimated that he was a Catho, lic. As a man of strict moral habits he was indeed exemplary, and I never saw or heard anything against his prit vats reputation. _ Before closing ° this communication, I have thought it not improper to say a few words in regard to James K. Polk. as a pain man, altho' your enquiries do not extend to that particular point. I considered him as pure and con scientious a man in the discharge of his, public duties as any man that I became acquainted with during the eight years of my public life, he was consid ered a man of unquestioned ability by all parties, and the Bank of Whig par ty evinced their respect for his talents by bringing out their strongest man Horace Binney—to engage him in the great conflict on the Bank question during the Session of 1833,14, com monly called the Session." As chairman of the icommitlee of Ways & Means, during the 22d Con gress—a most ardous situation—bhe discharged his duties with industry and ability. As Speaker of thellouse dwring the 24th Congress I must say of hinn, with my friend John Banks, that.be •dis charged all the arduous dutkes of the chair with'a degree of liberality. impar tialitY; ability and dignity, / which did hbnor to himself, and also to the body over which he presided." / And, in that opinion; the present (whig) Governor of Massachusetts Geo. N. Briggs entirely cocurted. I remain yours, with much respect and esteem, JOHN LAPORTE. . - To Messrs. Harry Morgan, N. N. 'Betts. E. S. Clark. D. VanAcrcook. D. F. Barstow, and others. Ell Tndr4s Wu.sors Dom =The sen tence pulsed upon T.W. Port. for ,his defence of e qual rights, and his incarce ration in prison, hive called from the entire deniocriey of this Union, a sp . oti taneous burst of indignation at , the tyr rang which ccindemns a man in this en lightened age of the world to be the companion of felons for advocating equal rights.. " Can such things be, And overcome us, like a summer cloitd 'Without our special wonder." The following resolution ,passed by the Democratic Association of Towan da, at their meeting, Tuesday evening, Aug. Sl, was prefaced by some most eloq9ent remarks from David Wilmot Esq.,'and was carried unanimously : Resolved, That sympathise deep . 17 with the friends of equal rights in !Abode Island, and in an especial man ner with Gov. Thomas Wilson Dorr, in his present confinement, endured by him for his support of those liberal principles which seek the elevation of the masses, and asserts the political equality, of the poor and humble with the rich and arrogant, and claims for all citizen's without regard to property, the right of suffrage. [For the Bradford Reporter.] Teaching on the Tariff. No. 4. What is all this mighty, play of words I high tariff, low tariff, horizon tal tariff, protective tariff, discriminat ing tariff, a tariff of revenue, and no tariff at all. Is this to gull the people ; or is it another ape l ciet of whig song singing, more milks tan.sense : the people understand the meaning of the tariff too well to be gulled any longer by such speculatiens ; the merchant tucks the tariff on, she , speculator-tucks the tariff on, and in these days the in dustrious man. catil hardly move with out having the tariff tucked on to him ; the people are willing that sufficient funds should be raised for the support of government; but this tariffing to accumulate more money than is neces sary for government purpOses, and to be squandered by speculators, will no longer be tolerated by the people.— Democrats need not a large revenue to support a splendid government ; it be ing rested in the hands of the people, 'should never rise to grandeur; but economy, and frugality should charac terize their whole proceedings. We have sadly experienced the ef fects of tucking on the the tariff in more ways than one. Benedict Arnold tuck ed the tariff on, when he turned traitor and sold his country. John Adams, , al though a good whig in the American cause, was lost , to the principles of de. mocracy, and sought for a high hand ed aristocracy; Daniel Webster, with his associates Of the Hartford Conven tion, sought to dictate terms to democ racy ; the federal party in the last war, endeavored to' put down democracy, rejoicing at the success of the British arms, l and by , throwing their influence in favor of the enemies of our country,. and Henry Oay, by an infamouoar-' gain and sale.l cheated the people for four years ouof the President, of their choice; all t hese have only been dif ferent modes of tucking on the tariff. Who are those endeavoring toldivide and distract the people ? Shurely not the demOcrate, for a government itself divi dedl against d( cannot stand ; then it is an enemy who has done all this.— a, then the federalists, host of names, all under First the tori' then, comes the nine cloven foot, Washingtonians, I - no party men, Antimasons, the best men party, lit) cau cus cus party, federal I republi4an party, Abolitionist party, and at last to' op off the heap, all anial gamated into a whig party, now array ed against D mocracye and determined to tuck on the Tariff. First, an Uni ted States Bdik to regulate the curren cy, giving thig important branch of the government- into the hands of twelve men. Second, to squander the revenue, by dividing the public lands among the states, and finally to make way for a . high Tariff t(1) make up the deficiency occasioned ''y such a course_ of pro ceedings.
