%orate Dtsratcrs.--The articles wr itten .y
sehig editors, since their defeat, are as pungent as
~spiced vinegar. They endeavor to depreciate our
great Acta, as diligently as they Inhered :o pave
'that JsKts hi PoLa was an "übucure and common
Ter.013, " and that to run him for the f residuncy was
pace of laughable impodence,—a "first rate jam"
New, all-this is very-natural, and we are perfectly
willing that the mortified wings shall be us spiteful and
3 ill-natured as they choose, so kreg as they do not per
evert facts and :falsify figines in order to make out
.ugly cases for the Democrats. The New Yolk Tri
bune has •beentiTing this game, and we must bestow
.a slight notice on its efforts.
The Demeoraupboast of Lehman townehip, in Pike
-county, because irgavibut '1 vote for'Claylatid 1 . 52
. cfor Polk. The N Y Tribune insinuates that' the cause
4Ot.this is to be found in the fact that 101 "mate per
•anes,rreet 20 years of age, who can neither read nor
-write" are to'be Antral in 'Pike county; 'lmore than
•-ene-eightb," the ... Tribune says, of the "whole number l
•of voters," in the county, which is about 800. The
-information 'of-the number of nen readers and nun-w ri
:gars in Pike county, slio , Tidsune professes to obtain
'from the returns of' the last census—but we cannot
'find it there—the returassay there are 101 "white
~ persons' who tan neithernead nor write—but does
-rot WA:tennis how many •of these are "'males." So
--winch for Pike county. We hope the Tribune will
--correct this 'Roorbecii, before passing the "story
-.round" any , fursher.
But the Tribarte has some Clary "banner districts"
which it 'field roe -to 'have "passed 0 u nd." They are
-= in North Carolina, and are as follows:
Clay. Polk.

From "M.' Dowell county," (which must have

Randolph county, too, bas a precinct where the
'light of Democracy has never penetrated. The vote
in Randolph county is 318 dem., 1082 whig—whig
--maj. 764. In Randolph county there are 723 -white
persons over 20 who cannot read nor write.
Camden county is a perfect paradise of whiggery—
Ale vote in Camden iti August was 94 dem., 518 whig
\ —showing a majority of 424 for that enlightened
• party. The census shows that 691 white persons aver
20 years ofd eats neither rend nor write.
Thus, it. turns out, that the larger the a big major'-
- ties the more illiterate are the penpie. Will the
Tribune "pass round" this corrected statement? We
have taken more pains to arrive at the truth in this I
matter, because the Tribune is the stmistical paper of
the whig party. No other paper of the runty, pretends
'• to give any like correct figures in election returns or
any thing elite, that-welscovr of.
MALIGNITY OF THE WHIGS.--1 leading character
i.ttic of the whigs is their mean and petty m alignity.
They never have been able to c omprehend nor adopt
any permanent principle or extended scope of policy,
nor can they conceive of any greater gratification than
personally to injure or wound the feelings of any po

It is thus seen that his..claims are various, arid
that he belongs to no party in particular, or.rather. has

support of all.
Besides the above qualifications, we can say, se
riously, that Mr Jaynes is a gentleman, competent

This is MALIGNITY—and, withal, it is false in
character and tendency. We grant that the figures
may be correct--but we deny that in either case they
are express i ve of the unpopularity of the distinguish
ed citizens referred to theirreepective neighborhoods.
I: is true that a majority of votes were given for
Henry Clay its Columbia, but it is not true that they
were given by the citizens of that town; for the de
feat of Governor Polk in his own precinct being one
of the highest points of whig ambition, hundreds of
I their party were induced to go in from adjacent pre.
cincts for this inglorious purpose. It is, therefore, no
evidence of a lack of neighborhood popularity. On
the contrary, it is the best possible evidence that, but
Ifor this incoming of whig voters from other precincts.
Gov Polk would have had a decided majority at the
county seat where he resides.
So with the Hermitage precinct. It has been the
practice of the personal and political friends of Messrs
Bell, Foster & Co., for years, to go from Nashville
and other precincts of this county to the Hermitage
poll en the morning of election, and there cast their
votes. The object is selfevident. It is to give forth
to our country and the world a false impression—se
impressionthat a majority of Gen Jackson's own neigh.
bon are not friendly to him. Contemptible as it is,
those who are in the habit of it, openly boast of their
conduct at the corners of the streets; and theirpresses,
as in this case, controlled by intellects inebriated with
the distilment of malice sad revenge, give voice to the
false impression and exult over it.

Before the meeting adjourned, nine tremendous
cheers were given for the "American Republic."
The Delaware Electorial Vote.—The Delaware
Gazette says the Electorial vote of that State cannot
be cast for Mr Clay. The law of the State requires
"that the inspectors of the several hundreds in each
county shall meet on the day next following the day
of holding an election for President and Vice Presi
dent, at 12-o'clock, at the Court House of their coun
ty, and together with the Sheriff," &c., whilst the
law in regard to the State ticket requires that on the
first Thursday 1107 d after the election. There was no
meeting of the Inspectors in any of the counties of Del
aware on Wednesday last, the next day after the elec
tion, and consequently the three electoral votes of
Delaware cannot be given to Clay and frelinghuysen."
A Whig Caliulation,—Never was a party more
deceived by their papers than the defunct Whig party.
As a specimen of one of their calculation:4, we copy
the following from the New Orleans Bee, published a
few days before the election:
"There stands Mr. Polk's. capital—his stock in
trade. Fifty-two electoral votes. These are all
that can be confidently relied upon by his friends. To
be elected he needs 86 more. Where is he to get
them? New York alone would help him hut little,
(thoughle stands but little chance there:) Pennsylva
nia alooe will do him no good, (though his prospect
there is not particularly brilliant;) Virginia alone would
benefit him but slightly, (though even there he will be
met and discomfitted.) Bet admitting the possibility
of his obtaining them all three, be would still not have
votes enough to elect him, unless he likewise carried
Georgia. Does any man in his senses believe that
James K. Polk will obtain the electoral vote of New
York, Pennsylvania and Georgia? The idea is per
fectly Proposterous. It is more than probable that he
will get none of these States—N 0 NO f ONE."
th-
Henry Clay's own PredistioNs.—Ae give below
as extract from the letter of Henry Clay to the Whigs
of Miesonri:

Grand Procession of the "Natives. "--Yesterday

PROSPECTUS
FOR TRIG
Congressional Globe and Appendix.
These works have such a wide circulation, and have
been so universally approved and sought after by the
public, that we deem rt necessary only in this prospec
tus to say that they will be continued at the next Ns•
skin of Congress, and to state, succinctly theircontents.
the form in which they will be printed, and the prices
for them.
The Congressional Globe is made up of the dnilypro
ceedings of the two Houses of Gongress. The speech
es of die members ate condensed to bting them into a
readable length. All the resolusioei offerede or mo
tions made, are given in the mover's own words; and
the yeas and nays on all the important questions. It
is printed with small type—brevier and nonpareil—on
a double royal sheet, in quarto form, each aumber con
taining 16 royal quarto page".
The appendix is made up of the President's annual
message, the reports of the principal officers of the
government that accompany it, and all the long speech-
PS of members of Congress, written out or revised by
themselves. It is printed in the same form as the
Congressional Globe, and usually makes abhut thesaine
number of pees.
Now there is no source bat the Congressional Globe
an] Appendix from which a person can o b ta i n a full
history of the proceedings of Congress. It is now re
cognized by nosolution as the anthentic report of pm.
ceedings, the earlier volumes basing Leon purchased
for the use of members, and for the Congressional li
brary. Gales & Scaton's Register of Debates, which
contained a history, was suspended in the year 1837,
and has not since been resumed. It cost about five
times as much ft ir a session as the Congressional Globe
and Appendix, and did nut contain any equal amount
of matter, a great portion of the current proceedings
being omitted.
Complete indexes to both the Congressional Globe
and the Appendixare printed at the close of each ses
sion, and sent to all subscribers fur them.
The reports of the Congressional Globe and the Ap. !
pendia are not in the least degree affected by the party
biass of the editors. They are given precisely as writ
ten out by the reporters and the members themselves,
and are subject to the revision and correction of the
speakers.
The approach of a•Congress which will discuss for
the American people all the most important questions'
ever entertained by the national councils, and new ex
tmoidinary measures never before fully ventured upon,
has induced the publishers Of tl c Globe to make great- '
er and better ptepatation than heretofore for reporting
and publishing the speeches and proceedings of the
next session.
All persons who may desire either, or both of these
works, should subscribe for there by the 10th of Decem
ber, else they fail to get them. l'ersims are still sub
scribing for the Congressional Globe forthe last session
of Congress, and we have not been able to furnish a
complete copy of it since early in the e will
send the Congressior.al Globe for t the P reachi n g ap sea'.
Ilion to any person who will retern to as all the num
ben of it for the last session. We usually print dou
ble as many copies as we have subscribers at the corn
mencemant, of,Asession, and then, perhaps, in a few
weeks they will alliseexhausted. We say again, that
those who wont the f:ongessional Globe, or the Ap
pendix, must subscribe and send the stoney fun them
by the 10th of December, else they will not probably
get them.
Persons, subscribing for the Congressional Globe, or
the Appendix, should be careful to name tho Stole
as
well as the post office to whiclt they wish the paper
sent, as there are many post offices of the same name
in different States—Paris, for example. We receiv
ed money from Ports, in one of the Suites, many years
ego, aml we have not been able, up to this day, to
find out from what State it was sent; and the person
who sent it has lost his money. The rules of the Gen
eral Post Office require the postmasters to endorse the
name of the State on every letter, but many of them ne
glect to do it.
Every man in the country who desires to be inform
ed of the public history or the public men of the
country, should rend the debates of Congress. Our
foreign affairs and the domestic concerns of every sec
tion of the country pass under a review in Congress.
Tbe discussions embrace men and things, present and
past history; and the best faculties and highest attain
ments are directed to their elucidation. It is impos
sible to be fitted for the political arena without an in
timate knowledge of the annual congressional debates.
As some persons who may receive this prospectus
may wish to subscribe for our regular papers, through
which we speak, we „twill here state that we publish a
daily paper at $10; al'semi-weekly paper at $5; and a
weekly paper with a complete index to it at $2 a year ,
payable in advance.
Fm the Congressional Globe, $1 per copy.
For the Appendix, $1 per copy.
Six copies of either of the above works will be sent
for $5; twelve copies for $10; and so on in proportion
for a greeter number.
Payments may be transmitted by mail, postage paid,
at our risk. By a rule of the Post Office Department,
postmasters are permitted to frank letters written by
themselves, containing money for subscriptions. -
Tbe notes of any bank, current where a subscriber re
sides, will be received by us at par.
To insure all the numbers, the subscriptions should
be in Washington by the 10th of December neat, at
farthest.
tarNo aiteatiors will be to any order traless toe
