WHIG GA MC.--CLAY HE RIFF.—
.it &morning more-riad,rncr?. evident every day that
the federalists iotend'tc pursue in the coming contest
41
-the same game of hypocrisy and deception that was so
vticeetisful i-61840. They hope to succPed, as they did
when, by professing "all things to all Men," by suiting,
'-rtheir principles to the differcat localities and interests
.''of the country, and by advocating in one portion of the
• 'country measures which - they oppose in another. In
tNew York, Massaclrcietts,'llhode Island,•Pennsylva
ard intact in every State and section that is in.
v‘itorested a • Tariff, we find them making the most
!loud professions of devotion to that measure, and in
rasistingthat the manufacturing interests would be un
+stafe in any other hands than theirs—that Bo
wen and the democratic party are hostile to the Tariff,
Land itrfavor of "free' trade." The Advocate, of this
;city, has over and over again appealed to the people
- to support Mt Clay ou account of his Tariff principles.
Now, wo pretend not to claim that the democratic par
' ny is alone friendly-tolhat measure; or that the mann
- lecturing interests - weeild be guarded and protected
with more cure ,by a democratic administration than
- woad the other interests of the country. We hal-cal
:ways contended that it would be a most suicidal act
•on the rnrrt of the friends of American industry to at
-teriiipt - to give that question a party beating; and that
*be7 would novel be a',le to realize its benefits if it was
"once connected with the fierce struggles for political
ascendancy which is constantly. Waging by the two
irriltat parties of the coirntr
_ ...my But have heretofore
itideavo,ed to expos e the hypocricy we of the federalists
i n asatiming to be the exclusive friends of a Tariff: It
is aft impudent and shameful attempt to again mislead
the people, and, we venture to say, it will be properly
rebuked at the polls. The following from a leading I
whig paper, will show how much right Mr Clai has
to be considered the Tariff candidate, and how very
i nee re his friends in this quarter are in urging his
election on that score. We quote from the Richmond
.'The fact aat dir Clay is more of a Free Trod...?
•inan--aii coerce as he is of a wise and reasonable tar
-than Air Van Ruren--is becoming generally
known to the people cf the South. His letter to Dr
jßronson (the Georgia. letter) in consequence of the un
ust criticism of the loco focos, and their vile attempt
.to show that it is inconsistent with Mr C's firmer opi
nions, has had the effect of bringing this fact to the .
, Inowleticne ofthousands, who formerly were not aware i
4 '
.of it,"
Mr Clay's own letter, it will be seen, has hod the
-effect of bringing his free trade principles "to the
'knowledge of thousands who formerly were not aware
of them." how his supporters in this si MI rter can in •
sist that Mr C. is a tariffma n , in the teeth of his own
"positive declaration to the contrary, will doubtless ap
,re..era marvel to those who are notacquainted with the
hdishonesty- and deception that has ever been practised i
i the federal leaders.
Tat: Ms:retie try. From present armearanc e ., w e
Stink the election of next Tuesday will be the warin
' lot contest that tre have had fur some years. The
ulna/nation of Mr. had
has given new vigor
to the question and those who heretofore thought there
would be no contest for the office, discover that they
iWerenaistaken,.and th at there will be a eery warm and
thitaated one.
Of the three candidates• now up for the office, Mr.
BtitstusouAst's chance of election is much better than
that of either of his competitors. He is popular
with his party, and is recorded by the public generally as a gentleman of much decision of character, who
would atall personal hazar ds enforce the laws fur the
preservation of the peace of the City and promptly
vanish all who would dare to violate them. Although
oorninated by the democratic party he is not regarded
his a strict political candidate, and he will receive a
arge su,qaort independent of his democratic fr iends.—
Many are anxious that a change should take place in
she office, and as Mr. B.'s prospects of election are
fairer than that ofthe candidate taken up by the whis
and antimasons, the citizens who core more fir ga
good
officer than party trammels, will give him a willin g
support.
"We hope that his political friends, one and all, will
not only vote forhim, but use every honorable effort to
"acme his election. Not for the purpose of claiming
WA& a party triumph, but to secure to the city a good
officer, who will discharge his duties impartially and
ii
igi
lantly protect the interests of the citizens,and watch
oyer the peace of the city. JOHN BIEUTNORAM
will
/.
make - joss such an officer as is required for chief ma
ghittate of our its at the present time, and no parry
, •
eonsivleration should induce a good citizen to oppose
his election.' We therefore hope that the only question
at the polls on next Tuesday, will be the competency
2.11; of the. candidates, and that every man wi.l
;iota mere from a desire to secure aEr )ocl officer than
'to contribute to the strife of party. With such a spirit
W- better feeling will govern the managemen t of our
city affairs, and we may all rest assured that we will
hive trustworthy and competent officers to attend to t
municipal Latitter..s.

, .I:WERT Y AND DIATFI.—The Boston Post gives
a -most touching and horrible account of the death or -a
poor woman in that city, from starvation. She lived in
acellar,witich the Post says, wasfilled with an almost
intolerable stench,"'caused by dasproximity of a i . .ault at
one end, and at the other from a leak in a drain, by
the filthy current of which the floor was flooded. The
atrhosPhere of course was cold and damp, although an
Fort had'been made to warm it by piling up chips in
.. the centre of a large open fire place. The only
furni
-tuna visible w as a single chair, an old wuter-hurket, a
spruce beer bottle, and a small iron pot. At the dry
end of the room, in a corner near the tiro-place, lay the
e apse of the unfortunate women whose fate wo had
livia informed of previous to our descent. She lay, as
she had died some time during the night previous up
on the damp boards, without even a straw mattress
trader her or any covering exnept an old woolen blanket

In pursuance of a call made by the Democratic Com

meeting of citizens (molt place in the Court House in tire

That the President appoint a committee to draft rose
lotions expressive of the sense of the meeting.
Whereupon the President appointed the following
persons:—Fergus Cannon, Esq., David Watson, mno.
Matthias. Joseph Thompson and Hugh M Speedy.
Whilst the committee were miscue the meeting was
addressed, on the subject of the Presidential and Ciul)-
ernatorial candidates, by T. C and Wil
son Reilly, Esqrs., in a very able highly interesting
and satifactory manner.
The committee, by theirchnirman F. c,nnori, Esq.,
reported the following preamble and resolutions, which
were adopted without a disenting voice: •
Whereas, The time is fast approaching when the
democratic party will be called upon to summon their
strength fur the important contest for President and
Vice President of the United States, and the party in
Pennsylvania, for the choice oftt Governor of this great
Commonwealth. And, %Whereas. It is a becoming du
ty of every citizen to speak forth his opinions in the
spirit of a freeman; when our rulers are selected, into
whose hands the destinies elixir common country are'
committed fir the time being. Therefore,
Resolved, That as Pennsylvanians, we are proud of
tine high standing, excellent character and sound prin
ciples of the lion James Bucharnin, who is a promi
neat candidate fur the Presidency-, and we cordially re
commend him to the consideranim of our fellow citi
zens "lour sister States. Ile is n man whose qualifi
cations for the distinguished situation to u Inch he has
been rerommended,non e will question. but on the con
trary, wiro.e fame as a statesman and diplomatist is so
completely identified a ith the history of Iris country, as
to form a conspicuous passage in our history, arid
whose talent s and genius have reflected much credit,
both upon himself arid the American character. Nev
ertheless, we pledge ourselves to cordially support
whomsogv er of the highly distinguishr'd dernia-ratic
mutilates M,e before the people, that the Conven
tion may fairly and judiciously nominate.

COUNTY Poi: THE POST.
EXIT:\ SLS.
In ti.ca times of high taxes, I have often wondered
that there have been no effectual attempts made to re.
duce our county expen...kiA. There are many items od
expenditure that might readily he curta. Let me
mention one important one. I suggest i dledto he cour,
the commissioners and our memben, of the legislaturets.
It is supposed that the District COllll is sitting en
gaged in Jury trials 34 weeks in the veer, and the Court
of Common Pleas, in civil It ials 10 weeks, in all 264
days. I speak without vouchers, but this is near the
truth. They have usually 35 or 40 jurors in daily at
tendance, say 33. Thin creates an expens e of ~ ,1 . 9210
a year for jurors alone, without mileage. I suppos e
the real expens e most exceed $lO,OOO. This requirea
considerable tax, and besides this, 20 or 30 jurors ore
always standing, idle, earl aro of no use to-themselves
or to others.
I
underst •nd that the courts cannot avoid this, for
they aro bound to summon at /rag 40 jurors. Now I
propose that the law be altered so that half the number
of jurors may be summoned. Jurors are not ge-nerailv
out kn.:, When cou4ideriug the en se. If ey :41„,ul
be, let the remaining jurors be called, and th the numbe r a
requisite for a second jury be tnken from the by-stand
ens. I understand that in Ohio they never sUMMioi
More than 16jurura li,r civil cases. This is enough.
Let it be tried; it will reduce the comity expenses
more than one half.
The jury fee is now $4, in each case, paid to the Tess.
county, I would make it $lO or $l2. Suitors, not
the county, should pay for litigation. This would
further lighten the burden.

iTo the Patrons of the Brighton Paper Mill
Gentlemen: It is my misfortune to inform you that:
about noon yesterday my manufactory was discovered
Ito be on fire, and raged so rapidly that the building
1 containing my making machinery was entirely consu
med. The damage to the machinery i, extensive, but
II IlOVr much so it is impossible at this time to stare.
The machinery was butt lately constructed, and cer
tainly was not sure used in the Union. e

equal equal to six months consumption: the loss h aris h ing &O ully M
!I the removal of the finished paper is but to a small ex
tent, but the unfinished (of whie il Cot tunately there %sus
but a small proporden) will be principally lost.
For the information of my newspaper customers 1
I would inform them that I have enough patter on hands
, to supply them fttr the next titre, months, (luring IVI2 iCII
itime, Weyer, I hope to ;btu e !Lie est Littlish:neat again
in operation, but to enable MO to do so, I am cbliged
to call upon all these indebted to me, to pay the same
with as little delay as possible.
The establishme nt is tune of the very few, East or
iI West, that has successfuily withstood the storm, that
has fur some yr,rrs raged with such fury against the
i maintfacturing interests of the country, and I do hope
that the desire once more to put into oileration a long
standing and favorite business will excuse, if necessa-
