Are you Assessed?
If not, attend to it immediately—lose not a
moment. Examine the assesment in each ward
in the city, and each township in the county, and
don't go away until you see your name there. The
law requires each voter to be assessed at least ten
days before the next general election, and pay a
State or County Tax, otherwise he will be deprived
of his vote. Democrats, be sure and see to this
matter before the Sd day of October.
Supply Yourselves with Tickets.
We request our Democratic friends in the vari
ous townships to call at the office of the Daily Post
immediately, and supply themselves with tickets.
This matter should not be neglected, by auy means.
Facts! Stubborn Facts!
As we anticipated, tome of Mr. Hampton's
friends yesterday denied the statement made in the
Post, in regard to that gentleman being employed
as counsel on one side, and receiving a fee from
the other. Many Nvbigs who knew Mr. H.'s pen
chant for monei, considered it just such a transac
,lion as he would be guilty of. "Facts are -stub,
born things," and those who hate the truth are
ever ready to stile facts. We invite Mr. limp
ton's friends to call at this office, and we will take
pleasure in showing them the - documents upon
Which our article was predicated. Unless they do
this we shall take it for granted that they are afraid I
to go into an investigation of the charges. If Mr.
'Hampton possesses half the candor that he does
cunning, he will at once come out over his own
proper 'signature and set himself rains in curia.
As the matter now stands, the public must look
uponliim as a disgraced and dishonored man; and
if he again appears at the bar, he hat more brass
in his composition than his Prototype, the celebra
ted "Oily Gammon."
Some persons may perhaps think this is a small
matter to introduce into a public newspaper, but
we are of a diarent opinion. It is the right as
well as the duty of the newspaper press to canvass
the acts and opinions of candidates for office. If
a man in his professional capacity, has done a dis
graceful act, the public should know it, and then
they will be enabled to place a proper estimate
upon his morals. We know that hard things are
often said of the laWyers, and some suppose any
foul transaction they may engage in is a part of
their profession. But this is a mistaken idea. A
lawyer can be expelled from the bar at any time
for unprofessional conduct. How far Mr. Hamp- ,
ton has laid himself liable to be thus summarily
treated we leave to the public to judge.
We shall recur to this matter again.
The Compromise Act and the Tariff of 1816.
The ridiculous rodomontade of the federal pa
persist regard to the disastrous operations of the
Tariff of 1840, before it has actually gone into op
eration, is enough to frighten half the old women
in christendom! We do not pretend to assert that
that Tariff is perfect in all its features—fur Imm it.
It has many radical defects, which' at the next ses
sion of Congress can be easily corrected by the
democratic majority. But we do say that it comes
nearer being correct in all its detail's than the Corn
promise Act of 1832, of which Henry Clay was
the father, or the Tariff of 1542., jvhich the whig
party has adopted as their own de.# bantling.
Ever since the organization of our Federal Gov
ernment, there has been no question that has enga ,
ged 'the attention of its citizens to half the extent
as that of the Tariff. The discussion of this ques
- tibn has given rise to no little excitement and bad
feeling,—it has distracted and divided parties—and .
hid it not been for the lionlearted JACKSON, it
would have broken assunder the chains that bind
this mighty union. The question should at all
times be - discussed calmly and d;spassionately.
The,Compromise Act, of vvhichlthe Ajax Tele
mon of whiggery, lIENur CLAY, 4 - as the founder,
was in existence from 1833 to 1845, or about nine
years. It was an ad valortni Tariff, as every per
son is aware who has ever examined its features.
It af f orded only a protection of 20 Per cent., which
is about one third less than the Tail''' . of 1846.
Speaking of the Compro s mise Act, 3r. Clay said
'"What are the other principles! of this act?—
Fist, there is the principles that a fixed ad valorem
duty shall prevail and he in force iat all times
For one, .I am willing to abide by that principle.
There are certain vague'notions afloat as to the util
ity and necessity of specific duties and discrimina
tions,which am persuaded arise from a want of
a rigt understanding, of the subject. We haVe
bail the ad valorem principle practically in fore'e
ever since the compromise act was passed, and
there has been. no difficulty in administering, the
duties of the treasury on that principle.
"'lt was necessary first to ascertain the value
of the goods, and then. to impose th r e duty on them;
and from the commencement of the act to this
. .
day, the ad valorem principle has been substantial
ly in operation. Compare the difference between
the specific and ad valorem system duties, and I
maintain that the latter is justly entitled t th.
preference.' ''-24 Mallory's Life of Clay .518, and
2d Grrdy 537.8.
This is all very fine, indeed, and scows a striking
difference between the opinioAs of !the great Ken
tucky Statesman and his most obsequious admirers
in this region. Mr. Clay, on more than one ocda
sion, avowed his sentiments in favor of the Com
prOmise Act—in fart, on that measure he Staked
his political fortunes--he adhered mit with perti
nacious fidelity. Beforeleaving the ; Senate, on the
15th of February, 1842, he offered a resolution de
claring,"that in the adjustment of rti Tariff to raise
an amount of fat nty-sik millions of revenue, the
principles of the Cornpronxise aet generally should he
adhered to; and:that especially a maximum rate of
ad valorem duties should be established, which there
ought to be as little departnre from as possible."
Agam, in his Southern speeches and letters during,.
the late Presidential . campaign, iNlri Clay continu
ed to eulogise the Compromise Act in the' most
fuleome manner. In a speech made at Charleston
MEM=
S. C., in 'April, 1844, more than eighteen months
after' the pasiage - of the Tariff of 1892, he declared
that "he had been' active itt..effecting the compro
premise of 1833,", and "he felt it an obligation of
honiir 96 adhere to it in good faith, and be chaV
.
lenge(' the - .leost diligent search of the records to
strew, that he bad 'ever countenanced its violation
in:the slightest particular; nay more be was bold
to say that during his entire service in Congress
since, there never had been an effort to violate it
which had not met with bis prompt and earnest
resistance."
We might give many more extracts from Mr.
Clay's speeches and letters in favor of the Com
promise Act, but the above will answer our pur
pose for the present.' We do not deny that Mr. I
Clay also declared himself in favor of the Tarifirl
of 1842., in his private letters to his friends in the
North. That was a part of the' legerdemain he I
practiced for the purpose of reaching the Presi
dential Mansion. His celebrated Texas and Anti
Texas letters were of the same family.
But our object at this time is to draw a contrast
between Mr. Clay's Compromise Act, and the
Tariff 0f \ 1896, which has been so violently de
nounced bY, the opposition prints. Both Tariffs
are on the a4'taloran principle, but the latter af
fords a protection of 33} per cent. more than Mr .
Clay's bill. We are indebted to our excellent

Arthur Brown, Jr
By the following extract froni a letter to a gen
tleman is this city, dated Cincinnati, Sept. 19th,
it appears that Arthur Brown, Jr., has been arrest
ed, and may shortly Le expected in our city:
"This day a letter from Pittsburgh was handed
me, requesting the arrest of Arthur Brown, Jr., for
obtaining goods under false pretences. The letter
was accompanied with the affidavit of Mr. —,
made before the Mayor, together with a newspa
per description, and reward for his apprehension.
With the assistance of a gentleman who came
down on the boat with him, and two others, I was
enabled to apprehend a person who answered the
description, and who passed on the boat as Brown.
We also found in the trunk a Bank-book of depos
ites made in the Exchange Bank of your city.
whjch fully sustained the facts alleged in the affi
davit of Mr. —. The evidence is so strong that
the Mayor has ordered him to be committed, and
the Marshal tells me he will convey him on to
Pitsburgh to-morrow morning."
Tursrns.—Tbe theatre, on Tuesday evening ,
was better attended than it has been any evening
this season. The t- Gamester," Beverly by Mur
doch, and Stukely by Oxley. was decidedly the
finest piece of acting ever witnessed in this city.
Mr. Foster, Miss Clara Ellis, and Miss. Porter ac
.quitted themselves admirably. In the farce Mr.
Owens was as funny as ever—he is a fine actor and
a great favorite—the Manager should bring him
out oftener. •
This evening the "Gamester . ' and "Inconstant' :
are repeited for the benefit and last appearance of
Mr. Murdoch. Give Om a "crowiler."
NOTILE Exrt.oir.--Captain Thomas Harris, of 1 ,
the barque Peru, arrived at Boston, from Cron
stadt. fell in on the 13th ult., with the wreck of the
English brig Britannia, Captain Murray, bound
from Pursboro ' , N. S., for Wales, in a sinking con
dition. The wind was blowing a: heavy'gale, and
being laid to at the time, rendered the rescue of
l i
any lives very uncertain; but without thotight of
danger, after lying by her some time, hoping that
the weather would moderate, he ordered the boat
to be lowered,.and visited the brig three times,
finally succeeding in rescuing the captain, officers, -
and crew of said vessel.

Ple was so great that but one person would attend'
to put him in the ground, and he was then bundled
up in the bed clothes,. and all rolled into a hole
together, and covered up. During one of his par

UXITED STJTES SEYATE or 1817—The New
York Globe (Democrat) has the following *state
ment and estimate of the probable political stand•
ing, of the United States Senate, commencing after
the 4th of March, 1847:
"Of the whigs whose terms expire in 1817, suc
cessors have been elected to Evans, of :Maine; Cil
ley, of New Hampshire; and Barrow, of Louisiana.
The gentlemen elected are Jas. W. Bradbury, John
P. Hale, and Solomon U. Downs, all democrats,
-though it is doubtful how fur Ilalc will act with
the democratic party. The legislatures that are
to choose senators in place of Simmons, of Rhode
Island; :Mangum, of North Carolina; and Archer
of Virg inia, have already been elected. Simmons
and M angum will be succeeded by whigs, and Ar
cher by a democrat. Woodbridge, of Michigan;
and Jarnagin, of Tennessee, will in all probability
be succeeded by democrats, though it is said that
local causes may give Woodbridge a chance for
re-electioil. Davis. of Massachusetts; Clayton, of
Delaware; Miller, of New Jersey; Morehead, of
Kentucky, whigs; and Calhoun, of South Carolina;
Lewis, of Alabama; Chalmers, of Mississippi; Sem
ple, of Illinois; Ashley, of Arkansas-, Houston, of
Texas, democrats, will be succeeded by senators of
like politics; and the chances for re•clectiOn of
Berrien, of Georgia, bre about even.
“If the above statement prove correct, and the
whigs carry Georgia at the next election, and lowa
and Wisc'onsin come into the Union with demo
cratic Senators next winter, the Senate will stand
in the 4th of March, 184.7 4 90 democrats to 20
Whigs." •
Fatal Accident on the Erie Rad Road.—A pas
senger who came down in the special train which
Left Middletown yesterday morning, informs us
that at the crossing near Spring Valley, the loco
motive came in contact with a wagon in which
were two men and a boy, and that the two former
were killed the latter escapee unhurt. The
wagon halted for the almlar train to pass, and the
men not suspecting that there was 11 second train,
started the just in time to ensure their death. The
engineer gave the usual whistle before reaching the
crossing, but the men probably supposed that the

Since:the issuing of that d6ctiment;:itvortAnt and
bloody, events have,ensited history Vrtfich we
propose to lay befOre thQPublie.
•; On Sunday the 3d, the• posse left Carthage, and
encamped on the prairie, five. Miles north west of
that place.' . Here the ar t y 'remained 'under 'the
command •of. ;Copt: Singleton; until Tuesday, the
Bth inst.-, the Men being, anxious in the mean time.
.to be led on,
.and the .commander, retaining,therni
under the plea that the fcireerWas:mat sufficient to
take the city, and that they were not provided with'
the necessary artillery. •
It finally became evident that secret negotiations
were going on between the commander and Major
Parker, of Nauvoo, for a compromise: This dis
covery created a great sensathln imthe camp, and
came near breaking up . the army. When, however,
the proposition of compromise, ratified so far as
the commander was concerned, was submitted to
the officers, they unaniniousli . rejected it, on the
ground that it was a Mormon ruxe, intended to dis
tract the Antics, while theylidd no serious inten
tion of complying with their pledges.
The substance of this compromise was this:
The Mormons were to give up their arms to the
Governor's agent, to be returned when they lett
the State, which they were to do in sixty days; and •
in the meantime a force of fifty men were to be
stationed in the city, under command of an officer
appointed by the Governor, for, the purpose of ma
king arrests and preserving quiet. The Anties'
were to disband and go to their homes.
The men in camp were almost unanimously op
posed to this, for the reason that the Mormons had
uniformly proved treacherous,'; and . there was no'
provision made for enforcing a compliance with
the terms on their part.
This proposition being resecled, Capt. Singleton
withdrew from the command. !and Mr. Carlin irm
mediately appointed Col. Brockman, of Brown
county, to fill his place:s.,lnimeliately on taking
command, Col. Brockman; in a soul-stirring speech
to the men, assured them he would lead them for
ward, provided they would pledge themselves to
him not to destroy property Without his orders,'
and to obey him implicitly iii all things. This!
pledge was freely given. In fact, '-Old - Torn, - as!
he calls himself; is the stafT of the camp. and with
out
him it would have been impossible to bold
the men together. They all hie confidence in the!
man, and hence he can wield them to his wishes.
So soon as Col, Brockman took command, new
life was infused into the camp.
He immediately gave orders' for marching: and
accordingly, on Thursdak, the 10th, the army, num
bering about 70U men, ritarched towards Nauvoo. --
and encamped about three miles from the Temple. - PUBLIC MEETING
Soon after the camp was formed, it was found We, the undersigned, citizens of Fayette town

ted ground. winch Was kept until within a quarter
of a mile of the city. Its position now was about
200 yards to the north of the La Harps road.
A considerable body of ,Iloaittiotts with a can
non, was stationed just qt , the point where the road
leads into the city, under' o.lll.7 of a corndleld.—
These were soon routed by our nrtillery; but rallied
immediately in some houses nearly in front, from
which they fired their cannon.smeral tinies. Our
artillery immediately commenced playing on these
Louses, and did some execution; but nothing was
gained on the one hand—while on the other, we
lost about ZIP of our., a:OMM balls, wlticiy in the
end, was an important consideration
After this brash, the army de:ew off and efleattlp
fed on high ground, a little m the rear. Here it le•
mained unmolested for the night.
In the looming, aliciiil,7 o'clock, a (lag of truce
was sent to the city, with a demand liir an imme
diate surrender of the town, Linder the assurance
i that no property should he destroyed, or life taken-.
1 This was returned, about 19 o'rlock. with an an-
Iswer frorMll. Clifford. refusing imopliance.
11. e army was then drawn up in front of the
;camp, and a few guns tirecTfroto a breastwork the
Mormons had erected during the night, and the fire
vitis returned. Chic gun
. and company of Ilitle•
men were ordered to icinaii.sand employ the atten
tion of the men at these Nyorks, while the main
body wheeled to the left, Mid M quick lime, passed
down across to the La Ilsepe Mad. through acorn
field, and thence wheeled to tlih right through an
orchard to the town. Our aiiillery took position
in front, and the battle cemmenced. The artilie
ry on both sides played for about n4teen minutes,
when small arms vv eie.Leard Aunt the enemy on
theleft flunk from a cornfield.' Col. •Smitlfs regi
ment was immediately ordered to the left, and
drove the Mormons before thMn, and Col. Free
man's regiment was brought to the support of
the artillery. soon the engagement becaMe gene
ral. 'f he Mormons beingdivided in squares took
shelter behind houses and rioureil their shots in like
hail. Our men also took liosiMin under cover and
returned the lire mad hilly. t' i hir artillery routed
the Mormqns front 'several 'botlSes, when our men
advanced and took possession. The briskest kind
of a fire with small arms was kept up fur half an
hour, during which time our mem OL/ the left bteadi•
ly advanced on the enemy; but unfortunately our
cannon balls here gave out, aud it was impossible
to lead militia on to a charge in a body [yet sortie
squads in this fight did charge on houses tilled with
Mormons ; and drove them out, on a covered ene
my, it was found that we could ! advance no further;
and therefore the army was drawn off in good or
der, and in slow time retired t 6 the camp.
In this action we had about 500 men engaged,
and four pieces of artillery; 109 men ;and one piece
of artillery having been left at the camp for its
protection.
Our loss is seven men wounded—two or three
supposed to be mortally. Col.d"rnith, of the first
regiment, received a rifle ball, which passed through
his throat, between the larynx and the :esophagus.
The names of the other wounded, and the particu
ticulars of their wounds we did not hear; except
Mr. Thompson, of Fountain Green, Mounded in
the arm, and Mr. Ware, of Watsaw,.artillery, who
fell by his gum from a shot in the neck.
Must of our men, throughout the action, dis
played remarkable coolness anddetermination; and
we have no doubt did great execution. We be
lieve if our cannon balls had held out ten minutes
longer we should have taken the city; but when
the action commenced we had but sixty-one
The battle lasted from thetinie the first feint was
made until our men were drawn off—an hour and
a quarter: Probably there is not on record an in
stance of a longer cot:tinned militia fight.
The Mormons stood their grbund manfully; but
from the little execution dorm by them, we inter
that they Were not very cool or deliberate. Their
loss was, we learn from a gentleman who left the
city after the battle, fifteen men killed, and about
twenty wounded. Amongst the killed is the mas
ter-spirit, Captain Anderson, of!the Fifteen Shooter
Rifle Company. Their force iin the fight was
from three, to four hundred.; They had all the 'ad
vantage, having selected their own statierne, and
We were obliged to,:qake inch Os we could get,
sometimes our men could get'ino cover ; and the
artillery was all the time exposed, while theirs
was under cover. The Antiee are now in their
camp waiting en additional supply of cannon balls.
So soon as these arrive the ,attack on the city will
be resumed.
P. S.—Since the above was in type. we learp
that, our wounded men, with the exception of one
already dead, are doing well :L Col. Smith, it is
thought, will survive his wounds.

Crrr or SINGAPORE.—The English Wave at
length founded an establishment on the north-west
coast of Borneo, at the mouth of the river of that
name. They have obtained from the sovereign of
the independent kingdom of Borneo the right to
establish a station, destined to resemble their es
tablishment at Singapore; and in a few years this
settlement will be rising to as much importance as
this prosperous city. It is known that in 1519
Sir Thomas Raffles obtained permission to found a
settlement in a little Indian isle, between the south
east coast of Malacca and the isle of Sumatra.—
Now, at the end of twenty-seven years, this modest
establishment has become the city of Singapore,
containing 50,000 inhabitants, of whom 20,000 are
Europeans, and transact every year business to
the amount of one hundred and twenty millions.
In truth, when we compare the progress of Eng
land with the want of enterprise of our Govern
ment, we feel indignant and almost ashamed.

may be administeretbto children of the most ten
der age without producing thoSe injurious effects
upon the general health, which have always con
stituted the most serious objection to Vermifuges.
Their metallic bate is generally so violent in its
operation, that the system seldom recovers from
the shock until the patient has arrived at the years
of maturity or actually outgrOwn it. We know
several at this-moment whose constitutional, vigor
has been so completely paralysed by the injudicious
administration of metallic Verrnifuges While
young, that they are almost totally unfitted for
the transaction of ordinary business. The nick
