The Whigs of Monroe are called upon to as semble in County meeting, at the Court House in Stroudsburg, on Tuesday erening next, to respond to the nominations of Clay, Freling huysen, and Markle, and to adopt such mea sures as may be deemed necessary to adrance the interests of the Whig Party. It is highly desirable that there should be a large turn out of our friends on this occasion. The campaign is now fairly opened ; our opponents are in the field; the election is drawing nigh, and it be hooves us to be up and doing. We hope, there fore, ihat our friends will not he found wanting on Tuesday next, but come 10 the meeting in their strength, determined to do their utmost to secure the triumph of correct principles. A number of excellent speakers are expected to he present and address the Meeting, among whom, are Alexander E: Brown, Eq. of Eas ton, Presidential Elector for this District, and Charles Gibbons, Esq. of Philadelphia, Presi dent of the National Clay Club. The Bnckeye Blacksmith. This remarkable personage, who it tucb an eye-sore to the Locos, and who made more stump-speeches in 1840, than any other nan in -the country, is now in Philadelphia, and ad dressed several meetings there during the past week. He has just reached ihe City from the South and South West, where he hai been stumping it for Clay, with marked success, for several months past. Hie speeches are highly lauded by all the papers. " The Ration i Rising." It is not only spirit-stirring, but also oul-in-; goring, to open our exchange papers, and see (ho numerous and glowing accounts of Whig meeting with which they are filled. There is hardly a nook or corner in our wide extended country, which is not lighted up with the Har mon fire of 1840, and in tome places the flame hums even more brightly than it did then.. , .New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Dela W8ie, Ohio, and nearly all the Eastern, Wes tern, and Southern States, are alive. The best i-jttfkers are out; and whererer they can do so, tjue.Whigs are meeting their opponents on the u,hij; Every thing promises fair, The par ty is beginning to be thoroughly aroused, and that is all we want to secure a splendid Victory. Tyler and Annexation. A domestic treaty was entered into on Wed nesday morning last, between John Tyler, Pres ident of the United States, and Miss Julia Gar diner, of Long Island, New-York, which was ratified by the Right Reverend Bishop Onder donk, of 'that State, in the church of the Ascen sion. The lady is about 25 years of age, and daughter of the late Col. Gardiner, who was killed by the explosion on board the Princeton in February last. The annexed couple have repaired to Washington, and will soon proceed to the Rip Raps, in Virginia, to pass the Honey Moon. A Compliment to General fllarkle. A fine Military Coips has been organized in Philadelphia, and in honor of the Hero of Mis sissinnewa, is called " The Markle Rifles.1 The company has already been inspected, is fully equipped, and promises to become one of the best among the City volunteers. The Treasury Department. This important department of our govern ment, which has been without a head since April last, when Mr. Spencer resigned his Sec retaryship, has been very unexpectedly filled, by Chancellor Bibb, of Kentucky, accepting his appointment, which was made?nd confirmed previous to the adjournment of Congress. Louisiana. The annual election for Members of the State Legislature, and also an election for four Congressmen, took place in this State on Mon day last, the 1st insi. The news of the result, will be looked for with considerable anxiety, by both parties. Last year, the Locos elected all four of the Congressmen; but this year, un less the question of Annexation has hurt us, we shall look for better things. In consequence of ibis State adjoining Texas, and many of the Texas Bonds, and much Texas Land Scrip, be ing owned by her citizens, she may have been led astray by the cry of Annexation. Whether she has been or not, we will be able to an nounce next week. He has Accepted. Mr. Polk has formally accepted the nomina tion made by the Loco Foco National Conven tion, and has forwarded his acceptance to the Committee appointed to inform him of his nom ination. He professes himsell favorable to the One Term principle ; but will be obliged to come down to the No Term one, as far as he and the Presidency are concerned. Let it be Remembered, That James K. Polk is opposed to the excel lent Tariff Act of 1842, and to all Protection of American Industry. Also, that George M. Dallas, introduced a Bill into the Senate of the United States 10 re-charter the U. S. Bank, and voted to pass it by two-thirds, after Gen. Jack sen had vetoed it. Dorr Sentenced. This notorious individual, who caused so much trouble and alarm in Rhode Island, two years ago; hai been sentenced to confinement in the State Penitentiary, for the term of his natural life. An impressive lesson to all dem agogues, to restrain their ambition within.law ful limits. On the Stump. The Hon. Charles Naylor, of Philadelphia, who has abstained from a participation in all political meetings since 1840, has again taken the stump, and raised his eloquent voice in fa vour of the peoples candidates, Clay, Fre linghuysen and Markle. State Senate. Twelve Senators are to be elected at the next general election, in place of the following gentlemen: Philadelphia city Mr. Spackman, (Whig.)' Schuylkiil, &c. Mr. Hughes, (Dem.)

Tables Turned. The rearse and blasphemous language at tributed 10 Henry Clay, (which have resounded through the columns of the Loco foco prints ) Go home, God d n you," fie-was uttered bv C. C.

Thus it is that these desperadoes procure ail the .blasphemy of their parly and endeavor to cast ii upon the head of the nob e-iiunded. fcname L bhame ! SEE THEM COMING ! Get out of the way you're all unlucky, Clear the way for old Kentucky. Stand Clear I Here they Come!! 15 At a Haul!! We lean from an authentic source this morn ing that FIFTEEN members of the old Van Buren party in this city, have openly proclaimed their purpose not to vote for free trade candid ates. They go for Clay, Frelinghuysen and the Tariff as all men will who understand and value their true interests. Brag and bluster is the game of the Polk and Dallas party through out the country. It is the surest symptom of weakness. Newark Daily. The Cry is Still they Come! MORE SCREWS LOOSE' The Hagerstown Herald of Freedom pays, that within the last few weeks several Demo crats left the Loco Foco ranks and joined the Clay Club, among others Anthony Campbell, Eq. AGAIN ! The Norristown Herald says that one of the Secretaries of the Loco Loco Convention, held at Harrisburg, which nominated H. A. Muhlen berg for Governor, has joined the Clay . Club. Another Haul ! On Friday last, says the Miners' Journal, the locofocos held a meeting at Schuylkill Haven, and on the Monday evening following four Ger mans, who had never voted any but a locofoco ticket, registered their names as members of the Schuylkill Haven Clay Club They said they did not like the complexion of the meet ing, and besides they had had a surfeit of loco- focoism. They will hereafter advocate a Pro tective 1 anil, and all other measures ot the Whig party. Thomas Loring, Esq., for many years the Editor of the " North-Carolina Standard," then, and now, the mouth-piece of the Loco Foco party in that State, disgusted with the double- dealing and hypocritical professions of his par ty, gives notice, in the last number of his " In dependent," that he will, next week, run up the Clay and Frelinghuysen nag. It would give us pleasure to publish the whole article an nouncing this change of views, but must con- lent ourselves with ihe following pregnant par 1 a8raPn: " The Democratic Convention recently he d J at Baltimore, has developed incidents and char acters that demand the attention and scrutiny of every friend of freedom. Here we beheld Bank and anti-Bank men ; Unionists and Dis unionists; Repudiationists and auii-Repudia-tionists ; Tarjffiles and anti-Tarifrites met to gether in a spirit of mutual malignity ; and after rejecting from their support every man of mind and merit, we see them affect to harmonize up on a man of straw,' and audaciously hold him up to the American People as a proper candi date for the Chief Magistracy of ibis great and glorious Union. Is this the Democratic Parly ? Is this the freedom of the Public Will? Are the People to submit to this daring and reck less despotism of selfish politicians and ambi tious demagogues? For one, we say No! We will neither submit nor be cravenly rulent. And while we tender our heart-felt thanks and express our warmest regards to the many pure and honest men of the democratic party with whom we have been associaied, and from whom we have received many kindnesses, we utterly repudiate and denounce the course of the lead ers who hold ihe destiny of ihe party under their control. From the triumph of this com bination of selfishness, demagoguism and dis organization, our country has nothing of good to hope, but every ihing of evil to fear ; and we believe that a consistent regard for the purity of republican principles, will be best promoted in the support of Whig Candidates for the promi nent offices now about 10 become vacant. We shall, therefore, in our next number, place the names of Graham, and Clay, and Frelinghuysen, at the head of our editorial columns, and endeavor to show that the safety and prosperity of the country require their election." Mr. Maginnis, the '-Missouri Earthquake" as he was called a few weeks past, and who was one of the Senatorial Electors of Missouri in the Baltimore Convention, which defrauded Mr. Van Buren and nominated Mr. Polk, being disgusted with the palpable frauds practised lo secure this result, has publicly declared thai he cannot support it, and the party has tried to supply his place on the Electoral Ticket with the name of Tusten Polk, of St. Louis, but Mr. Polk also has declined. They are in as bad a fix for electors as ihcy were for Vice Presidential candidates ! Wonder if the Missouri locofocos have found a man to serve on their Electoral ticket? They have failed twice ; try it again, for " There's luck in odd numbers, fays RoryO'More." The Columbia Observer, published at the place where James K. Polk resides, gives in iis ratification to his nomination thus emphati cally : The Locofoco editors and orators, with rhe torical flourish, term Col. Polk " Tennessee-' favorite son." This is fine, but rather hyber bolical to a people at whose hands he has been vainly seeking office for four years. Twice in succession has his suit hern rejeci idt and if Teniessee does not forget her vict a, ho -will he so boldly discarded in NovwuWe that he will jhink of nothing hist his farm o, Mississip pi, where the atmosphere is more congenial the repmtiqted among repud,a(orsK .0 1. Polk. The following is an extract from a letter of Gen. Romulus M. Saunders, published in the Charlotte Jeffersonian : w uv-11 u .u(iiiiuuk- l mil im wis v " " Jtao nian in principle, and by birth, the sou of glo rious old Mecklenburg of Revolutionary fame. In voting for such a man, the descendant of Col. Thomas Polk, one of those bold patriots who signed the first Declaration of American Independence at Charlotte, Mecklenburg coun ty, N. C, the 20th of May, 1775, I fell 1 was discharging a proud duty in behalf of the Free men of the second Congressional District, as well as those of the first District, who will ral ly to the standard of their country, as did their forefathers at the battle of King's Mountain." Certainly this is about as bold a piece of fol ly as even Gen. Saunders was ever guilty of. To talk of King's Mountain and Col. Thomas Polk in praiM! of the descendant of A TORY who opposed the patrols of 1775, is loo much. The Charlotte Journal fully confirms our in formation as to the Toryism of Ezekiel Polk, (thr grandfather, not ihe father, of J. K. Polk.): ! J hat paper says : " We m Mecklenburg are justly proud or the name and services of the Polk family, hut to our mortification it is be recorded that ihe an cestors of the Loco Foco candidate are not in cluded in the number. We would not willing ly disinter events which have long since passed away unless driven 10 do so by the course of our adversaries. We ay, however, ihat though it is true that Mr. Polk is a son of old Meck lenburg, that he descended from a recreant branch of a noble stock, and that if it is desired, we will furnish from living witnesses the proof of ihe assertion. Thomas Polk was a devoted patriot the father of the Mecklenburg Decla ration but on that instrument tho name of his brother Ezekiel, the grandfather of the Loco Foco nominee, does not appear, and with that circumstance is connected a melancholy and disgraceful history. If ihe Loco Foco party desire it we will pursue ihe subject farther." Oxford (iV. C.) Mercury. An Honest Loco Foco. The Stockbridge, (Mass.) Visitor, a decided Loco Foco paper, raises the fiagof "Polk and Dallas," and in -the course of an article upon the u cause and means of sustaining it," has the following very sensible remarks : u Every party has the misfortune to have at tached to it a certain class of politicians, who at the commencement of a campaign, con over I the. ! n-,,u. ,u .. 1 ".u . .u 1 Vila On ha tnnl I hatt m I ? nnrxltr lnt rv tt I h a vile epithet, that they may apply them to the opposing candidates.

Now that the Presidential campaign is com menced, one can scarcely go amiss of the ex hibitions of this class of politicians.

He looks 1 hem as sternly in the eye as ever, and is prepared to do battle with them at any notice, no matter at what odds. His rejoinder to McDuflie on Saturday night is represented by those who heard it as most withering. Ho laid hare the secrets of private speculation an political treachery which have given lifeto-tlm cry of Immediate Annexation; he showed thu the men who fomented this plot were impelled bv the most sordid motives, and bent mi- grti. fying their ambition even at the cot of destroy ing ihe Union. He told them on closing that they need not exult loo confidently in their ill. 1 got victory, for he should meet then at Phillip- pi thai he niioulu oppose their intrigues wi.ji voice and pen, and if need be with sword m hand, and die defending the Union. A murmur of applause ran through thn galle ries which could not be restrained. Gencal Clinch of Ga., who happened! to be in the Srn ate, could not resist the impulse to go up to ihn dauntless Senator, and grasping his band.ttfu him that he should stand proudly by his side in defence of the Union.
