A gentlernaritothis . city received a letter yesterday from somecitixens of Westmoreland, from which we make the following extract for the purpose of again exposing the Flag slander-1 "We would respeclully request ynu to state to us at what time the Itlyingof the corner stone I,f the Ger man CatholioCharch of the Fifth Wald, Pittsburgh, 'took folace. e.'hetbertberenvas anv4oal carried in front of the proceseion; anfl you niiistit also state, if you please. whether the firmerican Flag was walked over by the Catholic Priests. i ' .

MORA stars or PANIC.—We published an art icle a few Idays since, showing thermic which pervades the whip party in Virginia, and other plots of the Union. The New York Tribune of Friday los an article in whi*ch is evinced, in a striking degree, the trembling terror now surcharges the breasts of the whigs every where- The Tribune writes thus about whig prospects in New York: "Nothing but the ern-11,1(1e delusion of many thousands of them [the whigs] by the held and•reck less falsehoods of the Loco Foco and Abolition papers in regard to MrClay's position and views respecting Texas, can prevent Mr Clay's receiving the vote of the State. It is just possible Dow—THoCIOR TT DID NOT *KKK so Two MONTH. AGO—that the conjoint falsehoods of these two classes of enemies to the Whig party and policy, MAY PUSH UP BIRNEY'S VOTE ABOVE 20,000, and so endanger Mr Clay's success; but we trust the' moot desperate efforts to that end will prove unsuccessful." The editor thinks that on the Texas question will turn the vote of New York. How can the Tribune fear the result on that question? Hu not Mr CLAT again and ;pin written letters defining his various po sitions upon it? Have not the whip procured the ser vices of theshoreholding abolitionist, C M CLAY, to apenk for telr - Clay on that subject? And then, to pre vent the positiltilityorc M Ctsearloingitis namesake any injury, by not the "embodiment".written a letter saying that CIO Clay:is not, authorised to speak iris sentiments, ,A-i,sl topretrent H CLAY'. letter from do •ing anydwjory, have not the is hig papms generally ra dioed is pahlish it, and thus have kept the fact from the people, that C M Clay is not II Clay's mouth piece on the subject of Abolition? After this most cunningly devised scheme to blind and. cheat the peo ple, how can the alit-orof the Tribune have any fears of-Ihp effects of the Texas question in taw State -of New York. How is it possible for any "Liberty" per version, or "Loco-foca trick" to mislead• the people about Clay and Trans, when Mr CLAY anti - the whigs have acted so honorable, konert and tit aighlfor ward a part in relation to Annexation? But what idmore strange, the Tribune did not think as it does now, "!m 2:lanai ago." It did not then believe it "posiible." that the "conjoined falsehoods" of Dem ocrst"Libetty - itieuernild 'Tn.& up 1/irney's vote fan i'lleW York] aisive 20,000, and so endanger Mr Clay s -ilinceess: 4 . But the Tribune in this cwicula tion.has:,SUide noidleivar we• for the •'conjoined" or disinirod and disjoining falsehoods of C M CLAY PIA FLLNITY CLAY. Had the matter been left to the "conjoined" efforts of the "Democrats and Liberty men," which the Tribune seems so sorrowful about, we fen r the editor might still have had sonic hopes that CIAY could get New York. Those parties, however, did not 'unite in one cause,' as the Tribune knows; and if they had joined heart and hand in opposition to Clay, they could not have beaten him down more ef fectually than he has been beaten down by the dis joined (but "conjoined")Vflorts of him and his rela tive, to insult and cheat the people on the Texas que Lion. But we have almost forgotten our firat object in writing this article, which was to call attention to the fact that the whigs of Now ]irk are mnst terribly., ecureg. While the result of their grand onslaught on the Liberty men w , as pending, they were fall of hope —they ha voltam' beti i !grace& ly 'beaten (numb at field—they have astettained that the Liberty men spd firmly for their own candidute,—and now the ' Tribune admits in the extremity of its fear, that the success of Mr. Clay in New York is endangered.— When such is the tone of our enemies let Democrats take courage. l'u4h on the column ! The victory is already in our grasp ! Arrtriliza FALSILIOOD.-A writer in yesterday's Age says that "Mr. Adam Weyer, who works on the Steamboat Michigsn, of in lading, her keels, can sub stantiate" the Flag Slander. We are told that Mr. Weyer denies pusiti , ely that he over authorized such tae to be made of his name, and that he never told any body teat he could substantiate said charges.— We are also told that the persons who have made this unamlunized use of his name, remarked to some other persons after they had had a conversation with him, that "they could woke making oat of tkat man." This is a fair sample of the manner is which the milt creams get up their slanders. "From Pennsylvania, we have the names of very many of the leadinebod time-honored patriarchs of the opposite party who will vote the State Tickets of our lippuneota. yet give a hearty, efficient support to Mr. Clay. Our information assures us that there will be at least Five Thousand votes of this class in that sin gle State." The above is from the New York Tribune of Fri day last. Its falsehood will be apparent to every man acquainted with the political affair* of our State, and the object of the statement is as - palpable as its wan of troth. The editor knows that his party will be totally routed in the Old Keystone on Tuesday next, and ha is already anxiously busy in the attempt to break their fall—to let them down easy. So far from his statement being true, the whigs of Pennsyl vania believe, and constantly express the opinion that Pout will get more votes in this State than Suirsn. They are busy in the attempt to show that there are Polk nten who will not vote for Shank. To snstaia this they coined the lie that the Westmoreland demo crats carried a banner with' Polk, Dallas and Mat kle" upon it. The editor of the Tribune, little knows the strong dependence the whigs of Pennsylvania place on the calumnies they are circulating against "old Shank," when he 8340114 thit Shank will rim ahead of his party—or else knowing the character of the slanders the whigs aro using, he has no hope that .tbe.y will iujure the hottest candidate of the De snocracy. :The Demncrots will learn from the abate paragraph of the Tribune, .the mesa duplicity of the: whitid end 'hovel-fact fallacy of otheir hopes. Ia Pennsyiva nia they say Shook will be victimised by their foul slanders and full behind 'Polk. In New York, they gay I'OLK will notebtain the•vote of his party snd that &tuna will get 5000 votes more than Polk. In New York they claim Pennsylvania .for Clay, and in Pennsylvania they 'claim New -York. Such are the miserable expedients they employ to keep tip the fas sinking spirits of their party. Again we say to the• Democrats press onward! T.be wkigaate beatemnew- Their fears betray them.

Oar honest and able Senator can give the lensey , l3lwis,a glorious an. count of the.aiiemphaat yrospects of demomacy in the old Keystone. CLAY AIM Tczss.-15 nothing is the dishonesty of the whigs, sad their total want of every thing like at tactitmeto to printiples, or even measures, made more appamat then in their conduct on the Texas question. When the good turd pious DeaeonWhile was anode ting Ms arrangement with the fifteen whigs, one of the stipulations in the bill of mile WWI, that the whig candidate which he was willing to be persuaded to snpflert. should be opposed to the annexation of Testes. Clay was brought out as the candidate, and at first he wrote a double faced letter frotn wbicb the whip; of the north inferred that he eat opposed to annesation. But after the lapse of a little tints he wrote a second, from which 114 as plain to see that he had a feeling of affection for Texas, and a third soon followed in which be came out "flat footed" in favor of annexation.— Notwithstanding this the whigs of our city are still electioneering for him on the ground of his opposition to annexatioe, and Deacon White advocates his elec tion all the same as if his article with the fifteen whip had notbeeir violated. Bat while the whip in this quarter aredetermiaed not to see the troth, their friends in other parts take an honest view of the matter, and candidly admit, that Mr Clay is in favorer annexation:. To show this we make the following extract from the address, of Mr Charles Anderson, candidate for the Ohio State Senate, and Henry S Guekie and J M'. Kinney, candidates for the House of Repreoentatives, as published in the Peyton Journal: "And we feel hound to say that we differ front Mr Clay In regard to its ex!eneion, perpetuation and aggravation of the evils of slavery. We believe it will do all three. But abigs are not required as our opponents. to come down to a blind dead level, burl. zoned. standard of opinions. We perhaps look t h roug h a different Medium, and therefore with equally good ayes, see things (differently. However that may be, we do decidedly dtfer from on this axe point from Aft Clay.

Will Deacon White answer? Is this language snf ficiently explicit If it is not, we should like to be en' lightened as to its ambiguity; at the same time be may inform the public how ho can, with such a declaration from Mr Clay, maintain his contract with the fifteen whigs, which contract explicitly declares that be will not support a candidate who is in favor of annexation. ConaEcrtott.—We find the following introduction to an anti• Tariff article published in one of Clay's or gans yesterday morning : Mr. MIDDLETON: I called at the office of the Pitts burgh Morning Pot on the evening of Sept. 27th, and requested the editors of that paper, both being present. to publish the following article from the Flew York Plebeian of Sept. 2. 1841, a Democratic paper with Polk and D illas at its head, which they refused to do I then wished to have it published as an advertisement, to which they objected. Their reasons for not pub lishing it were: that the principles contained in it were not Democratic, nor those u hich the Post pmfessed to advocate, and that they selected politics for their own paper. I therefore request you to publish the article in the "Spirit of the Age." W. McC. Mr McC. is mistaken as to our objections to pub lish the article. The only ground on which we refu sed to insert it was its opposition to the Tariff, and we felt under no more obligation to circulate what we con sidered the erroneous opinions -of theTleberien on mere measures, than we do to defend A- Clay, who, we are informed by the leading *big organ, put the "knife to the throat of Protection," and actually "throttled ;tie Tariff." It is well known that we haste been the eteadyadvocates of a Tariffthat will give to all branch es of American industry sufficient protection, and that we have denounced the efforts of those who in '4l: at tempted to "kill tie Tariff," and thus leave the skill and industry of our own — werkmen at the merry of the •'pauper labor of Europe." Believing that anti-Tar iff doctrines are injuriotis to the interests of our own country, we refused to publish the article denouncing the Tariff of '42, which DANIKL WZDSTER says was passed by the aid of Democratic votes, and which the tecords of Congress show, would have been host if the C.ay men had been able to carry out their project of killing the bill. We are not certain what object Mt McC. had in de si.ing the publication of an attack on the Tariff, but the fact that he in an extensive dealer in foreign Goods, will. perhaps, help to explain his motives. Messrs. Editors I think you are accessories before the fact if not principals in doing great, injustice to your neighbor of the Gazette. "Give the Devil his due," is a very old though homely adage; and I hope you will no longer aid Greasy Jim in doing to Deacon White what you should not do even to his satanic ma jesty; that is, great injustice. There is no doubt that the great argument in favor of General Markle, was based on the assumption that he killed an Indian and drank spice-hush tea. I have tried the latter, and (own' it to be by no means an unpleasant beverage; therefore, presume that General Marklemay have done the same. This half of his title ton nomination is, therefore, probably true, and Mr. White, or his cor respondent., must have the credit of not mixing mere than au equal portion of falsehood with the truth.— The real, original Markle men, such as Greasy Jim and Jake Miller, did not measure out the truth and the He so equally. Their truth in the falsehood was like a groin of wheat in a bushel of chaff, hard to find, and when found, not worth the trouble of hunting fur it. The original story, as first manufactured by the wor thies whom I have named, was that %Ode hod killed fourteen Indians, but unlike Feist:int men of buck ram, a dozen of them gradually evaporated, and Greasy only insists upon two: finally, however, he gave up one, and insisted strenuously that Markle certainly killed 3ne Indian and drank spice-wood tea. This was the state of the story when White's correspondent wrote his letter; but subsequent scrutiny has put the dead Indian among the missing in the catalogue of Markle's; services, and now nothing remains but the drinking the spice wood-tea, which is, pet haps, true. It is, then, surely, great injustice to condemn Mr. White for claiming fig Markle both the dead Indian and the tea. when all the impudence of Biddle mow only claims the latter, and seems a good deal ashamed even of that. Perhaps be is afraid that if the story about the tea should be investigated it would prove as evanescent as the fourteen Indians. /lir •Shutsk•sind tie Salobalk—ln the Telegraph extrii,4t in owed w s "remarkable fact," that Mr Shuck never permitted his children to visit the Sab bath schools, doting hie eeshience in Harrisbuigh.— The ausertien•is •infamously fake.

AFRAID OF THEIR PRL•ICICLES Sunie days Awe, we were informed, that the whiga of this city had already subscribed $25,000 for elec tion purposes. What honest purpose such an enor mous s u m could be intended fur, 14=e could not ima gine, awl we . oubt if any Whig committee, or club, or even the President thereof; c a n satisfactorily explain to the people of l'censylvaoia. We are now informed from a reliable source. that another large subscription is_deemed necessary by tinswiriga i to effect some great scheme, which they have on Foot. Pkiladelgtia A portion of tbeabove, has probably been spent in this torigbbrcistrild to tkry for the oertificates and perjuties that have been brought nut against Mr SHUN X • We lcnCw that 'those who have been engaged in circulating them, will not work without a living, and they doubtless• received a reward proportionate to the infamous natal of the labour performed. The second subscription spoken of iu the above paragraph, is We sappose,to pay fur some new selemet of fraud. ' In the celebrated speech at Raleigh ( N. C.) deliver ed June 29,.1844, Hamer. CLAY defined his position on the tariff queedou, as follows : "We must REJECT both the doctrines of Free Trade and of a HIGH and exorbitant Tariff. All par ties oagletto be salisfied will" a TA RIFF FOR REV ENUE, and discriminations for protection." As if by an extraordinary coincidence, Mr TUSTIN, (democrat) from the comity of Philadelphia, had pre viously:viz: March 2, 1844,mad0 the following motion in the House of Representatives of Pennsylvania.. It will be seen that his almost a verbatim transcrip t of Mr Clay's sentiments: Resolved, as the sense of this House, that a Tariff for revenue with pr oper discrimination:, would be a sufficent TARIFF FOR PROTieTION." It would be supposed,. that Upon such* resolution. coinciding so closely with Mr Clay's own language, every Federal member would at once vote in the affir mative.

Here then is unanswerable proof that the Federal party in Pennsylvania openly repudi ates Mr Clay's position on the tariff question, as as sumed by him at Raleigh. It is to be hoped that the Cloy chilis,in their researcher for •'authentic docu ments," will take care to give the above vote a cou spictmos place. Who is Rigia—The Commercial Advertiser re ports this scene as occurring nt Boston the other day. Mr Webster was com.nending something in the recent legislation of England. A man in the crowd exclaimed, "They aro all slaves in England '."—upon which Mr Wel ster turned his eyerapidly in ti at direction owl said. 'My friend I , did not your father corn from England', free man?' And then, his eyes flushi ; with fire and indignation, he poured ((nth n term If rebuke, which elicited a perfect tornado of applause. Curling his lip and look ing the speaker through with his piercing eye, he con tinned—'What blood, pray. do I.ou inherit 1 .sell slaves in England ! What liberty theta is in the world, out of our own country, is iu England. It is inferior only to our own, and in a great degree controlled by the ancient establishment of the country. but all the liberty that is; consistent with the pravalen cy of law and order, as established in that country, dues there exist. And whence come the principles of the right of suffrage, the glotious system of trial by jury, the pi iv liege of the habeas corpus act the fear less independence of a fre e press, and the right of public assembly I All these are derived fr-m England, and still exist in England, where they are all slaves. forsooth!" [Mr Webster paused a Manilla, and then continued his address.] We quote horn the Albany Evening Journal the fol lowing resolution, passed at a / Whig Meeting. The Italics are onrs. Resolved, That the county of Albany is decidedly e Whig county, and so manifesu itself at the annual elections when the native inhabitants are not overpow ered by the hordes of foreigners, who, brought up as slaves in their own country, know not the feelings and duties of freemen in this." The "man in the crowd" had high authority fel his assertion, and the quostien is whether ho or Mr Web ster is rirht. We have no respect for either authori ty, that is the authority of Mr 'Webster or the WF.ig resolution, and our opinion therefore remains the same at it was before. —N Y Plebeian.

Henry Clay is on such a constaat dog's trot, now running South, now North, now burly, and again rig, tug ; next up and then down, hither and yon in all directions, that it is almost impossible fur the unfotunate coons to follow him any longer No sooner do they get fairly started after the Embodiment, than they are compelled to stop short, and take the back track. After chasing him all over the country on the Tariff, they found themselves tum bled into - yankee mud puddle! And in trying to keep up with his rotary views on Texas annexation, they have actually run away from their abolition provender, and mounted the snorting Annexation steed, whose nostrils breath fare, blood and Slavery!! as they said: But the miserable elfs, in attempting to ride that high wiettled courser without saddle or bridle, will chafe themselves to death ! if they do not get their brains dash ed out against an ash stump !

FOR THE PoST Destruction of Ilfcstansoras.—By the arrival of the schooner Fortuna, at New Orleans, from Mexico, we learn from the Picayune that tho town of Matamoros has been destroyed by a hurricane. It occurred on the night of the 4th ult., and was snore tremendous in its effects than the huiricancs of '35 and '37. More than two thirds of the city was prostrated, and the remainder were more or less injured. As to the extent of the loss of life we are not accurately inform ed. The correspondent of EL Censor de Vera Cruz estimates the whole loss at about two hundred souls. The direct desttuction, however, se fur as we could learn, was at the two mouths of the Rio Grunde, soma thirty miles below the city of 51atantoras. - Here scarcely any were saved. In writing of IVlatarrrims, the editor , ' have nothing to mitigate the extent of its ruin. They desci ibe it as a beautiful city, abounding in luxurious habitations, and provided notonly with the necessaries of life, but many of its most refined luxuries. In a moment, as it were, every thing was laid waste. In Baltimore, on Thurso/1y evening, 26th inst., by the Rev. Dr Roberts, Mr. CHARLES WM.
