Herald:, !: PutLAnr.srats, Augtist 18, 1844. Dedr Beniiett : • The discussion which took place a little more than a week- since,. at Pottsville; be- : tween Francis W. Hughes, late a loCofoco Sena. tdr from Schuylkill district, and.tp.seph G. Clark. son, a Whig lawyer of this city, on the tariff, and the.position occupied by Mr. Clay and Mr. 'Folk,' in rektion to that question, was reported by!a dis thiguished stenographer here, andlit is now in prao ce;ss of publication. The result of'the discdssion, - I am credibly informed, and' in lace it is freely spoken of by the whigs themselves, terminated in Clarkson being effectually used !up.; and ip con s'equence it is very generally regretted that lie was co indiscreet as to accept the challenge throWn out by Hughes. The effect of this debate in Sblanyl. kill county alone, the great tariff, region of the ry'tate, the whigs' w in discover in the retairns!of the 'election. Polk's majority will be at least 1,000- 7 Van Buren's, in •15 , 10, was a little over 300. Well, that's cool. There's nothing like going , the.wholefigure ; A Locofoco leader, in this bor ough a short tune a3o,Who, we learn, cskibiied the wrong end to the audience, deelared that they could " out-lie and out-steal' ;the whigs at atiy time." • He 'evidently told the tidth—for the above is a little of the hardest lying' we have sr for some time: past. The ;very reverse is the .fact• On the subject of the Tariff, the only question at 'issue, Mr. Hughes, to use the exiiressionnf an in telligent- locofoco who never voted the Whig tick' et for President, •, was completel'y demolished on every point.' With regned toll+ question fc heth er Mr. Polk teas in favor of thd present Tariff "or not, we ha..&e heard of at least a !dozen loiofocos, I who admit that; Mr. Hiighes dodger], or in, t i tteir own words °' fluncked out, and rliid not answer the questiMt.' The whigs did admit that Mr. Clarkson was a most too gentlemanly for an opponent like Mr. lughes, and rhOught he ought to have had a little of • the Bear' in his cotrilosition. , That is the only admission we heard. made, and , we leave '.:th'e,puhlic' to judge Whether tha i was ahy idispar ageimmt to Mr. Clarkson. I With regard to the vote in 'this Cotnity, we will leave that speak for itself inl Noverni+r—and if it don't tell a different tale front the abocle,then we are, no Prophet. Schuylkill ' the gre4 Tariff. region of the Str.te,', will not have ease to bhish ,at the result, if her citizens ark not borne doWn fiy imported voters. I • CAN rr nr.

I cumstancesr The fact is the people of Schuylkill county have been treated in the: most outrageous manner by the friends of Ramsey' in Dauphin and Lebanon. We have been told that they could elect their eindidate without the whigs of Schuyl kill by members of the party—we have been de ceived, betrayed, and then taunted with being poor politicians,Oy these men who even,boast of theirdis honorable conduct.
