CDWARD M'CORKLE,
tar The severe, eccentric, accurate and philosoph
ical editor of di. 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."

less as his worst enemy could desire them—but for the

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

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."
