MR CLAY DESCRIBED ET ONX OF HIS ADVOCATES.
--The Gazette is now the principal organ of the Clay
men in this city, and of course the party will admit

truth and nothing but the truth. They must attach
great importance to the influence of the erli.or fur it

of any man for whom the whip would pay three thou

before the public we will only quote the opinions of
theeditor of the Gazette, and dare the whip to con
temn them. The first extract we will give is an ar
expres.ring the editor's opinion, of Mr Clay's I
-claims to be considered a champion of a protective

' THE COMPROMISE ACT.
- - •
"The Harrisburg's Telegraph, in referring to the re
' bake of the Ponniylvani a !louse of Representatives to
' she Compromise act of Mr Clay, remarks that it may
sot be unprofitable to advert to the fact that in the
Southern States whore Mr Clay's strength all lies,and
saber° the highest honors are paid him, he is lauded as
"THE AUTHOR or THE COMPROMISE: ACT."
AND FOR HIS OPPOSITION TO A PROTEC
TIVE TARIFF. An able writer on this subject is
now publishing a series of numbers in the Southern
Wids papers, showing that Mr Clay is, and ever has
bfrdaropposed to protection.
"Its thitith number of these articles, which appears
in therAugusta Chronicle, treating of the Tariff of
1832, this writer says:
"For this tariff dm Hon Henry Clay voted along
-with the Democrats, and this tariff is he T one
he ever did vote for. He did not vote for the tariff's
•of 1816, 1824, or 1828; but did vote for that of 1832.
For this, however, the democrats cannot complain,un
/ess they condemn their own act. II E was the AU
THOR of the COMPROMISE ACT of 1833."
"Now with these facts boldly put Girth at the South
'b., the friends of Mr Clay, with what consistency can
las friends at the North hold him up as the "father of
the American system"—as the friend and champion
o f a protective tariff?"
These are Mr IVhite's honest opinions of Mr clay's
tariff principles, and it will be observed that they fully
sustain the charge that the Whig candidate is unfriend
ly to a protective tariff: The editor boldly charges
MrClay with being the author of the compromise act,
and to show hi %%kat light he regarded the effects of
that act, we hare only to quote a paragraph from an
editorial article in the Gazette of September 6, 1842.
Here it is:
"Bat all our neighbor's r fforts to deitroy the ergo
ammt, that the compromise act has been the pruicipal
-cause of the prevailing embarrassments and distress,
are unavailing. We think it would not be hard to
show:that it has caused a' great past of the financial
4isiftealties under which we have labored, and that
.even a National Bank would have found it difficult
to have afforded any facilities to the people and 3ot
maintained its integrity tinder its ruinous ejects."
In 1893, the Gazette had a controversy with the Ad
vocate touching Mr Clay's availability, morality, &c.,
and on the Bth of Febillary, objected to the nomina
tion of Mr Clay, in which he stated his ground of op
position. The following is an extract from that arti
cle:
"The whole matter resolves it•elfinto this,—that we
believe Mere is an influence abroad among the peo
ple in opposition to slavery, duelling endrnasonry—
skis influence we call the 'silent workings of t ruth
and morality,' tin opposition to that loose political
greed, which cares not what a man's moral princi
ples are, or what effect his election may have on
greal moral questions, so his political principles a e
eorrect on a few loading subjects. We believe this in-
Auctice is rapidly growing, though men may shut their
eyes against it, and that the Whigs of Indiana will find
that through this influence they cannnot elect Mr Clay.
We may be mistaken in the extent of this influence, but
trust we shall not be."
*••• • • • •
-"Our opinion of Mr Clay's protective principles
Imre been frequently given, and we have seen nothing
yet, either from Mr Clay or our neighbor, to lead us to
change our views. Mr Clay is friendly to protection
in a modified form. Ho is. to use his own words, is
I or ofearrytng out al the principles of the Com
promise act, and of cburse favorable to such protec
tion as those principles will give. That act, and its
principles, has been done away, we trust forever,
and soefervently hope it wilt never exert its evil in
fluences upon the country again."
We have room but for ono more extract this morn
ing. It is from an editorial article in the Gazette of
July 13, 1848. Ater showing the fallacy of the
hopes of Mr Clay's friends, th s editor concludes:
"It will behereafter more difficult for the Whig par
ty to eoneentrate the Antilocofoco forces, and it will
yearly grow increasingly difficult. The North, where
the most voters. are,requiee a man who is not only fitmr
able to a Tariffa sound National curreney,distribution
of the lands, Stc.,but also one who is notes slaveholder
or as adierinp vhason, or a duellist, or immoral or
presge, and if they cannot get such a man they win
lit the election go by default, or scatter their votes
among hopeless candidates, in etderto give an expres
sion of their principles."
"The South requires, at least a portion of it, a diff
erent candidate, and insists, with wonderful perseva
rence, on having a Southern man, To harmonise
them conflicting feelings is most difficult, and is at
present, we fear, impossible. Nothing can save the
Whig party at the approaching election but the

Naw YORK Tfttaus E.—This valuable paper conies
to us enlarged, and clothed in a new dress. The
whigs evidently appreciate the Tribune, and are be
stowing a good patronage upon it. It was always
talented, and it is noa a very beautiful sheet.
Tea 13TH Dieriticv.—Wedo not suppose there
is any doubt but the whig candidate is elected in this
district by a small majority. All the setuins wehave
seen are from a whig source, and although reliance
can not be placed its their details, yet we think there
is sufficient truth in them to warrant the conclusion
that the democrats are again defeated in the 13th
district. We hope they have now made sacrifices
enough to satisfy the ambition of Mr. SIIYDIR. Two
defeats in a district where there is a dear, certain
and unwavering democratic - najority, should admonish
our friends of the necessity of nominating men who
are not obnoxious to the charges that were made
against Mr. Snyder. They have been taught a dear
lesson, an 3 one, we behave, that will have a salutary
effect hereafter.

Conine.% School Systene—N ew Militia Low—The
DEAR Sat
The Legislature now approaching within, at furthest
a few weeks of adjournment, appears to be deeply
sible of the necessity of renewed diligence, and deci
sive action upon the great questions of state policy
which must be disposed of. The conservatioo of the
common sawed system, may be already considered us
out of danger. A new militia law. designed to pay
the expenses ofthe militia system is in great forward.
ness, and will be passed. It occupied much of the
attention of the House during the past week. Major
M' Ceusus, of Greene, took charge of this Di
vision of t 1• service, and manfully kept the Battalions
to their places, under the heavy and incessant fire to
which they were subjected during their passage through
the serious defilesof the House. I never saw greater
bravery and knowledge of tactics, displayed in these
skirmishes, not of cornstalks and umbrellas, but of'
words. Gen'l. ROURFORT, Col. BRADY, Cul. Snow-
DEN, Major ANDERKOS, of the German Legion, and
Surgeon General Coen, Ns, of Fayette, acquired new
reputation by their valour, and came out of the con
test completely victorious, with the Irws only of a few
sections. Should they ever be called from the duties
of the floor, to the services of the field. I have no
doubt their campaign would be still more glorious: I
hope. however, the day is far distant, when the roar of
words and laughter must giie way to the roar of the
murdering guns of war: for I am a lover of peace.
The remainder of the week was chiefly occupied
with passing through committee of the whole the bill
entitled "an act to reduce the state debt," but being
in fact a bill to provide fur the sale of the main line
of canal and rail road, and to raise the state taxes.
So you see that the substance of the thing is not quite
so palatable as the title would import. One cannot
help bringing to mind the famous or rather infamons
bill to charter the U. S. Bank, which was done under
the fraudulent title of an act to repeal state taxes.
And so this Watling of the whig Party, this project toi
barter away the liberties, privileges and property o I
the people to foreigners, for the sake of a mess of p o t.
tape, must, forsooth, be disguised under the sheep's
clothing o f an act to reduce the state debt. There
is, however, as it now appears. a decided majority in
the house for its but how they con reeoocile it to them
selves to sell the works and double the state taxes too,
lamat a loss to understand. The log -rolling system
has been brought to bear, and by tacking the Revenue
bill, which is an honest bill to raise money to pay the
interest of the state debt, to this humbug of a sale,
members who honestly are anxious to see the interest
provided for, may be compelled to swallow the whole,
or reject the whole, and be damned for repudiators.
Into this predicament many members will be forced,by
the union of two bills one of which they wish to op
pose, and the other to support. What they will do
under such circumstances I cannot say. But it is
evident that the whigs had the advantage in this part
of the game last week, With MJa.la yof this week,
the bill was resumed, tl e nature of which you will
understand when I inform you, thia the first 26 see
d nis provide foe the incorporation of a company, with
the main line of Canal and Railroad from Philadelphia
to Pittsleir g h for its capital stock, with a'l the neces
sary privileges, lots, houses, locomotives, Sec., for
20.000,000 dollars—end the remaining IS or 20
sections provide for a tax of 3 mills. on. the dollar.
It seem 20 millions would not go down well with the
sperithtots, and a tolvement was wail., this morning
by Mr. SMITH of Lim -aster, to strike out 20 millions
and insert 16. Mr. KUGLER then moved to amend
by insertin 30. The motion to insert 30, lost, ayes
30, nays 57 Mr. Cummixs of Fayette, then moved
to insert 24—ayes 31, nays 56. Mr. COWAN of
Franklin, then moved to insert 18 millions instead of
16—ayes 43, nays 44. The question then reverted
to the first motion of Mr. Serre. to strike out 20 and
insert 16—ayes 6, nays 80. The question on the
Section, ayes 56. nays 30, Allegheny all in thus nega
tive. This last is a test vote of the question of Sale.
Then to the second section. This had been amend
ed by Messrs. Rournfort & Brackenridge, last week,
so as to secure to the state the actual payment of 15
millions, before the works were to go into the control
of the company. But it seems that this also was dis
agreeable to the speculators, as a motion was now
made to strike out 15 and insert only 10—ayes
30, nays 56— Allegheny in the negative. Motion then
by Mr. Roumfort, to insert 2 0—ayes 33, nays 56.
1 he question then recurred on the section with 15
million s of dollars as above stated to be first paid—
yeas .57, nays 31, this last being a second test vote,
the ayes being fur the sale, nays against. The bill
was then postponed, and will not probably come up
again till Wednesday. Mr. Gibson was in the house
to do, for the first time voting since his illness.

FOR' ?RI POST.
In the "Gazette and Advocate" of the 10th inst., its
liberal, bigh-minded and manly editor , btu thought
proper to edify such of the citizens of igsb. and.
its vicinity, who may chance tarred his paper withan
i editorial from the "Courier & gnquirer," touching a
recent election of officers in the several Episcopalian
• congregations in New York, and fraught with scurril
lows imputations against the respected Bishop of the
Protestant Episcopal Church in that state, and his
faithful clergy and laity. What his motive might be
in this procedure, it is not intended to conjecture, tho'
doubtless were it disclosed, it would be f o und as pure
and free from sectarian malignity as is usual with him.
His precise object, too, notwithstanding the reason as
signed in hisprefatory remarks, is sornewhatenigma
• ical; unless a disposition be imputed to him, of which
lit would not do even'to suspect so, pious a man as Dea
con White; for the article. he has taken pains to insert,
relates to matters with which it was formerly thought
the public generally had nothing to do, but which be
longed exclusively to• the churches concerned; and
has no particular bearing on the topics which usually
enliven his papor, and on which he is vociferous if not
eloquent—masonry, anti-masonry, abolition, tbe,Tariff
and Henry Clay. As, howeve?, he appears to think
it of especial interest to our citizens, and as it might
add weight to the chaste, courteous and Christian effu
sion, were the high character of its author known, it
may be doing a service to the public to say, that the
editor whose pilaus fervor is so characteristically dis
played therein, is no loss a personage than the brave
and chivalrous Col. James Watson Webb, of manArill
fame, whose religious conversion is almost as sudden
and marvellous as that of his cotemporary here in the
whig eause , though whether from ro similar "con-si
e-m-tion" is not known; and dates back to that day of
afffiction,when wither:honorable wound - barely keeled,
the said Colonel was sentenced by the criminal court
of New York to the state prison of the Empire state,
hut mercifully pardoned by the Governor on condition
that he shou.d henceforth bottle uo his valor, and keep
it well corked, and neither fight nor threaten to fight
any more. His piety, which then began to blaze forth,
has bean increasin g rapidly ever since; though it is of
that transcendental kind, which conceals its precticil
operation from the public MP; raises him above the
necessity of going to church very often and some say
not at all, in order to cherish the virtuous flame; and
has not as yet quite cured him of an old and notorious
habit of interlarding his ordinary, conversation with
expletives rather ominous and startling for so good a
man, and one who takes so deepen interest. and from
his education and associations, Mg beso competent &
monitor in religious affairs. PAK NOBILS FRATRON.

The brig Wirl Neilson, t*itiO Robinson, arrived last

every day; the disaffection exists principally in the'
Spanish part ofthe island, among the Mulattoes
The city of St Domingo is the strong hold of the re
vokers and they muster so strong that these its an doubt
of their complete success.
Pres;deat Reviere had marched some time since
from the seat of government for St. Domingo with a
large army.
President Reviere was no longer than a year ago
but a commandant at one of the small ports in the he
land, and was elected during the great excitement
subseqeent to the revolution, since when he has shown
more particular favor to the blacks than the mulattoes,
consequently the rebellion.
Since the marching Ofßiviere's army, great numbers
who hod joined it, and among them the principal men
of the Republic, had returned to Port Republic, hav
