PROPHETS.
The Boston Atlas of March 4, 1341, has the fol
lowing prophecy in relation to Henry
"One year from this day, the Hon. Henry Clay of
'Kentucky will enter upon his official duties as Presi
dent of the United States. Mr. C. will receive the
votes of the following states, certainly: Massachu
setts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Vermont, New
Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, North
Carolina. Georgia, Mississippi, Louisiana, Ohio, Ken-
Tennessee, Indiana, and Michigan. These
states cast 170 electoral votes. Besides these states,
'however, there is full an equal chance that Mr. Clay
will receive the votes of Maine, New York, Virginia,
'lllinois, and Missouri. ihese will increase our
Whig vote co 243. There will then only-remain four
-- states, casting 2!) votes: New liainp!thire, labama,
Arkansas, and South Carolina.
"If it is the pleasure of an all-wise Providence to
spare his life, HENRY CLAY will be the President
• of the United States; in just one year from this day."
One would suppose that in Puritan New England,
, a man could hardly have been found so good at the
-game of brag. It shows the political sagacity of the
Whig party generalh; and likewise the kind of hallo
-eination that has cliarmed, like the delusive song - of
the enchantress, thousands into the belief that it was
impossible for any other man to be President than
Henry Clay. The Whig paper at Massillon, imme
odistely after his nomination, after predicting that he
would receive the vote of more than twenty states,
runs on thus: "Mr. Clay left Washington on the 13th
'(May) for his residence in Ashland, where be will
remain until his country calls him, on the 4th of March
nest ' to the White House at Washington!" These
-sentences read well, truly; but the people have decided
that they would rather he would stay where he told
Mr. Polk to go--"At home, where be belongs."

"these journalists now engaged? Instead of extracting
wisdom from the fully of the past. they are beginning
already to perpetuate fresh absurdities, and to commit
new follies. In the midst of a prosperity that will

PITTSBURGH, MONDAY, NOV ENIB
CAN THEY SELL TOEXT- -- IE i said that the wing
leaders, fiuding that the mass of their Tony will not go
in heartily fur the Native Nomination for Mayor, in
tend to make a mock nomination for the office—take
up somebody or other and keep him in the field till
the election, and then choke him off, if Nativism pro
mises to bo formidable. This is excellent—but can
they traffic in-the whig followers as if they were so
many cattle—and can they find a man of straw who
will consent to lb: used by the friends of Mr Jaynes?
DEVICES OE THE Es etar.--Profiting by the lime of
the Gazette, the Nativesere making largepteparations
to entrap the Democrats. They have taken up a can
didate fur Mayor, and reany other offices, and every
nominee is a rabid C r-w hig. This is a grand stroke
of policy, and must have magnificent. results. The
men that made the ticket take it for granted that the
Democrats who have just been fighting hand to hand
with these very Native nominees, under tho name of
whig - s, the most desperate contest ever fought in this
county since lEoo,—will rush in a belly to_ vote fur
them under their new organization. Ask any of these
Native nominees if they are less whigs than ever they
were, they will tell you No. They a e,heretofore,Bank
men, and Distribution men, and in short, as bitter in
their whig predilections as ever, yet their cunning nomi
nators think the Democrats will vote fur them because
1 they have added the odious ides of Nativism, to their
peculiarly loathsome creed !,
.Ttsszasai.--The result in ibis State is still untie_
cided, but we think there is no reason to doubt but the
official vote wilt show that it has gems for Clay. The
Union of the 16th says: "The returns from this
State are still incomplete; and •the vote so far is so
close that it will be impossibl for ns to tell who has a
majority until we can get the official returns. We do
not believe the majcrity will be more than forty for
either party."
- The Gazette (a neutral paper) of the same date
says: Tennessee may be set down for Clay by a small
majority. The exact returns v. ill plobably be known
by Christmas .
We williingly concede Tennessee tothe w higs; it is
glory enough fur the democrats to have reduced the
overwhelming majority that State gave the federal
candidate in 1840, to a mere handful. Tennessee has
done nobly, and at the next state election we have no
doubt but the Democtrats will elect their candidates by
t a large rnajotity.
Ur Some days since, the Gazette said that Mr Polk
practised card.playing, dueling, swenrpag and horse
racirg in common with Henry Clay. We pronounced
this statement false so far as Mr. Polk was concerned.
and called on the Gazette to produce its proof that Mr.
Polk is addicted to any of the vices of which it admits
Clay to be guilty. But that journal is profoundly
silent on the subject, it has sent forth the slander upon
Mr. Polk, and the pious Deacon cannot be induced to
do anything that would counteract its effects upon the
public mind.
We again call upon him fur the proof that Mr Polk
practices cardplaying, swearing, duelling, &c., in
common with Henry Clay; or, if he has no ground for
the charge, we demand a retraction of the foul san
der. The Deacon must not expect that we will let this
falsehood slip; before he is done with it we will teach
him not to class leading Democratic Statesmen, wjth
the 'bullets and baggers,' and the High Low Jacks
of whiggery.
Commendable Perteveranee.—Pn the 30th Octo
ber last, a young man named Stephen Morey, hired at
the iivety stable of Mr 4 S Miller, a horse and cut
ter to go to Lodi. At Boston, finding the sleighing
hard, he swapped the cutter for a buggy. and thence
went to Ellicotville, where be swapped away the
horse. Not returning at the time agreed upon, inqui
ries were made by which the above facts were ascer
tained. Officers were put upon the track, and consta
ble L f 1 Williams soon found the trail, which ho perse
veringly followed until he overhauled the rogue at Pitts
burgh,and safely lodged him in jail in this city yesterday
We mention these facts because they exhibit commen
dable perseverance. The expense of bringing the
thief to justice has been greater than the value of the
propetty stolen, but Mr Miller very justly though it
his duty to show the hoists thieving gentry that their
trade could not be successfully carried un in this quarter,
and i fall others whose property is stolen would show e
qual perseverance, such thefts would be of rare occur
rence. The belief that people will put up with their
loss rather than incur the expense of recovering their
rroperty and punishing their offender, doubtless en
courages roguesin their vocation.—Bob r ato Com.
We saw this gentleman in Pittsburgh the day after
the first returnairn New York had reached town.—
W e heard him Oita Sunday morning informing a re-'
spectable whig citizen, that the report of the whir
having lost 1300 votes in Erie county, was a "d—d
no-such a thing," be had just came from there—he had
been born there, and the loss was only 150, and Clay
had carried the State by 5000. This statement was
corroborated by a very short and very thick compan
ion, who sported a very red nose. Our whig friend ex
claimed, 'is it possible.'pnd went on his way in a much
better humor apparently than lie had been for the prtl
vious twenty-four hours.
The next thing we heard of the gentleman from
Erie cottnty, was that he had sold his horse to the
keeper of i.livery stable in this city, and had hired a
hack to carry him to Bridgewater, where he found
• • • •
some friends who gave him every pressing invitation
to return to the "place where he was born," and where,
in all probability, he will die and be buried at the ex
: nse of the State, if he does not mend his ways.
UNITED STATES SENATOR.
As the Hon DANIEL STURGEON'S term of service
in the Senate expires on the 4th of March next, the
question of the succession is more or less discussed
in many of the Democratic journals. A correspon
dent in to day's Union warmly urges the re-election
of Dr. STURGEON, and enforces his ‘iew> by some ve
ry cogent reasons.
The Venangn Democrat, on the other hand, urges
.TAMES R Sanwo Ka . , Esq., of that county, the late
able and efficient Speaker Of the House of Repre
sentatives.
jj.sott M'CANDLEss,Esq., of Pittsburgh, is warm
ly suNtorted in other quarters.
The Huntingdon Globe contain,' an article, enfor
cing the claims of Hon Gcottox W W. 03DWARD of
Lucerne county.
In the Clarion Democrat we observe a communi
cation in behalf of Hon Jontt Bitente, President
Judge of thozourts of Butler county.
As Mr Bucnassx is from the East, it is conceded
that the other Senator should be taken either from the
West or North.—Laisc.
The Lady of Mr Polk, the President elect, is said
to be the handsomest, most amiable and most exem
plary of her sex in the United Stet's. Out readers
may recollect in General Jackson's administration, a
Miss Leiria, of Tennessee, who, with Mrs. Donaldson,
did the -honors of the General's establishment. Miss
E. subsequently became Mrs.-Polk, the marriage hav
ing been solemnized in the "Presidential Mansion."
She will now be the 'lady" of the White House—
the presiding divinity—herself, and will no doubt add
much to the elegance of that establishment.

THE PEDIGREE OF WHIGGERY.
We publish bolow an article extracted from an old
paper which traces the relationship and lineal descent
of modern Whigery to ancient Federalism, which ma
ny of our forefathers held to he but another name for
torOsm. The argument of this extract is sound and
unanswerable. F•"r political opinions are the heir
looms of families and of particular districts; in these
parts of the country where tor) ism abounded during
the revolutionary war, Federalism predominated in
1799, and Federal Whigery in 1844. [Keystone.
DEMOCRACY AND FEDERALISM.
It is quite laughable to hear some of the disciples
of Modern Whiggery talk about Democracy—their
Democracy—their attachment to the principles of Jef
fer4on, and their claim to the title of Democratic
Whigs. They are, however, the genuine offspring of
old Federalism, as their deeds and leading measures
as most conclusively show: and in this Stave wherever
Federalism flourished most in '99 in such Clean place.
we now find Modern Whiegery in its greatest greatest
strength ; and wherever Democracy was in the ascen
dency at that memorable period, we still find it ineven
more ;Altar its at cient strength,--lif will appear by the
following returns ref the election for Governor in 1799,
taken from the Harrisburgh Murgenrothe, dated 12th

Suicide.—Bridget !tennis, a chambermaid at the
United Slates Hotel in this city, poisoned herself with
arsenic yesterday morning and died at about 11 o'clock.
She came to this city from Erie some three or four
days since. She had been employed at the Reed
House, in Erie, before coming to this place, and while
there got married to a man from whom however shg
was soon separated by jealousy. On Sunday evening
she received a letter informing her that her hu-hand
had married again. This caused her w much distress
of mind that she resolved to put an end to her life,
and did so in the manner mentioned above.

Departure of Emigrants for Liberia.—The
brig Chipola, Captain McLennan, chartered by the
Maryland Colonization Society, left her moorings at
Fell's Point, on Monday afternoon, says the Balti
more Sun, with a large party of emigrants for the
Society's Colony on the Coast of Africa. They con
sisted
of men, wernen and children, and appeared to
be perfectly happy and contented with the new scene
of life. preseuted before them. Thirty-seven of the
emigrants were freed by Mr. Wilson, of Ky., who
was pcesent and bid each of them an affectionate
adieu. - There were also twenty-seven on board who
were freed by the last will and testament of Miss
Harriet 13. Tompkins, of Va., who were accompa
nied to the wharf by the brother of their departed
mistress. The Rev. Henry B. Goodwin, of Va.,
who liberated a large portion of the emigrants who
sailed in the Latrobe last year, had also added two
more to the number, one of whom was a hard) look
iag old Tall, about 75 years of ago, who as the ves
sel the wharf hallowed to his master to try and '
persuade the old woman (his wife) to come out neat
year. There were also several on board who had vol
untarily offered themselves to the society as emigrants.
The Major General of Liberia, who had resided in
the colony about fifteen years, a hearty, hale speci
, men of the health of that country, was also on board
on his return to his adapted land, from avisit to the
friends of his youth. The wharf was crowded with
spectators, and as the vessel left three cheers were
:iven, which were loudly answered by those on board.
From Nasiitis, P. P.—The schooner Herald at
New York, in 11 days front Nassau,brings intelligenof
that two shocks of an earthquake were felt on the 20th

on board the ship. The gale of the6th ult. was severe
at St. Domingo ; much damage was done to vessels
in the harbor, and three square rigged vessels were
lost on the coast nenr Gonaives. Two were undertha
Spanish flag and the other ',British brig. Names un

Tar The Concord FteenuM'relates the follow
ing circumstance relative to young midshipman Cilley
being ordered to the Constitution:—
"On arriving at Norfolk, he learned that Mr. Wise
Was to go out in the Constitution; and immediately,
without consulting with any one, he started for Wash
ington, called on the Secretary of the Navy, and de
dared that he would not serve on hoard_ the ship in
which Mr. Wise was a passenger, and avowing his
readiness to resign his warrant, ratlw.r than do so.—
' Th e Secretary appreciated the feelings of the youth.
and, after paying the expenses el his journey, appoint
ed him to another vessel. This conduct shows that
young Cilley is of a determined character, and that
his words du but express the sentiments of his heart."

Letting it come out.—Whitnell P. Tunstall, a lead
ing Whig in North Carolina. at a barbecue recently
riven near Milton, in that State said;
"Now, gentlemen, I am about to make a bold as
sertion. It is in me, and must come out.. I wish the
Constitution of the United States was altered, and
the word President, wherever it oceare in Alla instru
ment, stricken out, and the word KING inserted in
its plug"
The Milton Chronicle, a Whig paper, speaking of
this speech, thus glorifies its suitor:
"Whigs of the old North State ! Remember the
usmeof WhitnellP. Tunstall! Cherish it with fond
ness and lively enthusiasm in your memtrry'l loin us
in retorting him thanks for his noble defence of
WHIG PRINCIPLES on Thursday last, for he did
you good! Is yaw name and in our name we thank
him!
This is Whiggery in full bloom? This is FED
ERALISM. It shows that modern Wbiggery and
lold Federalism are ONE.' The sentiments of this trai
tor Tunstall, express in a little plainer language what

Riot and Murder.—A most disgraceful riot oc
curred in Jonesboro:nigh, Tennessee, as we learn from
the Tennesseo Sentinel Extra, on ;he evening of the
sth inst., in which a young man by the name of Tay
lor was killed. This riot was instigated by Brown
low, the editor of the Jones - borough Whig. It ap
pears that this 13rownlow became exasperated at the
shouts which the democrats gave, who had assembled
to bear the news of the elections over the democratic
triumphs, and that he exhotted the whigs (who had
assembled) to arm themselves with .pistols, stones
and dirks, and march through the democratic ranks.
They took up their line of march accordingly, marched
some distance, when they halted. From that point
they returned, armed with stones, &c , bullied, black
guarded and dared the democrats to come down
from the porch, to engage with them in a recomre.
The leaders of the democratic party used their ef
forts to suppress the riot, told them to leave, and
have no difficulty, but they would not. A quarrel en
sued, during which a stone was thrown by some whig
at one of the democrats, whom it missed, and suit&
young Tay/or on the head, and killed him. •

ties were so remarkably good, that nothing on the
coast in the shape of a sailing vessel could overtake

she was newly coppered and rigged at every voyage
she made. On her return from a very successful

Superstition of the Chinese.—The disturbances
which occurred not long since at Canton, owed their
origin to the singularly superstitious credulity of the
Chinese populace; the circumstance is rel.'ted by the
Hong Kong Register as follows: "It appears that
much sickness has of late prevailed in the Island of
Human, ao the south of Canton. During the period,
the wind had kept steadily to the south, so that the ar
row, placed as a vane °tithe top of the recently erected
flag staff, continued printing in that direction. The
superstitious people considered that the arrow was
exercising some deleterious influence upon the health
of the community, and threats were conveyed to Mr.
Forbei,the consul,thut itwould not be allowed to remain.
Unwilling to contend against such a feeling, orders •
were given to remove the arrow, and, while the top
mast on which it was fixed was being lowered, the
mob rushed in. and, seizizing the ropes, let it down 'with
a run,' and at the same time commenced breaking the
tailings of the garden and flower pots. The Ameri
cans in a body repelled them, but they are still dis
posed to create disturbance, on the ground that, though
the arrow has been removed, the iron rod on which It
was mounted, and the letters indicating the cardinal
points, still remain."

WoßillY F R lEND:—Having made a thorough trial
of the Medicated Vavor Bath for four months past, in
our societies in New Lebanon and Watervliet, we think
it but justice to state, that we consider it a valuable
Improvement in the healing art. Its power in reduc
ing both chronic and acute intimation, also in remov
ing spasms, is certainly very great.. In cases of ob
structed perspiration, it is unquestionably the safest
sod best remedy that we have ever seen. Several
persons in our society, who were scarcely free from a
catarrhal affection during most of the winter numthe
for several years past., have found permanent relief by
using the Bath a few times; and the predisposition to
take cold, as it is commonly tvemed, s e ms
to be
who
removed. Obstructed perspiration, is certainly in
ear changeable climate, one of the most fruitful sour
ces of disease, and any remedy that is capable era
moving the predisposition to it, must be considered a
great blessing to twinkled; and aq ..uch we do not bed.

Medicated Vapor Bath.
