fa'The contrast that every one" must observe in
the conduct of the Democrats towards. Gen MARILLIL,
and that of the whigs towards Mr Sayan, shows clear
ly the spirit that governs the two parties. While Gen
Markle's private character is respected and himself
well treated whenever he comes among democrats.
Mt Shank is assailed personally with the moat 'nag- I
new falsehoods, and his careless remarks, uttered while
ho was the guest of whigs, picked up and published
in the whig papers as grave charges against him.
With all the insolence of the hirelings of the whig
party, they dare nut say that is he incompetent for the I
office; the ability that he has displayed in many ptib_
lio stations is too well known to the people to permit
his slanderers to utter a doubt as to his qualifications,
and the scrupulous honesty with which be has dischar
ged every public trust confided to him, has placed his ,
integrity above the reach of his malignant assailants.
In every private virtue—in every public qualification
calculated to commend him to an honest public, he
stands pre eminent, and yet he is assailed with unex
ampled ferocity by whig blood hounds, and his private
character slandered by such men Biddle and White,
and theband of calumniators who aid them in their
work of slander and misrepresentation.
Of Gen Markle's religious opinions we kns.w noth
ing, and, in a political sense, we care as little; he may
be a Turk or a Jew for might we know, and as we
hate no right to interfere with his religious opinions,
we do n x intend to inquire. But his qualifications
for the office we have spoken of freely, and intend to
do su still on all proper occasions. None of those
who advocate his election will dare to say, that he has
either the talents or experience necessary for the sta.
lion. When he was nominated, that one of the whig
papers stated, his merits consisted in having killed an
/editor during the late war, and on the strength of this
achievement he was brought out as the whig candi
date for Governor!
His immediate neighbors—those who have known
him fora long series of years. say that he is not only
totally unfit for the station, but that it would be with
the greatest difficulty be could discharge the duties of
the simplest township office.
Ili - it'spalceo of as a kind-hearted. unsuspicious old
man, without any experience in public afairs, and in
competent to guard against the schemes and wiles of
.the bands of political intriguers that would swarm
around his administtation. Those who secured his ,
nomination did not pretend that be had any higher
qualifications than having "killed an /talon and
drank spice-busk tea," while to have him for their
candidate they rejected those whose claims were back
ed by "right and justice," by "piety, temperance
and business tact." They know that with a Govern
er pesseseing any of these traits, they would not be
permitted to have any association; "piety, temperance
and beefless wet." would keep them at a distance;
and a candidate who had a proper regard for "right
and justice," would, of course, crush all their knavish
schemes to swindle the people.
Aoeording to their own admissions, Gen. Markle
has not a single qualification left him for the office, and
if be abaebtbe elected, be would bare to depend upon
thsvaivitse of •shose who boast that they triumphed
over "OM" sad umaperanee" in his nomination:
tbelraeet and upright citizens may well exclaim,
"God save the Catortmonerealth;" if the destinies of
the State should ever be entrusted to she .care of those
who erected the nomintulun of Gen. Markle in defiance
of the claims of "right and justice—"piety, temper
ones add business tact."

sera that this atnatais anhnfernal slandatqa t heing ,

is i~ti
to conceive where it was concocted, but osestiti' nt is
certain, thee it has met the sateen sanction eflia
ing men of the w h ig party, who have given itturctila
,tkrn, and sought to obtain for it the credence of the
public. We incline to the opinion that it was.prepareti
by the National Whig Committee at Washington, and
ant thiough the country fo the whig presses at the
principal points. In no other way can we account for
the almost simultaneous appearance of the forgery in
several of our principal cities. This whig committee
is maintained a Washington for the express purpose
of preparing and circulating documents for the beate4i
of the whigs, and very probably it is to them the crime
of originating this horrible lie most attach. But
CHiontzftof the U. S. Gazette, Wean of the Albany
Journal, Km° of the N. Y. American, and other lead-
era of the whigs are all guilty of participating in this
atrocious forgery.
We appeal to impartial men of all parties to consid
er for one moment the infamous character of this mode
of electioneering. The Democratic candidate for Presi
dent is charged with perpetrating an act of cruelty at
which humanity shudders—the evidence submitted is
of a nature calculated to carry conviction with it—for
it.purports to come from an impartial witness, and to
Nct given at a time when Col. POLE was net before
the people for office, and to be stated as a solemn mat
ter of history, uttered without the most remote design
to injure him. The charge is spread before the people,
not only in the sheets which serve as common sewers
for patty slander, such as the Pittsburgh Gazette, but
in the leading journals of the patty, such as the U. 8.
Gazette and Albany Journal, conducted by CHA In
tim and WILD, who are lemon_ the best men in the
whig party. It would be impossible for the whit,
-presses to lay any matter .before their - readers slat
could command or seem to deserve more universal
credence than this statement about branding the slaves;
and yet, with all its apparent strong title to belief—
appearing, as it does, in the moat respectable organs
of the party--pubilsbed and endorsed as it is 'by tfieir
best ant( most prominent men—it is PROVEN ,sed
CONFESSED to be a FORGERY—aII that relates
to Col. Pout is proven and admitted to be a WHOL
SALE FORGERY!
We shall not ask any man to admit that this mnde
of attack is haw, unfair and dishonorable—the vilest
wretch on earth would concede this—but we calmly

Yesterday, *bout noon, James McCutcheon came to
my office in company with Mt M Martin, and at their
request I took down a statement made by the fan mer,
in the nature of en affidavit, which 1 understood to be
intended as a contradiction of something be had been
made to state in the newspapers, and for which he had
incurred reproach fr om the "IneA;focos." He express
ed his hope that after this statement, which he would
make in justice to thole concerned, the locofoco pa'
pars would let him alone, and not call him a loafer,
&c., as had been done. I read to him the deposition
in 'mationsas I wrote it, and when I had finished i t ,
Mr Martin desired me to read it all over to Mr M e ,l
Cutcheon aloud. I then read the whole of it to him
nio•td and yeti dististclly, and be came forward and
subscribed and made oath to its truth. The same
afternoon Joseph Barker and J H Foster brought Mr
McCutcheon back to my office; and Foster cut a piece
out of a newspaper, and wrote some additions - to it, l
and wanted me to swear MeC to it. I said that I
would not swear the man to what he (F) was concoct
lag for him; but that I would swear him to auy state
ment made or prepared by himself, McC then went
to my desk and commenced writing, and after he hod,
written two lines he threw down the pen, saying, "I
am not fit now." I then told him to come back again
when he was fit, anal I would swear him to tiny state
ment he might make. They then wok hire away.
Whet McC. came back in charge of F. & 8., they
said that he had told them that a part of his statement'
to me had been omitted;—and McC. then said that he
had said in addition to what I had put down—"titat
the flag was wafted d twit to the ground anal three
persona arilked over it"--that when he had said so
he walked away from my desk and motioned how it
had been done. Mr. MeC. did not pretend that any
part of what is set forth in the depntition was incor
rect—the utmost he asserted, was the omission of the
expression above quoted. I certainly did put into his
deposition all that I understood he wished at the time
it was made. Let the expression said to be omitted,
be ad.led,aad any one can judge whether it would con
sist with what ra ft t'cs it WIA 1.1111( .1 Di Caine to

IMR Tilt POST
MR. SHENK IN THE PROCESSION.
Mr Shenk is charged with the offence accent ling the
Catholics fur their votes, by walking in the procession,
&a, in the same put:graphs that this charge is from
time to time reiterated, it irstated that "a large ma
jority of that church ire found in the loco foco ranks."
The absurdity of this charge should be so obvious to
every one, no to prevent its repititicn. But so it is,
men in their fervor to perform partizan services, will
often expose the hollowness of their professions. Mr
Shook pandetingto the Catholics whaare already all
of his party—and not very likely to change their poli
tics! had nothing to gain by the act for which he is so
much blamed. If he were to be charged with "pan
dering to the reNtions prejudices" of some of the oth
er churches, a majority of whose members are known
to vote the Whig ticket, the charge would wear some
show of renson, because there he would have some
thing to gain; and in an doing would not be acting in
consistent with his religious profession

make the game 'interesting.' Let us see how this
practice would operate on the minds and murals of
the American youth, should it become the national
amusement. We will take sell/43 which recently hap
pened in Kentucky and etrea is Henry Clay's own
Horse.
L. E Hopkins, son of Judge Hopkins. of Mary
land. recently visited the family of Mr. Clay at Ash
land. One day after tee, the young gentlemen retired
to a aerial game of cards and as nstual, some money
was bet. John B. Clay. the son of Henry Clay,. was
playing with young Hopkins, and offered whet - hint
five dollars on the issue of the game, which offer
was accepted on the part of the tatter but no money
was put up. Hopkins won the money, but Clay refu
sed to pay him se the laws of the game requited the
money to be, °mac hoard. A diepute arose, in which
Clay gave Hopkins the lie. No notice was taken of
the insult at the time, further tharato break up the
play, but next day a challenge was given and accept
ed, ar.d the parties actually crossed the Ohio River to
fight, yeith Cassius M. Clay as the Second of John
B. Clay! The matter, however, was settled without

INow place Henry Clay is the Presidential chair,
with John B. Clay his private Secretary, and let him
make up his cabinet with kindled spirits, and fill all
the important offices with the like kidney, and where
will be the morality of the nation? Well may it be
