FLAG SLANDiR.— Since Major I'M, Copt SARI. and other whig*, re futed the first slander uttered against Mr Strunk by the whig presses of tide city, they have not dated to repent it in their editorial columns, or to send it forth under ihr name of any responsible citizen. But they have persuaded a pour, prejudiced old man of the name of Caskey, to certify to what no other per son in their party—not even the editors of the Gaz ette or American—will now dare to assert; but by styling him a matt of wealth, they expect the public to give credence to a falsehood that has already been put down by the testimony of members of the whig party, whose veracity they dare not question, and whose opportunities of seeing all that took place were much better than that of Joseph Cuskey, perched ns he says he was, on Grant's Hill. In Caskey's rantpment, there arc three palpable falsehoods. which may not have been known to the old man, b t which were, we have no doubt, to those who prepared his statement. It is false that Cuskey saw the host carried in the procession; it is false that he saw a Bishop in the procession; it is false that IS raw an Amerkan Flag carried by the military. These tire three important statements made in the charge lof these slanderers, that are kilos it to be false by every man whose habits have not rendered him incapable of taking correct notice of every thing. We defy them to get any other man titan Joseph Caskey, to certify to the statements set forth in the card signed by him, as we do not believe there is another man in this county who would permit such men as Biddle and White to persuade them to certify that they had seen things that did sot exist. The double sight with which some people are occasionally ttoubled, is the only apology that can be given for Mr Caskey's ex tranrdi wary condoct; if he does not avail himself of this excuse, the public can'alone infer that he has .wrtified to statements that he knew to be false, or that. blind ' ed by his prejudice*. he has permitted the unprincipled membeveof his party to persuade him manna which I should justly call down upon him the scorn and indig nation of all honorable men '."7 The whole force of the Whig party WS6 concen trated in yesterday's Gazette, to prove that Mr Shnnk was opposed to reeding the Bible in Common Schools. This falsehood is repeated in almost every column, and in utmost every variety of expression that could suggest itself to the minds of those unptincipled slan derers This they do, notwithstanding Mr Shuck de clares in the most unqualified terms that be is "friend ly to the fire of the Bible in Common Schools" and his whole life as a private citizen and all his acts as a public tinker attest his veneration for the sacred volume. {Wicked and false as is the manner in which the Whig leaders ore attempting to injure Mr Shuuk, it is not to be compared in bareness to the means ly which th•'y gained the information on which the charge is (*.tended. We are told that it is made on the strength of a conversation that is said to have taken piece at the table of a whig gentleman of this city, and we observe by the Gazette of yesterday that this gentleman is referred to as one of the witnesses to substantiate the charge. We cannot believe that be , authorized the editor of the Gazette to retail the casual I remarks made by gentlemen while enjoying the bospi• tality of his table. Such a mode of electioneering has never been resorted to heretofore, and there are but few who would not revolt at such a gross violation of social honor. Mr McClure owes it to himself to cons pel those who carried the tale to the Gazette to inform the public how they obtained a knowledge of Mr Shunk's remarks, anal to exonerate him from retailing the conversation °lbis guests. He certainly can have no desire to enjoy the unenviable reputation of such conduct, ner is he bound to shield from public indigna tion those who have used his name to give credibility to a slander upon his friend. If the observations of those who dine at his house are to be discussed in the public prints, and perverfml for the purpose of serving the ends of such men as 'Biddle and White, it would be well for him to let the public know that it is not done with his consent, and to expose those who have plated him in such a very questionable position before the community. DEMOCRATS! ARE YOU 1.21131111111:11.10 I !

MF" The Whig papers thature engaged in the hono rable business of relating the conversation of Mr Shunk at the table of a gentleman, where he was invited to dine, refer to Wit.t.ram B. M'CLests, Esq., as one of their witnesses to prove the charge. Thu public do not believe t hut Mr. M'Clure authorized them to make such reference, nor can it get full credit until that gentleman gibes some personal assurance that his name is used with his permission. . .

DEMOCRATIC MEETING IN THE STH IVARD. The Democrats of the Fifth Ward and adjoining dis tricts, assembled in their strength on Thursday even ing last. (the regular night of meeting, of the Demo cratic Association, and the sth Ward Tariff Club,) , fur the purpose of making arrangements for the ap prneching Grand Democratic MUSS Convention. Wm. , Wilson, President, in the Chair, and in the absbnce of the Secretary, James Blakely was appointed Secreta ry pro tem. Thecommittees of arrangement, and of finance, having made their reports, the same was ac cepted. And on motion,the committees was continued. The meeting appointed the following persons to act as Marshals, Messrs Wm Wilson, Fredetic Yost, Samuel Richards, Andrew M'Jlwain, James Blakely, John Hamilton and Tilly Putter—and at the suggestion of a large number of those who composed the meseting, Messrs Andrew Scott and TbomasNewel, was added in the number. David Green, Joseph Phillips, and David Steinbaugh, was appointed Flag Barer., and E F Kremer, John S Hamilton, and Thomas Barnes, Banner Bearers. The following Resolutions WAS then offered and ac cepted. Resolved. That the Sashes worn by the Marshals, shall be pink colour. Resolved, That this meeting will not participate in the c mtemplatecl night procession. The above reso lution being, on motion, reconsidered: The following was adopted. Resolved, That the representatives of this Ward, in the Committee of Arrangements, convey to the Committee, the sentiments of this Ward, and also rx.- ert thew influence against a night procession. Thefollowing resolution offered by Mr Tilly Potter, was unanimously adopted. Resolved, That every member of this meeting, not only pledges himself to attend the Grand Mass ' t Convention—but that he will use all exertious to in duce his neighbor to come along. The meeting was then ably addressed by Messrs Andrew Mcllwain, and KE• Phillips. The Glee Club being introduced, sang some of their popular melodies and added much to the pleasure and gratifi cation of the meeting. Andrew Burk, Esq ,addrtesed the meeting for about two hours in a most instructing antreffective speech, in which he clearly demonstrated, that the Tariff act of 1842 was not only sustained by a large portion of the Democratic members in Congress but that a great portion of the leading whig members opposed it in all its bearings and that the darling object of the whig party was not R tariff but a National Bank, and that the hatred shown by the whist; to the a dministration of President Tyler WAS solely on account of his firm aess in refusing to saddle on the people of the United States another National Monster. - The large assem blage adjourned until Monday evening next. after gi ving three tremendous cheers for Polk, Dallas and Shrink, WM.

ACCIDENT TO THE BRILLIANT AND DRY The fine steambnat Brilliant, Capt Harr, sustained a 'revere accident night before last. She had been ta ken across the river and raised for repairs upon the of Messrs Bailey & Macy. nine fort nave the bottom of the dock. During-the night the block gave way she fell with a tremendous crash, breaking down her guards and chimney, and destroying her cals. in furniture. It is hoped, however, that her bottom is not severely injured. Tim dry-dock will narrowly escape ruin, an severe was the shack. At our last accounts it was still under the steamboat, with its sides sprung open and leaking rapidly. Male than a hundred men and the Native American iire Company from this city were yester day pumping nut the beat, but they gained but little nn the water, which more than half filled her,.. Both to the owners of the Brilliant and the dry dock the loss will be heavy, an I most gene: ally regrettel by our cit. inns. Since writing the above we learn that three other engines from the city,Not. 2, 6 and 17, have been at work pumping out the water. For some hours they appear d to gain but little upon it, although all the steam power of the dry dock was applied to the same er.d. But at 9 o'clock last night they had succeeded in reducing the water in the Brilliant from five feet to fifteen inches. Her bottom is more injured than was at first supposed. The utmost credit is awarded to No 16 (the Native American engine) for her services in keeping the deck afloat. To give our readers an idea of the loss, vrlt may state that the Brilliant cost $35- 000. and the dry duck $53,000. The great difficulty appears to he to goat the Brilliant out of the dock. In the fall she broke in the bottom of the dock, and racked herself in such a manner, that it will be with extreme difficulty that they will be kept afloat. Two towboats were alongside, aiding by hawsers and chains to keep the dock up and to give any other assistance in their power. P. S. At 12 o'clock last night the engines had suc ceeded in clearing the Brilliant, when it was found she had but one hole in her hull It was thoiight she could ho removed.—Picaynne, Sept 5 Insportena Arrest.—We have a little later news from Nauvoo.
