iloutocrats: Look well to your Tickets;
The leer piece of villainy perpetrated by the whig
leaders, is the printing of spstriovs tickets, with which
they hope to cheat the democratic voters on the day
of theelection. The following letter from a highly
•respectable citizen of Monroe county, fully exposes
she meditated fraud.
Dear Sir—The %Olio of Philadelphia. have sent
to this county the following Electoral Ticket. You
will perceive it is a fraudulent one. containing part of
the Democratic Electors, and pan of the Whig Elec

Three packages of these tickets were sent ftomPhil

`.but sines we have seen the above letter, we believe
thaebe•alluded to this spurious ticket, and that they
will have them distributed at every election poll in this'
State.
Every Democrat should be vigilant to detect and
counteract this fraud, and no ticket should be given

ly spent much labor and some money in attacks on
that gentleman. It is probable that Mr ADAMS'. posi
tion as Secretary of State. which bed been regarded
as the surest avenue to the Presidency, made Mr
Clay regard him as most in his way Well, the
election transpirtd, and the man a het is a "head and
shoulders taller than any other in this country," was
signally rejected by the people; be got but 37 electoral
votes, in all the States!
In 1832, HARRY CLAY was again a candidate
for the Presidency. Notwithstanding the whig par
ty had obtained new and "essential aid" in the pros-'
ecution of this campaign from the U. S. Bank—not
withstanding Mr CLAY bad made himself conspicu
ous as the leader of the Bank forces in Congress,
and the issue made was Jackson's Bank Veto—CLAY
was so unpopular, so repugnant
. to the people of
Pennsylvania, that his electors were driven from the
course, and the whip of Pennsylvania voted for We.
WIRT, the Antimasonic candidate for President.—
At that election the people testified their cheap esti
mate of the claims of CLAY by giving him but 40
electoral votes out of 294. Then, neither the money
of the Bank, nor the efforts of corrupt politicians,
could induce the honest Antinmsons of Pennsylvania
to go in for a "Royal Arch Mason," who bad made
himself prominent furhis devotion to the Order.
In 1836, the friends of Henry Clay did not put him
on the track. The whigs, in this contest, only hoped
tobring the election into the House of Representatives,
and with this view they run those who were the most
likely to carry certain sections of the country. EAR-'
Rime was run in the West, Wrasraa in the East.,
and Waal, in the South and Southwest. The un
popularity of the man who is a "head and shoulders
taller," &c. was so notorious and apparent that they
dare not not bring him on the course.
In 1840, he wished-to be the candidate of the
whip, who determined to make a grand and concert
ed struggle to obtain power. The fri of CLAY
came into the nominating Convention at Harrisburgh
in December 1839; resolved to obtain his nomination
in spite of the Antimasons of `Pennsylvania, who, to
htheir disgust of Clay's masonry,ilaii u now cause of
unreel with him in the Compromise Bill, which Mr
Denny denounced so stoutly and so well. In- order to
intimidate the "masonic Clay v7higs;" as (hey called
-his friends, they had previously taken up HeRRIBON
at a State Convention, and declared they would stick
to him. All-will remember bow thephsn succeeded, and
I how the claims of this surprisingly "tall" candidate
were trampled under foot 'brills own friends; what
Mr Clay thought of this signal crudhing-ef his hopes,
in the moment of promised victory, willbe seen From
, the following extract from a letter of his
"My name never again, with my consent, shall be
brought before a convention. I have been most shame
fully treated by men in whose reiterated support, I pla
ced every confidence. When I ascertain it is the wish
of the people to elect me to the Presidency, I will
consent to be their candidate.
With those rues I never will again go into conven
tion • • • But lam too happy, too tranquil, too
comfortable on my farm, free from debt and surroun
ded by domestic felicity and true hearted friends, to
be dragged 'BY KNAVES before the public and my
name used Tor personal purposes."
Well, once more, end for the last time, the friends
ofClay have brougluitim before the people. And his
present nomination,like all the rest he sought, met with
bitter opposition from a large portion of his own party.
He was denounced throughout the country by many
of his party presses, who pronounced his claims insnf•
ficient, and who pointed to frequent defeats as a proof
that be was obnoxious to the people. The anti masons
of this county opposed him,—ran a candidate for Con
gross against his candidate. (and outvoted him too,)
and through their organ,the Gazette, declared that he
was a "duelist," a "debauches," an "immoral and
profane man,"—a "free trade man"—a candidate
"whose name has always been an omen of defeat."
Fstst `RETOB,II.—We understand that the whigs
of this city have made arrangements to express the'
election returns from this and the adjoining counties,
to Philadelphia, so that they can hive them in New
'York .iatiase-frrr the election that takes place in that
State-on the 4th November. Thisis no doubt a sys
tematic plan •to deceive the people of New Work.—
The actual result will show nothing that Ile whigs
should desire to leach th eir , friends in New Work be
`fore their election, for no person has the slightest
doubt but all the western counties will givefona and
DALLAS a much larger vote than Mr SHUAK receiv
, ed. Of course the whigs will not wish to express
1 such news, but they will make up false retinas and
send them into New York where they expect they
will have an influence on the election before any cor
rect information will be received.
We would caution our friends in New York to give
no credit to any returns that may be broughtinto their
state by whig expresses. They may rest assured,
that they will be false, as whiggery cangetno encour
ageMent from the old Keystone.
Has SY CLAY OPPOSED TO PROTECTION.—Every
candid man who wilt examine the course of Henry
Clay on the Tariff question must admit that he is not
only opposed to protection, but that the editor of the
Gazette told nothing more than the simple truth when
he charged him with having "throttled the Tariff."
We copy the following article from the Philadelphia
Keystone. and it will serve to show those who seek
for truth the influence that Clay's measures have had
on the manufacturing interests of the community.
HENRY CLAY OPPOSED TO PROTECTION-
WORSTED, LINENS AND SILKS
By Henry Clay's compromise act of 1832, Worst
eds, Linens and Silks, were made free from duty, as
well as all articles of which silk was the material of
chief value, thereby interfering with the manufacture
of every fabric manufactured in this country of Silk,
Linen or Worsted. We have the opinion, founded
upon the knowledge and experience of 25 years of a
wholesale Dry Goods man, that HENRY CLAY has
shown himself not only unfriendly to the protection of
American manufactures, but opposed to their just and
proper encouragement. The fact above stated speaks
volumes against him, its interference with our menu
factures was a vital blow to enterprise; but the facili
ty it gave to New York smugglers, was still rnere
jut ious, for a million's worth of superfine Cloths and
Cassimeres, were run through onr Eastern Houses,
covered with Worsted Met-lanes, and passed as free
goods for a long time before the frauds were detected.
The whole amount of dutiable articles secreted in
packages, designated in invoices as Worsteds, Lin
ens, or •Silks,was incalculable, and we appeal to the
Custom Houses in 'New York and Philadelphia, satis
fied that the suits and forfeitures at each, will givo '
proof of the ground hens assumed, and that Henry'
Clay is opposed to a tariff for protection.
We are not able to place before our readers at this
time, the amount of worsteds, linens, and silks, im
' ported during the ten years of the existence of Henry
Clay's compromise act, but we boldly assert and chal
ilenge contradiction, when we say, the amount was
enormous, and that for that space of time, we had
and were laboring under a free trade system, more
injurious to the success and encouragement of Ameri
can manufactures of every fabric, made in this coon
try, than at any other period since the revolution;—
and that that system of free trade and encourage- 1
ment to smuggling, was projected by that weather cock
statesman, Henry Clay. By reference to the oct it
self, any man can see the truth of our statements—
and-any man, Democrat or Whig, if he is open to con- 1
wiction, must agree with ue'that Henry:Clay is oppo
sed to the just anti fa* protection of American manu
factures. -Henry Clay in reality, should be - termed
whet he is, the champion of free trade and direct
taxation—for they are the principles, too, of the aid
Federal party, to which he now belongs. Democra
cy and domestic manufactures have always gone hand
in hand, and we appeal to the Republicadjournals for
the last fifty-five years, and to the times of Jefferson,
Madison. Monroe,Jackson and Van Buren, to corrob
orate the fact.
Female Maas Meeting.—We perceive in the Mem
phis Eagle, the call of a Whig Ladies mass meeting,
to be held at Hernend's. The ladies say in their call
—"We are aware of the fact that our position is a new
one, but we hope our enthusiasm has not serried us be.

IN Y Sun.
FOR THI POST
THE DEMOCRACY AWAKE!!
The meeting at Mr Albeitz's on Saturday evening,
was both large and enthusiastic. Mr A Hays Presi
dent; Messrs John Keown, Z Bonham, and JjLehman,
acted as Vice Presidents; and William Befurd and
Wm M'Ellroy, as Secretaries.
Gen J K Moorhead being present, was first called
upon, and addressed the meeting, giving a broad and
unqualified denial to the insinuation in the Pittsburgh
Gazette of last Wednesday, made during his absence
from home, to create a suspicion that be was not a
thorough friend of J K Polk, in consequence of his
interest as a manufacturer in the tariff question. Mr
M. denounced the publication as basely false and un
founded; be expressed the fullest confidence in Mr.
Polk's principles, and a firm conviction that the best
interests of the country demanded his election, and
I declared that no effort should be wanting on his pert
to effect that great object on Friday next, when the
democracy of the Keystone will rebuke the slanders
'and falsehoods of whiggery, in a manner not to be
mistaken.
S W Black, EMI. followed in a spench of considera
ble length, in which be handled Mr Clay's Bank bills,
and his dodging of the Tariff of /842, together with
the hostility of his prominent friends to that measure,
with the ability and pointed sarcasm for which ho is
so distinguished as a popular orator. Mr B drew a
a strong picture of whig morality and consistency, by
placing in contrast their recent abuse of our amiable
-Governor elect, and their present zealous advocacy of !
Mr Clay, for whose expulsion, in common with all
who participated in ilscpilley .tragedy, hundreds of
them petitioned Congress a few years ago. On that
-inhuman outrage and its consequences up to the clo
sing scene—the death a few weeks since of the lady of
the murdered man, Mr B was more than eloquent, and
he made a deep impression on all present. He next
took up the subject of _Native Americanism, •and de
nounced it as a narrow, bigoted, anti-republican ex
citement,which, though a native born citizen, he should
ever oppose; -he avowed his position on that subject to
be known in time, that no one might be at a loss to
know where to find him. The generous, high minded' '
and openhearted character of Mr Black, probably nev-
er -appeared to more advantage,and certainly neverelic
ited more loud, repeated, and hearty rounds of tap
plause than those which greeted him on this occasion.
The meeting was subsequently addressed by Mr.
Heidleberg. Mr .1 Farrel and several other gentlemen
in - German and - English, who reviewed the prominent
points of the present contest, with ability and effect,
during all which the attention of the crowd Jed the
enthusiasm evinced, gave several signs of the confident
and indomitable spirit -which actuates the democracy,
sad urges them on to certain victories.

From the Louisville Courier, Oct. 24
Terabit) Steamboat Disaster.
EXPLOSION OF TUE
LUCY WALKER.
60 TO 80 ins= AND WOUNDED:
Is it with feelings the most acute and painful that
we record the following fearful disaster, and the loss
of so many valuable lives. The steam boat Lucy
Walker, Capt. Vann, left this place for New Orleans
yesterday, c.oaded with passenger.. When about
four or five miles below New Albany, and just before
sunset, some part of her machinery got out of order
and the engine was stopped in order to repair it.—
While engaged in making the necessary, ,repairs, the
water in the boilers got too low; and about five minutes
after the engine had ceased working, her three boilers
exploded with tremendous violence, and horrible and
terrific effect. The explosion was upwards, and that
part of the boat above the boilers was blown into
thousands of pieces. The U. S. snag-boat Gopher,
Capt L B Dunham, was about two hundred yards die-
tent at the time of the explosion. Capt Dunham was
immediately en the spot, rescuing those in tbsr water,
and with his crew rendering all the aid in his power,
to him we are indebted for most of our particulars.—
He infarms us that the Lucy Walker was in the mid
dle of the river, and such was the force of the ex
plosion, that parts of the boilers and the boat were
thrown on shore. Just after the explosion the air
was filled with human beings and fragments of ha
man beings. One man was blown up fifty yards,
and fell with such force as to go entirely through the
deck of the boat. Another was cut entirely in two
by a piece of the boiler. We have heard of many
such heart-rending and sickening incidents.
Before Capt Dunham reached the place where the
L ucy Walker was, he saw a number of persons who
Ind been thrown into the river, drown. He however
saved the lives of a large number of persons by throw
ing them boards and ropes, arid Pulling them on his
boat with hooks. Immediately after the explosion, the
tattiest' cabin took fire, and before it bad been consu
med, she sunk in twelve or fifteen feet water. Thus is
presented theremarkable circumstance of a boat -ex
ploding, burning, and sinking, allia the space of a
few minutes. The screams and exclamations of the
females, and those who were not killed, is represented
as having been distressing and awful. We believe
none of the females on board were injnreil--some, how.
.ever may have been drowned. The books of the boat
were destroyei, and of course it will be impossible ev •
er to ascertain the names or the number of those kill.
ed. There were at least fifty or sixty persons killed
Bed missing, and fifteen or twenty wounded—some
seriously. Capt Dunham left the wounded at New
Albany, all of whom were kindly and well cared fur by
the hospitable and humane citizens of that town.—
Capt Dunham deserves the thanks of the community
for his humane and vigorous exertions to save the lives
of, and his kindness and attention, to the sufferers.—
Ho stripped his boat of every blanket, sheet, and every
thing else .necessary for their comfort.
Mr John Bison and Mr Henry Bebee, passengers
on the Lucy Walker, deserve notice for their coolness
and efficient exertions in saving the lives of drowning
poisons. The following are the names of the dead,
missing, and wounded, so fur as we have been able to
learn them.

An item for the TrOvote.—Recently the Tribune
made a great ado over some advertisement of "Slaves
for sale," in a Mobile paper, of thaMessns Bondurant,
and denounced it as a specimen of Alabama locofoco
ism. The advertisers, however turned out to be
staunch friends of Mr Clay. The last Nashville Ban
ner, the organ of coonery in Tennessee,
contains a pre
position to bet "A NEGRO MAN a nd a Baroueke,
that Tennessee will cast her Dote for Clay." -
What could be more characteristic of the party and
its candidate, than this coupling of two chattels, each
"sanctified as property by two hundred years of legis
lation," and this bragging them on a gambling bee—
We expect next to bear a banter from the Southern
Whigs of a buck-negro to a yellow baby, that the ab
olitionists will•voto for Clay in this State.
Guento.—There havelven so many disturbances
among the vessels at Ichaboe, loading with Guano, in
quarrelling for turns, that a vessel of war has been sent
from St. Helena to preserve order. If war should
grow out of this struggle for manure, i t would be deem.
ed a singular though a fertile cause of quartel.—Sun.
Tke Trade is Guam? (manure from the dung of
birds,) which is at present carried on so extensively,
is not wholly without some manner of precedent in
Scripture. It is said (2 Kings, vi 25,) that during the
Siege of Samaria, the fourth pert of a cab (little more
than half a pint) of dove's dung was sold for five.
pieces of silver—about, twelve shillings smiling. It
is well known that dove's dung is not a nourishment
for man, even in the most extreme famine; and hence
Josephus and Theodoret were of the opinion that it
was bought to serve as a ki id of manure, for the pur.
pose of raising esculent plains of quick vegetation.
