COMPROMISE ACT."
BASIC HTTOCRISY.-.-Now that Clay is out, "'
s . end horst'," for Texas, we might suppose that his sup
porters would not have the Satan-like impudence to ad
vocate bis election as an Anti-Texas candidate. But
still they do seek to further his pretensions on that

_ -11 b setting forth
that a business firm in Mobile, who, he says, are Dem
twat', "inform the Alabama Planters that they will not
. be able to givers high price fur human cattle until Tex
as is admitted," Sec. The Traver then gives the card
, of the firm, in which they advertise 'young Negroes' as
always on hand, &e.
Now, there is no evidence that these slave dealers
ars Democrats, nor is there one word in their cowl a

defames, But if they are Democrats, what rascally ,
hypocrisy is it for the Tribune to bold them up to tbe
eoetempt - of northern men, for the sake of ca.sting
spry on our party, while the Tribune itself is support
ing a notorious breeder of slavetra men who offered
to sell Lis stock for fifteen Iltousand dollars—at leapt,
that Is which which Clay told Mr Mendenhall ho
must ridge belSre he would consider Mr M's request
to free his headmen.
Henry Clay has grown rich—independently rich, on
• the prufiu of slave labor, (suremdded to immense ler
;gouts frOm the U. S. Bank,) and so far from desiring
to atone for his behavior in this particular, he boldly
and tauntingly expresses his willingness to take the'
price of 'human cattle,' as the Tribune affectedly terms
Slaves. from those who ask, in the name of philanthro
py, that tie will set his Freedmen free! And not only
is Henry Clay in practice a strong supporter of Slave
ry, but in theory he goes as far, if Dot further, to sus
min the institntion.as any man in this nation. Not on
ly does be keep, and breed, and sell slaves, but he de
clared thee his title to property in these 'human cattle
Is 'sanctified'--nod of course planed above and beyond
the efforts of m3rtal minds or human agitation. What
public matt, either great or small, has expressed him
self more pointedly or more strongly for Slavery than
this same bad and dangerous man, Henry Clay! Not
one. Yet theffribune and kindred presses claim for
him Anti-Slavery support is the present canvass.
But if Henry Clay had not always been a slave-bold
ser and a slave-breeder—if he had never offered his
slaves for sale to Mr Mendenhall—if he had not decla
red that-property in Negro Slaves bore a 'sanctified'
title—be has said enough in his last Texas letter a
lone, to make any man wino has any respect fur the in
telligence of the people, shrink from the attempt to
gain favor for him from men who intend to cast their
Notesin such a manner as will most tersi to the destruc
rtion.of Skier - re.
With the Liberty men, the question of Annexation
is allimportaat. Their only reason for opposing An
' vexatious is the fear that it will extend the territory,
increase the influence, and prolong the duration of the
Slave power. In addressing them, Whig writers and
speakers have taken this as diehards of their argument,
and have striven to conviracethea..ihesty Istentlast Hen
try Clay opposed Texas. chiefly because it wortli extend
slavery and the Slave Power. Whatever arguments
erasers ma) use ogain-t Annexation, Anti-Slavery men
Nave used none but this.
Now Clay, in his last Texas letter, says: "I DO
.NOT THINK THAT TIIE SUBJECT OF SLAVE
'RV OUGHT TO AFFECT THE QUESTION ONE
WAY OR THE OTHER. "' * IDO NOT BE

Bore, then, he makes a direct issue with Libert
seep. Some persons may oppose leans because a war
Amy. follow annesation—some beam.° they think the
Penns unfit es enjoy rational liberty—but Liberty men
o ppose it because it e ill extend slavery—and Clay
treats that objectiorte ith sovereign contempt. Yet his

"Mr Shunk mado 'Lapeer') in Dutch to his Catholic
sends of that language. He told them that the Dem •
twat, were their friends, sad in all their difficulties
with the Protestants were side by side with them.—
That the whigs ware friends of tbo Native Americans,
who wanted they should be here twenty-one years be
fore they could vote. That Mr Muhlenberg, who
had been a Protestant preacher, • hnd quit the calling
vo dere: ti them in their rights, and that in this be was
supported by the democratic patty.
This publication was made prior to the death of Mr
Multleniteir,, and by an editor whose character for ve
racity is too well known here to entitle him to any no
tice. Lately - we perceive this slander is republished
by whig papers and gravely commented upon as the
spxch of Mr Shunk. This may justifiy a passing no
tice of it..
We have convened with a number of Germans who
were present when Mr Shenk, on hiring called upon to
speak at the mass meeting of the Germans, made a
shott address to them in their native tongue.
We are assured by those who were present, and who
understood what he said, that Mr Shunk did not utter
or allude ton single sentiment'imputed to him by the
American. He triode nly a few remarks in which he
alluded to the oppressions which itrduced his Getman
fellow citizens to leave the land of their fathers and
emigrate to this asylum of the oppressed, where, under
tgrir own vino and fig tree they might enjoy the rights
which they derived from their Creator, unmolested
by
bad government; and without discussing the questions
which urn to be decided by the people at the next elec
tion, he urged his hearers to examine them fully arid
carefully, Monier that their decision might he made so
as to secure arid perpetuate the tights of all.
We have full authority from those who were present,
and heard and understood every word that Mr SHIli SIC
said, that thew hole ptiblication in the American is an
entire fabrication. No man can be found who was
present and understood what was said, who will not
confirm what we say.
It is forth° Whigs who prate about decency, to poly
bah the inventions of the editor of the American; for
the whole speech rests upon his authority, as a ground
of accusation against Mr Stress:.
VERNOST."—.Soma idea of the terror which pervadrs
the Whig ranks may be formed from the fact that the
Tribune heads its election returns from this State—
" Unconquered. Vermont!" What better evidence can
there be that they expected to lose Vermont, than
their gratulation becanse Vermont is "unconquered."
We have a few returns which show a small whig gain
over '43, when the whigs succeeded by some 10 or
:500 majority: We shallpublish the returns es.soon
as they, are complete. For thepresent, we will mere
ly say that the presentelectios will show a great gain
on 1840, and that the prophecies of the Whigs of 10
'and 12,000, &c., will be wofully falsified.

Tut FLAG SLAGGER.—We publish with plea
sure, the following card from the nfficers of the Vol
unteer Companies that were present during the cere—
mony of laying the corner stone of the German Church
in the Fifth Ward: •
TO THE PUBLIC.
"We have noticed for some days pest a charge made
by the editor of the "American" against FRANCIS R.
Sttuax, F.aq.,that, at the laying of the corner stone
of the German Catholic Church. in the Fifth Ward,
he had trampled on the American Flag, and had it
spread out fur the Priests and the Procession to walk
over it. A more absurd or unfounded charge could
not be made against any person, than this, that is now
urged against Mr Shenk for the purpose of injuring
him ir. the opinions of his fellow-citizens. We were
present during the whole of the ceremony of lacing
the corner atone, ae Commanders of the Military
Companies that were wit on the occasion. and we chn
state from our personal observation, that no such
proceeding look place as tkc trampling on the
American or any, otker Flag. There was no Na
tional Flag on the ground, one had any of the Velez'.
Leer Comm:take their flags with them, as it was deem
ed by us unnecessary to carry them on such en occa
sion. Nothing approaching in the most distant man
ner to what is charged upon Mr Shenk, took place
during the whole ceremony. and we regret moat
sin
cerely that any one should utter so unfounded a ca
lumny against a gentleman who is esteemed by all
who know him ae=on of our most worthy and patriotic
citizens.

Among the above names. we recognize some gen
tlemen who are prominent members of the witigpstr
ty, and by looking at the progrummeof the whig Con
vention, we see that Major lota and Capt SAHL, have
been appointed assistant Marshals foithe Grand Pro
cession. It cannot be supposed that either of these
gentlemen have any political sympathy with Mr Skunk,
or that they would volunteer a contradiction of the
calumny, if they did not know that it was one of the
most unfounded falsehoods that was ever uttered.
Wi may also state that a majority of the gentlemen
who sign the above card are members of Prides
tont Churches, and if any thing find taken place that
was offensive to their religious feelings, they would not;
of course. attach their names to a contradiction of the
charge. But they know, ns does every other man who
witnessed the ceremony, that nothing took place that
could give offence to any portion of the religious
community, and they have promptly refuted the
foul slander whit h was intended to operate upon the
minds of membersof their respective Churches.
The whig gentlemen who have signed the above
eard, have dune themselves great credit in the eyes of
the community. If they were as destitute of truth and
political honesty its the knaves who invented this slan
der again it Mr Shenk, they would let the lie take its
course. sod consent to bear the infamy of the act for
the advantage their petty might derive from such an
infamous calumny upon a citizen who is held in the
highest esti nation by honorable men of all parties.
But although they are witigs, they cannot countenance
such vile falsehoods us some of their leaders resort to
in their desperation, and they have refuted the slander
of Biddle, and rebuked those who keep him to commit
such nets of baseness, in a manner that reflects the
highest credit upon themselves.
If the whig leaders do not desire to participate in
the infamy of such falsehoods as appgared in the
Ameuiean against Mr SHUNX, they should have the
cards' signei by Major Iris find others, published
in setae of their journals that have a little regard for
truth will political decency. and publicly disclaim h v
ing taken any part in the concoction or circulation of
the slat-Ales.
TOR THE POST.
LOOKING OUT FOR A PLACE OF RETREAT.
On the 16th of February, 1843, Mr D N While, ed
itor of the Gazette, had a lung editorial from v. hick
tho following is an extract:
• •
"The wig piny is deeply infected with the spirit
of abolitionism—the orbit of equal right to all. It
is. like leaven, rapidly leavening the whole lump.
This is one of the reasons, and a strong one, wiry Mr
CLAY cannot be elected President by the Whigs. It
is useless to try to oppose the tendencies to freedom,
(Ind if the leaders persist in forcing Mr Cloy on
Ike pfiriy, it is ruined. It will be the last of the
This is n very clear and emphatic prediction. Mr
While their spoke out manfully and truthfull I he was
then well aware, as lie said on the 16th of Februarv,
that the "moral sense of the community was outrige4"
by pressing Mr Clay, and he only yielded to his nun
honest convictions when be declared that if the whig
leaders persisted in forcing Mr Clay on the party, it
is rained It will be the last of the Whig party."
Uunfortunately, however, for the whig party the
leaders bad some of them &elated five years ago, that
they would "rather be defeated with Clay don suc
ceed with any other man." sn they "forced him on the
party," and now even the blindest among them per
ceive that Mr White was n true prophet, and that the
stezt presidential election will be last of Whiggery.
Already are some of the shrewdest among them, such '
as Thomas Williams, preparing a place of retreat.
They have already organized a Native AM.?!ican as
sociation, but. have postponed further action, until
whiggety g i v es its last kick and is decently buried.
They wish to give ale old "critter" a fair chance for
its life, but seeing clean; that it cannot get through
mud with su ch a load of c!ay on its back, they are
ready to commence operations anew with some less
odious leader than "Harry of the West."
John Q. Adams once very emphatically remarked,
that the whig party was instinctively treacherous, and
that "treachery seas its vocation." How well illus
trated is this remark in the present, conduct of our
Pittsburgh whigs ! Perceiving that ir White's pre
diction is rapidly approaching, Mr Williams, Mr Cor
dell, and several whig masons and their tools set to
work to prepare an asylum, a kind of orphan asylum
for bereaved whip, and take special cure to place its
management almost exclosively in the hands of whigs,
resenting to the antimasons just enorigh o ficestu show
that they are not utterly proscribed. This, too, is done
in Allegheny county, where antimusonry under its old
and fearless leaders was once so powerful and triumph
ant.
