HENRI' CLAY has written another letter to one of
Ids toadies. Ay the way, the whole whig party, ex
cepting- perhaps, IVehster, deem toemulate each other
in base adulation of the bad man whom they have cho
sen for their candidate.
'Somebody has sent Clay half a dozen pairs of gloves,
and be writes a letter in payment, in which be utters
the gross falsehood.that "the question is nowdepending
"before the American people whether the doctrines of
'Free Trade Or fair Protection to American inthstry
"Ad/ prevail"—and adds that his party sustain the
latter—the Democrats the former.
Did ever any man indite a more grossly false and
impudent sentence. Henry• Clay, the author and ad
vocate of the Compromise, who has again and again
solemnly p:edgeri himself to abide by its principles, and
who. no longer ago than April 8, 1844, at Charleston.
8. C., said he felt it an "obligation of honer" to ad
here to that Compromise 'in good faith,"—he calls
•the Democrats free trade men and says the life of "fair
Protection" depends on him ! Henry .Clay, who,
.-arriting his last affidavits, warned his friends "rot to
raise the q•restion of protection, " will tell us that pro•
(action isonly safe in his hands. Only last spring, in
Columbus, Geo., he not only said that he had up to
'that time supported the Compromise, but solemnly
-.promised to "do so in future," and yet he falsely tells
•.the people that Protection can only be saved by him !
`l2rWe arc ns little disputed to quarrel with the
Age as it can possibly be to qeartel with us, but this
shall not deter us from noticing what we consider its
-unfair and dishonorable treatment of the democratic
candidates. We do not object to the editor's preference
;for the Whig candidates; it is a privilege that no per

fadsehirxis as advertisements. is no extenuation, but on
t the contrary, renders his conduct more obnoxious to
- censure. The hired bravo cal give Litz same excuse
for taking the life of a fellow being—he has no enmity
against his victim, he is paid to strike and he earns his
viegesby stabbing him to the heart. The course of

much the same. They profess to be no more attached

"Kounascs's Totat."—The Gazette says it copied
the lie about branding the slaves from the U. S. Ga
zette; the U. S. Gazette alleges that it was copied from
"come Western paper." Tito subterfuge of the Pitts
burgh Gazette, however, shall not save it from the
obloquy which must attach to this shameless forgery.
The Gaze:te professed to copy from "Knorback's
Tour." Produce the book, Deacon White, if you raft
—point out th 3 page where this story can be found,
or the hot indignation of every man who scorns frond
and forgery, will make you anxious to compound fe.r

A COON Taticx.—Some of the Allegheny coons who
were prowlingabout on Monday night, as is the custom
of the animals, broke into a house where the Democrats
bad deposited a unique Hickory Chair, that had been
presented to them by one of the delegations that at
tended the late Convention, and after nailing a cross
to it, placed it on the top of the Market House, where
it remained during the next day, as an evidence of the
smartness with which some coon can break into houses
and carry off whatever may be found. Wonder if the
burglars ever heard a lecture on "jiggrrs."
hig scamp, writing from this State fur
the N Y Tribune, makes gain° of the Germans, and
says they coil the Democratic clndidato for President,
"Bute." That makes not the slightest difference,
Messrs Coons—Mid little as you like the German mode
of pronouncing the name of Pout, you will like still
less the way they will put in theirminea fur Polk. Go
cn, gentlemen, get all the sport out of the Germans that
you can—you can't cheat them out of their votes.
DiustrY.—The Ago is too dignified to notice the
"blackguardism" of the American, when directed a

the blackguardism, and makes a very handsome pc•

Lictioliatr VOTER READ!
' In ease), exciting contest between the uemoStratitli .
and Federal parties, front he commencamaa it orparti
struggles till the pretemit time, the Dennocratle patty
have been accused of wishing to rout up
maktable in society. In old ti nes they were charged
with being "tome catoites," "Jacobins," the dtsciples
•of "Robespierre," and the imitators of the French
Revolutionists who aimed at the destruition of the
Christian Religion. Democrats who remember the
- -
Reign of Tema., Will well remember these charges.
In later Oates, the Democrats have been deoenneed
"Destroctires," 'Barn-burners," and now the Medan
redentlists have approached so near. the example of
their predecessors of 1800; that they denounce Demo
ems as "Bible-Burners." In fact, if thete is any one
feature which marks the identity of modern whiggery
witliancient Forictal6m, more plainly than any other,
lit is this very habit of arrogating for themselves the
credit of defending the Christian faith against the
alleged assaults of the opposite party. But in spite
of all these mansttons slanders, Democracy triumphed
in the election of Jefferson, and, except a short inter- i
val, has ever since held sway', and History has given
the 'loud lie to federal aspersions.
The federalists of 1844 are endeavoring to break
down Fasacts R. Saone, by charging him with en
mity to the Bible, even as the tederulists of 1800
sought to break down Thomas Jefferson. In addition
to the proof which we have already given, rebutting
this slanderous charge agair.st SHUKA; we copy
the following triumphant piece of evidence from the
Democratic Union of September 21:
"To prove ro our readers bow false and infamous

SCISSORS
Entrom—l have cursorily perused an article
in "the organ of Ike Aileen w kip," purperting to be
the production of an "Old School Democrat." the
tenor of which is nothing but the usual cant and hy
pocrisy which fills the sheets of that Journal. If the
writer is to be believed, be renounces the Democratic
party, from misapprehensions of a Catholic Conspire
' cy, which has sprung up against the Liberty and free
Institutions of the United States. Now s'r, waving
the unfairness of identifying the Catholi.;s and the
Democratic party. and mingling Religion with politics,
the documents from which the gentleman makes his
extracts are all old. How then could he, according
to his own views, act a ith the party up to a recent
period? How could he say, as he has said within a
new weeks,that he cou'd have so objections to speak
in favor of Francis R. Shank. But, sir, I think the
I gentleman has other and stronger reasons for this rev
olution in his sentiments than he has chosen to give
us. Like Hintibras be has came out arrayed and at
tended by another Ralpho to wage a religious-political
war, against a portion of his fellow-citizens, and Hod
ibras, I urn sure. never rut a more ridiculous figure
than this same new.found champion of Clayism.
A ltbongh gambling in the Clay patty is sanctioned
by the illustrious example of their gloat leader, yet I
would delight to he informed by this new wiltig.
whether. with all the legal accumen, fur which he is so
much renownesi, and with his sapient aspect, he can
justify privately gambling in lotteries and pocketing a
few cool hundreds occasionally in the shape of prizes,
by members of a church which forbids and condemns
all gambling; and whether, the appearance of such
Members in church next Sunday, with a long face and
holy look, would not amouut to sheer hypocrisy?
I would further ask the Old School Democrat, as he
styles himself, whether be consider* it morally correct ,
to countenance and connive at a young native. obtain
ing hundreds of dollars, from our honest and indus
trious citizens, plunging deeply into debt and finally
absconding, swindling his honest creditors of their
hard earnings?
►then the Old School Democrat shall have answer
ed these questions, I have a few more pickles in store
for hint to chew.

CLAY AND THE SETTLERS
The Chicago Democrat contains the following let
ter from Henry Clay t' S. Lisle Smith of Chiefly ,
ageing. the pre-emption policy of the Democratic par
ty. Mr Smith admits the genuineness of the letter of
Mr Clay. In a communication published in the Chi
cago Journal, he ~ a ys: "It is a matter of honest pride
in me to acknowledge that I always have had, as I
now have the original of that letter in my posses
slum"
WA4HINOTUK, 22d June. 1538
DEAR SIR: I treeived your letter of the 4th and
feel greatly obliged by the friendly motives which.
prompted you to address it to me.
There was no full report made of what I said during
the progressof the Pre-emption bill through the Sen
ate and none which wns corrected by me—the Globe
habitually misrepresents me, and I am compelled to
believe so sometimes from design—l•t:ever tiled the
words: "'They ate a graceless sot of robbers—land
pirates, poor miserable preoimptioners"—the language
1 used was substantially the same as that emr loge(' by
Mr Van Buren in his message at the opening of the
session.
I CERTAINLY MADE STRENUOUS OTTO
SITION TO THE PASSAGE OF THE PRE
EMPTION- RILL. Ldid it on principle, ends from
a serious sense Of duty. I thought, and still think,
that the public lands, which are the common proper
y of all the people of the United States, ought not tot
be liable to be tresspassed upon and seised and ap
propriated by any person who chooses to enter upon
them, not only without the authority of law, but
against its positive commands. The experience of
the Government had satisfied rne that a SYSTEM OF
PRE-EMPTlONk.aspettiallyib Connexion with that
of floats, WAS PERVERTED. TO THE WORST
PURPOSES OF FRAUD, PERJURY, AND SPEC.

But notwithstanding my aversion .to the syslern,

Henry Clay, for Crime. committed, ineligible .to
ogre, trader /As Cons/its/ion of Pentsay/vanta.
The propensity Mr. Clay has ever shown fur the
murderous practice of duelling, bas been frquently
exposed by the Democratic: papers of ibis and ether
states. It has been showed from history, that as early
as 1809, be challenged to mortal cumbat Humphrey
Marshall, a feline-member of the legislature of Ken
tucky, fur words spoken in debate Tiro Owls were
exchanged, which luckily proved ineffectual, when the
seconds of the parties it.terfered and put an end to the
combat, Mr. Clay all the while, however, insisting on
a third fire! When 50 years of age, Mr. Clay chal-
lenged John Randolph, also for words spoken in de
bate. and undertneklo punish an independent Sena
tor for the exercise of a constitutional privilege, by
a/tooling Aim in'broad day light! His agency in the
revengeful butchery of Jonathan Cilley is well known
to the country, and it is an admitted fact that he is at
this day, under heavy bonds before a magistrate at
‘Vashingtoo, TO KEEP THE PEACE;. All these
facts are notorious and undeniable.
Now, to prme the strong repugnance with which
the mom' people of Pennsylvania have uniformly re•
carded this system of reftr.ed murder, we here pub.
fish an extract from the amended Coamitution of our
State:
A Nil-BLACKLEG
Sacrum 10. (Article 6.) Any person who shall,
*flew the adoption of the amendments proposed by
this Convention to the Constitution, fight a due/ or
send a challenge for that purpose, or be aider or
abettor left/village duel, such person SHALL BE
DEPRIVED OF THE RIGHT OF HOLDING
ANY OFFICE OF HONOR OR PROFIT IN
THE STATE, and shall be punished 'otherwise, in
such manner as is, or may be, prescribed by law.
This salutary provision ens adopted by the Conven
tion, and received the subsequent ratification of the
people themselves, at the ballet-boxes. It now con
stitutes part of the fundamental law of Pennsylva•
nia. Mr. Clay is the federal candidate for President
of the United States. If he were running fora State
office, with his direct participation in the frightful Cil
ley tragedy resting on him, it would present a stave
legal question, whether he were not. constitutionally
debarred from holding it. And it' unfit for a State
office, by what parity of reasoning can he be deemed
%Total the honored seat once occupied by a Wssu
!serve! This feature of our State Constitution
speaks volumes against the blood-stained duellist of
Ashland, and should be constantly kept before: the
people.
Panic among the It'lligs!— The New York !ler-
ald says, there is a "terrible panic antlogst the
Whigs of that city," which seems to be "increasing
and widening every day." The Herald adds:—"Du. !
ring the last two days numerous secret and important
consultations have been held amongst the leaders of the ,
Whigs in this city, and cow iers have been sent into the
interior of the State, for the purpose of devising ways

greatest possible effect for the next six weeks. The
committee•rooms, and private as well as public places
of resort, base been crowed with individuals seeking
information as to the prtispects, and endeavoring to t

that inti:gire,ft in full.; '
am asked, said Mr. Kelly, to any whether Native

,party is incompatible with the creed tithe Democratic
patty. With what light, nature, experience end :My
!belted - education have given me, I Lave studied the
creed of the Democratic patty and I -will define it as
briefly as I can. Democracy, like Christianity, be
holds,introry man a child of God,—whose rights and
duties are the 'oceanic of those of ovary other mon.
It says to the men born in all climes of the world. be
fire God and' just temporal powers,you all possess
equalrights. Democracy holds that governments are
instituted fur the benefit of the governed. That the I
clearly expressed „opipion of the majority on all

I matters within - ilk central of government is the only
, just law of n land. That the government is best.
wisest and most durable, which g werns least, and yet
I protects the citizen in his personal rights. Democra
cy tdmits that there are matters with which government
may nut interfere. It recognizes in consciette.o the
-most intimate presemte of God in the soul"—the
only earthly representative of the Father of all; apd
it holds, that man, party or government, in attempting
to coerce conscience, commits sacrilege, by assaulting
God in His holiest temple, the heart of His child.—
The Democratic party of America, believing thus,
says to the man born in Europe or Asia. brother, flee
from the wrongs that oppress you—come to our free
land, and beneath our stars and stripes enjoy your in
alienable rights—Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of hap
piness! Even to the poor Irishman—as the gentleman
has singled him out—crushed almost to death by cen
turies of English tyranny—such tyranny as would
have gruund the soul out of men of less bodily tigor
and !frontal elasticity—it says come; oppression has
doomed you to poverty and ignorance; you have the
skill and will to labor, a,, coma, and your toil will he

a crime. It would punish men for having been born
on the eastern shore of the Atlantic. It holds conscience
to be the subject of governmental coorcion; it would
control it by &wand tweed. !judge the party by its
acts, not by the primea expositions of its doctrines.—
Wes not the watch word and ahiboleth of the rioters
in Kensington and Southwerk "Go it Natives?” Did
rot Lew', C Levin appeal to them in the name of the
Native American party, and thereby appease their in
fernal fury so much that he could pledge the honor of
that party for the safety of the building they sought
to destmy? Did not Thomas D Grover, who had been
Chief Marshal of the Native American procession,
when mounted on a cannon they had loaded sad poin
ted at the doors of that church appeal to the rioters us
"Natives" and ally "I led you like a decent set of fel
lows on the 4th, and I am sorry to see you disgracing
the party so now?" Hese they pot nominated for the
office of Au,litor, Augustus Peale, of Locust Ward,
who lost his aim in the Kensington riots—who was
two and a half miles from his home in a riotous assem

his home and life? With these facts before it, the
Democratic party, tree 4/ its principles. denouncer
Native Ameticaulant as a daogerous political her

One word more as to the conduct of the Native
American party. ts a Pennsylvanian, I feel degntded
by the flet, that any number of her people, however
inconsiderable,could deliberately pet in nomination
for Congress the very prince of insurgents—n man
who having lived in three or four states of the Union,
has inscribed his name on the criminal records of
them all! Defeated as he will be, the fact of his 110111•
inntion must tarnish the character of our beloved
Commonwealth. Years, long years will hardly efface
the almost indelible stains thus inflicted on the land of
I'enn.—Pleila Spirit of Times.

MICDICINES.
I NSTITUTIONS for the cure of the above diseases
have been in operation for the last twenty years in
the prit•cipal cities of Europe, also in New York and
Charlestn, South Carolina; report* of committees
composed of the most respectable citizens in the differ
ent places where the Baths are established can be
seen at our office, that will show that 'these diaereses
which have herrofore been considered incurable have
almostinvariably yieldr d under the peculiar treatment
of Dr Whitlow. The results which have been produced
during the short time the Baths have.lwen in operation
in this city, we believe, renders it our duty to inform
those who are so unfortunate as to be afiliaed with
any of the above diseases, that if they apply to na in
time, they can generally expect a cure.
The following is an extract from a report pollialted
by the institution at New York, showing the efficacy o f
the Bath when all other remedies - had failed:
"Rheum .tic, syphilitic and gouty affections, attend
ed with ul ars, blotches end eruptions of the skin, par
ticularly when originating from the improper use or
abuse of Mer cury, scald-bead, salt-rheum, erysiplas,
pimpled face, dry scurvy, leprosy, ring worm, totters
sad all other hitherto unmanageable diseases of the
skin, scrofulous diseases are relieviii and cured in a
much shorter period and with more certainty thip any
other mode shorter
