` rs
Iltieame, sat placidly, smiling on her visitors, the pie

' laughing louder and looking happier than he had ever

THE CLAY Cva.—This body, which has been
meeting since the opening of the campaign, in meagre
numbers, and transactiug its little business in most
comfortable peace and quietness, resolved on last Fri
day evening that it would get excited. So at it they
went, and the throes of a galvanized frog were not
more terrible than the efforts of this "dead and effete"
political cabal to raise a "darned fuss, generally!"
They first adopted a preamble and resolution in fa
vor of the Tariff of 184:?., in which they denounce
JAS. K. POLK as an "open and avowed" opponent of
that measure. We are not sutprised that the CLAT
CLUB should deem it necessary to pass a resolution in
favor of this Tariff, because they hove got it into their
heads that it is popular in this section, and after the
decided opposition of J Q ADAMS, Speaker WHITE,
and Clay's other special friends to this very Tariff,
they must do something to sustain their claim to he
the especial friends of the measure, which they now
wish to use for electioneering effect.
But do these (Mardi suppose, that the pas-ing of
a frothy resolution, by a mere corporal's guard of the
adulators of that "gambler, duellist, arid immoral and
profane man," will be an explanation to the people
why CL T left his post in the Senate when the Tariff
was about to be taken up, and why his friends in Con
great had determined to "kill the Tariff," and did their
best to accomplish it? Do these miserable tricksters
imagine that this empty resolution of their meagre
meeting will be taken by the friends r‘f the Tariff as
an apology for the deadly hostility manifested towards
it by their party in Congress, when the fate of the
measure hung by a single hair?
But further, to "support the Tariff of 1842," this
sapient Club have resolved to hold a Convention in
this place as soon as is deemed necessary. They
should invite Gen. WA DDT THoMrSoN to address
them—he made a speech for the wh;gs of Albany
against the Tariff of 1842—n0 doubt he could defend
the conduct of AD•pis ,WH ()INSLEY & Co., in op
posing that Tariff, in an able mariner.
The Club passed a resolution challenging the Dem.'
crews to discuss the • Tariff, Annexation of Texas, &c.
on the slump,'—why did not these bungling deceivers
have the courage and the honesty to put their absorbing
and predominant measure, a U. S. Bank, 'just like
the old one,' into the catalogue? Do they suppose
that they can evade or escape that important issue, or

We can also confidentry recommend those papers to

PHILLIPS & SMITH.
Here is a palpable admission that the document,
they have already published on this subject are NOT
'authentic.' There is much candor in this admission,
and we do hope that they may be able to procure
something that can be relied on—they are right in their
idea that they have published enough of false and un
antlkenticakd papers against Mr Polk.
nrAmong other subjects of discussion before the
people, GEORGIC DARSIM'S Militia Bill must not be
forgotten. To-be-sure, the whigs do not mention it in
their programme, but as the democrats will have some
thing to do in arranging the details, we hope they will
not overlook that important matter.
Gay. POLK'S AX CSS TORS.—Writhing under the ef
fects of his charges against Hemel( CLAY, which he
cannot and dare not formally retract, finding from the
averted looks of those whose servant he is, that the
friends of CLAY despise him, the editor of the Ga
zette has been anxious and impatient to And some
thing on which toAiase an abusiveattack on JANES K.
rote. He seized wiihsavage avidity, on the charge
that he was a •duellist l —.but that falsehood its authors
had to swallow—he was in despair—the federal slan
derers were not 'quick' enough with 'the damnable
I inventions they were batching'—but at last he is
I
i gratified—they assert that Gov Putt. is the 'grand
' son of a Tory'—and the harrassed and ensiles seek.
er after food for slander, falls back and chuckles with
delight as be devours the precious morsel.
'Now,' says he, I shall obtain the confidence of the
whip. Now I shall compound for my abuse of CL AY,
by abusing POLK rooretitterly, if possible. What if
I did say CLAY wasa 'gambler,' a 'duellist,' a 'clebau
chon;andis 'profane 'and immoral' than,—can I not
neutralize that, byiettouncing JAMES K. POLK as the
grand-son of. a Tory?' -
So to work goes our exemplary Cantwell, and with
all the vehemence and fire of a true Pick wickian, he
utters tremendous denunciations of the Democratic
candidate, on the alleged faults of his ancestors.
Likes rigid Israelite, he wants to visit the sins of the
father on the children 'even to the third generation.'
It is unfortunate that his abuse of Cts. T is nut so fur
removed. It was nut Clay's grandfather • pooh mar.,
who was a 'duellist, a debauchee, and immoral or pro
fane,' but those startling sins were done in his own pro
per person, and not by his 'grandfather.'
But to be serious, if so false and ridiculous a charge
is worthy of serious attention,—wh o can wond.r that
the hired defamers employed by the whigs. should thus
abuse Cul. Pour? Did they not abuse, even more vi
rulently, the great and good man of the Hermitage—
did they not denounce Jackson as a 'amen who never
knew what mercy or magnanimity was: whose char
acter has been contaminated with treason, and whose
society has been mixed and mingled with traitors;
whose heart rusl hands smoke and fume with the blood
of innocence, massacred ince°, reflection.'
They did not content themselves in their war of
defamation nri him, with the abuse ofmen; fur want of
fathers apd 'grandfathers,' the base and cowardly
slander attacked the characters of women—the ma -
ther and the tosfe of Jackson, were dragged before the
public gaze. Gil. Pout should not complain if they
confine their abuse to the dead ewe of his family, if
they but let the women who surround his fire-side alone.
We do nut suppose that this consummate and crue
slander will be thought worthy of an elaborate refute
tion. The following from the Nashville Union will be
considered sufficient at least until the Clay Club can
get something more "authentic;" they should wt ite forth.
with:
•• The Louisville Journal, edited by Mr. Clay's bio
grapher, and which is his confidential organ in the
west, is waging the same kind of warfare upon Gov.
Polk which was waged by Mr. Clay's organ in 182.8
against Gen. Jackson. Unable to invent any slander
against Guy. Polk himself, which can effect his char
' acter, that vile tool of Mr. Clay is engaged in digging
up the ashes of his ancestors and slandering them be
fore the people of Kentucky. He charges and asserts
that Gov. folk's ancestor was a tory in the revolution,
and only escaped the galloss's by concealment. This
most fool slander is uttered by Mr. Clay's confidential
friend, rind Circa unrelniked by him.—.% viler slander
never issued from the mouth of fiend than is this which
Mr Clay's biographer utters. Yet Mr. Clay is willing
to see the ashes of the ancestor of his competitor rak
ed up and slandered, and to enjoy the benefit of the
eidunn.y. It is just such conduct us this that has for
ever disappointed and przstrated the ambitious hopes
of Mr. Clay. The truth i•, that nu mcii in the south
were more highly distinguished nor more promi‘amtly
remarkable for early fighting and hard fighting in the
camp of freedom, than that of Gov. Polk's ancestors
and relatives in North Carolina. It is w ith shame and
scorn that we, the descendants of North Carohider /1,
find our next neiglih.ir reviling the great and good
name of Polk—one of whom ss as shot through at the
Cowperis—shot through at Germantown and shut
through at Monmoath. A tit mily who wore sonic of
the deepest scars and lnightest laurels of the revole
tion. It does seem that no man can come in the way
of Mr Clay, that he is not stigmatized and slandered
by his hireling tools; but it is a matter of consalation,
that in every instance heretofore, justice has been
meted out to the slanderer. So it will be now."
Fun THE CLAY CLUB.—.I.I the members of this
body have taken a new notion, and have suddenly re
solved to deal only in "AU TIIF.NTIC" papers we
submit the f;d lowing for their consideration. We feel
esoecially glad that the unscrupulous and careless prac
tiers of the Club are to be abandoned, and that they
will now only deal in well established facts. It will
give 113 pleasure to furnish them with a series of 'au
eltentic" documents concerning the life, services, pros.
pec and character of HttrißT CLAY, taken fromtheir
own organ, the Pittsburgh Gazette
We will begin by quoting a pniamble of the Clay
Club,denouncing the Gnzette for misrepresenting Clay's
views: it was passed, Feb 11 , 1843:
" Whereas, The Pittsburgh Gazette and the liar
riiiburgh Telegraph, though professing Whig prin
ciples, have been, and still are, engaged in misrepre.
seining the riCWA of Mr Clay upon the subject of pro
tection."
in reply to thiA, the editor * of the Gazette, among,
other thingx. wrote el fellows, on the 15th of Februa
ry, 1843:
"In reference to our statements of Mr CLAY ' S pres
ent tariff principles, we have given them just as we
understand them; and we are not alone in our opinion,
for Mr Clay is supported by the Whigs at the South
for holding just such principles os we understand
him to hold. When his language will allow so
mach latitude of construction, that his friends in
different sections of the country support him for
opposite reasons, the Clay Club hardly does us jus
tice in charging us with misrepresentation.
"But we begin to have doubts about the propriety
of our using the name Whig in reference to ourself at
present. The meaning of the term Whig, NO N, is
a 'Clay man.' The wo-cls have become synonymous.
To such an extent has this idolatry been curried, that
if Mr C/A,/ should die, the whig party would die with
him. Its 'sour would be gone, and the poor, inani
mate corpse would be powerless. We do not wish to
place our political principles in such jeopardy.
As far as we can co-operate with the Clay Club and
the Whig party, in opposing the unhappy influences of
Locufocoism, and in supporting the principles above
noted, it will give us great pleasure to do so; but when
me are asked to do that which our conscience tells
us is wrong, there our paths diverge. We will do
every thing honorable for the promotion of correct prin
ciples—nothing for the promotion of any man, apart
from principle."
There is an "authentic . ' fact, in the history of the
CLAY CLUB, and the editor of the Gazette! IVO shall
have more, perhaps. hereafter.
lar'We are really diverted to compare the names
on the whig committees this year with those on their
committees in 1840. We shall not particularize, or
set man against man here, but we advise those who
lack amusement to get the proceedings of the Clay
Club, see who they are that fill the places of Inwza,

SENTENCE OF MR. DORR.
We regret to say that the unwise and unnecessary
persecution of poor Dorr has at length been consum
mated by sentencing him to IMPRISONMENT AT
HARD LABOR FOR LIFE !
Humanity cries out against it, and history will blush
to record it. How it contrasts with the truly Amer
ican course pursued by the government of Massachu
setts in the case of the Shays and his associates, in
1787. How it assimilates to the course at this mo
ment by the tories of England towards the g reat O'-
Connell.
We know we are disobliging some very dear and
valuable friends, and that we shall be misunderstood,
and still more misrepresented, by those who vainly
imagine that a blow at us it a wound to the (nose of
Liberty. But we have never yet parted with ourl,iri b
right, of letting our sympathies follow our own judg
ment, and of speaking them forth whenever we may
thereby alleviate the burdens of the unfortunate.—
Another time we shall give our views more in full on
ois case. We now simply say, that this whole pro
ceeding against Mr. Dorr, is in our view a disgrace to
the country.—Emancipator.
