A FEDLRAL SLANDER RENOTED.—Some of the Hessians employed by the federal p arty to abuse the democratic candidates, published, among other slan ders, a statement that the grandfather of Mr Pelk was a wry in the revolution. We believed this to be a falsehood from the start, end the following article from the Nashville Union, giving the most positive de nial to the charge, will satisfy every honest man of its falsity. Of course, it would be useless to request the federal organ of this city, to correct the slander which it has been it stiumemal it,eirrulatirp f.r be will do nothing to injure the hopes of the fifteen whigs: GOV POLK'S ANCESTORS—REFUTATION OF A VILE SLANDER Every good manovithout distinction of party, has seen with indignation and regret n vile slander, citcu hued through the wl.ig papers—the Richmond (Va.) Whig, Louisville ( Ry.) Jolll7lllli, Mobile( Ala ) Whig paper, and other kindred prints—charging that Gov RAdlets grandfather, the lett Col Ezekiel Polk. of North Carolina, eras a tory in the revolution. A baser libel on a deceased patriot never issued from a licentious press. However the fact might have been, no charit able or honorable man would believe for a moment, that the moral or political standing of Gov Polk ought to be affected by it. But thecipmge, in every possible sense, is' vile fabrication."'

It is proper that it should he stated here, that at an early day, under the authority of distinguished citi zens of North Carolina, Gov Polk's native State, who have taken the matter in hand as being due to their State and the honorable name of Polk—and in vindier time of a deceased patriot of the revolution—a- full and , perfect refutation of this slander will bo given to the world from proofs heretofore taken, and now being collected—a great portion of them procured from per manent state records and highly credible living men. The writer of these remarks .peaks of these things as perfectly Cr* ' eain and within his personal knowledge and information, as to the existence of the proofs,and the intended course of Gov Polk's friends in his native State That the refutation will put the propagators of the slander to open shame, vindicate the reputation of the decd, and bring new honors to the Irving, arte facts upon which all Gov Polk's friends mny repose with perfect confidence. To say more in this place, would be forestalling the praiseworthy labors of the honora ble and distinguished citizens who have this matter now in hand elsewhere, and whose work, when done, will be ample. perfect and thorough. The Nashville whig papers. with all their rancour towards tiov Polk, have sot dared to propagate or re publish this libel. They dare nut now do it—or even insinuate that it is true. Ma CLAY AND THE ABOLITIONISTS. — The Gazette very adroitly omitted that part of Mr Clay's Raleigh Speech which related to abolitionism. He there brief ly refers them to his reply to Mr MENDENHALL in In diana, forhis sentiments with respect to the abolition ists. We have a copy of the reply to Mendenhall be fore us, end are by no means surprised that the Ga zette and its friends should wish to keep that docu ment, so insulting to Liberty men, from the "public eye." We make some extracts. It will be remem bered that on the let of October, 1842, at Richmond. Indiana, Mr Mr.anESHALL, a prominent member of the Society of Friends, and of the Liberty Party, pre sented a petition to Mr CLAY, asking him to manumit his slaves. Under the impreseion that his folluwers, whose "respect to the laws" he vaunted in his Raleigh Speech, were disposed to tear Mr MENDENHALL to pieces, when he presented his petition, Mr. CLAY' began: "I hope that Mr. Mendenhall may he treated with the greatest forbearance and respect. I assure my fel low citizens here collected that the presentation of the petition has not reamsiorted the slightest pain, nor ex cited one solitary disagreeable emotion. If it were to be presented to nie,.l prefer" that irshould be dune in the face of this vast assemblage. I think I can give it such an answer as becomes me, and the subject of which it treats. At all events, I entreat and beseech my fellow citizens, for their sake, for my country's nuke, for my sake, to offer no disrespect. no indiguity, no violence, in word or deed, to Mr Mendenhall." He then proceeds to argue against abolitionism: "I know well, that you and those who think with you controvert the legitimacy of slavery, and deny the right of property in slaves. But the law of my State and other States has otherwise ordained. Thelaw may be wrong in your opinion, an& ought to be repeal ed; but then you arid your associates are not the law makers for us, and unless you can show some author ity to nullify our. laws we must continue to respect them. Until the law is repealed, we must be excused fur asserting the tights---ey, the property in slaves which it sanctions, authorises, and • vindicates " • • • "And what is the foundation of this appeal to mein Indiana to liberate the slaves undet my care in Ken. tacky? It is a general declaration in the act ennoun. cing to the world the independence, pf the _ t hi r teen American Colonies, that all men are created equal." '.'That declaration, whatever may be the extent of its import, was tnadeby the delegations of the thtrteen States. In most of them slavery existed, and had long existed, and was established - by law. It was in troduced and forced upon the colonies by the para mount law of England. Do you believe that, in ma king that declaration, the States that cone.urred in it intended thin It simold be torturedinto a virtual email cipation ef all thailtries within their respective lim its? Would Virginia and the other Sout he rn States lanweve-ttaited-Seedeelesatito-shickt was..tabain terp- reted into an abolition of-slavery among them? Did anyone of the thirteen:States entertain such a de sign or eapinztatiorit To impute sucha secretand UM' avowed purpose would be to charge a polities! fraud upon the noblest band of patriots that ever assembled in council—a fraud upon the confederacy of, the Rey olution—a fiend epos the Union of those States, whine ormstitution not only recognised the lawfulmiss of shi very, but permitted the importation of slaves from At ricer mail the year 1868. And lam bold to say that, if the doctrines of ultra political abolitionists bad been seriously proonulgate,d at the epoch of our Revolution, Our gloriosar independence would never have been achieved—stevaynever."
