where he reused his time more than contain several
years, until he settled down, end became connected
with the college at Angnsta, a town distant about 600
Mile! from Washington city, where Mr Clay spinet the
greater portion of his time, and about 100 miles
from Lestngtonsthe place of Mr Clay's residence.
Under this state of facts, we respectfuliy,,propound
tbiliiimartien to the Doctor, how could he keep an in.

world that "he does "know," that these charges are
"baselystedituterly felse".-in whole and in part," and
eonse4tterttly, to Tallow out the Dr.'s most 'decorous
and Christian eorahularly, that he who asserts the
contrary ".lies mast foully in the throat." K e tell the
Doctor were he to state perboattliy, to Mr Clay', as
sociates in Washington City or in Lexington the
ceneenie of his certificate, and appear to do it in sober
seriourttes, they would either regard it as a pleksant
joke abit;or an attempt to impose on their credulity.
The Relr. Dr. has about an equal chance of knowing"
whether those charges are true or false, as the Pope
of Rome has of persodilly knowing ihe morality of
the Russian Czar. But to render certain the Rev.
Doctor's means of "knowing! that Mr Clay is a finish
ed specimen of morality—that virtue claims him as
her fa 'te and'espectal s4vocate and pattern—lie is
hetaiiad "forth as the renowned President of Tranil

delude ehopeople with the idea that* has occupied
that station for a considerable length of time. Such
is eat the fact. He has been a resident of Letting-

MeCalla, of Lexington, an elder of the Presbyterian
tbnrcliof ihat city, a man without spot orblemish—
(who has been hunted down by Mr Clay himself, aye,
even by all the curs which so throng his kennel there,
and fur what? because he dated to lift the curtain
which concealed his deformity, and to publish to the
world-oat of those very charge.' which, in the face of
nverwheheing evidence, and not denied, this Rev Dr.
now renounces 'utterly and basely false")—publish
•el in a riper thete, "that this very mime Mr Clay,
(and neither CM Clay ot C C Clay; of: Alabama this
time,) on the 4th day of July, 1843, at a public bar

ground in his own cart iage, a considerable sum of mo
ney," andproffered to prove the charge if required, by
the gentlemen who played at the table. and by a host of
his political friend' end neighbors.
Was the charge denied? Did any of the tenants of
the kennel. or Mr Clay hi insolf. utter the Faintest shad
°war denial? Did either of Mr Clay's certificate
makers of the recent occurrence at the Blue Lidt
Springs, (who by the bye weie both zreseet as we are
informed.) at least when this genie at thebarbecue
was played, when the Yriend's peaces were relieved
of their "small change," then, unsolicited and unask
ed, step forward and certify that Mr Clay did no
"gambling" then and there?
Silence, profound silence, was the watchword pie
fed froze the chief to his satelites, and silence it was.
Their were afraid to deny the charge which General
M'Calla made and could prove by fifty unwilling wit
nesses of kis_own party.
And 'has therkev gentleman slept over all this? He
"knows" the charge was made, that proof was offered,
butnmo was challenged; and yet he "knows" that Mr
flay does nut "gamble," and proclaims the charge to
the world as "besely and utterly false," under the sa
cred sanction of the writt n word of a minister of the
gospel!
Once more, let the Rev gentleman gli to Ashland
and ask the man who he so boldly and recklessly en
dorses, whether the beautiful picture of the "Welsh
woman," which decorates the wall of its dining hall,
was not won at the gambling table! Let him descend
limn the throne of Transylvania, and ask the same
**embodiment" of all the attributes of virtue and me
runty, whether the still more beautiful pict re• of the
"Buquet of Flowers," which meets the eye as you en
ter the drawing room of that stately mansion, was not
staked against with money, and won at the same place
-of vice and depravity!
Let him not leave that mansion until he make the
still more portentious enquiry of this sage of Ashland's
shady grove, (who once harked him against S tten and
whom he now hacks as the putt% and best.) whether
he did not propose (at the seine place of inquiry to put

Let these questions he asked and answered in hon

perishable characters against the man whom you at
tempt to sustain and corkirse. "the public and private,
intimate and confidential intercourse of 20 years and
more," with the additional proof of your certificate to
the contrary notwithstanding. Was Ads intimate and
confidential intercourse still kept up by you, Doctor,
when Clay lett his home to travel to Louisville to the
races? Aye, on the race field itself, end to the leapt
:soma of the Hotel where these "moral" sports were
finished f,tr the day, and do you "know" that Mr Clay
did not bet high on the race field; and gamble high at
the Hotel? Were you so "intimate and confidential"
with your honorable friend when he was travelling up
and down the river on steam boats, and you at home, l
by your own fireside. as to know that he did not der' I
.cend from that pinnacle of morality on which your rea

'heavily on his hands by a resort to the gentle and very
"moral" amusement of the gaming" tablet - aye, and
even forget that Saturday night had parsed away, and
the Sabbath had dawned on "two bullets and a brag
:ger:" or the ' four humors in his oivn hand." This last
is technical language, Doctor, but your "intimate and
.coofidontial intercourse" and association with Mr.
'Clay for the long period of "twenty years and more,"
may, by thus time, have taught you to understand its
legitimate meaning. And still, Doctor,your honorable

THE MILLERITE DELUSION
The extent of this excitement is almost incredible.
Ichas no doubt produced soma good by 'wakening the
thoughtless to serious reflections, but it has also been
the pregnant cause of the beggary of families, insanity
and death. Such delusions have occurred nearly eve
ry hundred rites since the Christian tra began. In the
tenth-century, especially, the cnd of the world was con
sidered -as at hand. The spread of this belief now is
almost incredible. From every part of the country we
hear evidence of this. From a Journal in Louisville,
.Ky., we gather the ensuitig graphic account Of one of
the Millerite meetings, which will show the excitement
of all there.
"The immense tent was filled with thousands, every
seat and spot of ground being occupied, and still thou
sands had , to go away unable even to get inside. The
churches throughout the city were almost entirely de
serted, sn eager were all to hear the doctt ines held by
Miller and his followers expounded. Among the vast
assembly in the great tent, we noticed people of every
profession, sad class of society- The high, the low,
the rich, the poor, the aristocrat, the democrat, preach
en, sait.ts and sinners, men, women and children,
"white and black" all crowded and jammed together,
and almost Suff. ,cated with the dust, hest and-smoke.
After the sermon bad been preached—end It 'was a
vet y reasonable, sensible sermon, which none could ob
i ject to—came a scene which beggars description. To
be realized, it would have to be seen..-s-Tbe mourners,
or, converts of whom there were a very large number,
threw themselyes in the dust and dirt around the pul
pit, and for nearly an hour, men 'and women were
praying, singing , shouting, groaning and weeping bit
terly. The colored porti In appeared to be very gene
rally alarmed, and hundreds of them were crying and
making the most hideous noises. The preachers did
not set any certain time for the destruction of the
world, but stated that they were expecting it hourly,
and would Watch and pray until it did come."
In Newbutyport (Mass.) a man issued the follow
ing card: .
Nortex.—As I am fully satisfied that the end of all
things is near at band, and that in a. few days the Say
jeer will come in the clouds.,pf Heaven—l offer for
sale my stock of Dry Goods, lashes' and children's
shoes, at reduced prices.
I will sell the whole together, or in lots to suit pur
chasers.
My only object in offering my goods for sale, is that
I may meet. all obligations to my fellow men, as fares
possible, before litat day arrives.
All persons Indebted, will oblige me by settling the
same immediately—and all to whom I am indebted
will please send their accounts for settlement.

THZ lAST • E77011T up TH6 theaDIRIERL—A
short dine siege we took oceasionto caution the pub-
lie against falsehoods and slanders sat would, in all
probability, be issued by the whigs against Mr Potx
on the eve of the election, when there would be no
time to contradict them, and to fully expose their fal
sity. We inferred that such would be their conduct
from their former acts, and we have not been disap
pointed. Yesterday's Gazette contained a letter from
Governor loses, of Tennessee, certifying to the truth of
the extreAs contained in a pamphlet published some
time since by the Clay Club in Philadelphia.
This pamphlet purports to be made up of extracts
from the Speeches, etc. of JANIS K. Petit, and its
publication war accompanied with a bluffing offer to
give any man one thousand dollars who would show
dist !the quotations were not honestly made. They
supposed that this affected confidence in the accuracy
of the extracts, would prevent the democrats from
examining them. But they were mistaken. After a
short investigation the Democratic Committee disco,-
ered that the whigs, as usual, were attempting to de-
ceive the p-ople, and had misquoted and misrepresen
ted Mr Petx's opiniuns. They at once accepted the
offer, and called on the Clay Club to afford them an
opportunity of proving the garbled character of the
extracts; but they called in vain; the whip knew how
easy it would be to expose their dishonesty, and they !
bad no disposition to stand before the public in the
light in which such an exposure would place them. I
nor did they feel inclined ro pay the $lOOO to any one
who would detect their dishonesty. They were too
cunning to incur a fur.h.n exposure and they quietly
backed out from the proposition.
But, although they had not the nerve to defend their
own rascality, they were base enough to get others to
do what they shrunk from doing themselves. They
pursued the course followed by their brethren in this
city with the flag slander. When their falsehoods
were exposed, they set about getting them cer
tified to by persons who are ready for any desper
ate measures that may be necessary to help their
party.
In the matter of 'these garbled extracts Gov Jones
has made himself • Ar Cuteheon for the Philadelphia
‘Vbige, and in a letter, the language and temper of
which would be disgraceful to the lowest of their grog
shop brawlers, he certifies to falsehoods that the Clay
Club of Philadelphia have shrunk from defending.
In this billingsgate letter, Jones" has shown that,
notwithstanding the high position lie occupies, he lass
base and reckless In slandering the democratic candi
date as the vileSt of those vrbose affidavits and certifi
cates were purchased with a glass of whiskey; and the
readiness with which be becomes the tool of those who
forge the slanders, indicate that be would have but
little hesitation to do any act of baseness that his party
might require from him,
Or Some of the Whip raised a report that the
Gazette has been sold out to the Natives, and that it
will hereafter advocate the principles of that party.—
The editor finds it necessary to contradict Orbs retport,
and he pronounce. it a "fsbrication of the enemies .uf
the paper."
Otir cotemporary's opiniunof the Natives. must have
undergone a change, wince be threatened to have a
"say" at us. because we gave them rather a strong
puf. Then he was shocked atus fur speaking of them
in any terms but those of admiration, but now he ap-
pears to think that his enemies could not do him a
greater injury, than to connect him with the Native A.-
meriain Party.
17P'We perceive that the Whig Central State Corn -
miuee of Virginia, have found it necessary in a formal
meeting, to displace Samuel J Bowden, "sub-Whig
elector forthe election district of James city, York and
Williamsburgli." Reason—he is going to vote for
Polk and .Dalles. He is a member elect of the legis
lature for James city —N Y News.
The Albany Atlas remarks that, the Whigs of Vir
ginia are evidentl!, in trouble when they cannot keep
their own electoral candidates 'true to their ticket. In
New York they aro in the same embarrassment. A
correspondent informs us that the recent Whig Conven
tion in Delaware Co. nominated Mr. Heman Gould
for Congress. The . Convention, however, while sluing,
was informed that their proposed nominee had prier».
sed to vote fur Sibs; Wright fur Governor. A corn.
mittee was tbereupousppointed to wait on him, to in
tempts him with regard to such an expression.—
Mr G boldly acknowledged that he had made such a
declaration, and would keep his word. The commit
tee, after pondering* while, half convinced themselves
of the honesty end propriety of the preference, and
somewhat in despair of finding any one in Delaware
Co., wbo would not vote for Silas Wright, concluded
by nominating Mr G.. notwithstanding his peculiar
sympathies.

The policy of Jona assn towards foreigners, as
embodied in his Alien laws, is the hula on which this'
1 new movement is predicated. Those laws excluded

sedition law of Adams' bore cruelly upoo:forelytqre si
and if "Nativeism" should ever arrive.' at Maturity,
some feature similar to it will doubtless be added to its
present odious character.
Ancient fedtralism, and Modern Nativeista, too,
have anotherstrong point of resemblance. They both
claim to be the exclusive vindicators of Religion, which
they both allege is subjected to danger from for
eign assaults. The ancient Federalists affected te '
apprehend much horror of the influence of France
and the principles. of her revolution, which they avow
ed awe advocated by Jefferson, and which would end
by destroying the churches, burning the bibles, and up
rooting Christianity throughout the country. The 1
modern Natives affect to apprehend similar dangers
from the influence of Catholicism, and the labors of' ,
Irish and Gennan Catholic clergymen.
It is plain from this brief compariaos of the leading
feature of Ancient Federalism with Nativism, 'that the
latter is but a cardinal measure of the former, slightly
modified by time and circumstances. And it is equal
ly plain bat any man who pro Fesses and adheres to
the Democratic faith which was held by Jefferson and
triumphed with him: can join the Native Amer
ican party. The policy of the Government u related
.o the Naturalization of Foreigners, was more positive
ly settled by the Democratic triumph of 1800, than
any other other queatiou—and that policy is embodied
and carried out in the present Naturalization laws.
It has ever been the aim of Federalism since its
great and signal overthrow, to accomplish by guile,
what it had in vain attempted to achieve by force. It
dare nut present its whole catalogue of heresies, for
the action of the people—that were a hopeless mode of
warfare. It has since fought only by means of am
buscades—by drawing detatchments from the great
Democratic army, which were surrounded and cut off,
or forced or cajoled into the ranks of the enemy. They
seized hold of every accident, of every symptom of pas
sion or prejudice among any division of the Democracy,
to instil and scatter the deadly poison of Federal prin
ciples. Iris thus that Fedralism in its new guise of
Native Americanism, has obtained an ephemeral con-
sequence,
If the leaders of the Native faction had approached
Democrats to make proselytes with the old align law
in one hand and the whole budget of Federal enormi
ties which flourished with it in the other, does any one
think they would have made a convert 1 No—nut one.
They would have been spurned from the presence of
every honest, adhering Democrat. Rut that was not
the way they went to work. Taking advantage
of the alleged imprudence of certain Naturalized Citi
zens who happened to be Irishmen, and professed to
be Catholitm they raised a hypo:a-ideal cry;about the
impudence and dangerous designs of that whole class.
The cry was joined, (perhaps started) by nien„ them- 1
selves f.'reigners, who brought kern their native land,
a bitter hereditary feud with the people marked out
for sacrifice. Every movement they made, every word
they said, was misrepresented; the reckless, perhaps
bad, behaviour of a few, whose acts are repudiated by
the mass, were made the excuse to involve the whole
in undistinguished ruin. Such was the course a the
Natives; and the acts of a few prisons set down as
Irishmen and Catholics, but whose political conduct
was denounced by their ceentrymen, red whose irre
ligious practices were disowned by the chutch to which
they professed to belong, were made the apology fur
assaulting the persons and destroying the lives, and
burning the houses awl the churches of men whose
conduct in every relation was above reproach.
But we shall be told that Native Americanism only
looks to political action and results, and does not re
cognise the outrages perpetrated by the Rioters in
Philadelphia, who spent several days in killing Catho
lics and burning churches? The whole course of the
party, its press and its orators,contradicts this assump
tion. If you open a Native newspaper. you will find
it chiefly taken up with false and slanderons attacks
on the Catholics or their clergy—the burden of the lea
dens and the followers is the same—for every word
of argument against the Naturalization laws, you will
sees whole column of these of Irishmen and Catho
lics. The truth is, Nativeism bad its immediate impe
tus from the riots and churchburnings of Philadelphia,
and derives all its force from the spirit of that move
ment. Take from Nativeism its Anti-Catholic char
acter—organize it so that it cannot have the aid of the
'religious bigotry and factional feelings of those
who bring with them from abroad Anti-Catholic pre
judices, and you take from it all its vitality. It is im
possible that any foreigner can have that exalted love
for our soil to which the Native leaders pretend to ap
peal, and on which they affect to base their political
fabric—yet the most prominent 'Natives' are men who
cannot pronounce the name of the party, without be
traying their foreign origin! Con the motives of these
men be pure?
But we have here at home the clearest eridencethet
Nativisin must be sustained, if sustained at all, by re
ligious-prejudice. At the organization of the Natives'
Society in this city their constitution declared that they
would not mingle religion with their movements, and
broadly asserted the largest liberty of conscience. Yet,
the organ of the party, bas from the outset °fits efforts,
directed all its energies to the abuse of Catholics—
and every paper in the city that has spoken favorably
of Nativism, has denounced that religions body. Let
them cut off all who are not influenced by honest po
litical feeling. but by religions prejudice, and their pat
ty will be small indeed.

Though the whip have lost the State by some 3000

hope our friends throughout the State will second them.
We beg you to see all the active men i.a your Coun

your friends also to see and write to all they know, to
go to work at once, quietly but energetically, in

converts as possible. If a man cannot be induced
to vote for /fir Clay, be may be persuaded to promise
not to vote against him and the Tar!, and in favor
