N,Ait Yof k Tribune undertakes to Correct some of our statements, and insinuates in a way any thing but becoming in no grave and gteat a man, that we have told "untruth;." We said that by the Constitution of Rhode hand, a property q. atifi cation was required fur voters. This h 3 says is a gross '•falsehood." We re-asset ton the authority of the do&unent we alluded to, that there is a property qualifteatson in Rhode Maud. The Constitution declanes that no man can "vote fur the City Council of the City of Providence unless he - shall within the next year preceding, leave paid °tax upon his property therein, valued at least, at $134." This privilege, too, is confuted to "native citizens"—leaving us to in fer that foreigners shall no vote at all, in Rhode Is land.' Aman with $134, (provided he is a native) may vote for any office on one year's residence--a ...man who has not this amount of property, niut have %iv years, residence to entitle him to vote for the few • offices he is permitted to share in the el-ction of. The Tribune says that our assertion that the Gover - nor 0f.8.. I. is under bait for criminalolfence is "false." ' We should have said the "late Governor"—Sam. W. King—he Was the Chief Algerine in the Dore. trouble. So much for the hasty and jindecent asserl ion of this eccentric anti accurate whig philosopher , who does not deny that King is under bail. But let us see if this learned Theban himself has never dealt in that best commodity of his party, unblushing falsehood. Atihen C. DARRAGO was elected in Congress from this trict he announced the fact that he was elected by "near 1000"--this is a falsehood. He also said in the same connection that Wm. WlLKitis had, in the fall ' of '43, a majority of 1000 over both whig candidates. We have turned to a whig almanac fur 1844, publish ed by this same editor, and there Mr Wits's? majority is set down at 317 ! How it would have shocked our federal philostvpher, if sec bad attempted 'to palm on the public so grUsa a falsehood. And how he would have been delighted to detect us in publish " ins a statistical book contradicting our own assertion. Again, let us see if ever this eccentric star I feder- alism has not told other and'greater falsehoods his paper of July 12, he attempts to defend Mr. CLAT for his conduct in the Crt.t.c r murder. Ho gives an account of the whole matter down to the challenging of Ces..tatz, and then says: "Bet what bad Mr. Clay to do with all this? Noth N. g en Cite wend, up to this point." The Italics are the editor's own. He wished to en force the idea that Mr. Clay did nothing but write the challenge. Six days after he wrote this emphatic line, he admits its want of truth iu the following sentence: "IttlkGßAvzs did consult Mr. CLAY on the matter 4 'after the' interview with Cilley, when he supposed "hiqwelf freed from the quarrel. • • Mr CLAY "suggested that what had passed between Mr. Graves •fisndMr.Cilley be reduced to writing, to guard against "future difficulty." We pass over the fact that this "suggestion" was the Mate which led to the duel and the death, and pur sue she editor's "falsehood," as established by the editor himself. The Tribune first says that Mr. CLAY had "seating se tke world" to do with the suattet up to the-time he wrote the .challenge. The challenge is dated February 423, 1838--Mr. CLAY made his "sag-- :ratios" on the 21st of February 1838—two days afore. So there is a gross and wanton falsehood of the Tribune proved upon the Tribune by tha.„Tribune itself. We might, no doubt, multiply instances of tii6 same kind—bet we 'will not take the trouble. We found what we have given by mere accident;—they, however, show what a huge stock of ansurance the eccentric philornopber of the Tribune must have to accuse any ono of pakiishing "falsehoods." biotic WHIG WIT.--That inapprombably funny and talented coon paper. the Louisville Journal, 'has the following original and very sarcastic remark in re . Julian to the editor of a democratic• paper in Louis ' walec Or TI.N,NES3V.K OF PSDINSTLVANJA Congresty NAirVa ASIIRICAK Assucta?tort•—We publish this morning the Constittuica and &des of the Native American Association recently organizod in our city. We are gratified w obaprve that in the fininsitiun of this society, ow' citizens have taken broader and more lib eral itiewa of the subject than many of the other sac ciations of the country. They do not appear to be in fluenced by that narrow minded feeling of malignant bigotry which has_ Impelled some of their party, in other places, to disgrace the name of Native Ameri can by aing it to persecute and revile a portion of our adopted citizens on account of their religious opinions. As declared in their constitution, the object of the as sociation is a political one, and in declaring their prin ciples they use neither insulting epithets or discourteous language toward those who - wonld, naturally, be oppo sed to their party. Although we totally disapprove of the objects of the Native American party, and believe that the principles it advocates are not in unison with the liberal spirit of our institutions,or the wishes and opinions of the pat riots who established our present form of government, yet when such a party is organized, we are pleased to see that it has no mote odious feature than the politi cal proscription which it world establish. This is bad enough, in all conscience. but it is liberal and kind when compared with the persecuting spirit that is inculcated by some other associations that have assumed the name of Native Americans. A SIGNIFICANT FACT.-16 whig leaders and their purchased organs, are continually assuring the people that the democratic candidates are opposed to the Tar. iff, and that they are in favor of a system that would bring ruin upon the manufacturing interests of the e4tuntry. This calumny is triumphantly refuted, by the fart that a large number of the most extensive manu facturers of this region aro warm supporters of Pour •ND DALLAS. Is it likely that those men would sup port candidates that are in favor of measures that would ruin the branches of industry in which they are engaged? This fact fully refutes the falsehood put forth by those who are endeavoring to force into the Presiden tial chair the man who "throttled the Tariff." Stiowt:q42 rittart TRUE COtOßS.—Notwithdanding that the whigs pretend to be gnat Gieuds of the Tar iff, their true feelings will burst out occasionally. The Gazette copies from the National Intelligeneer the Elec tion Returns ofitorth Carolina, and winds up a grand flourish by saying that tbe'whigs have gained the State "in spite of the Texas Fever and the TARIFF Hex ane!" Think of that ye Tariff men, oho the whigs are seeking to deceive and defraud out of your votes. They boast that they bait the democrats "is spite a the Twi' Humbug." OfVoutsc, the 'humbug" was sustained by the democrats. " Great quantities of Foreign Locks arc im ported and sold in this city on terms seriously detrimen tal to this branch of our manufactures? Suppose th.• Tariff' were lowered one half, every Look manufactur• er in the city, must .hut up shop, or mei , rcr the wages of his hands to maintain his ground. This is equal protection with a vengeance."—Gaseit,•. And who are the men that are breaking down the Lock makers of our city, by importing Lacks from England, made according to a special pattern to suit this trade? Who are they, we say? Who should they be? Why they are the munch friends of the man who "throttled the Tariff." The whiles talk loudly of pro tecting home manufactures, but yet they do not hesi tate to import and speculate in foreign goods to the ruin, as the Gazette alleges, of the home producer while their leader having made up his mind to "throt tle the Tariff," rans of from the public conned, to avoid giving a vote that will sustain the Lock makers and other American mechanic*. A CLAY SLANDER NAILXD TO THL ThP federal papers immediately after tho nomination of Mr Polk, started a teport that his grandfather was a tory in the days of the Revolution. This slander has been frequently contradicted, but it is still harped upon by the federal sheets. The following letter, however, should we think be sufficient to convince every man of ordinary honesty that the calumny has not the slighteet founduTion in truth: TU5C041114. Aln., July 24. 1314. To the Editors of the Franklin Democrat: Gentlemen:—Whereas, there is a tale going the rounds of the whig papers, asserting that the grandfa ther of the Hon. James K. Polk, was a tory; now, this is to certify that I was intimately acquainted with Eze kiel Polk, the grandfather of James K. Polk, during the revolutionary war, and that neither him nor any of his relations ever had a drop of to blood in their veins; but on the contrary, Ezekiel Polk vitasappointed to, and held the cffice of Colonel of the Militia, vat ated by the promotion of Thomas Polk to the office of Brig adier General. Any one who says or publishes that Ezekiel Polk was a tory, says or publishes that which is utterly false. SOLOMON REESE. NATIONAL BANK Coming out.—We lenrn, that since the Balk speech of Mr. White in New York, several of the Whig stompers have come out boldly for a Bank. The Brooklyn Eagle informs us that at n late meeting in the Brooklyn Log Cabin one of the speakers had the moral courage to reiterate, substantially, the views expressed by Mr. White. nnd'to charge the conceal ment of this great measure upon his co-workers as dishonest. Newark Morn. Post. When will our Bank Whigs, Dunlop. Darragh, Darsie, Duncan and T. Williams, have •the moral courage" to come out and denounce the concealment of this great. measure as dishonest, and those who are op posed to this issue as persons to "be mistrusted." A FURTHER CoRRoaoRATIoN or ONE of DEACON WHITE'S CHARGES AGAINST CLAY. --The Ohio States man copies the following from the Guernsey (Ohio) Jeffersoniam We republish, not with a desire to in jure Mr Clay's prospects—they are already as hope. less as his worst enemy could desire them—but for the purpose of substantiating the charge of gambling which the Gazette made against Mr Clay, and which the whigs are trying to disprove, thus placing the edi tor of their principal organ before the public as a wan ton calumniator of their own candidate: From the Guernsey (Ohio) Jefferionian, OUT WITH THAT LETTER. "We are informed by persons of the utmost credi bility, that at a public meeting in the west.rn part of this <Guernsey) county, held some time since, charges were preferred against Henry Clay by persons whose names we omit at present on account of their official connection with a highly respectable branch of the christian cherch. thefollewing we have understood, was the charge, viz "That Henry Clay, while on board a steamboat, on the Ohio River. was present in the cabin of the boat, on the Sabbath day owe, looking his son who was gambling, and that be (M_r.

AN Eart.osioN ComiNo.—We learn from the Bos ton Post, that the articled which appeared in the Mad isonian, reflecting severely upon the character of Henry Clay, and were published while Mr Webster was Sec retary of State, ananyeurusty, are to appear again, shortly, with the anther's name attache I, viz: "DAN IEL WEBSTER." POOR DEACON WHITE. The Gazette of Wedu;:a t y morning contained an announcement that its e to , White, bad left to Wn that morning , to be absent ntil Saturday evening.-- 1, Of course he had to leaver the paper under the edi torial control of some whig friend, perhaps his pro sent partner in Job printing, and former bitter enemy, George Pa'rkin. At all events it must have been left in charp of some person in whom he trusted, perhaps one of the "fifteen whip." It is strange, however, that after his own treachery to the old Ant:masonic party, that he should expect any person to be faithful to him. If he was weak enough to expect good faith from his ne W allies, the Gazette of this, Thursday, the first paper printed in his absence, must convince him, that the Clay men will not forgive his former condemnation of their id o l as a '•duellist" a "gambler" an "immoral and profane man," In that paper there is a long let ter from Lewistown, from which I extract the follow• ing most cruel and treacherous stab at Deacon White, or "the canting l'ecksn fl;" as Judge Baird very hap pily nicknamed him: "This state has truinyauer. men" (men who make re n cloak for their rascality, politically and pc : "unwary) "pin will find them proclaiming Mr Clay a "duellist and rolling up the whites of their eves in holy "horror at his motel character. Now you know, lam "a pretty close observer of men, and I tell you now "have never seen a man denounce Henry Clay as a "duellist, but was deficient himself in moral and phy "ideal courage. In a word, he VMS a coward. And I "have never seen a man reviling Henry Clay's moral "character, but that man needed his hypocritical crwr. "age and sanctileniaus cant to keep his men rolleu "character within 40 per cent of par." Such is the langunee applied to Deacon White, or the "sanctimonious Peckiniff," by his own selected and trusted locum tenant, during his 'thirstier. For more than eighteen months the Deacon hail persevered in his objections to Henry Clay, because he was 'n duellist.' 'a gambler,' 'an immoral and profane man," and now during his absence, he is pointed out as a Aypocridical, sanctimonious canter, and a coward w ith • rotten character, in his own paper. Is it possible dint White cannot see bow his new al lies despise, scorn end nauseate him? Cnn he really be so stupid as not to see the treatment which he must receive, at their hands after the CHCZZIEwIT MILS/RA.

A DEMOCRAT MU) PROTESTA;T OF PITT Tr From the A :net ic:ox Scotinel GOV. PORTER AND THE PARDONING Pt) %% E Ft In a late numbeeof one of oar cotemporarica—ihe editor of which has been placed under bonds to answer a charge of inciting to riot—a long article occurs evi dently intended to pahia te the conduct of the Southwark mob,—in which the writer indulge in a strain of the grothreat abuse of Gov Porter, fur his efforts to restore the public tranquillity. We do not deem it necessary to enter into anv de fence of the measures adopted by Gov. P. to put clown the rimers and to maintain the supremacy of the lutes, especially from a4rtaults coming from soca A QUARTER If there were the least necessity for such a course, we would have only to refer to the spontaneous expres •ions at appribation which have emanated from the citizens and public authorities of Philadelphia; and from the press of both political parties in almost everY section of the Union. There is, however, a portion of the article to which we allude, that requires a passing notice. For the purpose of keeping, alive the spirit of resistance to the laws. and of justifying the conduct of the actors in the Kensington and Southwark riots, this editor assails the Executive, in terms of course invective for the ex ercise of the pelt - bating power, and attributes the law less outbreaks, of which the editor himself is the apolo gist. to an abuse of that power. It cannot have been Emotion that upon the occasion of the pardon of E. %V. Hotter and his partner for an alleged libel. the op position to Gov. Potter connected a similar charge and sought to make it a point in the election of 1341. The fiefs were then distinctly laid before the people, one Gov. P. was re-elected by a majority three fold greater than at his first election. As dint charge is now renewed for the purpose of palliating murder treason, arson and riot, it may be proper to show that it is without foundation, and that the present EXecui ive has not exercised the phrdoning powerto as great an extent as any of his predecessors, with a single exception. By a teport made by the Secretary of the Common wealth to the Senate on the 22d of February, 1843, (see Senate Journal, 1843. vet 1, p 453,) it appear* that the following ii the relative number of pardons granted up to that period, by each successive adminis tration. viz: By Thomas Mifflin 9 years 611 pardons. Thomas M'Kcan 9 " Simon Snyder 9 " William Findlay 3 " Joseph Heisler John A Shultz 6 " George Wolf 6 " Joseph Ritner 3 '' David R Porter The reader will thus petceive that the charge a- gainst Governor Porter of an unpreced anted exercise of the pardoning power is without Etundution. The average annual number pardoned under his adminis tration is much less than that of his predecessors, with the exception referred to. When the large increase in population, and the consequent iscrenso in the number of convictions, are taken into consideration, the con clusion is established beyond all cavil, and cannot be shaken by the assertions of any apologist of mobs, that the Executive clemency has been far more spar ingly used under the present administration than any which preceded it, with the exception to which we have alluded. But this print with the view of still further sustain. log the Southwai k mob, endeavors to trace the present spirit of insubordination to the pardon in 1840. of the two persons convicted of being concerned in the Ken sington Bail Road riot, and stigmatises that net of the Executive as a full "impunity" awarded the prisoners for their crime. The facts of the case will show that this denuncia tion of...the Executive is entirely gratuitous. -..• I After the conviction and imprisonment of Ortman and kennings, the two rioters alluded to, double arose es to their guilt, and measures were at taken to procure their release. Recommendations foi.their pardon were presented to the Executive, signed by the three Judges ofthe Court by whomtbeywercitiled, by fourteen of the Grand Jury who fomed the . bills against them, by a majority of the traverse jury who convicted them, by. six of the Representatives from the County of Philadelphia, and by several thousands of the citizens of Philadelphia. In fact the petition was the largest ever presented fur Executive clemency. So . strong was the interest made in their behalf t and au ] general seemed to be the doubt of their actual guilt,. l arising from proof discovered subsequent to,tbeir con- 1 viction, that we presume no Governor would have felt himself at liberty to refine to interpose his prerogative. In the pardon which was granted, the reasons for the act are set forth as fallowa "From an examination of the facts, in proof before the Court and Jury on the said trial, I have no doubt both the verdict and sentence of the Court were war ranted by the proof, and were strictly in accordance with the law. But as the trial and sentence took place within : a brief petind after the crime charged upon the defendants was supposed to have been per petnned, and as they did nut produce on the trial, cer tain witnesses whose testimony, writ has since appear ed, would have been very material to their defence,end would have rendered their guilt exceedingly doubtful, I have felt it to be my duty, although they did not, from some unexplained cause, ask time of the Court to pro. cure their witnesses, to grant them a pardon. It is a maxim of the law, utmost as old as the law itself, that it is the certainty and not the severity of punishment that deters from the commission of crime. The truth of this maxim is more and more clearly estahrshed by the daily experience of mankind. Nothing so power fully tends to weaken the obligation of penal laws, and to destroy the regard and obedience of those fur whose restraint they were enacted, as the infliction of pun ishment on persona whose guiltia questionable. It is one of the humane pi inciples of our penal laws, that if the jury entertain reasonable doubt of the guilt of the accused, it is their duty to acquit, and I du nut see any ground for refusing the condetnned the benefit of this consideration, even lifter conviction, when the evidence on which the doubt arises, is discovered and produced subsequent to the trial." FOR THK POST With this statement of facts we leave our content pot ary to the enjoyment of all the glory which it may derive from its rffirts to puliia-te rebelliota against the Laws of the lend, by its misrepresentation/to( the con duct of tho 'Executive in the exercise of a cunstito tional function.
