And sighed for pity, as it answered "No."'

1 l.ese trau.ls ha e been detected in tins
city, therefore we warn our friends to guard a-
' gainst them, Dcre(!it everything coming
Ii oi n h whig source, until substantiated Ly in
lormatiou derived from those whose effort will
be not to deceive, but enlighten with the truth.
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.
The associations throughout the I'nion will
be pleased to pay tfie postage on all communi

The following from the Concord, (N. H )
Patriot, is a terrible picture of Federal and Ju
diciary tyranny. Seach the woild over, and its
equal for cold blooded, execrable oppression,
will not be found. 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. The ministers of Charles X. ot France,
after the revolution of tht three days, having
been tried ami convicted of high state olfences,
were confined in a forties-!, w here they were
indulged hi spacious iipirtiin'lits nud tho mot
humane treatment consiMent w:th confinement
So it in w ith fierinau and Atir-tnan prisoners ..f
state how in oiiliiienieiit . W e have lately
seen a statement, that they are allowed to walk
upon the hatt'ement.s ol the fuiln s in which
they are confined, and play upon such m.-'titi-iio'
its as they pleased. Ibit in Klu.de l.-land,
in t'lis nge and generation, we bine the oniv
instance of a prisoner, confined for a polit.cil of
I once, and plunged into a dimal dungeon, smo
thered in ilie fn-ted nir, nnd deprived of light
and the society of his fello .v-nicn. The cowar
dice, the meanness, the contempt ol the name
and principles of liberty, the utter w ant of feel
ing, and the brutality and the depravity ol" the
villains who would make Dorr m id Willi ini.-e-ry,
arc detestable beyond ail forms of expres
sion. Irliio at ) .
No man is a Ihinocriit w ho is low, menu am!
possessing a narrow, contracted spirit. Pride
is an enemy to Democracy, so are t7' jr. De
mocracy is the same in all places a ml at all
times. It reu'iires honesty, integrity, cHpieity,
and inflexibility of pur)K.-e in its followers. It
rejects the cunning, the base, the sordid, the
wicked. It rises above error, exposes sophistry,
and looks around and abroad for ol j . cts of com
iniwseriition. Detnocraev deiiiand-j the ! a 1 1 r 1 1
j of truth, and a dignified, plain exteiior. It de
lights not in pomp and georeoiis lappings. It
looft. to the In art and mind nud not tn the purse
for fo" mini. Its ftandiiid tears l.:e ling of e
ijiiul rights, and its pedestal nts mi the roe Is of
Justice and btnu.inity. It exposes intriguing
and hoary -headed vice to public condemnation.
What a school lor the American patriot we
have in the. study of Democratic principles.
Here the nninl can expiate in ul! Ihe round of
fascination that man and nature luriii.-ii. Here
is the pahiiluiil lor w hich the ancients thirsted,

thod of meliorating man's condition and render

Another Letlrr from Mr. Cln-"Two Ftten
on the Tariff.
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. Pol k is for n Revenue TarilT ; Mr.Ci.AV
i in lavor of a Protective Tariff."
Aga in :
"The true d.llirence is this : (Jov. Polk is in
favor nt u Revenue 'Far. 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. We shall not undertake-its
defence we will leave that to Mr. Clay him
self; nnd he otoir . the nnnr tloctriiic, in the
my It tti r, tn irl.ich llf huvr r.rtracts nre gi

Lancaster meeting, we find the following pas-
sage, which will appear extraordinary to those
who have been rvading the 1 1 bored attempts
made by tie' I', l.-rtl press, and others of .Mr.
