DEMOCRATS, BEWARE!
As the election approaches the exertions of the
whip become more desperate, reckless, and villain
ous. They are flooding the country with all sorts of
lying papers, and will stop at nothing that may offer
the least hope of rendating the present struggle,
which they feel to be their last, successful.
We therefore give timely warning to the Demo
casts, to be untsually firm and vigilant. Look out
for federal rascality, not only in the highways and at
she sueet-corners, but seek for it in every nook and
corner of the country. The New York Tribune calls
upon the whip to "organize"—implores them to go
•to work, and has the impudence to tell them that if
titcy are beaten. they will bn beaten by' feul voting!"
In uttering this the Tribune knows it gives currency
to a foul and scandalous falsehood. It knows the
Democrats •bane never been guilty of attempting to
-corrupt the elective franchise—it knows we have nu
:"pipe-layers" and "yarn•spinners" in our employ.—
There are no "Looneys" nor "Rhowns" in our par.
ny. We never elected a Congressman by "fool vo
ting," as Naylor was elected. What, then, is the
Tribune's motive for giving this warning shoat "foul
voting?" What can it be but to warn the "pipelay
ers" and "yarn-spinners" of whiggery to be on the
.alert,—to give them notice that their party once more
-needs their services?
;get Democrats, then, pay attention to the ominous
appeal of the Tribune—let them take every precuts.
'doe, to prevent open bullying or secret fraud—let
then:4in the first place,
Look to the Ballot Bozos,
in every district, , before the voting commences. and
see thdt they are all right,--that there are no ballots
in them.
Let them in the second place, see that the
Polls are kept clear,
fm, that all the voters can have free and uninterrupted
access to the place of depositing the ballots. Let the
strictest care be taken to
Examine the Qualifications
'of every voter whose right is in the least doubtful, or
subject the shadaw of question. Let Democrnts ex
truhsir influence to have the whole election conduc
ted in a
Fair, Honest, and Quiet Manner.
'Let us ask nothing but what is clearly right, and sub
imit, to nothing that is wrong. A simple adherence to
lllie rule, will prevent any kind of difficulty, and save
ourelections from the disgraceful scenes of violence
and villainy, which were pet-petrated by the whigs a
few years ago in New York and Philadelphia.
It gives us pain to be compelled to a rite this warn
ing; we are humbled nt the reflection that the conduct
of any party, in this free and happy country, where rea
son and fair persuasion should alone be used to con-
Aral elections, should have rendered each admonitions
.necessary. But the conduct of the whigs of New
York and Philadelphia in carrying persons from place
to place who were hired to swear their votes in at va
rious wards, warns us to beware of their devices. It
les been charged upon the whig leaders ofNew York
,stedfliiladeiphia lr And proven by the oaths of witnesses
whose testimony` has not' item fermally impeached,
that. in 1233, sirctren iruntirid fraudulent votes were
polled in NewYork e for the *hig ticket, by men hired
do,Philadelphia for the purpoce. And to show that the
whigs of these cities do not look upon this as et imin
al—to show that they 'do not, as a party, disapprote of
it—we point' to the fact that Bela Badger, Mayor
•Sentt, his isomitahles, and the others implicated in this
ztefarious business, have always enjoyed, and still en
joy; the entire confident.: of their party. •
It is true that they retaliate chairs of fraud upon
the Dirmocrats=hic they int s ve proved none of them.
They say that the - rowdies hired in Philadelphia to
vie tits wbig ticket in New . York, were sent on to
svateh the 'Democrats. Proof of the utter falsity of
this alinement is found in the - fact that this henomble
-aeltig-conttnittee of 'vigilance kdve serer reported Mt
ictralt of tkrirritibort--Ntrytiove never told-a:low
saanyfrauttwient tildes tie, sate polled for iheiDe

,have too high a respect for.the purity of the .elective

Garicrrx.—The Gamin:sof yestenday, publishes an
extract from what itcalls "Koorback's tour through
the Western and Southern States in 1836." We nev
er heard of the hook, nor do iro believes book of that
title was ever pablished. The. writer says -he saw
in Tennessee among a gang ut SOO negroes, Who were
being taken to 141iiTissippi t gorrY-THa6i.who had been
bought of JAM KS K. Pour, and were branded with
his initials, on the shoulder, and thereby distinguished
from the rest.
This infamous lie has been published, we believe,
in several whig papers, but the editor of the Gazette
does not pretend to have copied it front any other print.
The inevitable inference is, that H E himself made the
extract from "Koorback's Tour.". It is plain that
he wishes to have the medic for this most infamous end
rascally forgery, for he notices it editorially, and asks
the Spirit of Liberty to publish it. We dare Deacon
White to the proof that the extract was copied from
the book to which he has credited it. We date him
to produce the copy of " Koorback's Tour" from
which he pretends to have made the extract, and name
the page where it maybe found. If he dues not, be
will stand before the people convicted of a wicked and
wilful forgery and deliberate slander.
We are sickened and disgustrd with conduct like
this. We know them is no method of reaching the
depraved and mercenary heart of this wretched Wbite.
Since his transaction with the fifteen whigs he seems to
have forgotten everything like truth and honor, and has
solely striven to make the Gazette out-lie any other
Whig paper. Our only course, then, is to appeal to
the "fifteen whigs," to remonstrate with him upon his
shocking and shameless conduct. We do believe that
his employers ciinnot sanction all his shameless false
hoods. It is plain, we repeat, that the editot of the
Gazette sought to obtain for himself the exclusive
glory of this most slanderous fabrication—he might
have copied it from some other whir paper and given
the proper credit. But no! he wished to have the
honor of searching in thiaancliscoverable book, "Kees.
back's Tour," fur a new lie against
He wished to obtnin.the credit of delving in hooks of
Travel and finding therein grave matter fur attack
upon the candidates of Democratic party.
The United States Gazette, of Philadelphia, it ap
pears, copied the slander, from "some western paper."
It published the falsehood on the 19tb, and on the 21st
' retracted it in the following paragraph :
"In our paper of the 19th inst. was an extract from
some western paper, about Mr Polk's purchasing and
branding forty-three slaves. The piece is credited
to "Keurback'a Tour." We think it proper to say,
since the piece was copied, that we know nothing of
Mr Keerback,betthat the %bole of the extract may
be found in Featherstorthaugh'i travels, EXCEPT.;
ING THE PART PRINTED IN CAPITALS
ABOUT THE SLAVES BEING PURCHASED
OF MR. POLK, AND BEARING THE BRAND
OF HIS INITIALS UPON THEM."
So far as the U. S. Gazette iseoucerned, this tetras- '
Lion, although unaccompanied with any apology, and I
althr ugh published in the outside form of the paper,
will do, and is as much as can be expected from a
whig print, in such a case. But the editor of the Ga
zette cannot get off so easily.
,He has got no "western
paper" to take the odium of this slanderous lie. We
are to understand thatit was copied from "Koorback's
Tour" directly into the Gazette, and now he must I
produce the book and point to the page, or stand more
deeply branded as a calumniator and falsifier than',
any Southern Slave could possibly be with the initials
of his master.
UNJUST.—The whig leaders do not treat the editor
of the American with any thing like fairness. He has
had the trouble and odium of writing and publishing
some of the most infamous lies of the campaign, and
when they were fixed up in the most approved form,
the leaders employed the man of the Age to print a
large edition of them for circulation, without even giv.
ing Biddle credit for their paternity. This is unpar
ralleled ingratitude; any man who would degrade him
self by the invention of such vile abuse as the Ameri
can issued against Mr Shank, should be permitted to
enjoy all the pecuniary advantages that might arise
from such baseness--.it would be a small recompense
for the load of infamy that such falsehoods must draw
upon their authors—but the coons are not willing to
let Greasy enjoy the advantages of his degradation,
and they steal his slanders from him and give them to
others to make money by their publication.
The only reason that they can assign for this dis
honest treatment of Biddle, is, that his character as a
ribald slanderer is so notorious that no one would give
any credence to the falsehoods if they knew that they
emanated from him, and they therefore thought it the
best policy to have them printed by some person not
so well known to the public.
As Itvesstous PLOT.—We have been informed by
a gentleman on whose word we can rely, that the whig
mob turned out on Saturday evening for the avowed pur
pose of fighting with the democrats, and that it was their
intention, if they could get upa riot, to tear an Ameri
can Flag daring the progress of the fight, and then
charge it as an act of the democrats. 'From the re
spectability of the source from which we have this
information, we can not doubt its truth, and we
cannot refrain from an expression of horror to think
that any faction of our opponents would resort to a
plot so infamously wicked to embitter the strife of
parties in the present political contest.
Fortunately for tips peace of our city, the democrats
refrained from noticing the taunts of the Clay mob on
Saturday evening, and these law and order patriots
had not an opportunity of consummating their flag
teari ng plot.. All thesati4faction they had was to parade
tte streets yelling like fiends and groaning before the
dwellings of democrats. ,
We have heard of nothing in any political contest
more infamous than this plot, g by which the Clay men
wishedto create a mob on Saturday evening.
A STUMPk:R.—fife Whigs of Philadelphia have
gut out a pamphlet, purporting to ba authentic ex."-
tracts from the speeches ant:netters of Mr Pout on
the Tariff, and to give a coloring of truth to their garb-
Hug they offer a reward of one thousand dollars to
any democrat who will prove that the extracts are not
made correctly. The Democratic Executive Commit
tee have accepted theater and invited the whip to a
oanauhation, when they will prove the pamphlet to be,
like all other authentic documents that emanate
from the whip, a tissue of misrepresentations and
r
pervertriona. The whip have not yet pted the
proposition oil the democrats, nor do we s ppose that
they mid. They have sent forth the lies with a
swagger that they hope may induce som to believe
them to betrue, and they will take spec' care not to
let the democrats get them into a position where they
will be compelled to admit their falsity.

!MEM
The most annoting piece of bombast we have -seen
for some time past is the card of a Mr Wilson (the
Person who insulted one of the speakers at the demo
•cratic Concretion) published in the Gazette of yes
terday. The idea of Dr McCook elailing,,Mr Wil
son it - highly amusing, and that be should afirink from
giving any explanation touching the statement which
called forth the Blamed insolence of this modern
Bombastea, is an absurdity that cam gain DO credit
with those who have any knowledge of the "fair busi
ness transactions" _that took place between James
Wilson, of Stet/hewn*, and the U. S. Bank. It is
,very foolish in any of Mr Wilson's family lobe guilty
of conduct that would bring the matter into public
discnarien again, for they must know that the fact . of
James Wilson having received the money was not
only substantiated by affidavits at the time, but that
it was subsequently stated in a report of a Commit
tee of Congress that examined the affairs of the Bank.
It is foolish, in the first place, in Mr Wilson calling
par t irular attention to a matter that was only refer
red to incidentally, and then it 'was a piece, of inso
lence that none but a whig would be guilty of, for
him to use the vulgar and insulting languorat such
a time and place as he chose to insult Dr McCook.
The intcirferenco of Dr McC. and some other demo
crats, saved him from being punisher] severely for his
insolence, on the spot, and it is surprising to those who
have beard his supplication fur protection, to note the
swaggering tone of his card in yesterday's Gazette. Mr
Wilson has shown proper prudence in not finding Dr.
McCook before he left the city; and it was equally sen
sible to refrain from publishing his bombastic card un
til ho he felt certain that tit.: Doctor had reached his
horn..
KIZTANNISO, Sept. 21, 1844
, Messrs Editors:—On last Wednesday nights political
discussiontuok plato in, this town before a very large
assembly:: The cause of whiggery was advocated by
Goerge Deride, the greet political reformer of Alle
gheny county end Sam'l A Purviance, of Butler. The
Democratic party was represented by Henry S Ma
grew. and:Samuel Black, Esqrs, of Pittsburgh. The
speakers were each limited to one hour. The , discus
sion was opened by Mr Darsie. who, in imitation of
, all the wbig orators of the campaign, attempted to
pine that James K Polk and the Democratic party,
are opposed to the tariff policy of the country; that
they are the advocates of free trade in disguise, and
that Henry Clay and his party are the origional and
exclusive friends of the manufacturing and laboring
classes of society. He was followed by Mr Magraw,
who, in a clear and forcible argument. defended the
Democratic party, from the false position in which
Mr Darsie attempted to place it. Mr Purviance con
' tinned the discussion, on the. part of the whigs. and
confined his remarks entirely to the question of the
!tariff, passing by the great and important issue of a
I Bank of the United States, as though it were an ob
solete idea." Mr Black then took the stand. You
have heard Mr Black; and are familiar with his ad
' mined ability as a stump speaker—his earnestness of
manner, as well as his fore and power asa debater
To say that he nobly and ttiumphataly sustained the
Democratic cause, would only be repeating what is
conceded by all who were present. In the course of
Mr Darsie's remarks, be read an extract from an ed
itorial article in the "Armstrong Democrat," pub.
Hotbed in August, 1842,in reference to the present Tar-1
iff. Mr Black convicted him in the presence of the
whole meeting, of a wilful and deliberate misrepre
sentation—of reading 'bat which was not in the pa
per at all, and I would say from the contortions of the
Hon Senator, that he, in common with his political
friends, felt the force f the exposure. For the grati
fication of Messrs Magraw and Black, I can state.
that their visit to Kittanning was not without its ef
fact,—at least two persons who were present, and
who were on the fence, so far as the Presidential
es ndids Les are concerned, have came out firmly and de
cidedly iu favour of Polk and Dallas. The discussion
has completely silenced the braggart spirit of whig
ism here, while the democrats are all delighted. The
Democracy of Armstrong, owe to Messrs Magma
and Black, a debt of gratitude, witeth if they cannot
repay, they will never forget. Yours, &c.

publications in the whig papers against F. R. Shnnk:

Messrs. Editors:-1n an address to a Liberty
meeting at New Texas, Plum township, on Saturday
last, I made use of an extract as published in the D.
8. Gazette, purporting to be from the Travels of
"Keurback," charging upon the Democratic candidate
fur the Presidency conduct of the most inhuman char
acter. From information since received, lam con
vinced that the whole story is a fabrication. There

psnial opponent of both the pro-slavery candidates
for the Presidency, I make 'his correction.

THE BLOODY WORK OF WAR
A graphic de:scription of the Bombardment of
Mogadore—The destruction of the Town—Eight
Hundred Lives Lost!—The correspondent of the New
York Evening Post furnishes the following graphic
account of the late bombardment and the subsequent
battle, under dote of September 2d:—
"The bombardment of Tangier by the French has
been followed by the destruction of Mogadore. The lat
ter was not quite such a child's play affair as the for
mer The entrance to Mogadore is covered by an isl
and, Oil which, according to accounts were 120 pie
ces.eof cannon and a garrison of four or five hundred
Mel,. On the 14th August, the French fleet arrived
off the coast and experienced some bad weather, so
that though they had two hundred fathoms of chain
cable out, their anchors "broke like glass." On the
15th, the weather moderated, and the march on Moga
dore was commenced by the Belle Poole frigate and
three armed brigs. The reception, however, which
they met with was of so warm a character tha t victory
hung in the balance ; and the sun went down without
any decisive results. On the 16th, it was resolved to
storm the island, upon which five hundred picked men'
(a force superior in point of numbers, to say nothing
of discipline, to that of the garrison,) landed under
thecommand of Capt. Duquesne. The Moors fought
gallantly, a full hallo( them fell ybaghan in baud--the
others capitulated. The French, having now posses
sion of the island, turned its batteries upon the
ill-fa
ted city, and Mogadore was presently a heap of ruins.
The wretched inhabitants, twelve or thirteen thousand
in number, fled in all directions, anal the barbarous Ka-.
bylet, descending from the hills, seized upon whatev
er was valuable and fired the remaining houses in all
directions. The French lost a number of men in
their attack on the island, *IA 'tibia point of the af
fair, the Prince de Toinville is stated to have behaved
with great courage. The Belle Poole suffered se.
verely. The French left a garrison on the island for
the rather needless purpose of watching the ruins of
Mogadure, sad the squadron then took its departure
for cadiz.
"Whilst such was the course of operations on the
coast, inland the French were:no lima suorcasful....
Marshal 13ugeau marched a couple of leagues into the
Moorish territory, and was met by an army of nearly
20,000 cavalry, headed by a son of the Emperor. A
battle took place, when the Marshal was completely

MR. CLAY'S BONDS TO "KEEP THE PEACE."
On the 9th inst., a gentleman wrote to us from
Shepherdetuwn, Virginia, asking us to give him "rho
facts in relation to Mr. Clay's being under bonds to
keep the peace at this timet" giving, as his mason for
doing se, that the Whigs "of the stronghold of federal
ism stoutly deny the fact, and offer to bet On the same."
We published this letter in the Globe of the 12th inst.,
and said underneath it, editorially, as renews:
"We believe the time has' expired for which 11fr.
Clay gave bonds to keep the peace within this District.
But it makes butlittle difference, in our opinion, wheth
er it has or not, 'as it is not probable that be will ever
visit this District again."
We have since obtained a duly certified copy of Mr.
Clay's bond, by which we di.cover that we were mis
taken in the opinion which we then expresod, that
the time fur which he was bound - to keep the fence
bad expired. It will be seen,by referring to the bond,
which we copy below, that the time for which Mr.
Clay is bound to keep the peace is not limited; and,
moreover, that he is bound to keep the peace its all
places, and "towards all persons." Yfom what we
have seen in the public prints we_ are led to believe
that he is very angry with an ••0113C0111t" individual
named JAM6S Knox Pont, alias "Yoesc Fl texonv;"
but we verily believe that the chilling news and nights
of November will so cool him off that he will not at
tempt to commit any violence on the body of that
"individual." Some of Mr. Clay's friends about
here appear to be a little "caniaukerasta" because the
said James K. Polk stands in the way of their favor
ite's ambition; hut we apprehend that the paying down
of a few "cool" thousand will cool them off.

A CHALLENGS. FOG WHIG F Cox,
Esq, of Somerset, who is well known to have been
one of the most distinguished leaders in the antima
sonic patty ,has given a general challenge to the friends
of Clay, to meet him on the stump, and discuss the
merits of their candidates. Supposing that many of
the old antimasons of this county, would like to hear
from one of the ablest advocates of these principles,
and as the fifteen whigs have "cheesed" them out of
their organ, we copy Mr Cox's letter.
TO THE ANTIMASONS OF SOMERSET CO
Fia.t.ow Catzettc—l am one of the men who be
lieve that the nomination of Henry Clay, by the whig
party of this Union, is a fraud upon the Antimasonic
party, and that it is an insult to ask them to vote for
him. This is no new opinion—l have for years expres
sed my determination tp never vote for Clay. I have
never hesitated to expresso the opinion that he could
not receive the votes of Antimasons, if they adhered
to their principles. Very recently some of the whigs,
(not Antimasuns) of Somerset, have chosen to make
me the subject of their public speeches, and have so
used my name, as to make it just and proper, and per
haps necess/iry, that I should make my sentiments and
the reasons by which I am actuated, unequivocally'
known.
FOR THE POST
I therefore propose to discuss and maintain the fol
lowing propositions:
Ist. I affirm and will prove, that Henry Clay is not
only an adhering Mason; but made an effort to have a
union of the Lodges of the several States, by forming
a Grand Lodge at Washington City—that ho propo
sed this should be done secretly and not permitted to
be introduced into the newspapers—and that he delib
erately insulted the Antimasonic party for their oppo
sition to secret oath-hound societies.
2d. I affirm that Henry Clay is a duellist, ani re.
fulled to say he would not accept a challenge if one
were sent to him.
3d. I affirm that Henry Clay was one of the princi
pal supporters of the Bankrupt Law—that his vote
would have repealed the law before it went into ope
ration, had it been cast in aceirdance with the instruc
tions given by his constituents—l affirm further, that
that law wee fraudulent and dishonest; a disgrace to
the country, and was the means of cheating honest
creditors out of more than six hundred millions of dol
lars--a law which was, and is denounced by the Anti
mason, as being contrary to their principles.
4th I affirm that Henry Clay has done more to un
settletho tariff question and prostrate the principle of
Protection, than any other man in the nation—that in
stead of his being its best friend, helms been its worst
enemy, and has also given countenance to Nullifica.
tion.
sth. I affirm that lienry Clay is not only a Slave
holder, but declared in a speech delivered in Congress,
that if gentlemen would not let them have black
slaves they wonlii have white oars, or that in sun
stance. This I aver is r.ontmry to the principles of the
Antimasonic party of this county and State.
6. 1 affirm that Henry Clny is not worthy of the suf.
frages of a free people for the high office of President
of the United States.--that he could not hold any of
fice under the Constitution of this State, if a citizen;
and chit he le particularly unworthy of the votes and
so pport of A ntimasons.
These propositions I propose to discuss with any
friend of- Henry Clay, the Masonic Whig candidate,
who will dare to meet me. and kw that purpose 1 name

INSTITUTIONS for the cure of the above diseases
have been in operation for the last twenty years in
the prircipal cities of Europe, also in New York awl
Charlean, South Carolina; reports of committees
composed of the most respectable citizens io the differ
ent places where the Baths are established can be
seen at our office, that will show that these diseases
which have heretofore been consideted incurable have
almost invariably yieldtd under the peculiar treatment
of Dr Whitlavr. The results which have been produced
during the short time the Baths have beeit in operation
in this city, we believe, renders it our doty to inform
those who are so unfortunate as to be afflined with
any of the above diseases, that if they apply to us io
time. they can generally expect a cure.
The following is an extract front a report published
by the institution at New'York. showing the efficacy of
the Bath when all other remedies had failed: t
"Rheumatic, syphilitic and gouty affections, attend
ed with ulcers. bkeches and eruption* Cif the skin, par
ticularly when originating from the improper use Or
abuse of Mercury, scald-head, salt-rheum, erysiplas,
pimpled face, dry scurvy, leprosy, ring -worm, tatters
and all other hitherto onmanageable-tliseases of the
skin, scrofulous diseases are relieved and cured in a
much shorter period and with more certainty than auy
other mode of treatment ever employed."
