`ln a spaech made in Congress, in the session
of 1832=33, on the Tariff question Mr Polk said:—
"The Wool Growers consider the duty upon foreign
wool as important totheir prosperity. THIS 0 P I N
ION, I APPREHEND IS FOUNDED IN ER
ROR."
MY OWN OPINION IS THAT WOOL
SHOULD BE DUTY FREE, but as wool growers
think otherwise, we have 'visit-x(lu dtnyof FIFTEEN
- PER CENT, upon the imported article."
' SCANDALOUS -GARBLING -It might be supposed,
from the confident and impudent manner in which
whig organs and orators in Pennsylvania assert Col.
roues hostility to the Tariff, that they need not re
sort to garbling and misrepresentation, to sustain their
position. Such, however, is not the case. They know
their assertion is false. They know Cul Powt occu
pies a strong and popular position on the Tariff ques
tion. They know that the confidence of Tariff . men
can he unhesitatingly placed in him, for he ht.s not,
iike CLAY, committed himself irrevocably to the' Com
promise act, and he did not, like that trimming dem
agogue. ever abandon his scat in the ccuncils of
the nation, to avoid disturbing the Compromise act.—
ft is because they know these thirgs, that they find it
necessary to pervert, conceal and garble his sentiments
on the Tariff, as they have been doing. An electioneer
,. tog pamphlet has been issued by the whigs of this
ettanty. signed by James Dunlop, and others, in which
is inserted Col Polk's letter to J K Kane, on the tariff,
•
with the exception of the last paragraph, which
reads as follows:
• "I hold it to be THE DUTY of government, to ex.
*tend, as far as practicable, by its revenue laws, add
all other means within its power, FAIR AND JUST
PROTECTION TO ALL THE GREAT INTER
. ESTS OF THE WHOLE UNION, EMBRACING
i. AGRICULTURE, MANUFACTURES, MECHAN
IC ARTS, COMMERCE AND NAVIGATION." —
Letter to J. K. K sae, dated Jane 19, 1844.
Why was this important sentence omitted ? Be.
cense the authors of the wing pamphlet knew, that the
.liberal and comprehensive views it contains, would
contrast to the disadvantage of CLAY, who has decla
-sod that "Aviculture needs no protection." Gov.
Pout would extend the protection of Government to
"all the great interests of the Union, embracing AG
_ RICULTU RE, MANUFACTURES, MECHANIC
ARTS, COMMERCE, and NAVIGATION." Clay
talks to the farmer after this fashion:
-"AGRICULTURE NEEDS NO PROTECTION.
'The habits of. Farmers, generation after generation,
• ~
pus down along track of time in perpetual succession,
without the slightest change; and the ploughman who
fastens his plough to the tail of his cattle, will not own
fete is any improvement equal to this:"—HtNnY
ZSaLY.
Not only does Mr Clay proudly tell the Farmers
..r ._{Mat they "need not," and consequently will not get,
'-aoy "protection" from the government, but insults
them with the aspersion that they cannot understand
our appreciate the daily improvements making in ev.
ary darpartment of trade and business. He tells them,
simaffeM, that they alone, of all classes of society, are
tonassabed and unimproved by that glorious spirit of
progress which is the distinguishing characteristic of
the age in which we live. Notw,ithstanding every day

ments, •an improved plough, or fanning mill, or thresh

by reason of the liberality with which they ate patron

axe so stubborn and so stupid, that they fasten their
plough "to the tail of their cattle, and will not own

TUC IRON M ANUFACTURERS.—So confidently do
she Nhi gs rely on their ability to humbug the people
with their false statements of Clay's attachment to the
Twill, that they already begin to boast of the great

nit. It is nothing new fur the whigs to underrate
sod doc.y, the intelligence of the people, and it is clear
ehey.are , building upon that idea when they calculate
+foreboding the iron manufactures into the support of
the man who "throttled the Tariff." The Democrats of

Messrs Mucks, PL.IIMIR, REYNOLDS, KERR and
HASSON took an active part. Judge MYZRS took oc

aeszlionse, that he had received an anti-tariff letter
from lir Polk—that be consequently refused to support
that be intended to go for Clay. He took
this occasion to say that there was not a Yard of truth
in the report: He Diver reeglied a letter from Mr.
Polk, nor did he ever intend -voting for Clay. Oa the
contrary ho warmly supported Loses K Pot.x, whom
be considered as good a Tariff man as H Clay,and bet.
ter, for he was firm and consistent, whereas Clay was
alwa3 s vaciliiating. You always knew where to find
P olk—C lay was never to be depended on upon that sub
ject. Judge M. proceeded to state, that in conversa=
den recently with a prominent member of the federal
party, he wrung from him the admission that a Nation
al Beak and not the Tariff, is the great object of
that party. Ho made some excellent remarks on the
inexpediency and folly of chartering another U S
Bank, or disbursing the sales of the Public Lands,and
took his seat among the hearty cheers of the crowd."
A3ll Pote.—Among the other attractions which
the Whigs intend to have at their approaching Conven
tion, is an Ash Pole, cut from the farm of the man
who "throttled the Tariff." Three ardent young
whiga, we are told, wrote in the quietest manner, to
Mr. CLAY, asking him to send them an Ash Flag
Staff, to be used on the 10th 'September. They have
received an answer from Mr. C. stating that the pole
has been cut and shipped, according to order. These
cunning coons will certainly get ahead of all their
brethren, and should have the superlative honor of
"saving the country," fur if thisprecious pole will not
'save the country,' we should like to know what
chance there can possibly be for these devoted United
States. We hope no one will say anything about this
pole, for the gentlemen who are procuring it, intend to
keep the whole matter a profound secret.
Sr. Auousrlsit's CHURCH.—The congregation of
this ill-fated church have resolved upon the erection of
another splendid edifice upon the ruins of the former
beautiful one. They intend first, to put up a small
building on Crown street upon the site of the residence
of the Rev. Dr. Moriarty, which was also destroyed
by the mob, fur the purpose of affording the congrega
tion a place of worship, until the main building is
completed.
A COON FALSEHOOD
The Gazette last week published an article stating
that a number of Democrats on their return from the
Convention at Elizabeth. stopped at the house of
Esq. Cunningham,in Mifflin township, and after cheer
ing Mr Cunningham and Rndy Patterson, proposal
a s nd gave three groans for Elizabeth. The last part
of the statement is a vile falsehood. Those who went
from this city to Elizabeth on that occasion, were most
hospitably entertained by their democratic friends and
every possible attention was rendered them.
As I understand that a prominent member of the
Whig party has offered to bet one hundred dollars that
the statement in the Gazette is correct, I weold inform
him that he has only to call with his money at the
office of the Post, and I pledge myself to accommodate
him. _W. C. M.
FOR THE POST.
. MESSRS. DENNY AND CLAY.
The former of these gentlemen has in his card, fn
the Post of Saturday, candidly acknowledged that he
was in error, when hesaid in December last, that his
letter condemning the Compromise bill was written
before Mr Clay explained. He adds to this rulmis
.sion the following paragraph:
"The fact that ample means were at hand and of
record to enable your intelligent correspondent to point
out any mistake, will be sk:relent to satisfy him that
it was not 'a wilful misstatement.'"
I did not charge him m ith a 'wilful misstatement,
but the mere fact that there existed evidence to con
tradict him, would not of itself have convinced me
that the misstatement was not 'wilful.' Many a wil
ful misstatement has been MAO, notwithstanding the
existence of evidence to disprove it, because the man
making sut,h statements might not know that any per
son would take the trouble to contradict him. This,
however, is unimportant, the error is acknowledged,
and I have not ventured to pry into his heart and judge
his secret purpose.
Mr D. nay in the same card has the following pars
graphs:
'lf your correspondent had perused the whole de
bate which took place on the bill, and continued at in
tervals until the evening of the Ist March, 1833, he
would have became acquainted with Mr Clay's mo
tives and principles, much better than through the
medium of a letter written by myself or any other per
son a day or two after the measure was first proposed.
Fie would have found also that Mr Clay, otter the
date of my letter, made more than one speech explain
ing-his views, the principles of the bill, and its opera
tion. A very able and eloquent speech was mode by
Mr Clay on the 25th Fejnuary, a full report of which
is to be found in Niles' Register of the 3d of March,
and which embraces several observations made by him
on other occasions during the progress of the bill.
"Your correspondent will no doubt remember that
the bill was referred to a select committee on the 13th
February, and had therefore been but one thy before
the Senate. On the 19th February Mr Clay reported
the bill with various amendments, which were agreed
to on the 21st, after which Mr Clay moved another
amendment of great importance, introducing a new
feature into the bill, which was to make the home val
uation of goods the standord for the assessment of du
ties under the bill after 1842, instead of the foreign
valuation.
"It appears, therefore, that the debate was not re
sumed until the 19th, the fifth day after the date of
my letter. The discussion was continued at intervals
until the evening of the Ist of March, Mr Clay and
other friends of protection replying to objections, and
more clearly and fully explaining their views of the
bill."
Mr Denny thinks that if I had read the whole de
bate, I would have better undetstood Mr Clay's mo
tives. I have no doubt, however, that Mr Denny is ful
ly aware that a politician's acts are better exponents
of his motives than his words. Now let us look et
his acts. It is recently stated in the Madisonian, that
during a certain controversy, in which Mr Wise was
concerned, Mr Webster stated that when Mr Clay
first prepared his Compromise bill, there was a clause
in it to the following effect:
"And such duties shall be laid without reference to
"the protection of any domestic article whatever."
This, if true, is a plain and total abandonment of' ,
protection and discrimination also; but it may not be
true, although plainly charged. At all events, Mr.
Webster will soon-be forced to speak upon the subject,
and if the statement attributed to him be true, it will
be moat manifest that Mr Clay was ready to abandon
protection, and was driven from his intended course
by the firmness of Mr Webster and ethers.
Throwing this out of view for the present, I ask the
attention of the readers of the Post to the undeniable
fact admitted by Mr. Denny in the above extract, that
the principle of ""home valuation" was not in the bill
when presented. But after it was referred to the
Committee, Mr. Clay reported it back with several
amendments, and then stated to the Senate that he was
authorized to say that an amendment *sac) the home
valuation would be afterwards proposed. So that
there is no evidence that Mr. Clay was the first to sug
gest that mode of valdation, and if he was, it is mani
fest, that nothing but the firm opposition of the Tariff
men led him to sweeten the odious bill with the home
valuation clause. It &mins obvious that it was not a
part of the original plan but a mere afterthought.—
Mr. Denny, in his letter of February,lB33, sare "it is
believed that the project submitted by Mr. Clay pre
viously received the approbation of Mr. Calhoun," but
he did not approve the home valuation clause.
Mr. Denny thinks it might be difficult to settle
whether his letter of the 14th February, 1833. was re
ally written before or after Mr. Clay had fully ex
plained his views, because he had spoken eight columns
before that date and eight and one half after that day,
and down to the 25th. I shall certainly not attempt
either by a foot rule cr by scales to settle the grave
and important fact, nor is it necessary; for it so hap
pens that on the 26th of February, 1833, Mr. Denny
opposed the bill, and made a speech of which the
Washington Telegraph of February 28th gives the fol
lowing report:
"Mr DENNY said, it might be perceived that the
- _
bill was not intended to be more than an experiment
which the house eras called upon to maks for the pur
pose of gratify few discontinted of thesoutb. The
gentleman from Kentucky bad proposed the bill as a
compromise. No doubt he had teceived it as such.—
He spoke of the danger of granting this measure of
Compromise, lest more should be insisted upon- He
enlarged upon the inconvenience to which the manu
facturing part of the country, particularly his own
State, (Pennsylvania,) would be exposed by yielding
the protective duties, and on the superior advantages
enjoyed by England, of capital and pauper labor, over
this country. lie wished some gentlernan,more able
than himself, would pronounce the funeral oration
of the protective policy, for it had been murdered.
There still remained to the industrious of Pennsylvania,
however, the prairies of the west: there they might
be driven from their usual labor; for they were not
likeslaves, confined, to one plantation."
I will only add that these remarks were made in re
lation to the compromise bill with the home valuation,
and just as it became a law, and yet in his letter of
Saturday Mr. Denny pronounces Mr. Clay "the firm
and unconquerable friend" of the very thing he had
"murdered" eleven years ago. T. H.

MARINE DISASTER.
Tkrillieg Narrative.—Capt. Berry of the ship
Vicksburg, which arrived last, evening frnm New-Or
leans, reports that on the 6th of August, in lat. 27
26m, lung, 87 46m, an object having the appearance of
a boat was discovered about three points forward of the
weather beam. The ship's course was immediately
alteied toward it, and on teaching it was hove to.—
The boat was taken alongside and seven persons re- I
ceived on board who proved to be the captain and
crew of the Brig schooner Orange, lost on the voyage
from Jamaica to Matanzas, Ales. McDonald, master;
Wm. Young, mate; Edward Cook. Richard Evans,
John Brown, *cannot: Willinfiloseve, ordinary sea
man, and Robert Wilkinson, cook. flaring been 13
days in a beat 14 feet long, they were all as might be
expected in a weak and critical state, and three of I
them had to be lifted on board. The youngest of them]
(Wm. Ruzeve) was much emaciated and totally in
sensible : and although every means was used to restore
him, he only survived three hours, and at sunrise his
`bcdy WWI deposited in the Sailor's Griave with the
solemn and impressive service of the Pt4otestant Epis
copal Church. Dating the night the mate was deliri
ous, but bra since, with the rest almost, regained his
usual health. Their desire for water was very great,
and much care was at first used in administering it to
them; and it was not until the third day that their
thirst was satisfied., at which time each person had u
sed three gallons of water
Cape. McDonald stated that on 24th July et 2 A. M.
when about in lat. 22m 95m N. long. 85m 4m W. the
schooner was suddenly capsized in a heavy squall from
the Eastward. The lanyards of the weather rigging
were immediately cut away, but the ballast having shif
ted, and the sails and masts being in the water, all
hope of righting was at once Inst. Fortunately at the
time the vessel capsized the jolly boat, turned over, and
all hands succAled in getting in and gut dearof the ves
sel, which at alrriost the same moment disappeared.
Thus they were left at the mercy of the waves without
pros Wens or water, or an oar to guide the boat. Part of
, the writ was bioken offand made use to steer the boat,
I which was kept before the sea till t iay-light. During
the day the lining and foot boards, were torn off and
converted into mast, on which was spread the Cap
tsin's shirt for a sail. The boat was steered to the
Southward-with the hope of falling in with the rand,
and in the nf:ernnon a bark was seen standing to the
Westward directly toward them, and about two miles
off hove to for a short time, then tilled away and steer
ed Southerly for about half an hour, and before sunset
was again steering to the Westward. -0o the 25th,
there being no appearance of land, the boat's course
was altered to the Westward, before the sea, with the
hope of falling in with some vessel.
From this time to the 28th ult. the wind contined
from the Eastward, and the boat was steered Wetter
ly. On this day, for the first ime, it rained for about
two hours, and by using two pairs of shoes, (which
were all they had,) and wringing their clothes, they
succeded in getting about a pint of watet each. From
this date until the 31st ult. they continued without see
ing ar.y vessel and without water. Onthis day and
the next it ruined for about four hours, and suqcient
water mas obtained to quench their thirst for the tint.
From this time to the 6th of August the wind was
South-East, and the boat's course was 'to the North-
West, and no Water was obtained—during which time
their sufferings were very great. On one of these days
a bamboo was picked up, and found to contain four
small fishes about two inches long, which were divided,
nod constituted they only foodthe had while in the boat.
On the morning of the 6th of August three ships pas
sed them, but it was supposed the boat was not seen
from them. The distressed villYagers were, however,
soon gratified with the sight of the ship that afforded ,
them relief.
Gov Dorr.—We were informed on Monday that
this victim of Algerine oppression wns suffering under
a severe and aggravated attack of the rheumatism,
and that his friends bad applied to the Committee who
visitthe prison, for such a relaxation of prison disci
pline, as might permit him to take snch exercise in the
open air, as the circumscribed limits of the yard would
permit; and thnt the request was coldly and unfeel
ingly refused. Such a refusal of an indulgence, so es
sential to his health, perhaps to the preservation of his
valuable life, is characteristic of the obdurate hearts
of the party who have consigned him to that gloomy
prison house, end contradicts the oft-re pented state
ments of the Journal the). he has been allowed every
reasonable indulgence. It is evident that our whig
rulers have conspired against his Iffe. Not satisfied
with being the assassins of Kilby, they would become
the cold-blooded murderers of pour, and earn the title
given them by the Journal, of "cut-throat Algerines."

The contest lasted two hours and twenty minutes, and
Long was declared the victor on the 106th mend. The

to the amount of $BOO. Smith was severely punished,
but no more than any man should be who would dis
grace human nature by engaging in such a brutal busi

named Peter Emery into the w titer, where he lost his
life. The river is now only one foot from the main
levee, which is caving fast, and at this point the water
is 30 feet deep. A meeting of the citizens of Car
