[Clay's Speech at Raleigh.
"AGRICULTURE NEEDS NO PROTECTION."
(Henry Clay.
From the Satteranak Republican, a leading Clay
paper in Georgia.
"WE DENY THAT MR CLAY. OR THE
WHIGS OF GEORGIA, WHOSE CANDIDATE
RE IS. SEEK FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF
II PROTECTIVE TARIFF, BUT MR. CLAY
ADHERES TO THE PRINCIPLES OF THE
COMPROMISE ACT."
WHY DID THEY FURGET THE TARIFFI—The
New York Tribune endeavors to confute the charge
that the whigs avowed "no principles for the public
eye" in 1840. or course it fails must signally in the
attempt, but the effort is worth noticing us giving avi•
deuce of the strongest kind, that, with the , s pigs, this
clamor about the Tariff of 1812 is nothing but sheer
and scandalous deception. The Minim ,:ays that the
"Lug Cabin," a leading whig paper in 184), published
a summary of priticip'o3, which we copy, and alleges
that this summary was adopted by the whigs of the
whole country. Here it is :
"PRINCIPLES Or THCWHIGS ♦SD CONSIMVATIVC3
1. One Presidential Term. No Prebitlent re
eiseted while its office ;
2. A Retrenchment of the Patronage and Power
of at Federal Executive:
2. No intermeddlinse of Officers of the Federal
Goveinintat in tie Elections of Me States and Peo
ple.
4. Rotationin Office.
5 • A Soind,SVcient and I.7x!ronm Cram:lw Y,
Alike for the Government and People.
6. No Sub-Treasury No Exaction and Hoard
ing of Specie by the Government."
Now the editor of the Tribune alleges that the
"Log Cabin" circulated 80,000 copies, and thnt this
summary of principles was set forth to at least half a
million of reader+. Very well.—we will admit for
argument's sake that this summary contained all the
principles of the whir party in 1840! Door dons it
happen that they forget to mention the Tariff Had
twy no apinions on the Told' then—or did they con
aiderthe Compromise ACt as the permanent and set
tled Policy of the country, the disturbance of which
was not tobe mentioned T When we read Mr. CLAY'S
repeated declarations, going to show that be consider
ed the Compromise as a sacred compact, to which he
hadalway; adher ecl and promised to adhere "in future."
who can doubt that the Tariff question was considered
by,ltlr. Clay and his ft iend r forever settled by the
Compromise Act ?
Remember, the Tribune does not style its program
me a =moray of measures to be adopted by the whig
party, bat a summary of principles. They might
hate started new measures—there would have been
nothing strange in that—but how does it happen that
they entirely overlook an important principle which
has been a subject of animated discussion in this eoun.
try ever since we were a nation? Perhaps no subject
of political interest has caused so much angry &tacos
sion in Congress as the question of a Tariff. It had
divided the country again end again--..and once had
well nigh produced a civil war or Dissolution of the
Union—yet, in an important contest, when the editcr
of the Tribune sat down to the solemn business of pre
paring a Summary of Principles to, carry his party
through,a great canvass—he forgot the Tariff altogeth.
or, and throughout the length and breadth of this coun
try, there was uo whig orator, no whig editor. no whig
convention, who thought proper to supply the impor
tant o mission.
We leave the candid of all parties to decide whether
there can be any sincerity in the very clamorous ad
vocacy nrliclx the Tribune and some of its kindred
presses now evince for the Tariff of 1842. In 1840,
with power evidently within their grasp, they submit
ted a programme of principles from which the Tariff
is wholly excluded. In 1841 and '42, with power in
their possession, they made po mos-ement to modify
the Tariff, though the tables of Congress groaned un
der the weight of petitions praying fur the repeal of
the Cirpromise, and though the-necessities of the
TreasttrY loudly callasLforvome legislation by which
more revenue could be rtiised frourimports. .
On the other hand, though no :singleiputition • was
presented for either object, they passed Baalt Charters
and repealed the Sub•Treasury.s--But theyrefrained
from touching the Tariff as if it had bren a nauseous
er dangerous thing. Agnin we ask the question, why
itid the whiga forget the Foriff in 18401
RECEPTIO% of DKLEUATES.—Wc can assure Our
friends abroad this ample arrangements are made
fur hest reception and enter:ailment during the set

—while, in the same towns the Whig vote has fallen of
immensely—...one 7000 cotes.
The majnnity of the whig candidates for Congress
last• year in tha whale State was 1418.—now their ma
jority is but 1291,--showing a gain for the Demo
crats since 1843. Here is another whig victory.
'WHICKLIKO WILL Br TROY: TO VIER BERETACTOIt.'
This is a part of the inscription on one of the banners
borne by the Wheeling delegation to the late Coon
convention in this city. Could any thing be betteiCal
colleted to insult those who bold the-Interests of Pitts
burgh near their hearts, and take pride in her prosper
ity/ It is true that Henry Clay hoe been 'a "benefac
tor" of Wheeling. He has labored for her advance
ment to the sacrifice of the interests of the country,
and most especially to the injury of Pittsburgh. He
procured the location of the National Ruad through
Wheeling, abbe' there is not, and cannot be a bridge a
cross the Ohio River at that place, and the passage must
necessarilyin the winterse•anon, be seriously obstructed
by ice. He labored, if we mistake not, fur the loca
tion of the Marine Hospital at Wheeling. And to
crown the sum of his service.' to that village, he as
sent as a solemn argument against Pittsburgh, that
her river is "frozen one half the year and dry the oth
er."
Well, indeed, may the Wheeling people call Clay
their "benefactor." Let them evince their gratitude
for his great services to their town. But we do
object to the people of Wheeling marching through
Pittsburgh, flapping in our taws banners calculated
to recall how deeply and constantly Clay has insulted
Pittsburgh, and served Wheeling at our expense
larThe first charge madeAlainst MrShiusk by the
hired slanderers of the whigs, having been put dewrs by
the certificates of leading men of their own party, they
have changed the ground of attack, and the head and
flunt of their accusation now is, that Mr Shunk waa
present at the laying of the corner stone, and walked
in the procession. The first charge was, that he had
caused the American Flag to be sptcad out for the
Priests to walk over, and that lie had trampled upon
himself. They said they were prepared to prove it it
it was denied: It was denied by some of the leading
men of the Whig party, who stated in the most positive
manner that no flog of. any description was nn the
ground; thus showing that the charge was totally false,
and unsustained by the slightest truth. These hied
knaves have not had the honesty to notice the contra
dietionuf their falsehood, but they have abandoned the
flag story, and are now arduously engaged in proving
what nobody denies—that Mr Shook was present, with
hundreds of other citizens of all denominations, at the
laying of the corner stone of the German Church. If
it was a crime to be there, those who are now denoun
cing Mr Shunk have been very remiss in. the pereorm
ance of theirduty, to permit him to escape so lung, and
the bausdrof -patriots (some of whom have occasionally
the gift of seeing double) who now give certificates to
prove that Mt Shunk was present, will scarcely be able
to •^onviuce the public that it is zeal in the cause of reli
gion that induce; them to become the tools of such crea
tures us White and Biddle.
Mr. Shank's Jicceptanc4.
The fallowing is the correspondence betw,en Mr
SHUNS, and the committee appointed to apprise him
of hi• nomination for Governor. The letter of Mr
SHUSH does honor to him, and adds another to many
evidences that he is a pine and honest man, and a poli.
tician of the soundest and most comprehensive views'
The perusal of his letter will fill the heart of every
Democrat with pride and pleasure, and cause his cheek
to glow with the warm consciousness that our candi
date, for capacity, for honesty, and for true republican
ism, is worthy of all the efforts that can be made to
secure his election. Although no triumph ever pro
mised to be mere easy of achievement, none that our
party has ever pined will be more solid and substan
tial than the election of FRANCIS R SHUSH. Coming
from the bosom of the mass, he know* their want■
and condition; and the impulses of his kind and gee.
erous heart will respond to every move:siert that will
lessen their burdens. add to their intelligence and cow.
fort, or promote their welfare in any way.
No man knew. better than Mr SRC, K ig the high re.
sponsibiliiies of the station he will be called on to fill;
and no man on earth would be more inapproachable
by the arts of intrigue and corruption.
Whoever gives a vote for FRANCIS R SHUNK, can
repose under the comfortable assurance 'bat he has
contti'luted to the election of as honest, as capable,
and as good a man 115 ever was elected to public office

riTTSBURGII, Sept 1 10, 1844
Geinemten:—l have received your communication
informing me that I was nominated, in Convention on
the 2d inst., as the Democratic candidate for the office
of Governorof Pennsylvania.
By the nontination of Mr Muhlenberg, the hopes
and confidence of the Democratic patty of the State
were concentrated in him: his unexpected and lament
ed death has forced the party to seek another citizen,
as his successor. The Convention has been pleased,
with unexampled unanimity, to select me for this pur
pose; in accepting the nomination, I most sincerely
and highly appreciate thedistinguirbed honor confer
red upon.ele, while, at the same time, Ikel the un
pleasantness of thepositients which am thus placssl
and fie heavyresponsibtlities of the station, to which
~.
'~~~'-.
;.~,~,
the Dear of iba State wo(diVtild
pleasantness sf me positiorr is seen it
my private and public character hes
eed upon the public table for dissection, and assailed
with no ordinary degree of virulence. To escape ca
lumny, I cannot hope, but 1 trust that a life nut alto
gether unknown; will shield my reputation, and be the
criterion by which it shall be judged.
I have always esteemed it in honor to be connected
with the Democratic party, and to aid in carrying out
its principles. Ours is a noble cause in s events.
We are arrayed now, as we always have been, not
for the advancement of particular men to power.
but fer the support of the gnat doctrine of equal
rights. .
Owing
_to the intimate cc:me:ion d this domains
with the_ politics of the general. u well " the
State Governments, and from the necessary ioduents
of each upon the other. the leading reettifitis and
principles, both of parties and candidates, •to with
propriety 4iicussed and examined in all ow pedipi
contests, whether relating to the Sate or Union.
As a party, we believe that the less man's manna
energies and talents are interfered with by law. the
better, excepting only when this interfisrente is nediati
sary for social order. We would have no legislation in
favor of particuktrclassan tot e would givete everyeitissa
an equal chance in the conflicts of Ilk by abstaining
as much as possible, from all governmental marmites
upon the freedom of action, and front all governmental
contrivances, that can be beneficial only to particular
portions or classes of society. We believe in the com
petency of man for selfgovernment, and that every
citizen, of competent age, has a right to a voice in giv
ing direction to the course of government, even though
his judgment be not purified and enlightened by the
possession of landed estates. We believe that kinks
as heretofure organized arid conducted have been inju
rious to the farmers, mechanics and manufacturers
and all the laboring classes of society,, including the
great mass of their customers, by reason of the -exer
cise of their unlimited power in inflating and depres
sing the currency, and that the evil ought to be cured
by a removal of its cense.
A subject of great interest in Pennsylvania, is the
credit of the State, which has been shaken in no or
dinary deities. lts speedy restoration to full vigor
cannot be doubted, when we consider the agricultural,
commercial, manufacturing and mineral wealth of the
Commonwealth. The morel and }physical force of our
people, their skill, intelligence and virtue, will never
yield, until all demands upon the honor an d faith of Ibe
State are redeemed. A republican government, right
ly administered, reflects the character of the people,
and the citizens of Pennsylvania will exert their ener
gy and power, to place this beloved Commonwealth in
that elevated position for faith and credit, which distin
guishes them es individuals. They reject the political
heresy, which is tolerated in corporations, that there is
a difference between the obligations of individuala,and
of associated individuals to pay theirjust debt..
By the discussion of the Tariff two polots appear to
be settled, at least in the view of the Democratic party.
First, that nor true policy is. to lay hs foundations in
reason and justice, to secure it permanency, and not
in party feelings to make it fluctuating.—And second
ly, that the revenue required for an economical admin
istration of the general Government, and no more.
should be drawn lions duties or, foreign import*: and
in adjusting the details of these duties, di.crimination
should be made for cherishing and encouraging all
branches of domestic industry. To increase these du
ties beyond the permanent wants of the Government,
involves a right to collect money fur other purposes
I j
than those for which the people adopted the Constitu
tion of, the United States. Fur. in order completely
to secure and protect the principles of equality above
spoken of, wo contend for the 'aeon-loess of the rule
of construction, fixed in the Constitution itself. that
the powers net deleg ated to the United States by the
Constitution, nor pro hibited by it to the States, are
reserved to the States respecively, or to the people.
To raise by taxation, titbit( for tho purpose of inter
nal improvement, or for distribution, more money than
is r.uvaired fir tho ca-tensor of the G•erernment, would
h-rye a diro.a tend nay t establish a great central
power, deriving its force and influence from the annual
appropriation of large sums of money. Thus, the
G,neral Government would become the almoner of
the States. or of the people of the States; and instead
of adhering to the simple principles of Goverrwrent
introduced by Jefferson, and guing onward in the
march of freedom,we should retrogede, and adopt the
mostudious feature of llritish policy, that of ruling
the people bythe power of money, which they them-' ,
salves are made to furnish.
The virtue, libert), and independence of our belov
ed country, the permanency of our free institutions,
and the happiness of the people, depend upon a strict
and rigid isilhetenee to the Constitution, and dernect atte
usages, upon a faithful and honest administration of
the Lnw: a cheerful submission to its requinements,and
a sacred regard for the rights of preperty, and fur the
inviolability of contracts public and private.
Witk these views and sentiments, 1 remain gentle
men yours, very respectfully,
FRANCIS R SHENK.

nr We publish with pleasure the following letter
from Mr thrums. Many of his friends will no doubt
think that in noticing the unfounded eliarge,he is treat
ing the hired slanderers with to much consideration.
But perhaps it is better that he should for a moment
stoop to notice them, and by a candid statement crush
the slander on which his enemies build the hope to in
jure him with his fellow citizens. If the improbable
falsehood has obtained any credence with the respec
table portion of the community, the following freak
and manly letter will correct its evil effects, and show
how unfounded is the charge that Mr Shank was in
laver of expelling the Bible from the Common School
,PITTSBURGH, Sept 12, 1844
Altura Phillips 4. Smith:
Gentlemen:—The opposition papers ore crowding
accusations against me. The Pittsburgh Gazette now
says that I am hostile to the use of the Bible in Com
mon Schools, and the conclusion the editor draws, i s , I
am told, for t have no: seen his sheet, that I am an
enemy to the Bible itself.
The truth is that I am friendly to the use of the
Bible in Common Schools, and among my first acts,
after I was elected a School Director in Herrisbureh in
1837 or 1838. I proposed that the Bible should be
read in the schoohr of our ward, which wes agreed to
by the Board. Ido not know whether a record of this
proceeding was kept; but I am certain Dr Fager the
Secretary, and the other members of the Board, who
were present remember it.
In conversation I have no doubt said, because it ii
my opinion, that in Schools where the parents of the
children differ with regard to the use of the Bible as
a School book, it is well, rather than make that billy
book an occasion of unholy stele, nut to insist upon its
use for this purpose. For the religious education of
children belongs to their parents and their Sabbath
School instructors, and is not in common entrusted to
the Seho dmasters,whose Scholars generally belong to
various denominations. There are many good men
who conscientiously believe that it is improper to use
the Bible for the purpose of teaching children to read,
because, it may be calculated to lessen their reverence
fur th^• Sacred Volume. Now, although this is not my
opinion, yet I cheerfully accoddgo others their right
to inter (roes me, and I do not Mink that this differ
ence of opinion should Se made to disturb the harmony
of a School, fur our Common School System of educa
tion depends mainly fur success upon the united of
of the people of the several districts. This opin
ion I have always freely expressed. It is now made
the groundwork of a bitter accusation against me, It
is to be regretted that one who has, by his whole life
and conversation reverenced the holy Scriptures, who
in the good old way was at School advanced from
worth's Spelling book to reading in the. Testament,
and then took rank with the head class by main in
the Bible, should be arraigned before the public as art
enemy to, or 'hewing any the remotest disrespect for.
the Sacred Volume, became be respects the opinions
of those who believe that other books should be used
is teach ehildren the sat of reading.
I am. yours, respectfully,
FRS. R. SHUNIC.

The time is fastlapproaching when, as freemen, we
shall again be called upon to elect a Chief Magistrate
to preside over this nation. And we are well aware
that upon the success of the democratic party depends
the perpetuation of this Union, as well as constitution
al liberty. It is not a little alarming to contemplate
the existing state of straits in regard to one of the
two great political parties engaged in the present con
test. We see them uniting with a fanatical faction,
whose sole object is the subversion of constitutional
privileges, who hold their origin in the city of New
York, and who, together with their whig allies, arc
endeavoring to deprive a large and respectable portion
of our fellow citizens of the right of suffrage, and that
on account of their religious opinions. We see at the
same time an important whig Senator boldly proclaim.
ing that if the whigs get int., power they will revive
John Adams' alien late. We see them countenancing
and abetting the sacrilegious and demon church burn
ers of Philadelphia. We see them with a vacillating
demagogue as their candidate—a trickster, who last
winter wished to adhere to the Compromise, as per
letter to Mr. Bronson; and now he Is in favor of the
Tariff of 1842, as per letter to Mr. Cola; last spring
he wee opposed to the annexation of Texas. and now
he is in favor of Annexation.—ln short, he is all things
to all teen, in order that ho may gain some. There
fore,
Resolved, That all who hold their origin in a foreign
clime, and who do not wish to lose their citizenship,
had better give this matter a calm consideration be.
fore voting for the demagogue Clay.
Resolved, Thnt all who are oppoi.ed to the re.
newel of John Adams' ninon and sedition laws, and
opposed to a total subversion of constitutional liber
ty, are requested to vote for JAMES K POLK.
Resolved, That any person whether cler,:y or oth
erwise, who shall attempt by his influence or actions
to deprive any portion of this community of nny of
their constitutional privileges on account of religious
opinions is unworthy the name of christian, or chum:-
