The federal editors have coined base slanders
relative to the votes of James K. Tolk, touch
ing compensation to revolutionary soldiers and
their widows. The editor of the Ohio Statesman
lias taken the trouble to procure extracts from
thejournal of the House of Representatives, show
ing the falsity of the federal charges. The evi
dence which the editor of the Statesman has col
lected is official and we hete subjoin it :
In House of Representatives, Thursday, April
27, 1820.
The house proceeded to the consideration of
'the bill for relief of surviving officers of the
ARMY OF TIIK RF.X'OLUTION. A motion
was then made by Mr. Mitchell of Tennessee
that the further consideration of the said bill be
postponed until the first Monday in July next.
And the question thereupon being put, it was
decided in the negative yeas '19, nays 121.
JAMES K. POLK voted with the Nays to sus

In connection with the above votes, the editor
of the Statesman gives filenames of several fe
deralits who voted in opposition toCol. Polk, and
aiaimt the interest of the revolutionary soldiers,
one of whom is Mordecai Rarlrly, present whig
candidate (or Governor of Ohio.
lames It. Polk.
Gov. Polk, says the Cincinnati Kiimiircr, was
called homo from Congress in because ho
was regarded as the most popnlnr democrat in
his State to ran against Mr. Cannon, who the
year before had been elected by 20,000 majori
ty, and Col. folk beat him by 5,000 votes. In
110, Harrison carried the Stale by 15,000 ma
jority, and the next summer Col. l'olk reduced
the whiff majority to 3,000. And the last time
lie ran for Congress, no opposition was attempt
ed, for the whips knew that he was invincible,
fl'any other evidences of his popularity arc re
quired, they are at hand, and can be supplied at
tlio shortest notice.
A Vit.n Sr.ANir:itKR. If there is one propen
sity in man more despicable than another, it is
that of retailing shunter. A man guilty of such
contemptible meanness, deserves to associate
with none but felons.
To this class of persons belongs John S. Rich
ards, of the Reading Journal. While in Harris
burg last week, be took gveat pains, in public
bar-rooms, to charge Mr. Muhlenberg with be
ing both a gambler and a drunkard. A more in
famous falsehood never fell from the lips of man.
Mr. Muhlenberg's moral character is wholly un
exceptionable in every respect, and none but a
vile blackguard would attempt to sully his fame.
This Richards, we understand, is a member of
a religions denomination at Reading. If so, be
is a consummate hypocrite, and deserves to be
held up to public scorn and contempt. He bids
fair to out-general either Stonebreaker or Peg
Realty, who took so conspicnoos a pari in the
contest of 1S38. National Enquirer.
Too Goon to an I,osit. At n recent ctvn
mnsfl meeting1, held in Woodstock, Vermont,
one of the orators crew amazingly cloqnent, and
to prove that Mr. Polk was not capable ot filling
the office of President of the United States he
exclaimed at the top of his voice :
"Whoever heard of n woman's naming tier
Fon after James K. Polk V and then made a
long and significant pause, an if inviting an an
swer. "I never did," exclaimed a beautiful Demo
cratic lady in the crowd, who hud been married
about six months previous, but I know one who
intends to .'"
Good.
Soon after the publication of Mr. Polk'dTar
if letter, a gentleman in Pittstwrg came up to
a knot ot whigs with a United Stales Gazette
in his hand, from which lie rend that document
as coming from Clay, They were delighted
they declared it was the 'very thing,' it con
tained the 'true doctrine' a tariff for revenue
was what they wanted Polk dare not come
out that way, &c, fcc. After hearing theao
very flattering opinions of the letter, the rea- I
er of it suddenly discovered that he had made
a small mistake in reading the signature at its
end that those excellent opinions on the tariff;
were from the pen of James K. Polk, the dem
ocratic candidute for President ! It was really
amusing to see the distress and vexation ofthe
poor coons when they attacked the letter, and
tlio wed conclusively, that, with tlieui, what
was 'good tariff doctrine from Clay, was rank
tVec tradeism it coining from Polk.
Trim unit Mexico.
From a distinguished correspondent in Mexi
co. You may expect from Mexico a
tremendous and final effort for the reduction of
Texas during the fall and winter. General San
ta Ana is conscious that now, or never, must
Mexico regain her lost supremacy, and every
nerve will be strained to get up on overwhelm
ing army of invasion. There can be no doubt a
bout the intentions of President Santa Ana.
Once subjugated, Mexico will part with Texas
either to England or to the United States on easy
terms. It is not the territory she values, but it
is essential to her honor to make good her rights
over Texas. If there is an invasion hat will
the citizens of the United States do ? Volunteers
from the United States fought the battles of
Texas in l'stti they took for the, Texans San
Antonia and Goliad ami then they were left by
the Texans, naked and starving, to hold and de
feud those posts for months ; they did not even
attempt to aid them when they were invaded by
the Mexican foices. Of the thousand men who
fell in the revolutionary struggle in Texas, at
least nine hundred were volunteers who poured
into her aid from the United States. It is said
that the moment their services were no longer
necessary to the existence of Texas, these volun
teers were treated with the greatest indignity.
If this tie true, it is probable not many new vol
unteers will be found to take forts for the Tex
ans on such payment. Texas will be attacked
both by sea and land very suddenly. Galveston
will be, in all likelihood, the great sufferer. The
government here has not been so well provided
with the material of war at any time for the last
seven years. Artillery, muskets, fcc, &c, plen
ty, and of the best quality. Depend on it, a tor
nado is ready to burst upon the Texans." N Y.

The Mormon Temple. One of the editors
of the St. Ionis Reveille, having lately visited
Nauvoo, thus speaks of the new Mormon tem
ple :
The system upon which this temple bus been
building is the exaction ot lubor every tenth day
from every man who cannot purchase bis ex
emption from the task with money. - It will be
if ever finished, a very imposing looking edifice.
It stands in a high and commanding position, a
promini't object riveting tho btrangers's eye at
once, and, upon neur inspection, the style ut'ur
chitecture is found to he more than commonly
I attractive, from its singularity. . It is lrk no-
How it Wouks. The chief of the Post-office
Department rently forbade all railroad agents
and others to carry Mr. Wells, the unofficial mail
agent, over their respective lines. When about
to carry this direction of the Postmaster General
into execution, a few days since, at Rochester,
Mr Wells very quietly drew from his pocket an
injunction restraining the company from leaving
Rochester without him, under a penalty of 10,
000, and succeeded in compelling the company
to convey him over their road, despite the go
vrrnmei't prohibition.
thing else; and unless we may be allowed to
designate it as the Mormnnic order, it certain
ly bus no name at all The stone is ot excel
lent quality, quarried in the neighborhood, and
very good mechanics have been at work upon
it. The massive caps of the column are ulrea
dy curved from huge blocks, bhowmg a gigan
tic round human face like a broad full moon.
Tlio columns are made to rest upon crescent
moons, sculptured ou the face of the stone, test
ing with the horns down, and with a profile of
eyes, nose and mouth upon the inner curve.
What idea this is meant to convey, we could
not learn, though the impression is irresistible
that the church is built up upon moonshine.
J ErFERso.s'H Opinion or Newspapers. in
a letter to a friend he said, "Were it left to me
to decide, whether we should have a govern
ment without newspapers, or newspapers with
out a government, I should not hesitate a mo
ment to prefer the latter. But I should mean,
that every man should receive those papers
j and be capable of reading theiu."
A Ci.rnr-ru.vN Dhownpd. The Rev. Mr.
Dyar, of the Episcopal Church, late of White
hall, was accidentally drowned at the "Chasm of
the Ausable," (High Bridge,) near Keeseville, N
Y., between live and six o'clock in the afternoon
of the first instant. Mr. D. went from Koese
villo with a small party to see the falls. Some
poles had been thrown across from the table rock
to the opposite side of the chasm, near the wa
ter, over which Mr I) attempted to walk with
a young lady ; sho became diz.y and fell, but
was seized by a man who accompanied the par
ty, and rescned. Mr. I). , in on attempt to save
the lady, lost his balance, fell into the rapid cur
rent, and was immediately swept out of sight.
His body hail not been recovered on the 2d inst.
Some of the citizens of Lineaster, Wiscon
sin Territory, the other day while digging for
the f'onndalion of a large brick stuble, encoun
tered the ends of sornu roots pointing upwards,
which are unquestionably the roots ofa Banyan
tree, that have stuck through the globe from
India, or somewhere else on "t'other side." Af
fidavit's are promised "next week."
An Onn Vocation. The following appears
