In a speech made in ctingrest, in the session
of 1832—'33, oa the Tariff question Mr Polk mirk—
" "The Wool Gmwersconsider the duty upon foreign
wool as importtutt totheir prosperity. THIS 0 P I N
ION, I APPREHEND IS FOUNDED IN ER
ROR:"
MY O'W N-OPINION IS THAT WOOL
SHOULD BE DUTY FREE, but as wool growers
think otherwise, we have retained aMmy of FIFTEEN
PERCENT, upon the imported article."
RESPECT TOE THE LAWS.—Tbe wbigs, with aston
ishing coolness, atrogote to themselves the title of the
Law and Order 'Party. Mr CLAY, in his Raleigh
Speech, complimented highly the superior respect
for the laws °vita:ad by those who followed his stand
ard. We have recently given instances of the assump
tion of Mr tiny, the last of which we published yes-
- terday, which occurred 81'ST:tire Custattsts . , in Pitt
township. When Jackson removed the deposites, it
will be remembered theta valiant young whig of New
tXt, threatened to lead 10,000 young men to Wash
..
mond Whig said about the same tune, that if General
Jackson did not recede from his position, "pis-
was would nigh and daggers gleam" in the streets of
Washington. In 1840, W. J. Gnsvcs, the man by
whose relentless hand =poor Cilley fell, made the fol
lowing memorable declaration. Great pains are taken
by the whigs, to show that Mr Graves is of a mild and
pacific temper,and the New York Tribune says he is
"constitutionally reserved and retiring:" hear how this
pacific awl "reserved" gentleman delivers himself
"If it were not for the hope of redress, the hope of a
change through the ballot box, I would here-so help
me God!--upon this holy altar!! take an oath this night,
ototake - ap arm., and march with you to IVashington
and putdown the present dynasty by force."
rine" - is afair specimen of whig respect ft:r the lams.
TfitiO!dr Graves would have kept his word, his san
guinary deportment towards Mt Cilley; a man who
never injured him, fully proves.
But why should we waste time in proving the false
hood and arrogance of the assumption, that the whig
pttrtyare distinguished for their 'respect for the laws,'
when it is made by Henry Clay , a wan now under
bonds to keep the peace !
Toe BARGAIN.—The witness on whom the ships
place the greatest reliance to disprove the charge of
Bargain and Collusion between CLAY and ADAMS ill
1824, is J. Q. ADAMS himself. Before they called
this witness into Court, they should have cleared his
veracity from the aspersions cast upon it by Mr CLAY.
It is well known that there is an "adjourned question
of veracity" between Clay and Adams—each has
charged the other with having uttered and published
direct falsehoods in relation to the negotiations at
Ghent.—The dispute between them has never been
settled—yet, with the doubts thrown over Mr. A D
am' veracity' by CLAY himself, the American peo
ple are asked to take Mr. ADAMS' simple evidence a-
gainst the strongest array of witnesses and facts ever
produced to sustain any charge. Mr CLA Y does his
best to injtire and destroy Adams' character for truth,
and theu asks the people to believe him!
IMPThe whigs have appointed a Naturalization
Committee, the duty of which, we suppose, will be to
swap N aturalization Certi6(Nstes fur Clay votes. We
&tent like to meddle with the party arrangements of
oar opponents, but we would just like to know if there
is a man on thatCemmi:teu who has not deelated him
self in favor of the project of compelling foreigners to
reside in the country twenty-one years before they shall
be permitted to become citizens? We kno w th a t, some
of them me thoroughly imbued with the political prin
ciples of the Native American party, and all of them
will doubtless be prominent among its leaders after the
Presidential election. We think it somewhat strange
that those who advocate principles which would de
prive ernigtints of citizenship, should now be im
ploring them fur their support. If they honestly believe
that foreigners should not be permitted to vote until
they have lived in the country twenty-one years, how
can they reconcile it to their consciences to aid in the
naturalization of these •kordes offoreiga paupers,' as
Henry Clay once culled the emigrants, within five
years?
The whole course of the whig party is a series Of
contradictions and toconsistencies, bat is no part of
theirpoticy have they committedm greaterblanderthan
.irt• appointing Native Americans au a Naturalization
-Committee.
MAIM IT.—The following inswarkable prediction
was made by the Pittsburgh Gazette of November 14,
1842. The lust part will turn out to be true prophecy.
"If the Whigs of the N.:trawl n States will, oin heart
and soulsapota a Northern man.they can carry the Pres.
idontial elec:iou. If thtydo not take this plan—mark
WILL BE DEFEATED!"

Tn.= AND CLMN—The Whip of Pittsburighdo.
' sire no better test of attachment to their party 'than
vindictive denunciation of JOHN TYLICR. Whatever
may be Mr Truitt's political errors, he has proved
hinieelfa friend to our city. While 'Thum was giv
ing our mechanics steam-ships to build, thus not only
awarding them present employment, but developing
new and important rescroces, CLAM was standing vp
in the Senate, slandering Pittsburgh, saying her river
was "frozen one half the year and dry the other half,"
and opposing a Western Armory, because it would be
located here. No citizen of Pittsburgh who has a spar k
of local pride—no one who has her true interests at
heart • can give his vote fur Hu CLA T.
"Taut AS Pnascnino."—Wobave often said that
CLAY, the thrice defeated candidate of the •whip,
would be like a millstone round their necks, and would
drag them down to the bottom of theopolitical sea.—
The editor of the Gazette agtees with us, when lie
speaks his honest sentiments. On the 20th of De
cember, 1842, he declared, through his paper, that
"Mreths's name will work the complete ruin of
"the tchig party, if he is continued to be forced on
"the people." *
"Resolvc4, That we, is a party,will not support an
adh.criag Mason for office." .
This Resolution was adopted by the Antirnasons of
Lancaster in Nov. 1342. The Pittsburgh Gazette, e(
December., 1842, crpied and endorsed it, and de
nounced thsAtitimasons who were leaning towards
Clay, as 'dyne servers and traitors,' who were trying to
"sell the r 'Whele Whig party to the Lodge!"
Clay and the Cempremine.
At a meeting of the blends of Clay, held in Putnam
Co., Georgia, the following resolutions were passed :
"Resolved, 3. That we consider him pledged to
abide the spirit of the Compromise Act, and that at
this time we look to him as being the only man in the
country whose influence can carry out triumphantly the
principlea contained in said let.
"Resolved, 4. That as good citizens, we are ever
willing to pay any Tariff for thertsrpose of Revenue,
but NOT A CENT FOR PROTECTION."
So, then, in , the North, Clay is the Tariffcandidate,
and in the South they "consider him pledged to abide
the spirit of the compromise act !!!"
The above significant scrap was printed in the Pitts
burgh Morning Post of Oct. 18, 1842, and was copied
into the Pittsburgh Gazette of Oct. 19, 1842. In those
days the editor of the Gazette had not known the
blandishments of the 15 whigs, and labored shoulder
to shoulder with us in showing up the iniquities of
HENRY CLAY. But alas, and alactripday ! the Dea
con has gene over to the enemy, and left ns to fight it
out with Clay and his cohorts as we best may.
TRUTH ARO MORA LIT L.—On the 31st Jail., 1843.
the editor of the Gazette denied that Mr Clay was an
'available' candidate. He knew this, because he knew
"the influence of the silent workings of truth and
morality upon the hearts of the people." Alas ! :hat
the "silent workings" of "truth and morality" should
be stifled by the efforts of "fifteen whip."
REJECTION o► CLAT.—After the New York election
of 1842, the Garztte,of Dec. 2d. 1842, in speaking V
the - effircts at that election, said, "Nevet more signal
defeat followad in the train of any leader." And that,
"a more c.xnplete and full rejection of tho claims of
any man for office was never pronounced by the peo
which awaits Lim next November.
THE VERACIOUS TtrisexE.—The New York Tri
bune has always alTected to be very correct in giving
election returns, and would not, for any consideration,
give false or deceptions statements. But on competing
its accounts with the actual results, we find that it has
no more regard•for truth then its whig cotempomries,
and, in fact, is but little better than the Gazette of this
city. For instance, in giving the result of the Illinois
election, he says that the democratic majority will be
about what it was in 1840, 5000. Now if he has read
the returns—of which there can be no doubt—he must
have known that it is at least double 5000, and pro
bably would reach 12 or 14000. This is a sample of
the false statements he is constantly putting forth, and
by elaborating his falsehoods with tablet of figures; be
gives them such an air of plausibility as to induce•tbe
soft ooes of his party to believe that he is telling the
truth. It is by such barefaced statements as this that
the Whigs expect to conceal from the public the tremen
dous losses they have sustained imell the states where
elections have recently been held. They dare not tell
the people honestly that the democrats have carried
Louisiana, heretofore a very strong whig state; that the
democratic majority in Indiana, Illinois 'and Alabama
has been largely increased; nor will they breethe a whis
per of the fact that in Kentucky 21,000 of the whig ma-
jority has been annihilated, and in North Carolina
9000 of the 'same old coons' of 1840, are among the
missing. The readers of wbig journals know nothing
of these facts, and whenever they wish to receive cor,
rectinformation as to election retutns, they must have
recourse to the democratic papers.
ANcrrwrit DISGRACIFUL Rtor.—We learn from
the Phindelphia papers, the following additional par
ticulars of the assault on the Democratic meeting in
Roxborough. The Democratic Convention having de
termined to refer the election of Delegates from the
township of Roxborough to the people, appointed as
Judges and Inspectors gentlemen of high character,
in order to secure the proper admiuistration of the
customary laws on such occasions. In the dis Charge
of their duties, they repaired to the placeof election,
on Saturday last, when it was discovered that a large
number of men—said to belong to the Native Ameri
ican party, had determined to break up the election.
The Judge of the election, Col James Goodman, was
the peculiar object of animosity. He hacLas a military
officer been conspicuous for his energy and courage on
theeventful evening at Southwark, and this seemed to
be the cause of opposition to him. Cries of "he has
not his uniform on now ! down with him!" resounded
en the ground. MI Lavater Snyder, fureseeing a
scene of the most violent riot, where one individual
would have been opposed to several hundreds, begged
the gentleman to withdraw. This was for a time de
clined, but finding that his presence was only calcula
ted to induce disorder, he consented to withdraw, and,
attended by his friends, he left the house. After his
withdrawal a number—about two hundred—of infuria
ted men followed a vehicle in which be was supposed
to be, with cries of "Kill him!"—"Stop him!"—"Drag
him out." The gentleman referred to; however, qui
etly and calmly retrained to his hotel at Manayunk, and
left the village.
MORE RIOTS IN CANADA.:—The St Thomas Stand
ard of the 10th last, states that a set ions riot had been
and was still raging at Werdsvillm on the new C hotha
road, between the hooters widths inhabitants, on ac
count of some disorderly conduct of the laborers to
wards two females. From all that we have heard,says
the Standard, several men haws:been dreadfully beat
en—one dangerously wotuided.. and the fight must
have been kept up f,r a long time; far it is said that
a number of Italians were Collected by the inhabitants
to help them,and that the road men declined returning
to their work through fear. -
Wit is said dui; a few of the offittiders tmdet
the CieellatlGovenpnent in Philadelphia, hive wood
' naiad Calvin Blythe as:their candidate .for Governer.
This is another Whig rumor, and, of course r is utterly
false. Mr Blythe is toe goods democrat to permit his
name to be used to distract the party in the slightest
degree. The democracy hive, wittjt emencedufted
unenimity, selected their candidate, and Mr Blytbeand
his friends will cheerfully give their aid to swell the
overwhelming majority that will place Fitter's R.
Sacs= in tbeGulternatorialChair.
lODIABA ELICCTIOII.-•-SOOSO of the whip treat the
fact that the Democrats obtained a majority ol"the
pormlar vote of Indiana, at the late election, as incredi
ble and impossible. They amen what is true that
they have • majority cm joint ballot in the legislature,
and ask how it is possible for them to be defeated in
the popular vote? We will devote a moment to the
enlightenment of these benighted and self-deluded
people. TM 1843, the Democratic Governor was elec
ted in Indiana by about 2,000. This year the majori- i
ties in the Democrotic counties have been largely in'
creased. In the doubtful counties, the whip exerted
all their efforts, and carried the representatives in
most of thorn. They have 6or 7 majority in the legis
lature, all of which they obtained by} majority less
than 100 of the popular vote, as fellows:
They carried their Reps. in Floyd by only 6 votes,

Here we see that 76 votes controlled the election of
12 members of the Gene:rsl Assembly, making a dif
ference of 24 on joint ballot—and extending the num
ber to 86 votes, it would have carried two more repre
sentatives in Parke, making a difference of 28 on joint
ballot in the Legislature.
In the Counties above named the whig candidate for
. Governor bad a majority of 380 in 1843—now, altho'
the wbigs have carried 12 members of the legislature,
they have lust 284 on the popular vote since 1843.
This will assist the wbigs is explaining what they
seem to regard as a great mystery.
MISSOURI.- The result in Missouri is one of the
most glorious victories for the true democrats that has
been achieved in the country for many years past. By
continual abuse of Cul. Bserton, Principally for his
consistent opposition to increasing the circulation of
Bank paper, a split was elected in the party, and those
who are known as the "Softs"--they well deserve the
appellation—form onion with the whip, fur the
purpose of destreliii the democratic ascendency in
the Legislature; and, as a consequence, to remove Mr
Benton from the U S Senate. We confess that, from
the perfect union that seemed to exist between the
pseudo democrats and the whigs, and the efforts that
both were making to act; mplish their purpose, we felt
apprehensive of the result. But we are gratified to
nee oy rue return - Mitt may - nave sst.c.
Etiivitaris is certainly elected Governor. He
leads his soft competitor, Judge Attest, about 2000
votes, and twenty-four counties to hear from, which
will increase his majority to at least 6000.
For the Legislature, as far as heard, 10 democrats.
41 whigs, and 3 sorts, have been returned: Fifteen
counties are to hear from, all of which will return
democrats,—making a majority of 11 over the combin
ed forces of the whigs and the softs, in the House
The Senate stands 25 democrats to 8 whip.; demo
cratic majority on joint ballot, 28. So much for whig
efforts to break down democracy in Missouri.
FORGERY.n. Philadelphia Spirit .of the Times
states that George B. Brown, Exchange broker, was
arrested by one of the City Police officers, yesterday
morning, and committed by the Mayor in default of
bail, on the charges of forgery and larceny. The pris
oner, on the Ist of July last, went to the Farmers and
Mechanics' Bank, with a certificate for thirty shares
of the stock of the New Orleans Gas Light and Bank
ing Com pany,euxl demanded the payment of a dividend
then due. The certificate was in the name of James
D. Brown, Trestee for Mrs McCaulley, the prisoner's
mother. The prisoner stated to the Cashier of the
Batik, William Patton jr., that he wits the J D Brown
mentioned in the certificate, obtained the amount of
the money; $45, and signed a receipt for it as J. D.
Brown. He then said h, had sold the stock to James
Nevins, broker, and signed the transfer. He had feloni
ously come in possession of the certificate, and added
double forgery to theft. The matter was discovered by
the step-father of the prisoner, and the Bank hai to
pay the dividend again to his mother, on her demand
ing it. Brown is the individual who was connected
with Young Henderson, in the embettlement at the
Philadephia Post-office, last winter.
CL AY AND TEXAS
M ESS RS. EDITORS: —I. attended the Liberty Mai
Meeting last night, and was much amused by one par
ticular incident. I stood by two Clay men, who seem;
ed much annoyed by the remarks of Dr Lemoyne.—
But when he introduced the Louisville Journal, Extra,
the campaign paper of the . whigs of Kentucky, edited
by Prentiss, the biographer of Clay, published a few
days before the election, these two whigs seemed very
uneasy. They saw that Clay's game was too compli
cated and was liable to derangement. But when the
Doctor announced that it contained a speech of Hum
phrey Marshall's, the confidenti 11, personal and politi
cal fiend of Henry Clay, the man who is already
spoken of in the west as oneof the cabinet, in case of
Clay's election, they fairly wriggled in their places.
But when the Doctor read in his strong and distinct
voit* - , and emphatic manner, that portion of Marshall's
speech, in which, as a friend of annexation, he stated,
that annexation could be effected more safely, more
certainly and more honorably under Mr. Clay's
administration, than it could under that of his "mise
rable competitor," as be styled Mr Polk. The two
whigs fairly bounded in their places, and one of them
exclaimed, "d—n them, they will ruin us in the north."
I had anotion to remark to them,' that such speediest
as that of Mr Marshall and many others,never seen in
tbetfree Statei, furnishes the true key to Mr Clay's
declaration in his Tuscaloosa fetter, that the annexe.
lion question would not injure him in Kentucky; but
they were both in ouch a bad bumor, that I thought they
would bear nothing more, so I held my tongue.
ff the proposed discussion between the three par
ties takes place near Manchester, I trust that* copy of
Mr Mershon's speech, ill the whig organ of Kentucky,
will be produced. I would fike to hear Mr Forward's
remarks about it. A DEMOCRAT.

Great haul of Counterfeit Money, Ph.tee,
Important itsformtion obtained—Startling devel
opements coming.—Marshall Saffin and Constable
Hurst arrested on Saturday afternoon Joseph L.
Tincher, Esq., who is now in jail, for having large
quantities of counterfeit money in his possession, also
plates and other utensils for malting Indiana, Tepee
'see, Kentucky, and Missouri money. Also those well
executed S's mentioned in another column by Mr. T.
8. Goodman & Co. These officers have been indefati
gable in ferreting out this man and those connected
with him. This Timber is the same person emitted
by Mr. Saffin in New Albany, Indians, some year or
two ago for counterfeiting, but got clear there by some
freak of the law. He is said to be the ringleader ()fall
counterfeiting going on in these parts. The officers
above mentioned recovered about $14,000 in superious
money in Tincher's House, situated on Fifth street,
near Stone street, and it is supposed he burnt large
quantities while they were getting in, as the ashes were
found with Inds of bills onchem. The plates were
found in a stable belonging to Tincher's house. Sev

five brick houses on Younge street, (two taverns and
three stores) and the extensive iron foundry of Messrs
Cheny & Metcalf, together with numerous mechanics'
shops. Ste., on Lot street.
The fire originated, k was said, in a stable belong
ing to the Rob Roy tavern in the rear of the foundry ;
and with the wind blowing briskly from the east, with
the combustible nature of the buildings, the flames
spread with terrific rapidity to the range of brick build
ings on Youngs street, giving the numerous inhabitants
of the upper stories hardly time to escape with their
lives and a few of their most valuable articles.
