"WE DENY THAT MR CLAY, OR THE WHIGS OF GEORGIA, WHOSE CANDIDATE SEEK FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A- PROTECTIVE TARIFF. BUT MR. CLAY lIERES TO THE PRINCIPLES OF THE Ist/PRO4fIS E ACT." "Carters and Draymen "Shotsld be firm Clay men!" This is the dogrel heading to a handbill sticking on Etlso corners. It is another of the humbug attempts to 'rain the sutmrt of the workingmen, fore man and a ..„..,,atty.which have no feeling, in common with those who 1.0 fur a liveliltood —the same party who boasted that C.i• they would "come down"—"down," mind ye—and "take the laborer by the hand"—that they would 'stoop .i 0 conquer.' Let us take a few minutes to inquire why "Carters "and Draymen should be firm Clay men?" Is it because, at the late election for Mayor, the hies issued a handbill denouncing a man win) was • to be a favorite of the Carters and Draymen? • On the 9th of January ,a handbill appeared in favor of 'Henry Earle, the Clay-whig candidate for the 47 - Mayoralty. its which Alex. Hay was denounced be cause he was the candidate of the "Draymen and ±-'...Hucksters." This handbill asks: ".!;" °ls the chief magistrate to be elected exclusively for ",he benefit, and that of a few, DRAYSIEN and LOAFERS around the Mayor's Office?" Arc the Draymen of Pittsburgh so forgetful of in • as not to remember, that in Whig hadbills, last January, they were associated with "loafers"--and ;,.• charged with making common cause with "loafers and hucksters" to elect a tTayor to suit their own purposes? ' ire the Draymen of Pittsburgh so blind as not see the object of the whig demagogues, who denounced them as fit companions for "loafers," in January, but have honied words of flattery for them in September. But let us take another extract from this precious svhighandbill of January 9, 1844. It makes the fol lowing charge against Mr H • "He Las sacrificed the interests of the city to get ' the votes of a particular class—the DRAY MEN and !'Hucksters." What public interest Mr. Ilsr sacrificed to get the totes of Draymen, this whig handbill did not tell us. llas he not collected their licenses according to law lie did not insult nor oppress them, and for this he is denounced in this Clay Whig handbill. "For these reasons," says the whig handhlll, allu ding to those we have recited and others, "we have nominated Henry Earle," * 'Tor whom we now as k your votes." Mr. EARLE, so far as we know, is a worthy and al popular man; but he was sacrificed by the imprudence of his friends, and borne down by the unpopularity of Henry Clay,—for he came before the people as the Clay-wing candidate. The vote for Mayor stood as f,illows: Birmingham, (Dam.) 709-11ny, (Neutral) 974—Earle, (Clay-vrhig) 531. Tho "D,aymen" of Pittsburgh spurned the foul aspersions of the Clay orhigs in January last; and the regularly nominated eandidate of the Ashland whigs, got but 531, in the hitherto Whig city of Pittsburgh, where, at the Mayor's election in 1890. the Harrison candidate for Mayor 'had a majority of over 700 votes. But this base end miserable system of appealing :o classes and to factions, is not new with the whigs. They have no principles which they dare to avow, and they would be willing to set the whole community by the .ears, one class with another, if they could thereby carry their point. Last winter they thought they would elect their Mayor by arousing feeling or prejudice against the "Draymen," "loafers," and -hucksters," who they set down as all equally unwor thy, and equally the favorites of the Mayor. Now they appeal to the "Draymen," a; a class, to come and support their candidate—they will have no more to- say of the "hucksters'? and "loafers" till they "Draymen" again at the election wish to insult the nett winter, provided they think it their policy to do lON We ars mistaken if the honest, intelligent draymen or Pittsbmgh4urt7l be gulled by the miserable strata gems of these unprincipled politicians. HARD knor FOR THA WHIG SPEAKERS.—Iire .5. •de soarstand that some of the country whigs have sent • word to some of the city leaders, requesting them to keep a certain young gentleman at home who has for some time past been making speeches in the country. B e y complain-that he comes among them drease,d in tha "latest agony," and befor' he Addresses them, he 'dimes on a pair of white silk gloves, brush's the dust his 1,001? , co that the audience may observe their his collar, atran a hit je‘Nelry, and .... then gives the Democrats "particler jesay" for being, a irO a rt. r as be says, opposed to the Timid' awl the interests of the workingmen! We insist that a more ridieulous huirnbag could not be witnessed than to see a person dressed from head to foot in foreign finery; talking about protecting home imitate-y=4o bear an exquisite of the fit st water dressed up in the highest fashion, with white silk gloves on to protect his delicate hands, talking to the hard fisted farmers about the rights and interests of the workingmen. Such exhons they consider too ridiculous, and they don't want any I more dandies to address them. From the fastidiousness of the country people, we infer that they are behind improvements of the age, or at least behind the improvements of their whig brethren of the city. Here we can find whig orators who would scorn to adorn their persons with any domestic manufacturer's articles, holding forth nightly on the Tatiff and portraying in vivid colors the ne cessity of protecting home industry. The same men who never perforMed an hour's labor in their lives, but had lived on the profits of 'the toil of others, can be beard making the most plaintive appeals in behalf of the workingmen, and_ almost bursting their stays with indignation for doubting that they are the genuine "huge paws" of the country. Let one of oar country friends go into any of the whig Dry Good stores on Market street, and they can not get out until they have listened to a long. lecture about the devotion of the whigs to home industry, but if t ey should happen to examine the Goods, they will find the shelves filled full of foreign articles, and that those manufactured by our own workmen, are al most entirely excluded. Such inconsistencies as these —such glaring attemps to humbug the people, meet at every comer in the city. and only astonished that the people in country have not become accustomed to it Congress, VO,MM - A. long ago. We hope they will growl no more, at the dandiea appearance of the gentlemen who are sent from the ci ty to lecture them; all the little extra embellishments in which they indulge, is nothing more than the ;us toms of "genteel society," and in the opinion of the Whig elite, should not be abandoned to please the pri mitive notions of homespun clad farmers. THE FirTasts W Bios have caught up the vile false hoods that have been utterd by the American against - Mx Sunni, and republished the slander through their organ, on Saturday. The baseness of those who con trol the Gazette, in publishing this charge, will ap pear more startling to the community than that of Bid dle who, first uttered it. While he, like Snake in the play, lives by telling falsehoods and slandering those who may stand in the Tay of his empleyon, the teen whiffs have some pretensions to characteascand would no doubt desire the public to believe that they are honorable men. What right they have to such dbtiuction may be inferred from the fact that they have authorized the unbought editor of the Gazeete, the I pure and pious Deacon White to re-publish the gross falsehoods that were invented for him by his worthy I coadjutor of the American• The canting hypocrisy of the miserable creature of the Gazette is ten fold more disgusting than the brutal vulgarity with which the. American sent forth its foul calumny. He cants about the Bible, at the same time knowing that he is violating one of its moat sacred precepts thou shalt not boar false wit ness against thy neighbor"—and with an ill-assumed regard for the sacred volume he dares to make charges againstyttAscis R. SPUNK which his whole life pro claims to be false. During almost the whole periodthat has elapsed since the adoption of the . School Law, Mr. &matt has been connected in some manner with the public Schools, and throughout the whole period that he has acted as School DiActor .and Superintendent of Common Schools, we defy his slanderers to point to a single act of his that will sustain in the slightest manner the e which they now make against him. We understand that some of the whig leaders ere boasting that they have obtained several affidavits to substantiate the charge of trampling on the American Flag at the laying of the corner stone of the German Church. If this is a fact, we have no hesitation in saying that they are guilty of subornation of per jury, and if justice was done them, they would he consigned to the cells of the Western Penitentiary. We will endeavor to ascertain if this whig boast is true, and if it is we will publish to the world the names of the men who do not hesitate to resort to the crime of perjury to aid their cause. -- --- The whigs rely with much confidence on their base attempt to gatble and pervert Col Pot.a's remarks upon the Wool duty. Col. Polk reported and sus tained a Tariff of 15 per cent. on the etude of Wool. The following is a passage from the history of the passage of the present Tariff Bill. It shows who are the opponents of a duty on Wool. "Mr Choate and Mr Simmons, ultra whigs, 'en deavored to show that the coarse wools from abroad do not come in competition with wool growers here."' "Mr Wright (Democrat) maintained that it did come directly in competition with a huge class of growers of coarse wools, in this country." "Mr Wright moved to strike out the ditty of five per cent. on manufactured coarse wool, and insert twenty per cent." "Messrs Choate and Simmons opposed the amend ment; and endeavored to show that there was no com petition in coarse wools." "Mr Wright replied, showing that there was, and alluded to the numerous petitions for protection on coarse wool of this description." "The question was then taken, decided in the ne gative." "Yeas—Allen, Baeby, Benton, Buchanan,Cuther bert, King. Linn, Phelps, Preston, Rives, Sevi, Smith of Conn.. Smith of Indiana. Sturgeon, Wood bury, Williams, Wright, Young-18." Of these, fifteen are Democrats, with only three Whigs, for protection on "wool!" "Nays—Archer, Barrow, Bates, Bayard. Berrien, Choate, Clayton, Conrad, Crafts, Crittenden. Dayton, Evans, Huntingdon, Manoum, Miller, Morebend, Por ter, Simmons, Sprague, fallmadge, White-21. Hero we find the Whigs voting nearly en masse against raising the duty from five to twenty per cent. The bill presented by Mr McKay at the last session of Congress, proposed fifteen per cent. on wool, the for which Col Polk voted when in Congress. How wttt. New YORK Vora.—The New York Morning News says, the Whip "forget that in 1840, New York was a %Vhig State—Whig by their great majorities of 15,000 in 1837, and 10,000 in 1838. But nous avons change tout cela. New York is now smother part of speech. In both last year and the year before, we swept the State by upvranis of 20,000. Where ore we going to lose any of our majority of last year, when we had about 2,000, being a gain of about 35,000 since 1840? No—New York is safe, and the pledge which Mr Vun Buren's friends gave for her in Baltimore, to the rest of the Union, will be redeemed." r• Its foROITRI 1W ow TETA TO Tin DILATNIO• This was one of the grave charges made in the Whig handbill of January 9;1844, against Alexander, Say sow, i•Carter‘ and Draymen should all be firm Clay- Lunstho =Ens 1.- -•••••••---- -- ----- - - ___ HO ST ANTIMASONS LOOK HiREI be redeems the, no friend of iihrought to object to Mr PaLIC'S views: which tire Pat about the same;' ------- .s, i Ibe vidalles them, then he is nnworthy 4 the;ponfideacit Alt oTasist almotr XC g zki • lof the people, end power should' not: be confided' to -79 4 a Ho n .

WOOL BCDFORD, August 26, 1844 J. F. COX,, ESQ. Dear Sir.—Some two or three weeks since I asset , ted, through the columns of the Bedford Gaxeue, that you acre °mussed to the election of HENRY 'CLAY to the Presidency of the United States. That statement has been denied by the Federalists of this place—l will,, therefore, take it as an especial favor if you will ikra rtfa your views for publioatiou touch ing this subject, if amide= with you; 'feelings, in order that d people may be folly satisfied as to whether or boa - boa made a misrepresents's*. Yours, respec.tfolly, GEO. W. BOWMAN. --- . .. s - . L'• - BEDFORD, Aug. 28,1844. Gen. Geo. W. Bowman: --- „ Dear Sir.--Youts of the 26th inst. was handed to me on yesterday, in which you say "it has been deni ed that I was opposed to the election of Henry Clay to the Presidency of the United States," with a request that I would give you my views, if consistent with my feelings. It is rather strange that there should be any misap prehension on this subject, for I have never belonged to the non committal sch ool of politicians, but have at all times, when requested, expressed My views freely. I therefore fell no reluctance in complying with you request--and I will briefly "define my position." /am decidedly opposed to As election of HEN RY CLAY. I will add, I never was, net never will be, a supporter of HIS. In 1839, when Mr Clay and his confidential friends were strsiniag evely nerve to procure his nomination for President. and when their efforts seemed all but successful, every erw who knew me can testify how unequivocally I expressed my deter mination to vote for Van Buren in t e event of CLAY being nominated. Mr Clay's character and claims to the% Presidency, (long as they have been urged, and various as are th spects in which they have been are sub e jects upon which I, for one, have presented,) never changed my' ?pinion. The evidence 1 - 011 before the public previous to 1828 convinced me that, in voting for Adams, Mr Clay sa crificed his duty to the country and his constituents, to an unjortifiable feeling ore selfish desire, the character of which was made manitest by that evidence. It ie true that I was thenboth yoiing and ardent, aswell as on enthusiastic supporter of Gen Jackson. But lam not conscious that any mere feeiing could have influenced my judgntant; for the same conviction has adhered to to my mind ever since, although my political attitude Gen lickson has differed materially. I was. and am, an ANTIMAS'ON: and a believer in the fundament's' article of that political creed, to win opposition to the institution and votaries of Free masonry. I remember well Mr Clay's insulting letter man Anti- masonic committee in Indiana, and I have not forgot ten the burst of bitter indignation with which his insul ting reply was recived by the whole Antimasonic Par- I ty, nor the solemn determination with which we all vow ed to remember it. In his late letter to Mr. Reigart. of Lancaster, though his tone in regard to the oppo. nem* of the Lodge is more respectful, and although he does not call in question the tight of Mr. Reigart to interrogate him touching Masonry, be speaks of it as if it were a pure and sightseer, or at least innocent institution. If this be true, then Antimasonry was a more imposture, and the Masons were PERSEC D UTE by us for conscious sake—not opposed because of the dangerous character of the institution. I for one am not prepared to admit that I spent many of the best yeats of my life in the service of such a party as Mr Clay would have it believed that the A ntimasons were—per secutors of the innocent and charitable. That en An timason should vote for a ROYAL ARCH MASON may perhaps be justified as an exercise of the "Charity that thitiketh no evil," and pelkaps wo ought to for give Mr. Clay when we remember the nature and char acter of his obligatiens as one of the' brotherhood," but it is the duty of no party nor individual to pass by a deliberate insult, much less to assist in elevating the man who gave it, to the highest Ake in the world.— 1 will no do it. I was devotedly attached to Gen Harrison, person ally end politically. I believe Here y Clay and his friends did all in their power to defeat his nomination —fair efforts were justifiable, but I thick I can safely say that evidence could be produced that means not justifiable weie resorted to. I know from one who could not be mistaken, what Gen. Harrison', convic tions were upon the subject. During the summer of 1810 I was much engaged in the memorable campaign then going on. 1. wits through a great putt of Pennsylvania, and Hien through a portion of the state of New York. I consulted ft ee ly with the prominent and leading friends of Gen Harrison, as well as with the Mass, upon the ques tions of public policy which had been and are now agitated. I was perfectly satisfied, that no consider able portion of the Harrison party were di-posed to go for a NATIONAL BANK.--ma far as my know ledge extends it was denied that that question was an issue in the contest. I mention my conviction on this aubject, fur the reason that I attrihnte the attempt which was made to charter a Bank, after the election of Harrison, to the malign influence of Mr. Clay— evidence affording pregnant proof of his total dis regard of public will!!! But it is said by many that Mr Clny ought to be elected because Mr POLA is a free trade man. I re gard this as a mere partizan assertion made for effect, and without the necessary evidence to sustain it. The \question as to the kind of a tariff we should hove, is rather a local titan a political question, as is manifest from the various views ptesented in different sections of our widely extended republic: But where is the evidence that Mr Pose'S views are not as sound upon that question as Mr Clay's. Surely not in his speeches and votes during his long and honorable career in Congress, nor in his more recent letter to Mr Kane. Will it be denied that he is in favor of such a tariff as will raise sufficient revenue to support the g overn- , ment, imposed with proper discrimination, with a view to protection? It cannot be with any semblance of re- 1 gard for truth. Is Mr Clay in favor of any thing more?, It will not be pretended that ho is. I will net now discuss the question whether a revenue tariff is, or is not, thelproper kind of a one—it is, bovicver,genemlly admitted that it will furnish protection enough. But whether right or wrong, Mr Clay's position is weniunsi dersteod—if he is not in favor of - tool:Mg to revenue alone, and if he does no: consider a revenue tariff sufficient, then I cannot understand plain English. If there be one public man in this nation emphatical ly and strongly committed in favor of such a tariff, and opposed to any further protection than that afforded by a revenue tariff, that man is Mr Clay. The compro mite act received his support—has he not always con tended that it should be kept in view? It is true he has not always been consistent, bet such is his lest po. salon—whatever he may once have been, be is now pledged to the revenue policy. One of two things, therefore, must be true either Mr Clay will redeem his pledges oar t:,..is subject, us else he will violate them. If EMOCRATIC MEETING ATTARENTIM. There was quite is large meeting of the Democrats at Tarentum, on Thursday last, which was convened, too, at but two or three der notice. Cu). Teettas Neat., presided, assisted by a number of Vice 'Presidents and Secretaries, and the meeting was addressed by Andrew Burke and George W. Layng, Fauts.; Hs Kerr, W. H. Smith. R. W. Irons and Robert Porter. The Pius burgh Democratic Glee Club were present. and added much to the pleasure of the meeting by the masterly manner:in which they gave several of their bestsongs. The following excellent.resolutions were reported by a Committee appointed for the purpose, and were a dopted unanimously: • Resolved, Thnt we recognir.e in James K. Polk the true exponent of the principles of the Democratic par ty, and to him we will award the suffrages of au intelli gent and enlightened people. Resolved, That George M. Dallas, the worthy son of Pennsylvauia, the able statesman and learned jurist, is an honor to his state and to the people that have nom inated him fur the second highest station in the nation's gift. Resolved, That we congratulate our brethren of the Commonwealth on the wise selection of the Harrisburg Convention, in placing before the people the name of Francis R. Shunk, for the office of Governor,—a man whose long experienels and know s rl integrity warrants him the Cult support of the democracy of Pennsylvania. Resolved. That Polk, Dallas and Shrink aro the people's candidates --being chosen from among than; men whose ambition never sought the station to which the people have called them, and their moral worth and political integrity have justly entitled them. Resolved, That we tegerti the Tariff principles of Henry Clay as hypocritical—, protectionist to the manufacturer, eels free trade man to the planter. Resolved, The James K Pulk is the true friend of American Indirstry, the friend of equal protection to all kinds of industryrembraeing manufactures, agri culture, the mechanic arts, commerce and navigation. Resolved, That we recognize in .tbe whig party a National Bank party—ea institution unnecessary and unconstitutional—and that we regard the arguments used by Henry Clay, in 1811, in opposition to such nn institution, as paramount to any argument he dam ever use in its favor. Resolved, That we regard the distribution of the proceeds of, the public lands at this ; time as a vio lation of the deeds of cession; degrading the states by reducing them to the situation of pensioners of gener al government. Resolved, That we are opposed to a Nnuonel I Bank. a National Debt, Distribution of the Proceeds cf the Public Lands, and a liberal construction of the Constitution; but in favor of a strict construction of the Constitution, a Tariff for Revenue witlidisctimination foe Pt otection, Equal Bights, the man to vote, avd no properly qu alification; and no alteration in the Natu ralization Laws. Resolved, Thnt while the whig party would wish to gull the people by claiming for themselves all the decency and the true republican principles, they have manifested themselves in their true light in the war waged lignites men for opinion's sake, and in the 'neer cerutiott uf Thomas W. Derr, for asserting what the signers of the Declaration of Independence asserted when they declared that all men were free and equal, 'snd that the rigtit to govern was inherent in the t wo. ale. FIFTH WARD DEMOCRATIC MEETING. Agreeable to notice, the sth ward Democratic As sociation met in their usual place.

The following resolution was off, red and unanimous ly adopted : "That the Democracy of the sth ward will desig nate their houses by putting out a flag or young Hicko ry branch on the 10th inst., and also on the 19th—the day of our Grand Convention, and we would respect fully recommend the same course to cur Democrutic lirethrem elsewhere"—after which Mr. Woodward was called upon to address the meeting, which he did in his usual happy manner. On motion, the meeting adjourned. WM. WILSON, President. • J S HAXILTON, Secretary. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AND EXPLOSION. The Keel boat "Tiger," of Morgantown, Va., while lying at the Ferry of Mr Jeremiah Davidson. of Le zerne township, took fire on Sunday morning the 18th ult. The crew, consisting of Bor 10 men, had retired to rest at the usual hour, and were in a deep sleep on the roof when the flames, about two o'clock in the morning, burst through the roof close to where they were sleeping. The crew hastily sprang to their feet and rushed to the forecastle to secure two kegs of gun powder which had been placed there, but unfortunate. ly as they opened the door in the bow of the boat, the flames spread all around them with fearful rapidity, compelling them to flee to the shore for safety. They had retreated but a few steps from the boat, when the two kegs of powder exploded, making a complete wreck of the boat and destruying its valuable cargo, consisting of 140 or 150 Ws of Salt, from 6 to 10,- 000 weight of groceries and other goods, together with a large lot of liquors The hull, as well as the cargo of the boat, after burning for near two hours, sunk to the bottom of the river. Not five dollars worth of the whole cargo could be saved. Indeed, the crew could not even save their wearing epparel, and were left almost entirely destitute. The goods were destin ed for Middletown, Va. We have heard no estimate of the loss, but it must be great. A like calamity, wo believe, has never occurred on the Monongahela Genius of Liberty. ‘ a KEENAN, European Agent," bas return :l s ed to this city flum the South, and will in a few days on his Eighteenth trip for Europe. eons having Debts, Legacies, or Claims to collect; Death of Gabriel hfoore.--The Caddo Gazette, at rches to make; remittances of money to their friends; Shreveport, announces the death of Gabriel Moore,: other business to tomsact - there, will require to call formed} Governor of Louisiana, and subsequently "fn him immediately, at the Merchants' Hotel Wood of its representative in Congress.

WYLIE, D. D., ON THR EFFICACY OF THE MEDICATED VAPOR BATH. Messrs. I.7enung 4. Black: GENTLENIENt-1 have made trial of your Vapor • Bath. The benefit thereof has much exceeded . my ex pectatio s. I had not anticipated the degree of pleasure produced by the medicated vapor doting the while process of its operation. I could scarcely have spent fifteen minutes mr , pleasantly; while my lupgs were inhaling an odorifermts perfumed at mosphere, and every pore of my 'Admit was exuding, in copious perspiration - ' noxious humors, injurious tts the hea heals y.suate. I left the Bath greatly refreshed, and even exhilarated. I had been tioubltd much with rheumatic pains. and worn down with fatigue uf busi ness, _• the pains Pere completely removed, and rt.- eeived fresh animation. It cantle', it is true, cure broken bones, or reduce luxations of joint-; to such things it makes no pretensions. But it can and dots, expel from the body, such peacoat matter as may, by its presence, be incompatible with n perfectly healthy condition of the human frame. Without hesitation:l, can recommend the Vapor Bath to all afflicted by languor of constitution, oriaboring under such diseas es as it professes to alleviate nr cure. SAMUEL B. WYLIE, Pittsburgh, Aug. 17, 1844. Philadelphia.. Persons afflicted with Rheumatic pains will see by die above letter that they csn rely on being cured, as in no instance where the Bath and medicines were used have they failed to produce a similar result.
