We do not hesitate to say that the election re turns which have been, and are being publish ed in the Democratic papers of Washington can bo relied on by our friends for any purpose. They are as accurate as unofficial returns can possibly be, sonic of which, from whig papers. The official return will be published in the Washington papers as Boon as they are received. When the organization proposed by this notice is complete, the facility for getting the correct returns will be such as is desired. We appeal to the democracy of those sections of country where no aetuciaUuiis ex let to forthwith oroau- ize and report in accordance with the above. ' We must not despise the enemy however cor rupt or weak they may be; hut knowing them to be weak and corrupt should make us more vioilnnt and active to puard against the unfair and unjust means to which they will from ne cessity reeort to cover their weakness. We can ccsitre our friends that we have no doubt Polk and Dnl'us will be elected. We must, nevertheless do our duty. We make the ap peal with another view : that channels may be established through which we con dcvelope to the American people one of the most corrupt and villainous schemes ever concocted by any party which lias been set on foot by whijjijery to subjugate republican liberty, and bring our institutions down to the tootstoul of the tyranny of the Old World. We do not tear the scheme. Its exposure will not only defeat its object, but will overwhelm the men and the party who conceived, and are attempting: to mature it, in infamy so deep that the friends of civil and re liirioti.i liberty throughout tlie world, to the remotest fenerations, w'ljI execrate their very names. When the organization is complete the exposure will bo made, and their plan ren dered abortive. Therefore organize organize forth with North, South, Fast and West. . 1 S. This is to give notice to the Democra cy, thattho whig central committee in this ci ty are publishing documents purporting to show the votes of Mr. Polk, which, in fact, if they do not in all cases actually falsity his votes, suppress some of the facts connected therewith, and thus give n false aspect to them. It will he the duty of the democratic party in every section rif the country to discredit tiuso docu ment, denounce them as vile whip slander?:, ns they are, ask a suspension of public opinion,' and write immediately to Washington to the executive committee of the democratic associ- at ion to send the real tacts in each case, to be derived from the Congressional archives, as an- ihentieatfu by the Clerk in the cli'iro of them.

What ! has it come to this that for the free expression of puliticul opinions, a man is to he immured in a dungeon, the liglit of heaven almost denied him, the intercourse of triends prohibited, and all the degradation of the felon heaped upon him with infernal industry ! Such is the tact. And in dee America in the nineteenth century, is this revolting tragedy en acted ! Let the press speak out in deep and deeper tones or indignation agniust this rmil wrong : Argux. The OpprrRHlon of Dorr. The treatment of the upright Dorr by his op pressors in Rhode Island, is drawing forth fn m every lover of liberty, deeperund deeper execra tion. The history ot no despotism in Europe is stained by more inhuman cruelty and deliber ate malignity. Dorr is confined in n Fina'l room, with damp walls and floor of granite. The only avenue of liglit and air is from an o- pening above, through which he iniy peer and catch a glimpse of the sky, or perchance, in the solitary, weary night, by dint of watching, glad den ins sight wita the view ot a star. He is allowed to hold no intercourse with any person, either verbally or in writing. His keepers sul lenly push hi fare to him through a hole, just large enough for the piirHise. There he is left to wear nut the Udions hours, by day, in the frivolous employment of making tans, and by night in the gloomy contemplation of the ma lice, the barbarity and tyranny of his oppressors. He is doomed to solitary confinement, mid this discipline, according to a statement made by the Warden of the Rhode Island dungeon tothe Chaplain of our State Prison, a few weeks since in Concord, produces insanity in eviry fouith prisoner. The Algerine dungeon is so desti tute of comfort, so nuked of humanity, so terri ble in its effects upon the mind, that one out of every four prisoners is punished by the inflic tion of insanity ! What a riinile of piinii-hmcut is tha which visits upon the subject the calam ity ot robbery of reason ! The Fnglish mon archy dares commit no such outrage. O'Con hell has large unci uiry rooms, and is permitted to see and converse with nud correspond with friends.

We are indebted to the Philadelphia Inqui rer for the full proceedings of the great Whig Meet ng nt Lnucustcr on the "jib. There ai jiears, tioui all we can learn, to have been about lour thousand persons in attendance, nnd that too in a county which gave (Ion. Harrison KKHIofa majority. Numerically speaking, it was a decided failure : notwithstanding the In telligencer, of this place, with singular want of discretion, claims that there were twenty-five or thirty thousand in attendance ! 77if event of Ihe day, seems to have been the reading of .Mr. Clay's letter to Mr. Clayton. We find it incorporated in the speech of the lat ter gentleman, ond great stress seems to be laid upon it to prove that Mr. C. is a Protective Tar ifl'uiau. The ep sile is evidently intended for Northern consumption, but the blundering man ner in which Clayton manages the thing, ex poses the artifice ; and we would ask no better electioneering document Jgainst tlu Dictator, than the speech ol John M. Ci. avion with tho accompanying documents. The object of the letter nnd the intention of the Fpeaker arc con cealed behind such n flimsy screen that he who runs may read. In the appendix tothe speech of the Dela ware Senator, we find the following paragraphs, definii g Mr. Clay's position ns antagonist to Mr. 1'oi.k. Speaking of their Tariff doctrine, the appendix says : H!.iv. Polk has not changed". If Mr. Ci.at has changed, it must have tie. 'll very lately. Here then is the true issue : (inv.

If; Mr. Clav is ill fa vor of a Protective Tariff." The object of the above extracts, and they arc but lew of a greut number of the same char acter, appears to be to prove that while Mr. Clav advocates peremptorily the doctrine of Protection, his opponent (inv. Poi.k, is opposed to Protection, liir Protection's sake, and in fa vor of i Revenue Tu rill, in which incidental protection shall be afforded. 1'vcry effort is made to make this latter doctrine appear as o dains as possible.

Polk a Revenue man. leit ri ad : "I'.YKUY Wlir.liF. THF CRY IS FOR a tariff for rf.vf.nff. with dis. criminations for proit.ction."
