THIS 0 P I N ION, I APPREHEND IS FOUNDED IN ERA. ROR.” MY OWN OPINION IS THAT WOOL SHOULD BE DUTY FREE, but as wool growers think otherwise, we have retained a duty of FIFTEEN PER CENT, upon the imported article.' A COMPLIMENT.—Rev. EDWARD SMITH, tno Of the Liberty Speakers, paid tho Democracy, though perhaps unintentionally, a very high compliment. Ho said that there were five hundred men in the Demo cratic party of equal capacity and statesmanlike quali- ties with Col. Pot.x—whilo no man in the Whig par .y, he said, would venture to n3essure or compare him aelfWith HENRY CLAY. We are perfectly satisfied itoulke what Mr Smith says for granted, though he -Asnght to have excepted Webster from those who would mot compare themselves with Henry Clay. Webster will not only measure himself with Clay, but he will out-measure him in all the qualities of statesmanship. a nd eclipse him in immorality besides, if that were posiible. It is a proud reflection that the Democrats hails five hundred nun as talented as Pout. If it be Wm: got only does the Democracy contain more talent than any other platy, but if we should lose our candi date, we have plenty to supply his place. • Such; if Mt; S. bo correct, is not the case with the ...::-. whip. Clay, be says. is the "moving *piing" of his ~. party, - i s .be Embodiment of its principles, the great eientice of its vitally. If he should die, then whiggery isaitdie with him. What Mr S says of Clay, is no ' ' doubt true—no other man could occupy the position the be has now, for all the enthusiasm the whigs dis play for him, is mere man-worship, and ham little to -, 1110 with principle. With the Democrats it is other _ :::4400. They do not organize themselves, and wage a party warfare for the especial benefit of any one man. ThetY are banded together to carry out great principles. Cal Pau, has proved himself capable of understanding --, mei maintaining those principles, and therefor - if he was rnominated. If we have 500 who are escapable as he, `se Wroth the better for oar party. A Pasctous WITNESS.—Thc editor of the New 4. .10rk American, Cus ALES KING, the infamous author Of the Dartmoor Prison Report, has taken the stump blklistdiats CLaT ' s conduct in the C I tr.s.r duel.

C[.•Y IN ALLEGIHENT COUNTY.—On the - 10th of January. 1843, the Pittsburgh Gazette, contained the following : •'ln Allegheny county, Gen. Harrison. receivedaltout 3,000 majority. Were the question put to the Harri son party of this county, to-day. to choose between HENRY CLAY and some other anti-locofoco candidate who was free from the objections of Masonry, Slavery and Duelling, Henry Clay would be left far in the minority." This, we think, is true. THE LIBERTY COE TER .—T be number in a ttem dance on the Liberty Convention on Wednesday eve ning lag, was quite respectable. There were more Liberty voters present than Birney received votes in 1840, thioughont the State. 'We should say there were 400. Birney got. 343 votes. LtinEa to Watirraft.—To the bold and Use asset.. tion, that the democratic party id opposed to the Tariff; we give the following reply, from a speech delivered by Daniel Webster, in l 84!. Read and reflect: crj'"ITIS NOT TRUE THAT THE TARIFF SYSTEM WAS PASSED BY THE WHIGS ALONE!" ocr "WE ALL KNOW THAT THIRTY. SOME OF THEM LEADING AND INFLUENTIAL WHIGS, VOTED AGAINST niE TARIFF, OUT AND OUT, ON ALL QUESTIONS, DIRECT AND INDIRECT !" . 13:3" -IT IS A TRUTH, THAT IS MORF.;' FA VORABLE TO THE CAUSE. THAT A LARGE PROPORTION OF THE OPPOSITE PARTY CAME IN TO HELP THE TARIFF THROUGH, AND TO REiCU E IT FROM THE INSTABILI TY OF MERE PARTY SUPPORT." Thus, out, of the mouth of their own "God like Dan iel," are they condemned as slanderers and falsifiers. DARING OUTRAGE.—The Susquehanna Register says, it leardsby a handbill published by W. B. Cly mer and S. kaylert, Epp., that Mt the morning of the 2d inst., while lodging in the house of William Cooper, in Springfield, Brdford county, their room was forcibly entered by a d rz m nr fifteen men in dis guise, who seized and carried away their carpet bags, containing the title papers and contracts of the Big_ ham estate tie lands in that part of the cavalry.. They offered $3OO reward for the detection of the thieves and recover)), of the property; but it is said that the community of settlers in title region have combined to resist the titles to the lands, and although the trunks and their contents, (except the papers, which were dolluleasburard) hive bran recovered, and seve ral prisons arrested as probably concerned, it is impos sible to find witnesses or attorneys willing to appear againstthem! A pretty aiale of atTaira'.. FOR THE POST. HENRY CLAY A FRIEND OF THE TARIFF." If Henry Clay on reading his sentiments in the Pittsburgh Gazette, would utter the true sentiments of his heart, he would pronounce them a barefaced false hood. his false, entirely and wholly false, as every man at all acquainted with bis career and sentiments knows—Henry Clay has been a long time in Congress, and when the subject of a protective tariff has been furiously agitated, and what vote did he ever give in favour of protection? Can his friends point to a sin gle vste of his on this subject, on which they can ask tho approval of Pennsylvanians? Give us one, my dear Deacon, give us just one! What speech did Henry Clay ever make in favor of protection—in favour of any Pennsylvania interest? Where is it recorded? Will Walter Forward and Williams. or any of the Cumber land and Franklin county squatters, his great defender s in this region tell us? Was not Henry Clay tha father of the Compromise act of 1832? Was not that act a dead shot against protection? Where was Henry Clay then? Was he not supporting with all his feeble powers the ad-valo rem duty of 20 per cent? When a did Henry Clay ever give one redeeming vote in favour of protection? Did he not resign his seat in the U S Senate in 1892 rather than vote for protection? Did not all the members from Kentucky but two, vote against the bill of 1842, and that to gratify the wishes of Henry Clay? Did not J. Q. Adams, and several other leading whip, vote in 1842 against protection, in other words did they not vote against the present tariff? Henry Clay is a slave holding Tobacco grower, he has not one feeling in com mon with the working men of Pittsburgh Did he not oppose thelocation of the Armory at Pittsburgh; stating that the Ohio was dry half the year and frozen over the other? Is not Henry Clay and the whip generally in favour of. a National Bank, and if elected will be not pro vise it as one of his very first measures? Ho is so much opposed to the interest of Pittsburgh, will he not put a stop to building Iron ships at the head of navign tion? In fine will he not do all in his power to oppose the protection of American industry and Pennsylvania interests? When Deacon White orsome of the squat ters sowers theserestions, I have a few mom for them worthyof serious consideration. HICKORY RAISING! A noble Young Hickory was planted near the house of Mr George Rose, in Carroll township, on Friday the 16th. Also, one in Monongahela city, be fore the public house of Major Gregg, at 3 o'clOck,of the same. The latter pole is 93 feet high. From its top floats a beautiful flag, prepared by the patriotic l a di es o f the place, and on which is inscribed, Polk, Dallas and Shunk. No United States Bank. No Tax en Tea and Coffee. After the poles had been planted and cheered by the loud voices of some hundreds of democrats a meeting was organized by the appointment of the following named officers: MARK MITCHELL, of Fallow field, President—Maj Robert Love,David Hootman, James *mown, Joseph Martin, Samuel Hill, tins' Jonathan Pierce, Vice Presideals; and James War ner, Thos. Collins, John T Markle. and Isaac, Teeple, Secretaries. Col Hopkins and 0. B. McFadden, Esq.,thou addressed the meeting at length on the po litica topics of the day; after which the subjoined two ' lotions were offered and adopted. Resolved, That in James K Polk we have a candi date worthy the name of a statesman, a gentleman of well tried integrity—extensive experience in public af fairs, and of inflexible democratic principles. The friend and companion of the illustrious Jackson, he is commended to us by the firm , and undeviating support he gave to the old patriot in the desperate and perilous contest waged by the Bank against the Government. Resolved, That wo are grateful to tho democracy of the Union, and duly appreciate the honor conferred in selecling, from among patriotic sons of the Keystone State, that talented and sterling democrat, the Hon. George M Dallts, for the•office of Vice President. Resolved. That we lament the sudden decease of the Hon Henry A Muhlonburg, the distingdished nominee of the democratic party for the Chief Execu tive office of the Commonwealth. In his death, Penn• syleania has lost 'ne of her most distinguished sons. a patriot without guile. The democracy of his native state will erect his cenotaph in their hearts, where will be treasured the recollection of his Virtues, and of the en d ur i n g public services wf ich he has rendered.' Resolved, That in view of this dispensation of an all wise Providence, we fling forth our banner to the breeze with the name of Francis R Shenk as our can didate for the office of Governor in 1844. Resolved, That we hereby ratify the nomination of Old Shunk, and suggest to the democarts of the State that he be nominated by acclamation. Resolved, That the proceedings of this meeting be published in the Washington Examiner, Rittsburgh Poet, and democratic papers of Harrill:atm A Laugh-able Error.—Mr Benton's rematk, that he would meet Mr flilcDufFie at Phillippi, is made, in a Southern paper. to read. that he would meet him *. Philudelphia - The citizens of both parties who were present at the discussion on Wednesday night between Wilson Mc- Casilkss and Thomas Williams, Esqr's., both of Pittsburgh, had presented to them as fine a Coon skin ning as we could desire to see. Mr. McCandless ar rived in town on Tuesday on invitation to address the Democratic Meeting. Mr Williams, in that cock-a.- hoop spirit, which like pride "goeth before a fall" challenged him to a discussion, which challenge, Mr. McCandless promptly accepted, and agreed to meet Mr. Williams in the Whig meeting on Wednesday evening. The discussion was announced in the Dem oared* meeting on Tuesday, and in the Whig meet ing on Wednesday. Well, on Wednesday evening, al though the Whigs were confidenttila Mr. McCandless would back out, he appeared in the Whig meeting rea dy to redeem his acceptance—and he redeemed it with a vengeance—to our great astonishment the turn out of Democrats was very large, almost, if not entirely equalling the Whigs in number.— Alexander Johnston, Esq., on part of the Democrats and John F. Beaver, EN., on part of the Whigs, offici ated as moderators. At about fi o'clock the debate commence d,and a more triumphant affair than McCand less made of it, could 11110 t have been desired by his his friends. He proved himself greatly superior told. antagonist in ability, eloquence and in a candid gentle manly and manly bearing—and made a most trium phant vindication of the principles of Mr. Polk, and a gallingex,.osure of Mr. Clay's vescillatioa and duplic ity on the subject of a Tariff. We have nut timo to give any sketch of the remarks of the Speakers. Mr Williams displayed some inge nuity in distorting facts anti misrepresenting Mr. Polk's views, which however Mr. McCandless most Ilium phtun ly refuted and eloquently rebuked Mr. McCand less is one ofthe Democratic Senatorial Electors, and is u man every way worthy of that honor—his manlyeort duct throughout this whole affair, and the signal de feat by pave his opponent in this debate have won for him golden opinions from all sides. We tender to him the thanks of the Democracy of Westmoreland coun ty—and we are sure they are cheerfully and heartily given. We think Mr. Williams will no: in future meddle with Mr. McCandless. This dekrite has taught him not to chnUenge him with any hope that he will "back out," and also, that when Mr. Candless does accept a challenge, he can shine Coon as effectually as need be. The following is the correspondence which led to. the discussion MR. WILLIAMS' CHALLENGE TO MR. Mc . _ • CANDLESS. GREENSBUIIGH, Aug. 20th, 1844. DEAR SIR:—As you are here to address the people of Westmoreland county this evening, and I am here also, though on a merely professional errand, I propose to meet you for the purpose of discussing fairly and freely in their rke.senco, the questions involved in the approaching elections. 1 am prepared to affirm and maintain the following propositions. 1. That a tariff fur the protection of American labor. is essential to the Interests and 'Prosperity of the Amor-, jean people. .2. "f hat the Whig is the true Tari ff party, and that James K. Polk and his party at large are in favor of Free Trade, and essentially hostile to the interests of the manufacturing and grain-growing States of this Union. 3 That the Public Lands are the rightful property of the States, and the proceeds thereof ought to be fair ly and equitably distributed amongst them fur the pur pose of paying their debts, improving their territories and educating the children of their people. 4. That the annexation of rexas, mediate or-imme diate would be highly detrimental to the invereet oldie Union, and particularly of the Northern and Middle States. 5. [hat the Whig is the true Democratic party of this country, .and that this practices an I tendencies of that patty which claitns fur itself an exclusive title to the name, aro essentially anti-republican, revolutionary and monarchical. I will agree to add to these any other questions le gitimately connected with the impending contest, and will discuss the whole, either in the meeting of your own party this evening, or if you prefer it, in that of the Whigs to-morrow. • I will eith'.r beginor conclude according to the prac tice ofour Courts, or yoo may have that privilego; pro vided, hawever that each party shall be allowed the same time,-that no now topic or new authority shall be introduced in the concluding speech, without having been previously announced. I think it proper to add; that I make this offer in no spirit of mere bravado, but from a sincere desire only to give the people an opportunity of hearing both sides. Very truly, yours, THOMAS WILMA:VB. WILSON M . CANDLESS, ESQ.. MR. M'CANDLESS' REPLY. CiItrXI4IIBUROW, August 20th, 1844, 5i o'clock, P. M. Thomas Esq., DZAR Stn: I have this moment ar rived from Pittsburgh, and on my arrival, your note of this date, challenging me, not to "mortal,'' but to po litical combat, has been placed in my hands. I promptly accept it, with the modifications and additions, which I shall suggest to you to-morrow evening, nt the Court H: use, in the presence of your political friends, and such of my own patty as may think proper to attend. Very truly, Your obedient servant i WILSON M'CANDLESS HIBERNICUS MR. M'CANDLESS' note, suggesting the mode and in inner or discussing the principles involved in the present political contest: Gumtrisoutton, August 21,1841, 10 o'clock, A. M. Tkomas Williams, Esq., DEAR SIR: I now submit to you the "modifica tions and additions" to the propositions, contained in your note of yesterday. They are your own questions, plain, frank and tine irivocai, but stripped of theeloquant verbiage in which you have clothed them. I. Is Mr. Clay more orthodox on the stalject of the Tariff than Mr. Polk I You ajirne—l denr; 2. 14 it constitutional, or expedient, to charter a National Bank ? ' You affirst-1 deny. 3. Should the proceeds of the sales of the public lands be distributed among the States? You crffirm—l deny. 4. Shetld Term be annexed to the Territory of the United States? Yc•u deny—l afro. The speeches to be made alternately,. two on each side, and each speech not to exceed three fourths of an boor in length—you begin.—l. conclude. Two moderators to be appointed, one from each po litical party—for thepurpose of preserving order. I hope these terms will be acceded to, at once, so that we may not speed the day in useless correspol. deuce. I have not accused you,of presenting this challenge, in "the mere spirit of bravado," and have accepted it, believing that you would conduct the discussion, with the courtesy that ischaracteristicof a gentleman. I award to you all the valor attributed to the heroes of the Illiad, and I trust that we will both emulate their example, and shake hands and exchange weap ons in the very midst of the conflict. Truly yours, WILSON M'CANDLESS. GREENSIIIRGH, Wednesday, 3.o'clock, P. M. . DEAR Sta: I have but a rnoment.toleply to your note of this date, I have no objection to your first proposition, with the modification, that the Whig is the true Tariff party, us suggested by me in my previous note. Your second proposition presents a new issue. We consider it the duty of the Government to kniish a pound national currency to thepeople. As to the pre cise meaqs however I am not prepared to speak, but I am willing if you desire it to nuke up en issue be tween a National Bank and a Sub-Treasury. To your third and fourth propositions, I have no ob. jection. You hive; however, avoided the question of the pre tensiros of o.tr party V.. be rcosidrred-tba exrluswe frog * Greengstrg Argue '4ll' con skiTund. MR. WILLIAMS IN REPLY Democracy. I wish to be allowed the privilege of ex pressing my opinions on that point. The order of speaking propo.ed by me is obviously the fair one. If you insist on two speeches on each file in the alternative eider, as suggested by you, I would preferan hour for each and determine the right of conclusion by lot. Very truly yours, , THOMAS WILLIAMS MR. M'CANDLESS' ANSWER. GRE,ZNSBURGH, August 21, 1844 Thomas Williams, Esq., DIAi SIR: I have received your note of this noun, by the hands of your friend, Mr Scull. If you recognize the •'code of honor" adopted and acted on by Mr. Clay, you should have allowed the "challenged" party the privilege of "marking out the ground," and making choice of the weapons. But I shall not enterinto an unpleasant controversy, upon mere matters of detail. lam a-stranger here— you are at home, and in the place of your nativity, and it appears to me to be very much' like chuiticleer crowing on his own dunghill. I adopt your first proposition to the mode of speak ing. I will commence and occupy three quarters of an hour; you speak an hour and a half, and I will con clude in three quarters of an hour. I suggest this limited time, because, before the concluding speech is delivered it will be near midnight, and the mass cf the people will feel inclined to return to their homes, for the purpose of enjoying their natural repo-e. As we cannot agree upon the mere topics of discus sion, I shall meet you this evening, at half past 7 or 8 o'clock, at the Court House, f,:r the purpose of de bating the princi.oles of the parties, to which we have the honor respectfully, to belong. I have not consulted the venerable and estimable Alexander Johnston, but as he is one o( the few pro minent Democrati I knew in Westmoreland county, I nominate him as one of the moderators. As this bas bean somewhat of a diplomatic corres pondence, between belligerent powers, 1 conclude by renewing tha assurances, with which 1 have the Honor to be, very truly, Your obedient servant, WILSON SIVANDLESS Drcadfal and public suicide.—Yesterday morning, between 9 and 10 o'clock, Mr George D Forbes cut bis throat with a penknife in. the western passewway round the City Hall. Ho inflicted no less than eight gashes in the windpipe and jugular vein. Them were several persons near the scene, either in School street or Court square, but he struck SO rapidly, that his fatal object was accomplished before any one could reach him. The body was taken into a constable's office, and coroner Aqtrows summoned a jury of inquest, which wintered upon an investigation, but on account of tho absence of the person who first came to the assistance of the deceased, the jury adjourned to half past 2 o'- th is afternoon. The deceased is about 28 years of age; Ind not gen erally lived in theicity the past two years,—was i i the city on Saturday, and at different times during the day exhibited signs of mental aberration. On Saturday night he put up at the Broomfield House, but got up ut the alarm of fire between 3 and 4 yesterday morning. The deceased was the ton of the late Jonathan Forbes. of this city.—Boston Post. Best Time ever mute ors Amtriems Railroads.— The Express which came through on Sunday from Boston with the Acadia's passengers and mails was run by the enterprising proprietors of the Long Island Railroad, in connection with the Massachusetts road. The train left Boston at six o'clock in the afxwnoon, arriving at the Brooklyn South Ferry at six o'clock on Monday morning. Owing to a defect ir. the signals, the engines :tad steamboats at the r clay stations had to "fire up" after the train arrived, thus causing a delay of tin hour anal a half at Norwick, and two hours at Greenport. An accident at Worcester delayed them one hour. The steamboat consumed two hours and a half in rro..inz. the Ferry at Greenport, n distance of 32 miles. Onluct these delays and intenuptious from the twelve hours through tints, and we have the extra ordinary result of fire hours running time on the Long Island (76 miles) mid Norwich and Boston (110 miles) Railroads, being at the rate of miles an hour for the 206 miles. This is di: best time ever made on American Rrilnoads, althmtgli performed doting the night, and exceeds the best of English roads. A G rave (Aar ge.—Unroline Healy has been arrest ed in New Orleans, cburgcd w nit being an accessory be fore the fact of the murder of her husband, A• Thompson. This is rather a singular case. Caroline Healy, it appears, lived as housekeeper for some time with Mr Thompson, brass founder, the father of her husband, A Thompson, deceased. She was clandes tinely married to young Thompson some weeks before his decease. He died suddenly a few days since, and his wife publicly asserted that her husband Will pois„ oiled by his father, the old Thompson, he preferring to kill his child rather than he should live the husband of a woman whom the family did not wish to recognise. Au inquest was hidden the body of the deceased, and the contents of the stomach analyzed by an experienced chemist, who could not discover anything to sustain this grave and serious charge. Mr Thompson now accu ses Caroline Healy of causing_ his son's death by some.foul means, and thus the matter stands at pres ent. 1840 NOT 1844. The whip unwittingly acknowledge this, but still re fer to 1840 when it suits their purposes. They say thatthe democrats, in 1840, claimed "22 States and got 7. 251 electoral totes and got 60. Pennsylvania, and lost it by 359 mai Maine, and lost it by 411 " Delaware, and lost it by 1,093 " Michigan, and lost it by 1,802 " New Jersey, and lost it by 2,317 * 6 Mississippi, and lost it by 2,543 " Louisiana, and loot it by 3,680 " Maryland, and lost it by 4,776 '... Georgia, and lost by 8,321 " Tennessee, and lost it by 12,102 " North Carolina, and lost it by 11,591 " New Yotit, and lost it by 13.290 " Indiana, and lost it by Ohio, and lost it by Kentucky, and last it by Very well, and have we net gained nearly as many votes in the aggregate in the few States that have just voted as are in the above list. The same ratio °rein will carry every State iu the above list except North Carolina and Kentucky; and our friends begin to boast now that they can carry both of these.' The gain in Kentucky alone would carry EIGHT of the first of the above fta•es, and have a handsome amount left. MR. CLAY'S TRAIL IN NORTH CAROLINA Mr Clay appears to have loft behind, in the places be visited in North Carolins, on his late electioneering pilgrimage, as had an imp. ession as he did at New Or leans. Reverses mark his trail all along.. Fur in. In Wilmington, the first town he visited in North Carolina, and where the uthig ladies kissed him, the democratic majority mounts up to 119, nod in the coun ty (New Hanover.) the democratic candidate fur Gov ernor, whose name jars as harshly upon wing ear* po lite as evert Polk itself, has a majority of 820—being 70 more than Mr Van Buren's majority in 1840, and 136 - more dna the democratic majority of 1842 So in the metropolitan county,.(Wake,) where Mr Clay made his great Raleigh speech, in commemora tion, we believe, of the "unlucky" day when be was born, and which has since been revised or re-written at Ashland, and proclaiMed as the "Chart of Whig prin ciples," the democratic majority has increased hand somely over that of 1840—showing a gain on the Sem ate ticket of 101—and this notwithstanding Mr Man ly, who came within one vote of being nominated as the whig candidate for Governor; was the whig candi date for senator. The entire democratic ticket is elect ed in the county. These are the responses which Wake and New Hanover send back to Mr Clay at Ashland. it is a ply that Mr Cley should, not have been per mittedto extend his r eregrinations further in that re gion. His appearance in person any where seems to, have carr:ad mil it a posciful antidote to his princi ples smolt; democrats; and it would have been 'a mat ter of some curfosity to see how a visitation' erauld have operated ill;tfris strong Whig county. As it is, his personal i=eations seem to have been sadly misdi meted;aattatxdoubt his personal friends acted, wisely in sendiligiblia home.
