tish Fund Holders,
By one of those queer accidents which
sometimes occur,_ a curious correspon
dence has beeddropped out of the mail
bag. There are some secret of a po
litical character whiCh we-apprehend
were never intended for publication in
the Plebeian; but these epistolary effu
sions are such precious Morceaux, that
we cannot refrain from giving them Pub
licity. We do not vouch for their au

judge for himself.
• LONDON, July Ist, 1844. ,
To Messrs, B.—, B.—, & co.
Your atithOrized agents from The
National Democratic Whig Clay Club,"
ha3e been in London for some weeks.
Every attention has been shown to
them. They have visited the Towe i r,
tlit Zoological. Garden and Tom Thumb
saw the Queen take a walk with Prinde
Albert, and the Prince of Wales had - la
little hoop. They had the honor, like
wise, to pull off their hats to the King
of Saxony, as he went
. to the Club
House; if they had been detained one
moment longer 'at Barrings; these gen
tlemen might have returned to the Uni
ted States without this to boast of. =Ela
m business. Representing as we do,
the Britishltond Holders, we feel bound
to "act in this delicate matter with the
greatest caution. The character and
respectability of the American gentle
men delegated, no doubt is the best that
could be selected. and their propositions
were listened to with attention and well
weighed by us, and finally have been
acceded to upon certain- conditions.
which it becomes my duty now to in
form you. The delay upon our part
arose from some preliminary steps as a
precautionary measure, absolutely ne
cessary to be taken to quiet the fears
of some of our capitalists and bond hol
ders, who have been severely bitten- in
I your Bank transactions. Those mea
sures of precaution are merely to be
certain that the money expended out of
that fund shall be appropriated to the
legitimate- purpose for which it was
' raised, and to none other to wit : to aid
the election of a Whig President, who
wilt,strenuously oppose the annexation
of Texas to the United States, and ad
vocate the dissemption of the State
Debts.-
The title ofyour party, Democratic
Whig," has given scme trouble, for
many here are not as well acquainted
with you as we are, and - with some dif
ficulty we explained to the suspicious
that it was all polititical gammon, a
mere cloak to ccrver,the old blue light
Federalists, who at present are quoted
at i a discount; that your party had as
little of the Democracy in its composi
tion as the , Queen'a 'household;-that
you were in reality made up of specu
lators, Abolitionists, Scotch weavers,
with a strong sprinkle of honest men,
duped into the belief that they are pat
riotic. -I have the pleasure to say that
these fears upon that point, have been
entirely banished.. Another very great
difficulty in thepriy of negotiation was,
that when yoult into power, a high
protective Tariff would be a cardinal
measure with your administration—as
many of our capitalists and bond hold
ers are manufacturers, they kicked hard
against it. But we soon convinced
them of that's being another gammon of
the same kidney with the former. Mr.
Clay's speeches in the South happily
came to hand, and were conclusive up
on that point, for we discovered no
difference between his declaration at
Raleigh and the other fellows letter.
As'Jor placing four millions in the
hands of your clubs and their agents, I
. have most unequivocally to say to you
it cannot be. We have much at stake'
in this matter. What guaranty have
we that it would not be divided amongst
a few demagogues or leading partisans.
Rememberyour Bank operations. We
have appointed and delegated authorii- -
ed British paid agents, under the di
rection of paid counsel, whose fidelity
in such matters have been tried here in
Many a parliamentary canvass, who will
see that the money is expended under'
their own • eyes for the legitimate par.
poses to wit, the purchasing of corrupt
politicians and presses, hiring of effi
cient writers, the bribiry of Governors
and members of your State Legislature's,
and paying trm spepses of your travel
,
iv, orators.
There are already in the United
States some` Mr or 'five hundred indi
viduals of true fidelity to Great. Britain,
with whom we hold constant commu
nication : trnt l you will receive by the
.
next steamer a fresh supply'of men of

edge, 'who will hei' stationed at the fol

their certificates. !a - which-is affixed the

One at-Chatlestotii S. C.; as his duties

ample funds ;"•Eight in Ohio; Six -in
Baltimore 'and . '•Washington, 'to -corre
spond with a very distinguished indi
vidual in'Boston ; Ten in Philadelphia;
two to act as paymasters: and eight to
see rair play there. A-great many ex.
cellent and smart men of that place have
volunteered their services ; orone ortwo
have•been well naid for services ren-
defied at Harrisbutg, and will still be
continued in the service, that place be-
ing the head-quarters ofWhiggery, and
some of the leaders particularly expert
in all matters of financiering, the num-
ber you will concur with us, is not too
great. In New York we - have three au
thorized agents long established, who
are . paid by the,.year in t
,quarterly pay
ments, in whom we place implicit con
fidence—though.the bit - purchase of a
newspaper there was Useless and extra
vagant. He had guaranteed to come
out about the 29th of July, and I have
no doubt, will fulfill his, promise. His
squibs therefore against British influ
ence and his articles in favor of Texas
are all garinmou. We, who understood
the thing, fancied we saw the editor
whilst penning them, with his quill in
.one hand and thumb of the other to the
point of his nose, the fingers perform
ing the while curious evolutions by way
of a pleasing accompaniment.
Now the amount of the bonds ihthe
hands of British holders is two hundred
millions,. or thereabouts. There is very
little prospects of our realizing any por
tion of this immense capital—more es
pecially as many of your States are ut
terly bankrupt and some have even re
pudiated—unless your General Govern
ment assumes the debts of the States ;
that your party in ease of election,
guarantees to - do. The British bond
holders are perfectly satisfied, to take
your piiblic laud as a collateral securi
ty for the payment of the principal.—
That great national domain can , easilv,
by distribution among the States, be
transferred to us by the 'several States
as a collateral security, or by the way,
of.a trust mortgage for the payment of
principal & interest. That is all settled
and agreed' npon—we therefore freely
dedicate four millions of dollars to be
expended in the United ,States for the
purpose aforesaid, and though a large
sum of money, yet a, perfect trifle in
comparison with the great ulterior bene
- fit to be derived by the expenditure.—
This course might be objectionable in
Europe, amon,git old and well estab
lished'moriarchies, but we hold a re
public to be no goiernment at all, a
presumptuous experiment, the sooner
overthrown the better; any mode,
therefore, by which that laudable re
sult can be obtained is considered praise
worthy.
We have instructed our agents in no
instance to waste this fund by an at
tempt to bribe a democrat. You may,
by possibility find one or two, perhaps
three or more as Was the case in Penn
sylvania, but it resulted in no good.
The men lost their influence, and did
us wore harm titan good.
Those foolish and infatuated people,
the Democrats, have notions at total va
riance with our policy, and still vener
ate that horrid old man who prevented
Packenham from getting possession of
New Orleans in 1815, and who still
promulgatei his opinions froni his Her
mitage, with all _the enthusiasm and
spirit of youth.
Those fellows have a sort of—l don't
know how to describe it better than by
calling it a sort ranz de vaches" feel
ing—which prompts them to prefer
theit coqntry's glory and honor to their
own private emolument. What an un
accountable fanaticism. Let those
wretcheitalone--go at the right fel
lows.
There are many reasons superadded
to those already mentioned, why weqn
this side of the water should wish suc
cess to your—what do you call.your
selves ? Whig 'Republican National
Democratic party
Radicalism • is gaining ground very
fast. in . Europe.. The,-United States is
a.sstiniinga powerful station among the
nations of the -earth. So long as we
can control-you with our money there
is ho fear, but with the Democrats we
never cartexpect any sympathy. F.ng
land has declared it to 'be her policy
[see Lord Aberdeen's pill] to put down
negro slavery in all parts of the,world
.—lndia excepted. Now if these Polk
and Dallas should be eleCted. possibly',
as - a retaliatory ineasure,_ -America 'may
declare it to be`lier'poliey` tci put down
all over the world, all Kings, Dukes,
Lords, Marquises,,and such like., A.
war between 'a gro wing e and Powerful
'Repiibliei and our qncierit institutions
'might be a serious one.
We once had our streets and alleys
crowded with the beggarly ; nobility of
France, and one son of , n
,king cleaned
boots and taught sehobl ; not to men
tion the quantities of heads of Dukes
and Lords that were kicked about like
turnips. What has happened once may
happen again, and the scene
,might 'be
changed from France to England. The
bare thought of Prince Albert's being a
barber to gain his livelihood makes one
shudder. Besides our nobility could
not work at an honest calling. Take
away from them their parks and palaces,
and divide them among the people,
and the poor creatures would 'actually
starve.
We have no,word to express our un
qualified delight at the riots it Phila
delphia, especially when the Irish are
implicated. We derive great pleasure
from the perusal of those scenes. Go
on, it pleases us. The mail is closing.
In haste. your serv't.
ASHLAND ASHBURTON.
14INDOIC, July; 1844.
To. Messrs. -11\ & Co.
Gentlemen—since our last, of the
Ist instant, a steamer has arrived, which
has brought us full news from'the Uni
ted States. Our correspondents give
us the most alarming accounts of the
State of public feeling there. They ap
pear-to think Clay and Fidaliqgdauson's.
(If I have. mis-spelt the last gintleman's
name, you will pardon) chance to be at
least 25 per cent. below par, and in
deed after a careful examination of the
numerous public prints, I should say
the article Would 'inery short time
be quoted as - unmarketable. Polk and
Dallas stock is rising in an unpreceden
ted manner. Either your friends must
have deceived you, or you-were duped
into the belief that Clay and Harrisop
were the same people.
Write to us at otiCe upon this subject',
and relieve the minds of the contribu
tors to the fund of four Millions. Be
frank, and suffer not 'yourselves to be
deceived.,
The impression amongst the knoW
ing ones is, that Polk and Dallas will
get the following States, and heavy bets
are passing-here :
POLK
Massachusetts
Connecticut
Rhode Is!anti
Vermont
Maine 9
New Hampshire 6
New York 36
Pennsylvania 26
Virginia 17
South Larolina 9
Georgia 10
Alabama s • 9
Louisiana 6
Arkansas 3
Mississippi 6
Illinois 9
Michigan 5
Missouri 7
Tennessee 13
That is the last estimate sent here by
our agents, who are paid too well to
.deceive us.
Why, they could beat you after,ta
king one of the largest, or a half dozen
of the smaller States. However, mo
ney is omnipotent! we will resist till
we hear from you. •
Yours, in haste,
ASHLAND ASHBURTON,
President of Committee of British
Ftind Holders.
The Disappointment.
A young Yankee who had formed an
attachment for the daughter. of a rich old
farmer, and after agreeing- with his
bonnie lassie," went to the old fellow
to ask consent, and during the ceremo
ny, which was an awkward one for
Janathan, he whittled away at a stick.
The old man watched the movements
of the knife, at the same time continued
to talk of the prospects of his future
son-in-law,.as he supposed, until the
stick was dwindled down to nought.—
He then spoke as follow's, s! you have
a fine property. you have steady habits,
good enough looking, but , you can't
have my daughter ! . Had 'you 'made
something, no matter what,'f that stick
you have whittled away; you, could
have had her. As it is, yo . cannot.—
YOur property will go as th stick did,
i
little by little, until all is gone, and
your family reduced to wa t. 1 have
read your character—you have my an
swer." Jonathan conveyed the unhap
py news to his,fair one, whoafter hear
, ing .ihe story . , burst out a "crying,"
sayitig. " Why you carnal fool, you,

f 9 LANCASTER, 20th July, 1844
1 DEAR SIR :--1 have this moment re
ceivedl yours of the 18th inst., and has
ten!
to give it an answer.
Yon inform me that a certain Mr.
Van Wagener of Poughkeepsie; in the
course of his remarks beforefa political
meeting at your place, stated that in one
of my speeches before the Senate in
1840.'1 had said :—Mechanics and
workingmen in ,this country had too
much yages—that they had meat for
breakfast, meat for dinner and meat for
supper—that in Russia the same class,
only had meat once in two or three
months, and that' they were fat; Sleek.,
and happy—that mechanics in this
country were. as well fed as gentlemen,
and even had servants, workiu,g girls,
in their families.”
If you had not informed me that these
remarks seemed to be received with
great approbation by the meeting, I
should not have supposed that an audi
ence could be found in the United States
who would for a moment believe' that
any Senator, not a candidate for Bed
lam, could have justly exposed himself
. .to the contempt and abhorrence of all
mankind by uttering such wicked non,
sense. I need scarcely Way that I never
used such expressions, in public or in
private, nor any other language-bearing
the most remote resemblance to them.
Front beginning to end they are a sheer
fabrication, and their author deserves
to be branded as a base public slanqr-

On the contrary, so far from having

advice, was bound an apprentice to a
trade and is at the present moment a

choice, not necessity. I have thus af

the one political party or the other,

in the northern edition. According to
the Globe, both editions were printed
at one office, and in doing them up . to'

they made rather a serious blunder by
sending 'several packages of those de
