a doubt that if James K. Polk can be
defeated with the aid of meney from
England, it will be done, v.ren though
it should require 10,000,P.00 of dollars.
The several states are indebted to
Capitalists in England to the amout of
fifty millions. I.t. is not now worth
twenty-five tuqions. The BOND Hot.-
DEM of Engla'ild are assured that if Clay
is elected, 'le revenue arising from the

the FIRST DAY OF NOVEMBER. You
have achieved a great, a glorious vie-
TORY ; not only have you triumphed
over the federalists, but their new allies
the Natives. In , the flush of this vic
tory, we beseearyou by the love you
owe to your country, forget not that
the DECISIVE day is AT BAND. Increase
your exertions; be active; be vigilant.
Let there not be a Moment's delay
in effecting a perfect organization of
the
,party 'in each township. The vi
gilance cominittees should be active.—
We advise them • to visit each schobl
district in .their township ; appoint
meetings in those districts ; have with
them copies of the assessment, and
make out a perfect register of every
democratic voter ; and be sure that not
one of them fail to be at the polls on
election dar.
- -The ,crisis is becoming more and
more Important ; and the danger of
frauds on: die ballot box to secure the
election'Of Henry Clay. more and more
alarming. _Nothing will so effectually
prevent ch4ting the;lpeople out of their
rights, as vigilance on the part of the
honest yeomanry.
MlLLERtsn.—This singular fanati
cism has again been raging to a. great
extent. The inhabitants of our bor
ough were warned'hy a notice pasted
in the Post Office, that the end of time
was nigh at,hand, and Wednesday last
appointed for the consumation of all
,things. In , the cities, this delusion has
made many converts, who forsoolLev-
errkind of businessyslint up their shops,
and awaited the coming on the 23d in)
full faith. The world however, with
all Sits lolly, fun, wickedness and wit,
wags on asusual, as it has, and may for

old monster failed, whey at the zenith

BRIBERY & CORRUPTION
The Clay coons of Philadelphia city
have grown positively desperate. They
are aliving exemplification of the adage,
that "those whom ,the Gods have
doomed to destruction, they first make
mad." if ever politicians in the world
'have fitted themselves for 'Bedlam. the
unscrupulous city coons are in that
dilemma. They first despatched a be
vy of traveling spouters into . the interior,
to seduce the democracy by their irre
sistible eloquence! We knew that this
was anticipating mighty effects from
monstrous small causes, and so the re
sult hasproved. They next covered
the earth
_with lying hand-bills and
electioneering pamphlets, defaming the
characters of the democratic-candidates,
and coaxing the honest yeomanry to
turn whigs. Their public: lions exci
ted derision only. Fading themselves
shamefully foiled in all those effortsand their corrupt alliance in Philadel
phia annulled by bn indignant people,
they next abused the democrats In the
true tory slang of 1800, stigmatizing
them as an "ignorant rabble." Their
abuse, like their praise, was received
with merited indifference.
The last resort of whiggery is alike
discreditable, add will prove alike urta
vailiug. Imputing corruption to the
masses, similar to that which actuates
themselves, they hive now hit Upon
the miserable expedient of carrying the
election by the liberal use of MONEY !
A few years
, since, one of the* accredit•
ed-organs in Philadelphia, uttered .the.
disgraceful sentiment. that "where all
other arguments fail, MONEY , CAN
BE USED." ' l pon thin, immoral axi
om, they are 'no O. acting. They have •
conceived the' grovelling idea that the
Imo* -of 'Pennsylvania . car Abe BRIB
ED into the support of Clay ' They
true accordingly raised. by stibscrip
-tion, from among the merchant princes
of •Philadelph r ia, Boston, Baltimore. and

spective, counties, to begin the work of
bribery. One is traversing, the North.

Since writingthe foregoing we' have

AN HONEST OPINION.—Major Noah,
a leading whig editor in 1840, and now
editor of the N. Y. Sunday Times, a
neutral paper, says
:
We read 100 papers daily, and can
not be mistaken in publie opinion, when
we say that Polk and Dallas are run
ning ahead with the rapidity of light
ning. and yet we can get bets on Clay;
but then the Whigs are a sanguine par
,ty, always looking at the bright side,
and carried forward more.by their anx
ious hopes and wishes than any posi
tive indication of success."
NEW JERSEY OFFICIAL VOTE.—The
Newark Daily Advertiser contains a
complete list of the votes for Governor
in every township in the State,,compil-,
ed from the official returns. The ma
jority for Stratton, the Whig candidate,
is 1378. The increase of votes upon
the Presidential election in 1840 is 10,-
145. The Abolition vote, for Johns
than Parkhurst, stands thus :—Hudson
4, Burlington 5, Gloucester 9, Morris
33, Essex 15, Camden I—total,o7.
RUNAWAY.—The Springfield Repubr
lican says that Lewis C. Munn, - for
merly editor of the Democrat, in Green
field Mass., has taken leg bail, and is
not to be found. He was elected Town
Treasurer last spring, and it is reported
the Treasury is minus over $6OO. We
hope it is not true.
RESIGNED.—An officer of the customs
of New York, who has becOme a be
liever in Millerism, have sent his res
ignation to the - collector. He expects
a better situation shortly under Failitr
Miller.
AJORlTY.—Francis R. Skunk's ma
jority for Governor is 4,307 ; Joshua
Hartshorne, for Canal Commissioner,
has 6,330 majority. The majority for
the sale of the Main Line, is 21;433.

imposture contrived there forlthe . pur

this base attempt
LETTER.
" NASIIVILLE, Tenn. Oct. 3,1544.
A most extraordinary partizan
movement on the part of our political
opponents in Pennsylvania and Ten
nessee has just come to light 'harp. ,'A
plot has been laid by them .to get au
imposing array of names to false state
ments concerning Gov. Polk and his
sentiments on the tariff, and WOcircu
late their slanders thus boldly put forth
by numbers of their partizans at so late
an hour of the campaign, as to prevent
the possibility of an authoritative and
satisfactory contradictidn.
.. It seems that some of the Pennsyl
vania whigs have given notice to - our
Governor Jones, and his unscrupulous
whig associates, that if they will ob
tain a long list of signatures as spbscrib
ing to a declaration that they (living
near. Governor Polk, and having heard
him speak in public,) knOw that: he
(Polk) is a free trade man, for a hori
zontal tariff, anti-protectionist. and all
thatiort of stuff, it will be of essential
service to Whiggery in Pennsylvania—
that this declaration must be signed by
hundreds and thousands, if possible, in
Tennessee. taking care to obtain the
names of all persons residing here •who
are acquainted in Pennsylvania, and
particularly all our whig merchants
who trade with Philadelphia, Pitts
burg, &c. •
It is a very easy matter for our
-Governor Jones to furnish his whig
friends of Pennsylvania with any decla
ration that will suit them best concern
ing Gov. Pold or his sentiments, and
hundreds of his unscrupulous crinies
woulddoin hint in proclaiming it "true
as holOvrit."
4. You may depend upon, the fact that
a batch of ingenious slanders, calculated
to affect Gov. Polk in Pennsylvania, is
already made up here, agreeably to the
order received" from the Pennsyl
vania partizans—that it has been hawk
ed about in a private manner amongst
the faithful, for several days past, ob
taining all sorts of whig signatures—
and that it is to be sent on to Pennsyl
vania, to be used there on the eve of
the election, at an hour altogether too
late to be overtaken by an authoritative
contradiction from this quarter.
"This is one of a series of tricks in
coqtemplation by our .oppOnents from
this point, after the fashion of the
‘. Roorback hoak." Be on your guard
—warn the committees—throw out a
timely word of caution to our friends
in every quarter of the State. It has
been planned in secret—it is gotten up
in secret, and it is to he carried out in
secret. They are calculating_ upon
powerful effects which they expect it
to produce, and we must rely upon the
press of Pennsylvania to forestall it—
to expose the system of slandera priori,
and prepare public
. opinion to,receive
and reject it with scorn and indignation
when it shall make its appearance."
&Immo CAL AMITY .=—The thielling
house of i Mr. Thomas G. Meredith,
situate - on the outskirts of the village of
Morley, in Canton, N: Y., was de
stroyed by fire on Tuesday last, and
two of , his children, one a boy about
two years and a halfold,j , and an infant
daughter about eleven mOnths old, per
ished in the flames. A 1 part of a bed
was the only property laved from the
ruins, and Air. Meredith, besides the
terrible bereavement in hie loss of his
children, is 'left almost utterly destitute
and homeless.

denies the story of hist ithdrawal from
the canvass as a candid te for Congress
from the first district—ai.story gotten up

by some of his Whig riends as a sort
of apology for their tr acliery towards
him 'on the day of elec ion.

THE MILLER FANATICTS3L—Lewis
C. Gunn, a well educated, young man,
has given up the situation of principal
of the Boy's .Public Grammar School,
a berth worth 900 dollars pee. annum—
and become a follower of Miller. Be
had only held the situation one wcel:.

lowing remarks, to which we refer any
person, ,who for a moment entertains a
poutit ' that
.Pennsylizattia , will go for :
POLE and DALLAS : .
We once more assure our 'distant co
laborers, that there is not a Spate in the
Union, whose Electoriai votes are cer
tain- for Pout and DALLAS than are those
of Pennsylvania. ; Theyeceitt election
has placed this' event beyond the pale
of even a remote contingency. • Feder
alism left 'not a - stone unturned to elect
Markle, and it was openly pfoelaimecl,
thatias the State went for Governor, so
would it go fur President. What mon
ey,. time, and labor could achieve, to
• • -
eiteet the defeat of Mr.,Shunk,iiicts ex
erted, and we declare it as. ddr convic
tion, that theie were not one "hOndred
of dur opponents in the wficile State,
who bolted from their Sta le nontina-
Lions
On the other hand, Mr. Shun': lost
probably from 10,000 to 1 2 ,000 votes
by various local causes, which canna
possibly affect Polk and Dallas. The
absurd flag and bible stories arrayed in
a shape so plausible as almost to defy
refutation, enlisted, die Native Ameri
can" vote against Mr. S. 0,2 ma
sse.—
But it accomplished even dore. Hun
dreds of well-meaning Chr?tans, mis
interpreted Mr. Skunk's tter in rela
tion to the 'use of the scriptures as a
• I
school book, and were rendered either
lukewarm or hostile. Can it be pre
sumed, that these men will now falsify
all' their-professed reverence-for the-doc
trines of revelation, by .supporting a
man fot President of the United States,
who lives in the habitual," violation of
them all ? Can it be ,presumed. that
they will now vote for Henry Clay—
the Gambler, the profane swearer, the
Sabbath-breaker and Duellist ? Nev
er. Hundreds of honest and conscien
tious men, who have heretofore acted
with our opponents. will either subject
themselves to voluntary 'Aisfranchise
ment, or if they exercise the right of
suffrage at all, will vote for JANES K.
POLK.
The consequence will be, a large in
crease of the Democratic vlote in all the
counties, and a corresponfiincr decrease
of the federal vote. Listen, for exam
ple to the Columbia Star 'if Friday. It
says :
Many Democrats di not vote for
Mir Skunk, under the imtression that
he was a Catholic. Therefore. we,now
pledge the Star Af the North" good
for 1,700 majority for P lk and Dallas
in November."
