tO"Cook, of tho Danville Democrat, is
-entirely silent in iiis last paper, in relation
to our charges against him. Gome, come,
Mr. Cook, no backing out. It is rather
dishonorable on your part, after having
charged us with malicious and wilful false
hood,' to 'sculk,- craven like, behind the
basil,' when we offer to cither provo the
truth of our charges, or 'mako the proper
apology,' provided you would give answers
touching tho whole mallei. It is more cs
ipccially so since you privately acknowledge
the truth of our statement. We again de
mand of you an answer to our statement.
Honor and fair dealing requires it, that we
may not lay under the imputation of having
published a 'malicious and wilfu! falsehood'
unless we deserve it. Toe the mark, Mi.
Cook,

Tho,whlgs of litis Stato havo labored

sought more industriously to mislead the
public mind, and to mtsiepresont and
to mlstify the American Electors. We
have no wish, other than that the can
didates should stand upon their true
position before the people. With this
view we have collated Ihe public decla
rations of each, and we present thorn be
low in partallel columns.thal every rea
der may compare them for himself, and
make up his judgment with candor and
fairness. Let ficts speak fur themselves.
It will be seen that Mr. Clay's posi
tions are, in the most decided manner, a
Tariff for revenue with incidental
protection.
Mr Polk stands upon the broad A
merican ground Incidental equal pro
tection, through a revenue Tariff, of
all the great interests of Labor and
industry Manvfuclurcs, rfgricul-
lure, the AlechanicjUrts andCommetce.
Who will contend that this is not the
truu ground on which n statesman look

ought to stand.
Again we say let facts speak for them-

chanan to an invitation of the Democra
cy of Dauphin county, to participate
with them in celebrating the -1th, we
make the following extract, and com
mend it to the attention of every Dem
ocrat. Lt the spirit of harmony and
conciliation inculcated by it prevail and
'in this sigh we shall conquer," and by
i majority decisive that Whigism will
be put to sleep for the next cpi li ter of a

"The nominaiions of Polk and Di.
las have been every w here hulled by thu
Democracy with an intense enthusiasm,
which is the sure pierage of victory.
in these nominees, our glorious princi
pies, destined to spread liberty and law
over the wholo earth, have found wor
thy representatives. ' 13olh of them are
new men, as connected with Ihe" high
-stations to which they have been nomi
nated, though both are known In fame
by their distinguished service. We are
ilius at once relieved from the jnalounies
ind heart burnings which might h ive
lislrac'.ed the parly, had ei'her of the
two distinguished and rival candidate
been selected. The Demon. icy ol the
Union, with Polk and Dallas for their
leaders, will make a fresh start, and are,
I trust, destined to run a glorious ca
reer. Ihe young democrats, who havo
sprung into political existence since
Gen. Jackson retired from office, will
now feel assured that they have a fair
and equal chance for Ihe honors and
rewards of tho country with their elder
associates.
" Al this auspicious moment of our
political existence, shall we not com
mence a new era of good feeling in
Pennsylvania? Shall we not bury in
oblivion those unhappy dissensions
which have heretofore existed, and
march to victory as a band of brothers?
For myself, it is sufficient for me lo
know that a democrat will support
Polk, Dallas and Muhlenberg, and I
shall then extend lo him the right hand
of political fellowship, Tho present is
not a moment for members of the party
to obtiude their piivale griefs, if they
have any, upon the public, or to indulge,
in crimination and ie-crimiiialion against
each other. Let us chaige in folid cb
lumiis on the enemies of Democratic
principles,and the victory will be ours.
In union alone there is strength: and if,
at an early period of the contest, it shall
bo rendered manifest to our sister Slates,
that tho Democracy of tho Keystone aro
firmly united, our moral influence will
be powei fully felt throughout the length
aud breadth of the land."
Severe Punishment. A man in Si

pleaded for capital punishment on liear
ng their decision, but without effect.
The court was inexorable.
