He has been too long used to command—too longisubmitted to as an absolute Dictator, in the party of which he is the ack nowledged leader, to put himself under the guardian , ship of any little knot of third rate politicians, and sub mit his opinions to their revisal. It is es:tv, therefore, while the whig,4 have this sort of' a mtt . fora standard-hearer, to arrive at, the true is ve' of this contest,—and we will hold the whip to thorn with unshaken tenacity.

Austria, 111143111,, Holland, and all the great powers of Europe bare their notional banks." What folly it is for the whigs to attempt to evade this question of a Bank, or keep it nut of view. How a. retmly silly it is fur them to set a milk-and-water politician like Mr Fettwann, to dilate and render palatable, :he stmng alid fiery draughts of ultra Bank ism. which Mr CI. AT administers to the people. Another of the important questions in this contest, is the Tdriff. No true friend to a -pernrinent rate of ditties. would wi.li to haye the Tariff depend on the ihmtuartions of politics, yet the whigs of this section are seeking to stake the Democrat.; assume a position imam iletroaiw Tariff.

If the falsehood - had been put forth on his own veracity,-of course we could not have noticed it, a 3 no person would believe his contradiction of our statement, but he, has the impu dence to appeal-to the chief Marshal of the evening to substantiate what he says. Now it happe'ns that we have had a conversation with Mr Patterson on the sub ject. and from what he tells us, the outrageous condact of the whigs was more infamous tWn we represented it to be in our paragraph. He informs us that at the request of a whig gentleman he stopped for a consider able time in the neighborhood of the Methodist Church, on Liberty street, fortho purpose of preveetiog an as sault, which a number of persons who had gathered in dust vicinity appeared disposed to Make on the pro cession. They used the rr.ost insulting epithets towards - the democrats; crowded them out of)ine as they pas- - sed along, and, in fact, used every effort to provoke them to comit a breach of the peace. This can be sub stantiated by hundred.,, and yet this Mendacious dog in Third street, ha. 3 the impudence to deny that any in sult was offered. We would be sorry to suppose br state 'that any respectable portion of the Clay men ‘irould countenance such ruffianly conduct; no members of the Whig pm ty but greasy Jim and the loafers who are his fit associ ales, would be guilty of it. and thel, on the evening of the 3d, insulted the . democratic Procession. TUE IR TRUE FEELi SO.—The whiffs of North Caro lina boast that they have carried thit state in spite of the Texas fever" and the " TortrA ambug." This is Mr Clay's southern face; his frie4da are the great free trade men of that region, and n'tgard the protec tion of domestic industry as a! "fariff. humbug." They have confidence in their candnisiie, because he "throttled the Tariff," flew from his piece in the Senate to avoid voting for the bill of '42, hits devoted all his exertions since 1832 towards a reduititin of Tariffs, and implored Congress in ?he most solemn manner not to raise the question cf , oteetion: The men who will support such on enemy of protection may well pronounce the Tariff a huinbug. PROTECT HONE f nosrar, is the cry oldie whigs, and the tecords of the Government show that while Mr Clay was Secretary of State, he paid, out of the public 2'reasury, itt the ,course of a few months, eight hundred and fifty-four dollars for English Books and papers.. This is the manner in which the whigo protect home Inclagry:" NEPED out.—A Mr Stephen F Miller, of Tusca loosa, has been inwrogating Mr `Clay on the Texas question, and ht►a, we think, very unwittingly permitted a si-w of Mr Clay's southern face to appear, which was nut intended for the public eye. After speaking in the most contemptuous tone of the Liberty men, he says, "PERSONALLY, I COULD HAVE NO 013- JECTION TO THE ANNEXATION OF TEXAS." Now we venture to say, that Mr Cloy never intended this for publication; it destroys all thecffect of his anti annexation letter to the mirth, and proves in the broad est light the demptive course he is pursuing. Why is Henry Clay pmsonally in favor of annexation' Why because many of his personal ft iends are there knights of the pistol and car ! ' table, and its annexation would afford a better market for the " fat and sleck.slaves" of which he Waited to Mr Mendenhall.

Palk on epretence that be is opposed to.. I protection upon word; end Mr. John M Clayton announces it as his belief that if Mr Polk is elected, "it will put a knife to the throat of every sheep in the country, '—in con sequence whereof our et:relish eetemporaries -join- in one general "ball!" of pathetic remonstrance against the sudden manufacture of so much mutton We are prepared to show, however, that all this outcry on the part of whiggery, is neither more nor less than an effort to 'pull wool" over the eyes of the people, and that those who have shown themselves really hostile to a protection of the wool grower, are the leaders of the whig party. It is true, as our opponents assert, that in the tariff debate of January, 1833, Mr. Polk said, "my own opinion is that wool should be duty free," as quoted by ,the whig newspapeni. But this is only half of the sen tence.. Mr Polka remark wee as follows: "My own opinion is that wool should be duty free; but, es wool growers think otherwise we have retained a duty of fifteen percent. upon the imported article " He there fore, to benefit the woolgrowers, waived an opinion,• founded upon the assertions of a number of' manufab turera and wool growers, waived an opinion, founded upon the assertions of a number of manufacturers and wool growers, whose evidence had been taken before the Committee on Manufactures, and agreed to a pro tective dory. Look ye, now, what follows. On reference to the Congressional Debates, on the present Tariff Bill, in August 1842, we find the subjoined: Mr. Choate and Mr. Simmons, (ultra whiga) "en deavored to showthat she coarse wools from abroad, do not come i n competition with the wool grow er here." "Mr. Wright (democrat) maintained that it did come directly in competition with a large class of growers of coarse wools, in this country." "Mr Wright moved'to strike out the duty of five per cent. on unmanufactitred course wool, 'and insert twen ty per cent." "Messrs. Choate and Simmons ()rpm; nin THS •NENDMENT, and endeavored to show that there was bo rnmpetinn in the coarj,e w )ola," "Mr Wright replied, thawing that there wad, and alluded to the etrateroes petitions for protection on coarse wool of au dere: iption."

But let us go a little furthei, and sre who actually putt the knife to the innocent throats of the 'unfortunate sheep, by voting against Mr IV,right's protective duty of twenty percent en coarse wool: Nays—Archer.

And those were—hear it, ye lambkins—act. WHIGS. - . . After this putting the knife to the throat of every sheep that has the had luck to have coarse wool upon his back, it would, we think, he but proper in our cn• temporaries to look a little sheepish themselves. But no—not they—it is no part of the ‘t h;ggish and coonish game to do any thing of that sort. With this vote, by the very leaders under whom they are marshalled, star ing them in the face, they denounce Mr. Polk, with loud vociferation*, a• opposed to the interest of the wool growers, when he agreed to a duty of fifteen per cent. w-hile•whig Senators did riot wish to have the ar ticle protected nt all! From these facts, the public may learn how to esti mate the system of electioneering which coonism adopt. for 1844.. It is a system replete throughout with trickery and deception; and, as nor opponents have done iu regard to the sheep, so they do in reference to other shines.

Judge Paschall, of Van Buren, Ark., was among the unfor tunate. though it is thought that he will recover.— Those who remained on board ascended the hurricane deck, and were conveyed to the shore in yawls and flat boats; the most of the trunks and baggage in the cabin were saved, anti some of the freight on the boiler deck; but most of the latter, and all that was in the hull, was either lost or batik,' injured.

KENTUCKY ELECTION We find it almost impassible to present any accur.uo returns from this Siati, they come in such a confused and awkward state. The vote is a very heavy one, and the democratels largely increa.3ed. The Whig ma. jority in the city of Louisville, is 674; in 1840 it was 1,235. The demscrais have increased 527 since 1810, and the whips have fallen off 26. The total vote of the city i 33,698. We have not room for the vote in the dittereta coun ties—it would take up half otlr paper— , -and as none of the accounts before us give the whole vote in any place but the city of Louisville, no idea can be formed of the actual state of things by comparing them with the official returns of fernier years. We prefer, therefore, to wait for something _more satisfactory - than any tic-. count *o have yet received. So flu the returns appear favorable to the democrets, and although Owsley is un doubtedly elected Governor, their majority will be te• duccd one half.

CHANGES We have on file about twenty columns of changes from the w hig to the democratic ranks, among which we find a great number ef the most active and in fluential II A RR ISON orators in the campaign of 1840. We will endeavor to publish a few of these changes next week. In the meantime, however, we will re cord a change that will be viewed of mote importance than any•other ibat hits taken place since the nomi nation of the Baltimore Convention ! We allude. to JOSHUA F. COX; Esq, of Somerset, who, re have the very best authority for saying, is bitterly hostile to t h e e „: : : : :!nt i of HENRY CLAY! Mr Cox was al ways recognized as . one of the lead% members of the whig and antimasonic.i;:trty, they having elected him to several distinguished posts of trust and honor; and the high standing he has heretofore ocoupied in the antimasonic ranks will give a force to bis opinions that will, we have no doubt, be the means of diverting some thousand* of the honest antimasons of Penn sylvania and elsewhere from the ranks of Henry Cloy. Mr Cox. was conscientiously an antimason, and urged this question strongly upon that citizens of Somerset 1 county.—bat he has too much regard for his character , to swallow all his former professions and&clarations and vote for HENRY CLAY, a Grand 11,k Mason! , We have no doubt that hundreds of the honest anti masonic farmers of Somerset will join Mr Cox in his righteous opposition to Henry Clay. His influence will be felt throughout the entire Union, he having been extensively known as q public man. Our breth- . ren of the prres may speak of this change without feat of contradiction, and we Limit they will herald it . a-., broad to all quarters of the Globe. Truly, the demo erotic seats are becoming crowded !—Bedford Gat. The Editor of the Gazette has not said all; M. Cox will not only oppose Clay, but will give his vote to Governor Polk, and that too with a tight hearty good will. This is, ns the Gazette observes, a most important change. No man iu this State performed more efficient service fur the opposition than Mr. Cox; no representative in the State Legislature from this county, who filled that station with more ability, and the fact that he was chosen not less' than four times as their representative, contrary to his own wishes, as well as being honored by a seat in the Convention to; cl o amend the Constitution the State, shows in what i estimation ho is held by t e people of this County. I It is true that Mr Cox, account of pressing bust- i ness engagements, will not be able to take an active part in the ensuing campaign, but the influence of his ' exam* will, notwithstanding, be felt here. Mr Cox is a man of fine ability, and has tisen to the head of his profession in this county. Are there not many ! who will follow Mr Cox's example? Can they vote for a High Mason, the father of the Bankrupt Law, by which' thousands of honest, hard working men have , been swindled; and the advocate of another Bank? I We will see.—Semerset Guard. 0:7 "Phillura, dear," said a loving hathand to his loyal spouse, who was several years the junior, " what do you say to moving west ?"
