•'WE DENY THAT MR CLAY, OR THE
WHIGS OF GEORGIA, WHOSE CANDIDATE
HE IS, SEEK FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF
A PROTECTIVE TARIFF. BUT MR. CLAY
ADHERES TO THE PRINCIPLES OF THE
COMPROMISE ACT."
THI E►►CTS OF THE SLANDER.—Tho chief object
and hope of the Whigs in propagating the "Flag slan
der" against Mr SIMS X, and the mean ntul disreputa
ble He concerning his views on the use of the Bible is
public schools, was not to injure him hem, or in tiny
part of the State where ha is well known, but fur the
purpose of awakening the prejudices of the Native
Amencan party in Philadelphia. Great calculations
were made on the effects the " F la g " and "Bible in
Schools" slanders would have in those portions of the
State where Native Americanism he any adherents.
ft will be seen, by the suhjcined resolution, that
another crutch has been knocked from the decrepid
fis:Ofmiserable, tottering whiggery; all we are afraid
of is thatit will not be able to keep its fret until the
election, when the Democrats w;11 finish its prostration
and will have its loathsome carcase drugged out and
buried deep in some miry plaice:
"At amass meeting of the Native American party
6f New Market, Cedar, Lot ust and Pine Wards, bold
on Saturday evening. the sul t ioined proper resolution
was unanimously passed.
Resolved, That the Native American party neither
recognise nor endorse as true, the charges bright
against the Democratic candidate for Governor, in re
lation to an alleged speech made by him in Pittsburgh,
as published; that we desire every Atnericaa•Repuoli
ean to vote for such candidate for Governor n nil PreA
dent as be please. we us a party, endorse no elandtr
against any man."
Of course, as the flag and bible slanders stand
on the same basis as the other slanders, and as it has
been as effectually disproved as that concerning the
speech, the Native Americans, no doubt, will include
them in the same category, and denounce them all.
It will be encouraging to the authors of the oft-refu •
ted and most atrocious slanderabout the speech. that the
'Native Americans of Philadelphia, who, it was thought,
would be gulled into voting against Sit u Ng, by the foul
Me they fabricated, will nut "recognize" their charges
nor "endorse" them as true.
Such are encouraging signs of the times, and should
'be rrgatded a s h a ppy omens by the band of squatters
and slanderers who control the opposition, and direct
:the threes of the whig party in this county.
'HINTS To GUESTS.—As the wilig,s luck election
eering matter fur this compaign, very much, it is pos.
silk that they may wish to extend the system of ob
taining political capital already practised in the
case of Mr. SHUNIC. It would be prudent, then, fur
democrats who find themselves invited to dine with.
.a wlig, to enter the dining.room warily, looking ,
*limply round for a l cenliut bleed of "rats," which
infest such places. Sume of them may be known by
their large whiskers, others by their uniform, like
Ana of Dandy Jack in the Circus, a blue coat and
bright buttons. The party entertained may often fan
cy himself in a quiet, cheerful place, with none to

Allethal Express, a little whig sheet in eur
sister city, announre. .1 yesterday that it was a "pee
ceatt"--a very aggrivaubd cam of suspended anima
thin. The Egret, during its *hurt existence, at
tempted to emulate the American and Gazette in their
course of falsehood and low abuse of the democratic
party. Bat although it labored with much assi
duity to misrepresent and defame, it failed to acquire
sufficient patronage to maintain itself. The fact is,
the whip haves surfeit of blackruardism and false
hood in their regular organs, and they have not saffi•
cient appetite to swallow the additional doses that are
served up by the little pirate sheets.
The death of the poor little.Express,is a gloomy o.
men for the whig cause. It shows that. the party is
giving up all hope, and that those who wish to make
themselves prominent M the Clay cause, with the ex
pectation that they would be permitted to catch some
of the of drippings if their party succeeded, are
givingur their eft*. iris, under the cmvitttien, no doubt,
them is of no use for then to struggle any long 3r in
such a hopoless cause. The Convention of Thursday
opened Cie eyes °film poor coons amazingly, and show
ed them what folly it is to struggle against the will of
the people.
"The can of the procession went on the pound;
then. for the space of half an hour, no more came; but
daring that period the tragons and carriages drove
back and joined ate fail of like procession. This
feat was peiformed twice."—Gazette.
This is in ch." Gazette's notice of the Detnocratic
procesaion. We here pronounce it, a most wil
ful and deliberate falsehood. and defy the' Gazette to
substantiate it by respectable witnesses. Some per
sons, the Gazette sals, who were "viewing the rear
of the procession, saw parts of it pass twice." We
know of but one Whig who could be got to certify to
this, and that is Mr. Caskey. He has not the gift of
"I ( econd sight," but he is gifted with double sight, and
if Ise has "specs" on it is said be can look through a
stone fence.
attempt of the Gazette to depreciate the pow
er and to lessen the numbers of our Convention, are
futile?? as they are pitiable. We shall not trouble our
selves to notice it at large. But we shall insist on the
Deeeon's ',roving how many wagons came on to the
gikund, and then "drove back and joined the tail of
tie procession." We most know, too, whether the
aforesaid wagons were full both trips, and whether
they kit their loads of people on the ground the first
ime.
How WAS ITl—The Grazette'A story that the detno
erotic procession was made to appear long by making
it puss the'satne place several times, would do if any
could be found green enough to believe it. But then,
the Gazette has not explained how the procession,
when it met on the ground, was so immensely large.
No democratic stratagem could cover the immense
space occupied by the Convention with people, unless
they - wcre there. The Gazette says the wagons were
running around thr o ugh the sheets, all the time, yet
the mass kept pouring on to the ground, in immense
numbers. How did this come, lovely Deacon
"But we want to know Inim dot editors of the Post
if they are in favor of the Tariff or 18%2. %Ve ern in
formed they are not. Will they give us a direct an
swcr."—Gazelle.
Of coor4e we will, Deacon, we never answer any
other way than direct. We are in favor of the Tariff
of NO, and prefer it infinitely to the Conspnmsise
Act which Mr. Clay implored Coogreos to "preserve
inviolate."
We have given our neighbor a' direct answer:" wo
now ask him, on the principle that "one good turn de
serves amber," to "reciprocate," and give answers
to the following questions:
Did Henry Clay "throttle the Tariff," as chaired
by you?
"Did be "put tie knife to the throat of protection,
and ask help to d dri we it h ono," as charred by yen
Is be "immoral and profane," as charged by you
Is lien "tiehanchee," 114 Chilled by you
Has kit name "always beta an omen of defect to
the whig party," as you asserted ?
Will his name "work the complete ruin of the,iwhig
part)?"
Do you still believe that the "workings of trout and
morality upon the minds of the people" will defeat
Henry Clay?
‘Vasit the workings of truth and morality upon
your mind that induced you to embiace the golden
opinions of the fifteen whip and abandon your oppo.
sition to Clay?
We mac you to give direct answers to these questions,
and by so doing you will satisfy tha curiosity of many
of your own party who are heartily sick of you and
your advocacy of the whig cause.
al' An attempt was made to break Baltimore jail
on Ft iday. Mr. Tor ray, who is in prison on the charge
of having aided slaves in Virginia and Maryland to

The Newly.** Teses.—The Neer W : '': i ceet
of the 4th ins,ptu another fate on the news from
Tease lwbilsitedyeaterday. heap: We learn that
Mr Corr, the Inestsener, [said to hare brought news
of the Mexican invasion of Texas,] was employed
by Mr Newell, who is the acting United States Consul
at Gaireaton, to bring despatches to be forwarded to
our Government at Washington, which were under
stood to refer solely to the state of affisirs consequent
on the deartisf Gen Howard and the Consul at Gal
veston, We learn further that Mr Carded not being
olrioialdespurcheit for the English urFrench Ministers,
but only some letters from private individuals. We al
so learn that MrCorr knows nothing about the 10,000
men reported to be at the Rio Grande. The first in
timation he had of their being there be tsasseen in the
New Odeon/ papers."
The Cotton Crop—lmmense Datruction.—T6
Opelousas Gazette of the 4th inst., says, "The Cater.
pillars have at length made their appearance in our
neighborhood, and are consusittieg. &malel ravages
upon the cotton fields. We cannot make any accur
ate estimates of the damage, but suppose it will not
fall short of one third." The Attakapas Gazette says
—"The army-worm has made its appearance in a
number of cotton fields of this Parish, which they are
ravishing at a great nee. In the course of a few days
we much feat the whole country will be invaded by
them." And at Charleston, a house has received a
letter from its correspondent in Beaufort, informing
them that caterpillars have made their appearance in
two cotton fields un Paris' Island, near Beaufort, and
that they are the real cotton caterpillars. These are
facts of immense importance, and if true to the extent
stated, will have a marked effect en the business rela
tions of the country. On our cotton, mote than on ev
ery other product. dims the nation rely fer restoring
tho balance of trade tr)w so decidedly against us. It
is, however, to be hoped that the ravages of the worm
will be found less disastrous than is above set down.
Shocking ilfstrrier.—The Alton Telegraph contains
the particulars of a shocking and atrocious murder,
committed in Greenfield township, seen miles from
Alton, Illinois. on the 4th inst. The murderer was a
German, in good circumstances, mimed Adam Feu
feld, and the victims were Frederick Heituiebe. (his
brother-in-law) Christina, his wife. MA Selina. his
daughter. 1 - leinriche was murdered in a field where
they had been at work together. He was found with
his head toadied to peices, evidently with a flail han
dle. Hir wife and child, a girl of about 12 years or
age, were found in the cellar of his house, stabbed
with a knife. Those acquainted with the parties, im
agine that Feufeld had discovered an improper intima
cy, real or supposed, existing between his wife and
her own brother; and that, stung to madness, he com
mitted the fearful crime of putting to (leach his own
wife and child, and his wife's brother.
Carious Ajair--the Dead Aline.—Yesterday. says
the New Orleans Crescent, an individual named Fred
erick Cubicle, was brought before Recorder Genois
for final examination; (be had been arrested some time
previously) on the charge of extensively embezzling
certain property belonging to a tailor named Soudinos.
It appeals that Soudinoe, a Spaniard, keeping a tailor
ing eslabbabment at the comer of Royal and St Phil
lip streets, about 15 months ago being in an infirm
state, made some preliminary arrangements to take
into partnership this same Cubicke. a German, intend
ing to travel in search of health. In effect, be quitted
New Orleans fur the West Indies, leaving Cubicke in
charge of his store. but without executing any deed of
association. Cubicke not hearing of him for four
months after his departure, concluded he was dead,
announced that he had been drowned, and sold and
applied to his own purposes the property in the store.
So linos, in the lapse of time, turns up again, an
right, communicates with his friends here, and finally,
about three weeks or a month ago, re-appears in New
Orleans, to the great dismay of Cubicke and to the
surprise of those who had thought him dead. The
shop, however, was then a desert, enclosed by foul
walls, there was nothing to indicate a tailor plied his
nimble occupation there, and Cubicke was in a diffr
ent locale. Under these circumstances, he gets Cu
bicke arrested, aml charges hint with swindling. Cu
hackle masas he was Soudinct's partner. His am
or sent the prisoner to the Criminal Court, admitting
him to bail in the sum of t2OOO.
A BaNk Ticket Threstrlovel.—As was generally
anticipated, Millard Fillmore has received the federal
nomination for Governor. His devotion to the inter
ests of the United States Bunk, during its famous nal
upon the government, has thus entitled him toe nom
ination from the Clay Bank party. The composition
of the whig ticket is worth remarking.
lat. Mr Clay is the Embodiment of United States
Benkism.
2nd. Mt Frelingleuysen is a noted devotee of Mr.
Biddle's Banking. Since, in the United States Sen
ate Chamber, hepronounced that faninusradogy upon
Mr Biddle, he has not been forgotten bythe American
people.
3rd. We have Millard Fillmore, who, during the
memorable panic session of 1834. was a humble dis
ciple of Clay. Frelinghtrysen, and Blaney, vrho were
then the Bank lead«rs.
At the extra session of Mr Fillmore signalized
himself by his devotion to Mr Cl4y's behest,. in carry
ing through the Hank bills which Presideu•Tyler ve
toed. He was the right arm of the United States
banking in the House of Representatives. and as such
he stands high in the confidence of the whip party.
More Tor and FerstA.ers.-.-.The Anti-Renters of
Rensselaerville continue their unlawful outrages upon
persons and property. We learn from the Albaninn
that a butcher of Albany, while passing through the
country with a pair of oxen, on Thursday. was met by
the "Indians," and asked to shout, "Down with the
Rent." Ho said he did not care any thing about the
rent, or Mr Van Rensselaer, or them, and be world
not. '•We'll tar and feather you, if you don't," said
the Indians; "ter and be d—d, ' responded the fear
less butcher. They then made him turn back to a con
venient spot, and again asked him if he would cry
"down with the rent." He still refused. They tar
red his clothes, and give him another chance to com
ply with their m der; but ihe butcher being immoveable,
they stripped him ticked and emptied a pailful of tar
over his head and body, and left him on the road.
Ball San.
The Chicken Cock on Lake Champlain— Mit
Decency.—During the last war with Great Britahrra
tremendous struggle was made by both parties to pro
s* rvo the naval supremacy of Lake Champlain. Com
modore kf'Donough, who commanded the American
fleet, determined to risk a general engagement. So
confident were the British of success, that a email
vessel, loaded with British subjects, came into the
any where the battle was fought, as spectators, to
witness the prostration of the 'Star Spangled banner.'
Th. action was commenced by the British vessels fir
ing a broadside. At that instant, says the historian, a
chicken cock, which Lad escaped from one of the
coops on M'Donough's vessel, fleir upon one of the
guns. and, by a loud crow, seemed to hurl back a de
fiance on the haughty foe. The instant this was heard,
the whole body of sailors, officers. and all, greeted the
gallant bird with three cheers. Sailors are naturally
superstitious; and Mr Cooper, in his "Naval History,'
says, the crowing or the gallant rooster "had a power
ful effect upon the known tendencies of the seamen."
Bering the battle, the chicken cock flew upon some of
the rigging, and from there, far above the heads of
the combatants, could be heurd between the pauses of
that fearful fight, the war cry of that gallant and fear
less hini.`. For this circumstance, as well as for its
, prompt resentment of any invasion of its territory,and
I its deep rooten hatred of red eoat invaders, the demo
creep hare adopted it as jin emblem of their princi
ples.
During the lets coon convention in ibis city, when
the very pick of the Whig 'speakers were vesent, a
chicken was carried in the procession, tied down 1/o as
to prevent its defending itself, while a prowling, thiev
ing, filthy coon—the cl e embit to of the same whir
gory that Cley is the embodiment—was gnawing U.
Airier parts, in the pepsine° of the crowd of both
sexes, and that, too, while the chicken was yet alive.—
C•lmment on these facts is IIADOOMMII47.

Esti . let from a sermon prs%eixtd at Cambridgeport, on
Fast day, April 4, 1844, by Rev C J Lovejoy :
'llut there is one scene—one circle of objects to
which I would call the solemn attention of every man
in this land, as he writes the name of a' duelist ui on
his ballot.
"When the unfortunate Cilley was murdered, 1 well
remember the sensation produced by the tale of wo as
it came flying from city to city, and at length reached
his ill-starred family. A young. accomplished and pi
ons wife. with a little group of tender children, await
the mail from Washington, for tidings from the hus
band and father The strange hand upon the outside
of the leuer excites surprise and trepidation: with fear
and trembling the fatel seal is broken:
"You husband is dead—killed in a dud; he died no
bly upon the ficld of honor, forgetful of God and you,
that he might assure the world that lin dared to com
mit murder.' The death of her husband, she could,
by Divine grace, have borne, but his crime drove het
to distraction; the children in terror stare at the wild
horror of the mother; a look at her children redoubles
the streams of fiery agony that played along every nerve
and fibre of her whole being. Such a scene might a
muse the whole state—the entire land. It did so.—
Every pulpit spoke out against dueling. But what
good can we du to weep over the bloodshed, and yet
honor the men who shed it? lam tired of dealing
with the subject : and if the citizens of this and other
states; will go and deliberately vote for a duelist for
President—one who has acted upon the principles of
revenge all his days, and who yet deliberately avows
them—then, I say, when your fellow citizens are mut , .
dered at Washington, make no ado about it, ask no
sympathy, demand no retribution, but say like mon, wo
chose a murderer to shoot them if they did not behave
according to refined notions of propriety, and we send
them there to be shot if ho thought best. Either make
the tree corrupt, or else let them both be good. Let
prehept and example go together. It is is vain for us
to preachagainst dueling, to lament its prevalence,
while our hems go and vote fur duelists.
This distinguished orator has, we learn from the
Nashville Union, been actively engaged in addressing
large Democratic Meetings in Tennessee. Ho has
declared his firm determination to support Polk and
Dallas and is doing his utmost to secure their election.
It will be remembered that he was the wbig represent
ative in Congress from Mr. Clay's own district in
Kentucky. The Globe thus speaks of his powers as
an orator.
We are not astonished at the extraordinary admira
tion which Mr. Marshall's eloquence calls forth where
ever it is heard. There is music in his voice, and all
the power of an orator in his action. He has the ge
nius of his celebrated uncle, Chief Justice Marshall,
as a reasoner ;—hie acute, subtle logic—his clear com:
prehensive statement—bis irresistible combination in
conclusions. In addition to these extraordinary fac
ulties for discussion, he has a fervid, poetic imagination.
which a rich, strong, and yet graceful and eloquent
style weaves in with his argument, and renders his
speeches an admirable tissue of all that charms in ora
tory.
To satisfy all who have never heard Marshall speak,
that we do not exaggerate his powers, it is only neceo
sari to state ( what is known to every body in Wash
ington) that when Mr. Marshall was eves expected
to debate in the House of Representatives. the immense
galleries were all filled to overflowing, and those of the
Senate deserted. although, Clay, Calhoun, or any oth
er distinguished debaters of that body might be actual.
ly engaged in the discussion of a most interesting sub
ject. In our judgment, there is no point of an orator
in which Mr. Marshall is not Mr. Clay's superior—
voice alone excepted. Mr. Clay'. voice is more pow.
erful and commanding than Mr. Marshall's, although
not more melodious or persuasive. Dot so far us
mental faculty has entered into the composition of an
orator, Mr. Clay is every way Mr. Marshall's infericr.
In the powers of reasoning, tact and humor—in beau
ty and splendor of fa icy and diction—in taste—in
erudition,—Mr. Clay falls much below his young rival
for the palm of elovience. As a man of intrigue and
manaxment on the public theatre, there is no parallel
between them. Mr Marshall has learned no system
of the sort. He acts single handed, and works no
machinery.
SOUND-BEAU f EFUL-ELOQUENT
The following beautiful extract we take from the
Democratic State Address of New York, that nomi
nated Silas Wright for Governor:
"We are the opponents of a United States Batik.
Weare opposed toall artificial accumulations of wealth,
which are the fruit of partial legislation. We are op
posed to the collection and the expenditure of any
more money, by direct or indirect taxation, than is ab
solutely indispensable to the publirfwants. We are in
favor of applying the moneys which come into the
treasury from the land sales to the payment of the ex
penses of administering the government., so tar as they
shall suffice, holding these revenues as a permanent
fund for that purpose. We are in favor of a tariff of
duties which shall be so adjusted as to bear equally
on all the -great interers of the country, manufacturing,
agricultural and commercial, and which shall, together
with the land revenues, be adequate to the public ex
penditure. We are in favor of a simple and economi
cal administration. We are in fuvor of a strict con
struction of. the constitution. And we are in favor of
confining the general government, in all its branches
and departments, to the exercise of such powers as
ore clearly and beyond all question delegated to it.—
By these principles, we stand, and by them we are
willing to be judged by the American people."
A Monied Man in the Guiter.—At New Orleans
on Saturday week. at half past ten o'clock, P. M., ac
the watchman was going his rounds in Jefferson street.
he nearly stumbled over an apparently insensible ob

ping, it was a man, in the must helpless state of drunk
enness. He was brought to the watch-house on a
band-barrow, an 1 on being searched was found to have
on his person, 10 sovereigns, 42 eagles and half ea

Postage.—lt has been determined that the mark
ing of hoes round an advertisement or paragraph, in a
newspaper, with ink or pencil, unaccompanied by any
writing upon the same, is not considered by the De
partment to be "a memorandum" within the meaning
of the 13th and 30th sections of the act of 1825, and
consequently does not subject the newspapers marked
to letter pos Cage.
The Warren Murders.—Tiro Supreme Court of
New Jersey have ordered the two Parkes,' to be tried
at Warren, but by foreign juries, to be summoned one
in Somerset and one in Mercer• The ease of Carter,
which was before the Supreme Court all last work. is

Manicures.
INSTITUTIONS for the etlre of the above diseases
have been in operation for the lastsvrenty years in
the principal cities of Europe, also in New York and
Chariest'', Smith Carolina; reports of committees
composed of theenost respectable eititens in the differ
ent places where the Baths are established can be
seen at our office, thnt will show that these diseases
which have heretgfure been considered incurable have
almost invariably yielded under the peculiar treatment
of Dr Whitlow. The results which have been produced
during the short time the Baths have been in operation
in this city, we believe, render, it our duty to inform
those who are so unfortunate as to be Mill:Led with
any of the above diseases, that if they apply to us in
time, they can generally expect a cure.
The fullowiug is an extract from a report published
by the institution at New York.shovring the efficacy of
the Bath when all other remedies bad failed:
-"Rheumatic, syphilitic aid gouty affections, attend•
ed with ulcers. blotches and eruptions of the skin, par
ticularly when originating from the improper use or
abuse of Mercury, scald•bead, anit•rbeum, eryeiplas,
pimpled face, dry scurvy. leprosy, ring-worm, tatters
and all other hitherto unmanageable diseases of the
skin, scrcfulous diseases ore relicvtd and cured in a
much shorter period and with more certainty than any
other mode of treatment ever employed."
