unassailable, the friend of the people and the friend of

None of these objections, urged against the Whig can-

name is not an "omen of dufeat," but on the contrary
it is the watchword that will inspirit and cheer on the
democracy to a glorious victory in November

THIC lisw YORK DiMOCRATS AND TR& TARIIr
—The whig papers, by means of false and garbled
tracts, and all the other fraudulent practices they re
upon so much, have attempted to create the imp •
sion that the • Democrats of New York are hostile
a Tariff, and differ with thei: brethren of Pennsylv
nia on that point. Wiseacres of the Whig party al
running round with at ticles purporting to come fro
Democratic papers printed in New York, all calcul
tell to create the same false impression. At the late
• _ _
and largest meeting the Democrats have held in Ni
'clerk City, the following resolution was passed:
Resolved, That the Democracy of this county is
favor .of a Tariff, sufficient for . the revenue* of tl
Government, and so laid as to afford fair and equ
encouragement to every branch of American iodustt
and that ell•beyond this is Whig extravagance at
Whig oppression of the many for the benefit of the fe,
We ask all true' friends of a Tariff to contrast tl
sentiments of this resolution, which is uniformly
vanced to by Col Pout add the whole Democratic
ty, with Ct.ss'li grand humbug,. the Compromise au
to which he says he is bound by en "obligation
h on or" to "adhere to in future," and which,if ell
,red, he will carryout
Pixy: BLAME FARic—We have heard many

lens if the Committee) would "report progress,"
let the public know thaw-far they Fume preceded
carryisg out the object of their appointment.
She •citiraas of Allegheny have purchased

ception of paupers. The peeple-ef Piusburgh we
like to know alum obstacles Uwe .prevented the C 4
illiittee of the Pittsburgh Councils from acting
like promptitude.
Tux Artrrieoacm 15cm-rim—We copy the Col-
ing brief, but reasonable and satisfactory statement
the probable result at the Presidential election,from
,e New York Morning News. We prefer it to many
lculations which are more elaborate, and wisrthinic
at it puts the worst possible face on the prospects of
Democracy. The'whigs will learn from two min
es' perusal and reflection on it, that they are a "used

Mr Polk is sum of the following States. We omit

The following States may be set down as doubtful,
enough some of the most important of them we regard
as sure for Polk, (especially New York) while in the
last four of the balance of chance is against him:
New York, 36 Maryland, 8
Ohio, 28 Connecticut, 6
Tennessee, 18 Delaware, 3
Indiana, 12 North Carolina, 11

The next straggle is
Out of all these Mr Polk only wants 16 to elect him
And when this is said is not enough said?

Tux MEX.—The following shows the spit it and
the expectations of the 'Tennessee Democracy. It is
copied from the Nashville Union, and the editor as
sures his readers, that the author is able to make good
his offer:
Tennessee save near 13.000 majority for Harrison
in 1810, and gave Jones near 4,000 over Col Polk in
1843 fx Governor: yet I will give ONE HUNDRED

are more certaiii for Polk and Dallas than are thn
of Pennsylvania. The recent election has placed till

Mr Shunk,was exerted, ana, we declare it as our co
victim), limit there were not• one Lundrod of our op
nems itothe whole•Stsueovbetelted from their Ste
nonunattoos.
On the other hand. Mr Shuck lost prdbably Icon
10,000 m 12,000 votes by various local causes, wbicl
cannot possibly effect folk and Dathul. The absurt
flag and bible stories, arrayed in a shape so plausibl
as almost to defy refutation, .cnlisteld the "Native
American" vote against Mr S. en masse. 'But it. ac
eccomplised even more. Hundreds of well-meaning
christians, misinterpreted Mr Shusik's letter in rel.
Lion tothe use of the Sct iptures as a school book, any
were rendered either lukewarm or hostile. 'Can it'
?resumed, that these men will now falsify all their pro
fesseJ reverence fur the doctrines of revelation, by sup
porting a man for President of the United States, wix
lives in the habitual violation of them all ?
Can it be presumed, that they will now vote fur Hen
ry Clay—the Gambler, the Profane Swearer, tki
Sabbath breaker and Drellist7 Never. Mandrel:li
of honest and conscientious men, who have beretufon
acted with our opponents, will -either sulttject them
selves to voluntary disfrancihisement..er, - if they exer
cise the right of suffrage at all, will votefor James K
Polk.
The consequence will be, a large increase of t .
Democratic vote in all the counties, and a correspon
ing decrease of the Federal vote. Listen, fur exa
ple, to the Columbia Star of Friday. It says:
"Many Democrats did not vote for Mr Shan* and
the Impression that be wee a Catholic. Therefo
we now pledge the 'Star of the North" good for 1,71
majority for Polk and Dallas in November." •
The Ametican Sentinel says:
In the city and county of Philadelphia w•e will shot
our friends quite another state of affairs from the yr
of Tuesdayll%ft."
The Mercer Luminary, the abolition organ of thi
county, says
"The vote of yesterday, for Governor, may be regal
ded as deciding the contest in the Stale for Pres
dent. IS the returns show a majority for the whig ca
didate, the vote in this State in November will mo
probably be given for Mr. Clay, but if Mr Shenk shoo
be elected Governer, there is little doubt but Mr Po
will receive her electoral vote. Tkere are many ab
hat:suds who voted for Gen. Markle, who mill at,
vote for Mr Cloy."

The subjoined resolutions, with the pointed and elo

lature of Tennessee by Dr Thomas It Jennings, then
presenting Davidson county in the Senate, on Tties
y, December 3d, 1839. Dr J. is now a candidate
Elector on the whig ticket, and was an acknow
god leader of hit patty in the General Assemhly at
time. Tho resolutions are copied from the Senate's
ournol, of the session of 1839-40, pages 18:2-134
d are as follows:—Nashville Union.
Mr Jennings submitted ties following:
Whereas, a high tariff, under whatever pretence
evied, tends to- build up a great system of manufar
urea, by taxing the whole people, and especially the
ople of the planting States, fur the benefit of the
niacin capitalist: and whereas, by the inevitable op
ration of every such-law the value of the productive
ndusttry of the Southern section of the Union is great:
y diminished, and handed over without consideration
to another section; and whereas, the same unwise
system of 'taxation has heresufute seduced, sod must

Major Noah, .a leading whig in 1840, and n.
editor of the New York Sunday Times, (a neut
paper,) says:

The Major thinks the nomination of Mr Wril
leaves no doubt of the success of the democratic tic!
in New York. HeSava: "Clay will come down
