WHIG TOLERATION AND RESPECT FOR THE LAWS. ...Cie last Saturday eveni tg. our citizens were disturbed t at a late hour of the night, by a band or bands of row t. dies, who paraded round the streets singing and shout :, trig for Clay. About 10 o'clock, one of these plemant little parties in passing through Pitt township, stopped . befortythe office ofdA.S. C. CUMMINS, cne of the jus• f . ties' of that township, and poured front their foul throats tiro frelingiof their black hearts, in expressions like these: "Htiroth for Henry ;Clay!" "G—d d—n g'. the Papa end Popery!" "Hurrah for Henry Clay!"— '"To hell with the Pope and Popery!"—"Hurrah for Henry Clay!" kg Mr-Cummins, who was in the office talking to some of his friends, cetne to the door on hearing these say . age shouts, when he was saluted with i "'You come out in the street and show yourself—you sl—d'Papist—G—d d—n you fora Papist." Mr Cummins had no police at hand who could cope itthe rowdies, so he was obliged to retire into his and they went away shouting ‘• hurrah for Clay, - d—n the Pope !" L These rioters belong to a party which professes re ligious toleration—a party on which Clay, their leader, has passed a special eulogium, for their respect for the iiturkt Comment on such p&ruclesi and shocking pro. .

We are told, however, that the whjg orators were answered so fully and effectively by 10Detnocmt who happened to be present, that they evinced their morti fication by all the indications of rudeness and rowdy. isms for which they have become famous. Some of the decent and considerate of the party, tried to pro cure a fairhearing for Mr Woodward, and meant. rably succeedei But he bit so hard, and cut so deep ly, that they contained themselves with difficulty, tho' Iris remarks were delivered in the mildest and most ferbeating manner. WA young friend of Got, mARKLE who has just returned from a visit to him, learns from the Genotal that he had received a letter from Lancaster, and that he did not intend to answer it. The old gentleman said be had written ono letter which Ito thought had injured him, and he would nut write another. So then, we 'are to have nothing more for "the public eye" from that source. ,GIVING IT VP.—We ere infoimed that &very promi nent squatter, who is u specill friend of General :WAR KLE, has said that if he is beaten 3,000 votes, in this state, Clay will be beaten 6,000. This looks like threat ened treason. Of course, if Clay don't get Alerkle's vote, treachery will be abroad. Let the friends of Harry of the West look to it. CLAY on DUELLING.—It is astonishing that the editor of the Gazette is so backward about substanti ating his grave charges against Hettilr CLAY ; Doc umenktifter document has appektred, all going to prov e in the most conclusive manner, the troth of the asser tions of the editor, that Mr Clay is a "dualist," "gam bler," &e., yet not one line of them is published in the Gazette. The latest proof of the Gazette's assertion is in a letter from CLAY himself, to a number of citi zens of ‘Vestmorelend county, published last Saturday in the Spirit of Liberty. The letter was submitted to the Gazette man, but after due deliberation, be refused to publish it. Mr. CLAY cannot "conceive a case" in which at his age,. he would fight ts, duel, but as "Ire cannot foresee all the contingencies which may arise," he trill not promise never to fight a duel, Perhaps he is afraid that the "adjourned question of veracity" which is yet unsettled between himself and Mr. Adams, may yet have to be decided by an ap peal to the pistol. In speaking oldie part be took in the Cilley duel, we wonder Mr. Clay does not mention that he wrote the challenge. He is surely becoming forgetful in his old age. We subjoin Mr. Ctar's letter, and submit whether it does not go fat to sustain Deacon W nure.'s charge that CLAY is a "duellist"—"a duellist," too, of the most iuveterate description : ASHLAND. August 1, 1894 GENTLEMEN—I ditlyreceived your letter of the 15th ultimo, on the subject of duelling, and I appreciate f u lly t h e f r i e ndly, pious and patriotic motives which prompted you to address it to me. Pernicious as the practice undoubtedly is, I hope you will excuse me when I say that there are other questions. in out public af fairs, of much higher and of more general importance. The victims, or votaries of that practice are but few in number, and bear no comparison with the immense number of sufferers from the rejection of wise mea sures of national policy, or the adoption of those of an opposite character. I expressed, in strong terms of condemnation, my opinion against duelling in a letter which I addressed to my constituents, in March, Int which is to be found in the published collection of my speeches. Again, within a few years pusl. I gave evidence of my strong disapprobation of it, by voting, in the Senate of the United States, for the bill for suppressing duel ing in the District of Columbia. With these proofs of my sentiments, I think, gen tlemen, you ought to he satisfied. But you ask me whether, if I were challenged to fight a duel, I would reject the invitation? Considering my age, which is now past 67, I feel that I should expose myself to ridicule if I were to proclaim whether! would or would not fight a duel. It is certainly one of the moat unlike ly events that can possibly be imagined, and I cannot conceive a case in which I should be provoked or tempted to go to the field of combat. But, as I cannot feresee all the contingencies which may possibly at ise, in the short remnant of my life, and for the reason have already stated, of avoidingany exposure of myself to ridicule, I cannot reconcile it to my sense of pro priety to make a declaration any tray or other. You have, gentlemen, done me some, but not full jnstice, in respect to the affair 31 the lamented Cilley. When I first obtained any knowledge of his difficulty with Mr. Graves, I did not think that there was the smallest occasion for a combat between them. 1 be lieved, from the first, that the matter would be amica bly accommodated: to that end all thy exertions were directed. I did not know that it was not accommoda ted until the day when, and after the parties went out to fight. On that day I was confined to my room, by illness, and it was altogether accidental, that I obtain ed information that the parties had gone out. But I was neither informed as to the plan, or the hour of their meeting. Contrary to the impression which you entertain, I did advise the empl o yment of the police to arrest the parties and prevent the duel. TI-e constable accordingly went out in search of them, but like my self, being ignorant of the time and place of their meeting, they mistook their route, and, failed in the accomplishment of the object. If you would read attentively the whole of my correspondence with Mr. Wise, to which you hove referred, you will find that it sustains the preceding statement. I am, gentlemen, Willi great respect, Your friend and ob't. eerv't, H. CLAY. Meesrs. Alex. Plumes.. William Campbell, Eli Cope, John Darr, Joseph Darr. Bela Smith, Arnie Smith,, Eli H.

Extract of a letter to a gentleman in this city, dated Cr.,AnasvitLe, TENS., Aupust 6TO, 1844. "It afforded me much pleasure to learn the prospects in Pennsylvania." Teunessee we never before had so much enthu siasm, so much zeal and activity, as we have among the democrats, and among them some a doubt is en tertained of cur Nieces'. Ido not ri llect to havernet with a democrat who doubts our success in Tennessee. 1 have been a good deal in this part of the State since my returr —ha ve addressed many large crowds andmin gled math with the people, mkt can confidently say, if there is any thing like as many changes in other porta of the State as we have had in my diarict,there cnn be no doubt of our success; and from all that I learn from the papers as well as private correspondence, the same thing is going on in every other part of the State.-- I shall not he surprised if Gov. Polk's majority here in November should equal Gen. Harrison's in 1140 (over 10,000.) In our last election the mejorityaguinst him was about 3,000; a change of 25 in each county or a bout 2 in each civil district secures him the State. Clay will tome more votes, by the Whigs refasiog to vote for him, than would sucuie us the State—there is vearcely a single district that I have been in, that Ido not learn of actual changes from 4 or 5 to 20 to 30 in, a district; I have never felt more confidence of success in any election in our State. Beth parties are very ac tive and no pains will be spared by eithe'r, and both seem equally confident ofattecesa." • • , . . • MZETLNG AT 10 ARCRICATER.NOIWIthatarIdibg the absence of Mr Fonwsno; the whip went on with a meeting at Manchester, where the darate was to have taken place, if Mr Forward has not bolted. They make the ridiculous charge that he demo crats backed out from the discussion. Now it is known `hat the name of Mr FORWARD had been paraded at the head of the whig squad for many days before the de bate—yet Mr Forward was not there. Had Mr For ward been present, the debate would have went on, and this the whigs knew; but the Democrats would not consent under the circumstances, to let the Great Un certninof the whig party appear by posy. MESSRS. EDIT . QRS: trust you will not fail to give D. N. White credit for his recent conduct in re fusing to publish Henry Clay's hntei to Wm. Camp bell and other citizens of Fayette and Westmoreland counties. I really think that this refusal proles the truth of the old adage, "stereo repor te turpismaus," no man at once becomes utterly base. Mr. White had before him four alternatives. Ist. He might have published the article and expressed his approval of it. 2d. He might have published it without a word of comment, leaving his readers to infer that heapproved of it. 3d. He might have published it and then ex- pressed his strong detestation of the conduct of a Man I aged 67 years, who has, by refusing unsay that he would ' not fight a duel now, borne his testimony in favor of a practice which Mr. Frelinghuysen and all other mor alists denounce as murder. 4th. He might have re fused to publish. To approve the letter of his candidate for the chief office in our country, would have been too boldfaced a departtire.from his old professed principles and might have thinned his subscription list. To have published it without remark would have looked like silently ap- proving, without daring to say so. To express his ho. ' :lost opinion against the letter would have displayed morn principle and fir Mess than could bu mustered by such a creature. The only course, then left fur him was to refuse to have any thing to do with it; this was the safest course; it wasin fact n confession on , Mr. White's part that he knew the letter to be unworthy of n man who aspires to the highest office in the gift of a christian people , and yet he very cunningly. kept from his readers an knowledge of the existence of such a letter. It was a very ingenious compromise between Mr. White's pmeessions of religion and morality and his pecuniary interests. h is, pet haps, an unexampled occurrence for a political editor to refuse to publish a letter wt itten by the man he was supporting for a most exalted station. But Mr. Clay, being as Mr. White has so often and so well said, "a gambler, a duellist and an immoral and profane man," has DO just appreciation of the sentiments of pious men; tae therefore leaves it to be inferred that he might, under certain circumstances, accept a challenge Mt. White understands the sen timents of the religious, non-duelling portion of the community. and cunningly refuses to publish a letter, which he timed neither approve nor condemn. I hope, titerefiwv. that in :publishing the letter you will do Mr. White simple justice by saying-that he displayed half .a virtue by refusing to publish the un- clean thing. Not being honest enough to condemn it boldly and fearlessly, as in duty "hound, he certainly deserves some credit for the manifestatinn of hia real opinion of it, by declining to place it in the columns of the Gazette. If he supposed th.tt it reflected any credit upon its aged author he would have most eagerly pub lished it and dwelt fully upon its most creditable fea tures, but finding in it nothing bat what is unwor thy and disreputable, he has evinced honesty or cun ning enough to reject the letter; thus escaping the shame of approving it as well as the danger of con demning it. I conclude, then, by once more entreating you to do Mr. White the justice to say that ho refused to publish Henry Clay's No-duelling, letter to , Wm Campbell and others ►OR THE POST. " Agriculture nteds no protection."—Hrnry Clay Our manufactories are very prosperous, and yet, on Wednesday last oats sold for fifteen cents a bushel. Could theta nut be some mode devised to equalise profits! At present, manufacturers, I an, told, have more orders than they can fill and are accumulating fortunes rapidly: while farmers are barely living. We have had many conventions of mattufactuters, conventions of wool growers and cotton planters, but never a convention of farmers. I think a convention of grain growers, say at Coltimbusor Cincinnati, might perhaps, do some good. It may be all nue us Mr. Ct.ex said, that. 4 ' agriculture needs no protection:" but still some good might be done if we assembled and talked over matters. 1 tejoice to see my fellow citizens of the cities prosper o us and happy, but I would be better satisfied if myself and brother farmers were aiso in a TWO thriving way. It would even be (1,- sirabLe to know that legislation can do:nothing for us, and it would be important to meet togethet and con sult and ascertain whether we can du any thing for ..ourselves. A convention of farmers, after the presidential elec tion and before the meetinw" of Congress. say about the 15th of November. would be very pleasant, at least. and might lead to something useful. A FARMER, of Fayette Township. I wish you would publish the above and request die other city papers and those you exchange with to copy it, especially agricultural papers. Messrs Editors:—ln your paper of Saint day you have charged •from a sou rce entitled to fullcredit,' that une of the Whig candidates for the Legislature, has frequent. ly declared that no poor person aliould be permitted to hold any office of profit or trust.

BIRMINGHAM HICKORY CLUB Pursuant to public notice, the Birmingham Demo cratic Club met in the school house. Mr Edward Ensell, Sr., in the choir. On motion, Mr B Louth and Mr Jus Barr were appointed Vice Presidents, and T Catnpbell, Secretary. In compliance with the wishes of the‘meeting, Frs. R Shenk, Esq. addressed the democracy in a plain and forcible manner, both in the English and German languages. After which A Burke, Esq was loudly called fur, and appeared amid the deafening cheers of the meeting. It is but just to say that Mr Burke made one of the most able and eloquent speeches ever delivered in our borough, which insures for him a meed of praise lasting as the love of liberty in his audience. Alex. Brackenridge closed the speaking exercises by making a few pointed and appropriate rematks. After which, the following resolutions were read by the Secretary, and unanimously adopted by the meet ing: Resolved, That we have received, with feelings of profound sorrow and regret, the melancholy -intelli gence of the death of the Hon HettßT A M UtILEN BERG, the democratic nominee fur Governor of this Commonwealth. Resolved, That the full confidence: reposed by the democratic party, in the patriotism and statesmanship, in the integrity and capacity of Mr Muhlceberg, du ring his entire public life, was well merited by him; that the duties of the - many distinguished offices which he has filled, were all performed with signal ability and fidelity; and that in his death, the nation at large, as well as the party whose favorite he was, has reason to deplore the extinguishment of a "bright and shining light. • Resolved, TWA since the melancholy dispensation of Providence, by which the democratic party has been deprived of its trusted and chosen Gubernatorial nominee, the eyes of all have been turned to FRANCIS R Suttee, of Allegheny County, as pre-eminently en titled to fill the vacancy thus made. Resolved, That every consideration of policy, pat riotism and gratitude, imperatively demands that the nomination should be conferred on . Ma Santee, by the Democracy of Pennsylvania.. as its candidate for Gov ernor, thereby rendering a merited compliment to a faithful and well tried public servant, and at the same time securing the triumph of the party by at least 30,- 000 majority.

The Whigs may. now tremble for Ken tucky. This is no idle boast, but is warranted by the compleetion of the returns. CLAY may be beaten in his own state. The Louisville Democrat gives returns from 84 coun ties, which show a whig majority of only 4907! Only 12 counties yet remain to be beard from, and they gave Letcher, the whig candidate for Governor in '4O, 167 majority. If, in the 12 counties to hear from, the dein- Ocratic gain should be as.great in, in the other portions of the suite, the Whig majority will be reduced below 4,000. Let the whigs in Kentucky bestir themselves, or Clay will be beaten in his own state in November. The Democtatie gain thus fpr en the Presidential elec_ tion in 1840, Is' about 20,799! Glorious Illinois—The Prairies on Tire! SHE LOOMS UP TO THE TUNE OF TEN THOU SAND MAJORITY! '•Tho feas are used up, from coon to pup, And Clay may rest contented; For he's nix coin arous at the old White House; To the whip it will not be rented. Yhe Democracy of Illinois have done nobly; , have carried every thing before them. So far, we , gained in every county and town from last August.

Gov Pvt.'s's At ccsTons.—Theleul slander of the coon presses upon the Democratic Candidate a he Presidency has been dropped by their principal organs as a kale and unprofitable business. The editor of the Gazette, however, with the ungenerous design of taunt ing; a co-lalalret in the federal cause, has endeavored to revive the slander, by publishing a certificate of one Alexander,* which 4. is stated that Cul Eat:KIEL Pout went on "an expeJition against the Tories," and that one "Jack Barnette," probably one of the Tildes Col. Polk kid whipped, way laid him intending to kill him. These are the material parts of the certifi cate. which proves just as much for Col .Polk's grand father as against him, even if it be worthy of credit.— The rest of the article is made up of wanton charges by a. North Carolina whig paper, and the stupid cum metes of the Gazette,—both are equally rase and ft Ivo. louts. IVhat then could have been the object of the Gszette in ptinting this stale and silly stuk, but to covertly as,ad his coadjutor in the editteial labors of whiagery.

COLONEL POLK'S NCES [ORS—THE DOCU MENTS. The reiteration of the vile calumny against Colonel Polk's patriotic, ance,tors by the whip, journals and their club orators, shows no less the depravity of these workers of ieiguity than the utter destitution of matter of complaint against the unsullied name presented by the democrats as their candidate for the Presidency. To stop their disgusting abuse of a man whose merits are not all in issue, and whom they know nothing about, we have beenat the pains of looking intothe ductimenti. Upon reference to the Mecklenburg, declaration of iudependence, contained in. the American Archives, we find that the impression which has genetally obtain ed that Ea.•kicl l'olk, Colonel Polk's grandfather, was a signer of that celebrated instrument, is evroneolv. The name. attached to that declaration, which hart led to the impression, is that of Themes Polk, who was the grand uncle of Colonel Polk, as stated by General Saunders in the Baltimore Convention; and General S. was the Mecklenbur; delegate in that convention. But there is another document contained in the Ar chives, and appended to the MeckliMburg declaration which shows that the grandfather of Cot Polk was a mong those who appeared to take the load in forward ing this great measure, and was regarded as among the most active Whigs of that day—a time when Whig meant the very reverse of what it does now; that is, a patriotic republican, who opposed the designs of the British to oppress and enslave America. This fact appears in Capt Jack's certificate, to lib' found at page 858, vol 2, of the Archives, and ,gyp here its CAPTAIN JACK'S CERTIFICATE, "Having seen in the newspapers some pieces re specting the declaration of independence by the peo ple of Mecklenburg county, in the State of North Car olina, in May, 1775, and being solicited to state what what I knnw of that transaction, I would observe, that fur some time previous to, and at the time those reso lutions were agreed upon, I resided in the town 'of Charlotte, Mecklenburg county; was privy to a num ber of meetings of some of the most- influential and lending characters of that county on the subject, be fore the final adoption of the resolutions, and at the time they were adopted.

The T..ue Sun of yesterday contains the following particulars. • The lady by whom the assault was made is Mrs. Mitchell, and the person assaulted is Miss Mary Wood cock, late supernumerary in 'Mitchell's theatre, the r t - lympie. The facts, as reported to us,are these. On Tues day afteinoon Mr'. Mitchell was walking in Broad. way, near the hospital, when she espied Miss Wood co:k, of whom she bad sufficient reason to be jealous, approaching in an opposite direction. Mrs M immedi ately drew a weapon (by &orne said to be a dirk and by others a pair of.seissors,) and made a rush at the girl, who having observed the movement, dodged into a se gar store a few doors from the hospital, and sunning be hind the counter exclaimed "Save me! save me!" Mrs. Mitchell seised her, however, before the sore-keeper could interpose, and inflictecttwo stabs upon her neck. Mrs. M. was immediately Seemed, and the girl, more frightened than hurt, (although the blood flowed freely fro(n her neck.) was taken to the hospital. The lady, who was in a state of great excitement, was then placed in a cals. and conveyed home. These are the facts of the assault; the causes which led to it would make a much longer story.
