    Tariff /new! Eteltd the Following.
Throughout this contest the whigs have not hesita
ted to greet to every vile paeans that might beve the
effect of gaining a vote fur the cause. They have
their pimps, following the Democrats to catch up their
careless remarks and carry them off to their unpria
cipled presses for publication; they invite deniocmta
to whig ;; houses under the pub of friendship, and the
conversation uttered while enjoying; es they think, the
buspitality of a friend, is carefully doted and retail
ed to the whig printers to'be distorted and presented
in such a mariner as will excite public indignation
against the Democratic candidates. All these efforts,
however, failed in the Gubernatorial election, and as
divelgiug private conversation was nut effective in
that contest, they have adopted a new line of baseness' :
fur the Fresideetiul struggle. A few days since the
Gazette published what purported to be the substance
of a private letter, written by Gen .1 K 111oorte CAN,
of this city, in which the opinion is eepressed that the
election of J K Polk would endanger the manufactu
ring interests of the country. On this divulgement
of a private letter the honorable whigs are electioneer
ing, and they quote it to prove that even the demo
. cm:ic manufacturers have no faith in Mr folk's Tar
iff princiPlrs. From some knowledge of Mr Moor
head's warm desire for the election of the Democratic
candidates, we bud no doubt but this suer n,ent was
nothing better than a new edition of Whig falsehoods,
prepared by those who are willing to concoct and
swear to any lies that would injure the Democratic
cause. The following address to which the name of
Gen Moorhead is appended, will show that we were
right in our impressions, and that the-Gazette's publi
cation of the substunce of his letter, is but another of
their IM'Cutchcon falsehoods.

t' The efforts 61 " the holy suites 01 the M'Outch-
I eettorder are unceasing. They have proved the pu
rity•of their moth*, and righteousness of their caum,
by the affidavits of grog shop loafers, the letters of
degraded priests and various extracts from the writings
of obscene novelists. For some time past, the whig
leaders who manage the Age, have added another ex
pelled Priest to their list of advocates, and yesterd a y,
that journal published a blasphemous article, which it
said Wild the curse pronounced aguiest this Priest, by
the Church, when he was expelled. Nitwamy person
' who will take the trouble to look+nter the pages
of Stetne's isovcl af Tristan SA - and!, will find
that this Hogatictlese has been copied bodily from that
work, the only alterations being the substitution of
the name of Hogan, for that of Obadiah. The
curse in Tristram Sliandy,was pronounced by Dr Slop
against Obadiah, for having tied a hard knal iu the!
bag containing his forceps. That the public may see
how honorable are the means used by these men, in
th it efforts to disturb the public peace, we copy the

Tu TEXAS MlSSios.—The Nashville Union, of the
Is!h inst., says:
"MAJOR Doscxxsox leaves his plantation near the
Hermitage todry—proceedinr, overland in the Mis
sissippi river On hit Way to the Texas Capitol; and we
cannot. but participate in the painful emotions with
which the word "farewell" will be exchanged between
himself and his venerable permit, friend, and relative.
'-the sage of the Hermitage." Inview of the advanced
age of General Jackson it is more than probable that
they may never meet again. A relationship next to
that of father and son, if indeed it be not Finally near
and dear, will be severed perhaps forever. And we
feel fissured that 'milting short of a sense of navy
HIS COUNTRY could have inalisfed an acceptance of
the mission. Nor. for this patriotic reason, would the
AGED VF.TrItAN advise him to decline b." • •
The diplomatic a;ency of this government in Texas
is. rat this moment, the most important mission abroad;
although it ranks with those of the second class. its
high and important duties require the talents of one
evrey wny qualified for the first foreign mission on the
globe. We congratulate the tutninistration on hair
ing been able to secure the servioes of one so eminently
qualified in all respects for the station, whose thorough
knowledge of the relations subsisting between tho two
countries, and whose intimate acquaintance with the
prominent statesmen of this and that government, will
place him in the enjoyment of advat.tages which can.
not fail to secure to us the most desirable results."
17:7The Spirit nf the Times states that since Fash
ion's race with Dick last spring, het coat of satin
cheeenut has become figured with spots of white of the
size of a shilling piece. Reality's color canged in like
manner. The Spirit adds:
Fashion promises to become as speckled as 111 ban
tam owl, and already her color is so singularly chan
ged. that she would be • decided star in the stud of
an equestrian troupe! Mr Laird informs us that there
spots of "purest ray serene" do not proceed fr.nn blis
ters or any bumor, but that they are constantly incise
sing in number although the mare is in robust health.
She was, emphatically the "cynosure of all eyes" on
being stripped. Several gentleman from Canada and
from other distant States; who were present and saw
her for the first time pronounced her a prodigy of horse
flesh.
The Meeting in the Park last Evening.—The
American Republicans had an extremely large meet
ing in the Park last evening. Strung resolution. were
passed against any coalition with the Whip as they
had been villainously deceived in Philadelphia at thu
late election. After their display of fireworks the
procession passed Tammany Hall,- and the Democrat
ic portion of it gave loud, long and strong cheers fur
Polk and Dallas, Wright and Gardiner. After the
procession had passed, some eight or ten thousand peo
ple gathered about old Ta.nmany. and were addressed
by a gentleman from Maine, whose name we do wait
know, Messrs. Nichols, Derry, Eddy, and, Wells.--
The speakees were cheered with an enthusiasm whi •
told that the Whigs cannot bamboozle a single.Demce
crat to the support of a Whig candidate. It was grat
ifying to the Democracy to know that the Whip can
make nothing at tbeit scheme of alliance•—N Y Pleb.
