Tom's Castars.*Whatacontrast the present con
dition of the federal party present* to what it was du
ring the contest of 1840! Then it was, indeed, a party
full of vigor and hope, and was cheered on by signs
the most prepittotut furies cause. By a system of fraud
and deception unpamllelled in political struggles, it
bad gained a temporary confidence with the people,
and by making promises never intended tube fulfilled,
it gained thousands from the democratic ranks under
the hope that a change of public servants would bring
"better times."
At this season of the year in 1840, the Whigs sys
tem of hard eider debauchery, and log cabin and coon
skin foolery was is the full tide of successful experi
ment. EVery day was a pageant, with processions in.
which were carried banners bearing the coon devices
and the promises of "better dines" and "two dollars
a day and roast beef;" and every night was a revel, at
which hard Lider "made harder by a little brandy" was
quaffed in deep potations to the success of a party that
had acoon for its presiding deity, and that openly do
r:hired if had no "principles for the public eye."
gOrartge,as it now seems, these bacchanalian revels,
these disgusting exhibitions—these false promises ena
bled the whigs to rush into power, and to trample on
nll the wise and salutary measures that were adhered
to by . bir Yam Duren in his administration of the Gov
ernment. When once in, their promises to the people
were soon forgotten; we heard nothing more of the
"two dollars a day and roast beef," but the true prin
ciples of the whig leaders became tangible, and when
they thought they had power secure, they broached
Roam of the boldest schemes for plundering the peo
ple and granting special privileges to the self-constitu
ted aristocracy that arragated to themselves all the res
pectability and all the worth of the country. A Bank
rapt Law was called fur by "all the respectability? ,
They said that there were five hundred thousand bank
rupts in the country, and proved to a demonstration it
i►aatho exertions and votes of these men that placed
the coons in power. The law, partial in its powers
'Mid loose in its operations., was granted, and in a short
time these five hundred thousand whigs relieved them
selves from financial difficulties, repudiated their hon
est debts and left the poor men who were paid by the
operations of this sponge law, to reflect at their lei
sure on the glorious realization of the "two dollars a
day and roast beef", promises that were made by the
respectable repudiators. Debts amounting to millions
were wiped out by this law, and many nn industrious
man who had spent a life time in accumulating a little
property, found it suddenly swept from him by the ef
forts of this "relief measure" of the whigs.
Their nest grand scheme was the incorporation of
s National Bank to enrich the five hundred thousand
repudiators who were now clear of debt and ready to
take a fresh start in the career of speculation and stock
gambling; but, thanks to the honesty and firmness of
'President Tyler, they were foiled in that scheme of
fraud upon the people, and from its defeat the down
fall of their brief reign may be dated.
no illusion passed from the eyes of the people, and
jthe deceit and dishonesty. the falsehood and corrup
'lltin,-of tlVeaders of federalism became manifest.
In one shdit year all they had gained by the frauds and
debauchery of 1840, was swept from them and they
were marked with the deep and lasting condemnation
of a deceived and plundered people.
Another Presidential coottest has come round, and
at its opening they thought to practice their humbug
gery once more, for the elevation of a rutin whose un

CLA Priorsstry.—We wish to make one more
effort to induce the editor of the Gazette to retract his
foul slander upon Gov. Clay of Alabama. lie asser
ted positively that it was C. C. Clay that addressed
the profane remark to Mr. Polk just after be bad giv
en bit vote in the Mississippi election case. We are
compelled to believe that the editor knew this was a
brazen falsehood at the time be stated it, for we sup
pose that he took sufficient runic° of passing events
at the time the remark was made, to know that it was
uttered by Henry Clay, he whom the editor has time
after time denounded fat his profanity. IVe published
the card of Mr. atolson, a few days since, suiting
that he heard Henry Clay make the remark, and
called the attention of the editor to it. But he would
not retract; this pious organ of the fifteen is higs be
lieves in the adage that a "lie well stuck to is as good
as the truth," and having published a gross calumny
upon an innocent man, he refuses to make reparation,
for fear that by doing so he might injure the prospects
of the "profane and immoral man" that be is support
ing for the presidency. But he shall not evade it;
he must not suppose that he will be permitted to cover
this gross outrage with his hypocritical cant: he has
slandered an innocent man and he must retract the
slander or it shall be kept b fore the eyes of the pub
lic until every man in the country has awarded to Dea
con White the !Tiede of infamy that such conduct mer-
its. Mr. Clay himself will not dare to deny the charge
that he used the profane remark. The following is a
letter from bim to n fliand who interrogated him on
the subject. It will be observed that he does not dare
to say the charge is untrue, but modes the question by
declining to notice any thing that appeared in the
Globe. If he were innocent. how easy it would be for
him to have said the charge was false, and thus settle
it forever.
IVashington, 1 0th March, 1338
Dear Sir. I received your letter and thottl; you for
the kind feelings towards me which it expresses. But
I submit to your own reflection whether you think .1
ought to engage in a vindication of myself against the
calumnies of such a paper as the Globe. I cannot
descend to such an office. Yours Respectfully,
H. CLAY.
The following letter from C. C. Clay. of Alabama,
is conclusive evidence, if any were wanting, that the
remark was not made by him, and if the editor of the
Gazette has a spark of the honor generally possessed
by the corps, he will publish it with a full acknowl
edgment that his former statement was a gross slander.
Washington City May 28111, 1833.—1 n the New
York Commercial Advertiser. of the 23d instant, I
find the following article:
"Cos reckon at last.—Our readers may remember
a charge of gross profanity brought by the Globe a
gainst Mr. Clay, the Senator from Kentucky, alleged
to have been uttered in the House of Representatives.
when the disputed Mississippi election was decided
against Messrs. Prentiss and Wet a bribe casting vote
of the Speaker. It now appears that the expression—
"Go home, G—d d—n you, where you deserve to Ise"
utreted not by Henry Clay, of Kentucky. but
by Clement C. Clay, of Ala.—a hem foco—and was
addressed not to the Speaker. but to Mr. Prentiss.
"This statement of the matter makes it quite intelli
gible. The admonition to "go home" would have
n mere nonsense addressed to the Speaker, eho
was not thinking of leaving Washington; but as ad
dressed to Mr. Prentiss, it was the very natural utter
ance of loco•foco exultation at his defeat."
• It is due to myself to say to you. that the charge
made againtaiste in this article, is • wholly false. I
was not in thei House of Representatives when the vote,
to which yoo refer, was given; nor did I ever utter the
language imputed to me, or any other of similar im
port, in reference to that or any other vote of the
House.
Inasmech as the charge imputes to me language
highly indecorous, and intuiting to the House of Rep
resentatives, as well as profane, I demand of you the
authority on which it has been thus editorially made;
anif that you do me the justice to publish this contra
diction in your paper. A compliance with this rea
sonable request will relieve you from the responsibili
ty, you must be conscious of having incurred, by the
publication of a charge su false and injurious. C
Respectfully, &c C. C. CLAY.
If any bad doubts heretofore as to who made the
profane remark to Speaker Polk, they can have none
after reading the above letters, and the editor of the
Gazette will have the satisfaction of knowing that he
is fully sustained in the charge of profanity and im
morality which be made against HENRI CLAY.
Since the above was written we have found in a
Southern paper, the following letter from C. C. CLAY,
Esq., to Gen C. M. JACZSON of Alabama. It clinches
the foul federal attempt. So buckle Henry Clay's iniqui
ty to the shoulders of his namesake. We ask, as a
matter of justice to C. C. Clay, that the Gazette shall
republish this letter.
DLAR Stat—Yours of the 29th ult. calling my at
tention to an article published in the ALLhams Journal
of the 24th ult., from the Rochester. Atir . frat, has
been duly received. and I appreciate the- t 1 y tno

ATTROCIOTTS MURDER AND ROBBERY.
The Charleston Mercury of Thursday contains the
Our city was thrown yesterday morning into a great
and unusual excitement on the discovery that Mr.
George Lyon, who for many years back kept a Jewel
ler and Watchmaker store on Last Day, opposite
pewees' Wharf, and adjoining the French Coffee
I louse, had been murdered and robbed during the pre
ceding night The facts, as far as they have transpi
red, are as follosreis: A gentleman, a friend of the
deceased, who was in the habit of frequently calling at
his store, did so yesterday morning ut thyroids 9 o'-
clock—not finding the door open, he tried the lock,
and found it unfastened. On entering the store he
immediately discovered that all was nut right, and cal
. ling to his assistance two or three othet gentlemen.
they proceeded up stairs, where they saw the lifeless
body cf Mr L. on the bed, in a gore of blond. Ms
throat had been cut from ear to ear with some sharp
instrument, hut no other marks of violence weri dis
. covered ou the body. Mr Lyon, at this time was en
tirely by himself on the premises; his negro servant, on
acount of sickness, being boarded out. It is conjec
tured that the villans not only were aware of this cir
cumstance, but were .oherwise well acquainted with
the Incality of the premises; that they must have gain
ed admittance through the street cellar door, which
was found opened, to the rear and then into the i se.
and after committing the murder, titled the store of
all its most valuable contents, which were to a con
,idershle amount and then decamped through the
front door into the street. In order to better avoid
detection—they even took the hook in *llia the num
bers and makers' name of the watches were recorded.
Our vigilant police is on the look out, and we fervent
ly hope, will speedily ferret out the murderers, so that
they allay he brought to a just punishment.
HURRICANE-LOSS OF LIFE AND 1 . 110
PER'f V.
The Bloomington (Iowa) Ileruld, of Friday last,
contains the particulars of a whirlwind. That paper
On IVednesday evening last, cavil the most destruc
tive hurricanes. or whirlwhintis, with which our coon-
try has ever lawn visited, passed through our Territory
a little tiortli of this place, carrying death and desola
tion with it. The morn of tbat day as pleasant us li
std, and a very gelid, breeae playing ait h the leaves,
rind a cloud occasionally shutting the sun from view,
bat in the afternoon, a dark angry lookieg cloud co
vering the whole north-eastern horizon, seemed to stand
still, while from the south a very severe gale was
constantly blowing. At a signal the cloud started
from the position it had so long maintained, and in a
few moments the rain was pouting down in torrents,
end so continued for twenty or thirty minutes when it
ceased, about this time, after a very short calm, a
strong gale was blowing in the opposite direction from
which it came before. But this was not the place for
its horrors. We have learned but few particulurs,and
they are truly melancholy.
At about 6 o'clock a whirlwind, raking a space of
half n mile in a kith, passed through Centre, or Ran
dall's Grove, about 12 miles above this place, a ith
such force as to tear dow n the dwelling of Mr. Randall,
built of heavy logs, killing Mis. Randall instantly, and
seriously injuring her son, a young man of 22 or 23 1
years of age. We also learn, that within a few miles
of . lipton, Cedar co., the residence of Mr. Mudge,
(we believe that to be the name,) was blown to the
ground, dangerously wounding Mr. M., and injuring 4
'crs of his family. In its course, it tore down sor 6
houses in the same vicinity, and left neither tree nor I
fence standing behind it. It crossed the lillississippi a
, few miles above Cordovia, Ills., tearing down a barn,
unroofin residences,aari twisting offtrees at the ground,
but without the lass of life we believe.
What destruction was dope between these points
or how fair it extended, we know not, but fear it is
great, and many lives have been lost. A hotel at Mo
line, et the head of Rock Island, Ills., was struck by
lightning, injuring four or five persons.
More Shooting is St Lovis.—Tho Missouri Be•
publican of the 10th lost says: —" About noon, yester
day, a young man, named ins Howard, residing en
Oak street neur Third, threw some water from a win
dow, which fell on the person of a gunsmith, named F.
Hellinglams, who resided in the adjoining building.—
The latter immediately entered the dwelling in which
Ilowerd was—nr.et i.im on the stairs, and, aftet n few
words of altercation with him, shot him in the head.
The ball broke the skull. and inflicted a wound which
his physicians believe will prove fatal. Hellingluaus
was taken into custody, and committed to await au ex
aminatian to-day.
The wounded man says that the wetting of Hob
lingkaus' person was an accident, and thatbe was not
aware of the fact until accosted in an angry menner by
him on the stair landing. On perceiving Hellinghaus
draw a pistol, Howard struck him, and the former in
stantly fired. The wounded man is a native of New
Hampshire—his antagonist is a German.
Nominations.—The Senate rejected the nomination
of Mr. Green, of N J as Secretary of the Treasury.
The President then nominated Mr. G. H Bibb, of Ky.
who was confirmed. The claims of Messrs Wa!worth
and King, nominees for the Supreme Court, were dis
cussed and both nominations laid on the tat*, Sena
tor Talmadge was confirmed as Governor Wisco
nsin. A great number of less important nominations
were rejected.
Thomas W. Docr.—The Providence Transcript
of the 12th eays,ffint on the night previous, Mr Dorr's
motion for a unattrial had not been acted upon. It
goes on to say that a legal gentleman who was in New
port, thinks that a new trial will not be granted.—
There seems te be no 'efficient reason to anemia the
motion. If sentence must be passed, there is no al
ternative. The law makes nothing less than impris
onment forlife. In the hands of the Legislature—the
representatives of the people—his came will then rest,
and from that elune can ho hope or obtain pardon, if
he desires it. The Transcript doubts if he will ever
ask it.
