NV YLIE, Sec), The Whigs publicly deny that they are co-; operating with the Natives for the defeat of Shuck and Longstretb, and the election of Irvin and Patton; and affect great sympathy for our adopted fellow-citizens, and charge upon the Democrats of; Philadelphia city a bargain with the Natives there.t This is all gammon. The Whigs and Natives; united in 1544 to defeat Shunk—the Whig author ities of the city and county of Philadelphia did not ; interfere to stop the outrages committed by the: Natives upon the lives and property of the Catho lics—the packed Whig Juries of Philadelphia re.' fused to convict the Native rioters and murderers; mit° were arrested; and convicted an hishman for defending his own property, and sent him to the Penitentiary; from which he 'was released by a pardon from Governor Shunk, upon the recommem dation of the Judges who tried the case. For this act of clemency the Governor was denounced by' Whigs and Nati% es. The Whigs of Allegheny got up and paid for the false affidavits in relation to Governor Shunk and the Catholics:—they printed them in their papers and gave them circ,lation, with endorsements of the characters of the oath _makers. They disregarded the decencies and pro prieties of social life, and published the converse lions of Mr. Shunk in the house of a friend, on the 'Bible question. One of their most prominent and talented men %%rote the Constitution of the Native association for this county, and with nine hundred of his party, signed it. lithe Whig party did this portion of our fello w . citizens injustice, then let them, like honest men, come out and say so now. They denounced the Democrats for sustaining and:advocating religious toleration in 1814, and for adhering to the doc trines of the republican party of the revolution.— If they were in error and the democrats right,why not confess it? This they dare riot do; their "Native " allies would vote for the Native candi dates; and to defeat Governor Shunk they must hare the Native vote. The Whigs and Natives. At a Native meeting, at Cowan's tavern, in Baldwin township, on the 2.1 instant, Mr. M Gib. bonny, a whit, presided; and Thomas Varner, l Esq., the Chairman of the Whig County Commit tee, acted as Secretary. They kept it going, we are informed, all afternoon ; and had an adjourned meeting in the evening. The orators, were " Joe Barker" and Mr. Morgan, the Native candidate for Assembly. Does this not look like a Lillian of forces? Who ever heard of, a Democrat assisting at the meetings of Natives ' —keeping order that the ravi- - gs of Joe Baelier might be heard ' ca The Gazette of Saturday, referring to our statements in relation to the hostility of its party to the Irish and German emigrants, and adopted citizens of this country, says:—" We &sire neither to court their influence nor ihcir votes." 1)o not be at all alarmed, neighbor. Ire have never intimated that you had any such desire , and we do not think you are likely ever to be charged with it. You are much more anxious to court the smiles, and'. gain the support of "the rich and the wellborn' —those who, according to the old leaders of your party, "ought to have a permanent share in the gov erdment." Even if you Slaciuld make the attempt, it would prove an entire failure : for the Irish are not very easily cajoled, and the Germans know • your horrid antipathy to any thing " Dutch' ,_s,, , '~A ~e ~3 ~ ..~ They , are not likely to forget your slurs upon them, whenever you have had ' opportunity offered in one. of your "sketches."

The Congress of the United States authorized the employ ment of men to carry on the war, begun by Mexico, and ap. propriated money for their - support. Some of the purest patriots in the country are engaged in con ducting it to an issue ; and yet such is the language of the Federal press I al• The editor of 'the Gazette, who wrote down tidos Iscariot as the first Loco Foto ; and who is noW - theapologist of Mexico ; says that the cause of Democracy should r fall to the earth, or to some depth profound beheath it;" and all this be. cause We have told the tiuth about his party—their opposition to our adopted Citizens, and their perse tition of the Roman Cith'olics. • • ' •s- The recent rise in the rii•er will set coal afloat a• gain, and bring it down, lit now holds at 13c inihe market.—Cin.

'We cut the folli)vving article from the American of Saturday,,and pronounce the charge contained in it—so far as the Democratic party is concerned —to be infamously false: Whig!, be on your Guard. We have just learned of a (rick attempted to be played off by the Natives. They were this morn ing in the Market House diStributing tickets to the people from the country, "with all the Whig candidates for Assembly, but one—the name of Lewis C. J. Noble stricken off, and that of some Native substituted. One of the distributers of the false ticket was caught in the act. He excused' himself by saying that it was a Whig and Native ticket. No such ticket is known or recognised. The fellow on detection sloped. Since writing the above, one of the sheets have been 'brought to us, by which', we learn that it is partly a Native, and partly a Locofoco trick, or more probably a joint one of the two. Some of the tickets have the name oil "Joseph Bowman," and others that of "James B.lSawyer" substituted for that of Lewis C..k. Noble. We may therefore call it, what. it truly is, a "Native and Locofoco ticket." We have reliable authority for stating that these tickets were got up by members of the Whig par ty, and printed at the office of a neutral paper in this city; and one of the most prominent actors in the'business is a Mr. McPherson, who was a Whig delegate, from Indiana; township, to the Con vention, at which Mr. Noble:was nominated. We were told at the time, that several of the delegates to that Convention stated that they had voted for the nomination of Mr. Noble, to get Catholic votes for their ticket, but that they would not support him at the polls—and the !conduct of this Mr. McPherson looks as if they \were going to keep their nerd The American should not be so indignant at this opposition—by members of his own party—to Mr. Noble, because he is a member of the Catholic persuasion. In many of the election districts in this county, in 1814, %Olen a. Democrat went to the window to deposit his vote, the Whigs woull cry out, " There goes another Catholic vote—an other vote for Polk and theiPope ;" and yet the ed- I itor of the Amertran, it nbt the very. foremost, certainly the most recklessi in this crusade against the Catholics then, is now condemning his own peo ple—those who battled him shoulder to shoulder in the contest of IS.l.l—for scheming to defeat Mr. Noble. The Whig party cieated and fermented this religious prejudice, and it they can't manage it to their advantage now, when they de sire to head another course, it is no concern of ours. The Democratic paity, as a party, never has and never will mix upj religion %slat politics. In its faith, members of all religious sezts can meet on common political ground ; and in its num bers are embraced people di -all creeds. . . ; That Mr. Noble's name ik scratched off the Whig ticket, should rather be al muse of joy and great rejoicing on the part of thek merican. Look at the conduct of that journal in dO, when it published a gross and outrageous lib upon the Rev. Mr. O'Reiley. an eminent and Ivor by Catholic Priest ; and when an investigatiiin was desired by the friends of that gentleman, tiwhig and anti masonic jury refused to find a bill af indictment against the libeller. Turn over the fi le of that paper in IS.I-1, and see the vile and disg+ting attacks printed at that time against the people of Mr. Noble's creed. How can the author and pUblisher of these shame. less and truthless chars be indignant at the at tempt of his own people tc!, defeat Mr. Noble, who, we are free to sonless, is 1 5 worthy and good citi zen. He can't condemn Ihern, because they are ,honestly living up to the doctrines taught and practised by the whig party in times gone by. ; , ary• "A Catholic Lay an," an extract front whom appears in the gazette of Saturday, pro nounces it a lie that the Whig party in any man' ncr countenanced the destruction of Catholic Churches in Philadelphia i and tries to throw the blame of the horrid scenes in Kensington upon General Cadwallader; anti the other military offi cers on the ground, duringla part of the time when a mob governed the city. This "Catholic Lay• man," whose attachment ;to the' Catholic Church we are led to doubt must have forgotten that Mon- TON McMrivar.t., Sheriff of Philadelphia countyl at the time; was a Whig.,- that it was his duty, asl the chief civil officer of the county. to take imme- diate steps to protect thelproperty and the lives of; all the citizens, whether Catholics or members of other religious societies, land whether natives, orl citizens who happened to t be born in Germany or Ireland ;—that the " m could have been easily quelled in the first outhreak of disorder," if the , Sheriff had done his duty , and that, when the mil-1 itary were assembled, thefr were under the orders! of the civil authorities—under the orders of Moir TON AleNficirmit.. If Ibis ' layman" does not' know the truth to be asl,we have stated, he ft ig norant of what every orir else knew at the time ;; and is also ignorant of another fact ; that the Whig native Foie, al member nf !Congress from that district threw himself between: the authorities and the mob, to sustain them in the work of Church de-1 struction; and to encourage the manly employ 1 ment of abusing and maltreating women and children, because they were the wives and offspring of Catholics. This ' , /airman" may also learn that it was the Whig authorities of t ßoston and Charles town who sustained those who sent the inmates of a Female Seminary, shrieking and half clad, from their beds at midnight,;and drove them to seek shelter where they could, guided by the light of the burning edifice. Ile may also learn that it was Whig natives, who in this city reproached Governor Shrink fur having 'appeared in a public procession of his Roman Catholic fellow-citizens. All these facts are too ivell known to be success. fully contradicted ; and they will long be remem bered against the Federal Whig Native-Party. ' 232 M ;_1 . w. ~~.~ MIAMM he the Committee of Vigi.

Some of the F e deral party have alleged, as we understand, that otir statement was! trade exclusively with a view tO political effect; that the Whigs had said nothing 'about the matter, l if it had taken place; and that it was even doubt ful whether any thing of the kind had taken place With a view to satisfy our friend ' s on this subject, we copy the following letter fom Gov. Shunk, which will explain in his own Way, the state of the case. In copying this letter, we need only premise that Mr. Housec addressed the Governor with a view to ascertain the truth in refation to this re prieve. A Federal sheriff was cognizant of all the facts; but when asked to inform the public, refus ed to do so; preferring to let the misrepresentations and calumnies of his political friends go forth to the people unrebuked and uncontradicled. A more noble, benevolent and truly touching appeal to the reason and hest feelings of his friends, few men could make, than will be found in this letter: li.canisavien,,Sept. 30, 1847 W. G.

You are right in taking the ground that ',I had sonic Ifigher motive for the respite than political effnet. would despise myself, and render myself despicable in the estimation of all good men, if I could not, in deciding a grave question like the one submitted in this case, realize motives that range far above thou Secretary Walker.—Bankraptey. influence of selfishness.

The pilot at once ran us ashore; and then began a scene of yell-, ing and confusion which I never saw equalled. But' one plank was put out, in consequence of the crowd impeding the crew, 'and men and women were jumping into the river, or falling in on all sides.— After the passengers had all got their baggage, or I what was left of it, on the shore, all hands turned in to put out the fire, and after an hour's work, the! i danger seemed over. but after many had quit work, it burst out more fiercely than ever. So great was the danger that the captain ordered all the furni-' ture to be thrown over board, which was done— ! All now set to work with redoubled energy, arid after a time subdued the flames. The boat was not much damag d; nor any part of the cargo ex cept that in the bow. Whatever could be injured by water is spoiled.

From Harford county, in the fifth Congressional district, there are returns from only one poll, (Ha vre de-Grace,) where Thomas is ahead of Goldsbor ough FOUR TEEN VOTES, and the Democratic candidate for Congress leads his Federal opponent !fire sores. This is in the strongest Federal election district in the county. From these returns, we have not a doubt that the good old State of Maryland. God bless her, - has put to route the Federal, Native, anti-war, anti- American Whig party—that she is "re teemed, re generated, disenthralled ;" and will nobly sustain henceforth, the glorious standard of Jeffersoniaa Democracy ! !I A Democratic Governor; A Democratic Home of Delegates; And Democratic reform will now, we trust, dis tinguish Maryland. LATEST NEWS: From the ILI timore Sun, of yesterday morning . , we have official and reported returns from the whole State; which show that Afr. TM/31AS has been chosen Governor, by nearly FIFTEEN HUNDRED MAJORITY! The Democracy have made a dear gain of SEVEN members of the House , of Delegates.— The federalists will, however, doubtless, have a majority in both branches of the State Legislaturel In the Congressional canvass, we have elected' but two members; while in the last Congress we had tour, a nd the federalists two. The handsome majority given to Mr. Thomas, indicates the true sentiment of the Pepple of Maryland; which is decidedly Democratic: as lo cal causes are made to operate in the Congres sional and Delegate elections. • • c % •t;‘ , • - • - %, its / r e , --,- • •••.-,;•:. 1 8 4_-_._ Georgia Election. By a Telegraphic Dispatch froin the city of Washington, the editors of the Sun have received intelligence respecting the Georgia election—from which there is every reason to believe the Demo- cratic candidate for Governor is elected. The Late Rains From the Sun, we learn also, that parts of the city of Baltimore have been completely flooded. The damage along the Baltimore and Ohio Road, and also, along the Washington Road, has been very great. .As far as we can learn,. along the whole route from Baltimore to this city, there has been a great destruction of property, from the rise in the streams. We will give further particulars to-morrow. ME OSAGE Riven is - Alzssount.—The St Louis Union says : The citizens interested directly in the naviga tion of this river, have gone to work on it as vol.' unteers. They have already improved several shoals, so as to give 30 inches of water, where only seven were before; and their improvements are said to be of a permanent character. From 50 to $60,000, it is said, will improve the whole river to the Indian line. A call for volunteers has been made; and the people seem disposed to prose. cute the work until winter This is a novel, but, sure mode of improving rivers," We would add, that it is a plan, the constitution , ality of which will, not be doubted. It would save to the country a great deal of time, that could i l sometimes be better employed, in Congress, if a similar manifestation of public - spirit should be witnessed in many other quarters. Greek Girls —Dr.Valentine Mott, in his sketches of travel, states, that while at a ball in Greece, he was presented to the daughter of the celebrated Marco Bozzaris. She was studying English, she laid, that she might read in our .tongue, the spirit stirring lines of Halleck addressed to her father.— The doctor asked her to dance; and she replied that a true Greek never danced, unless with her own sex. , . , Tna FLoon ist Tne`ALLsonzA..—We cannot say how many feet high the Allegheny, was .on Saturday, as the channel is not measured; but' it was certainly a big river. The island below Alle gheny city was entirely covered, and one dwelling at least surrounded by water. The 'drift wood came down in immense quantities; the piers of the bridges are loaded with logs, slabs, &c. We noticed a number of men i i with !axes, saws, &c. busily employed in hauling in an'n piling up what ever of value appeared within their reach. This is a profitable business while it lasts. A frame went down on Saturday, Which had the appearance ()ea bridge. We have heard of a death by drown ing, a few miles up the river. A man is reported to have fallen from a raft, and was carried off by the swift current, before his friends could rescue him. The lumber merchants bad considerable trouble on Friday night; the piles of boards, &c., upon the wharves, were removed three times. We are told that considerable lots were swept away. A flat boat was snatched from its moorings below the old Allegheny bridge, and taken down: Same poor persons may get it down the river so that so ciety will lose nothing, though the real owner of the flat may. p A friend has loaned us a little book entitled “Revelations of Rights," which has been lately pub lished in this city by A. A. Anderson. It was written by E. S. Ellmaker, , formerly of Lan: caster, brother of Hon. Amos Ellmaker. It is a very interesting little work to a person who takes an interest in the new ideas of political and social rights Which now agitate the world. We corn mend it to the public, but cannot tell where it is to b e purchased. SAD ACCIDENT.-OD Saturday, a little boy (whose name we did not learn,) while playing near a team, was kicked by one of the horses, on the head, so severely, that a portion of his brains oozed out. Medical aid was called, but in vain. After lingering in the greatest torture, tin: til yesterday, he expired. Ma. Moitnrs.—The Cincinnati Enquirei.says in reference to the death of this young tragedian " We are informed that he was in' a perfect state of health during the day, and that he made his ap pearance at the Theatre at rehearsal hour, he being cast in the character of "Master Walter," in the play of the "Hunchback." He went to his room at Holmes' Hotel, for the purpose of making him self perfect in his part, and was stretched out on his bed in an easy position, With his 'part' in his hand, when he died. He died about G o'clock, and some say that his death was occasioned by a sud den rush of blood to his head, and others that he had taken poison, mistaking it for a slight purga tive medicine." The Signal Says : "We learn that Mr. Morris was to have been married to an amiable young lady of this city, next week. His premature loss is deeply deplored, not only by his affianced bride, but by a large cir cle of friends." STOCKIXGS, &C.-W. Daly, sth street, has the most eictensive collection_ of stockings, &c., that Is to be found in the 6ity, perhaps west of the Al legheny mountains. He is an holiest and clever man, and merchants and others would do well to patronize him. o:7“‘The Albatross" has made its appearance, but we have not been favored with a sight of it. c ry Mr.Joieph T. Smith of Mercer is to fill the place made vacant in the Second Presbyterian church by the death of Rev. Dunlap. Tnesras.—The friends of Mr. John Dunn should not forget that this evening he takes his . benefit. His bill is excellent, and his professional_ claims are sufficient to ensnre a good turn out. "Richarde Ye Thirde,"is a new-piece here; and will shake the blues most horribly. If any of friends are sorely afflicted with any.diseases in the neighborhood of hypocondriacisni, we ad vise them to cull on Dunn to-night. SUNDAY NIGHT :Mena= An z.otowrcz.—We need scarcely call the attention of our readers to the announce ment of another Concert by this lady to-night i and yet it is due to her that'we should invite all, who wish to enjoy a rich musical treat, to call and heir her—as it is the last opportunity which will he enjoyed in this city. The sweet and touching strains of " The Exile of Erin," "The last rose of Summer," "Where hae ye been a' the day," "Dear Harp of my Country," and others which she sings, are not often to be heard, in the course of a lifetime, as she sings them. We hope her last-meeting with our citizens may be a memora ble one— = most profitable to her, as we are sure it will be delightful to them. j' Mr. and Mrs. Kent are living in Cincinnati. Mr K. is-a cripple and Mrs. K. has retired from the stage c• A raft was crushed upon a pier of the St. Clair street bridge, on Saturday ; and, the men barely escaped with their lives. CATCH TILERASCAL. - Mr. Sproul has offered a reward for the discovery of the persons who fired his house on Thursday morning. Net° Counterfeit.—The Ohio State Journal' says, a new counterfeit three dollar note on the Bank of Sandusky, has made its appearance. It is Signed B. Higgins, President, and W. W. Wetherell, Cash; ier. dated October Ist, 1844, letter A, payable to 0. smith. • Their general appearance is well cal culated to deceive. and the signatures extremely well done; the general appearance rathsr lighter than the genuine. No notes have been issued by this bank, of a date since 1812, and none payable to 0. Smith. Mammoth Potatm—Mr. Isaac Park, of Gliton county, Tennessee, has sent us a sweet potato; the product of his dirm; which weighs five pounds.--- This, we are informed, was dug from the poorest piece of ground on his plantation. If the poor lands of Obion produce such potatoes, what may we expect from the rich ones? t We have also a stalk of corn, from -the planta• tion of Air. John G.
