The Presidency,
The Candidate,— Ileac thru tverev-,:nated,&e.
It is difficult to conceive how any reasonable man
can doubt that Henry Clay will be elected Presi
dent of the United States the present year, if life
is spored him. Let us for a moment examine the
manner in which the two candidates, Clay and
Polk--(Tyler is out of the question)—stand before
the people. Even before the death of the Good
President," public opinion pointed to Henry Clay
as the Whig candidate in 1844; and from that
' time on to the Ist of May, when the Convention
assembled in Baltimore, the name of any other man
was rarely heard of in connexion with the Presi
dency. It was not the work of demagogues or par
ty leaders, but the spontaneous action of the peo
ple themselves. From every hill and valley, from
every city, town, village and hamlet, the voice went
forth and called upon the name of the noble defen
der of the nation's rights, the nation's honor and
the nation's glory, the gallant "Harry of the
West." Long before the assembling of the Con
vention all other names, all other preferences were
lost in the growing, the all-pervading popularity of
Henry Clay. The Convention met. Never since
we have had a name among the nations of the
earth was there assembled in our midst a collective'
body that was characterised with such unanimity
as this. One name and only one—the name of
HENRY CLAY—was presented to the Conven
tion. The people—the people of the east and the
west, of the north and of the south, sent to that
Convention, greeting, "We ♦HE eon CLAY, GIVE
VS HENRY CLAY—he who stood firmly by us in
the days of gloom and storm is worthy of our
support in times of brightest hopes, when the
bow of promise' is around us." The Convention,
mindful of the wishes and instructions of the peo
ple, proclaimed to the Nation—" HeNnt CLAY IS
THE CHOICE OF THE SOVEREIGN PEOPLE, HENRY
CLAY IS THE CHOICE OF THE CONVENTION;" and a
shout immediately went forth till it reached the Gulf
of Mexico, the Falls of St. Anthony, the rivers of
the west, and the shores of the Atlantic, OUR
CAUSE IS JUST,OUR UNION IS PERFECT;"
and that shout will swell until its thunder-tones
shall reach the ears of the Eagle in his " distant
mountain home."
HENRY CLAY IS THE CHOICE OF THE
PEOPLE NOW—HE WILL BE THE PEO
PLE'S PRESIDENT ON THE 4TH OF
MARCH 1845.
Look at the other side. On the 27th of May
the Locofoco Convention met in Baltimore.—
Martin Van Buren had been up before the Locofo
co poesy as a candidate es or since 1840. His
claims had been canvassed and debated time and ,
again. Delegates had been appointed by the peo
ple, and the appointments were accompanied with
instructions. Gen. Cass had also been up before
the same party as a candidate for a considerable
length of time. So had Col. Johnson, Mr. Cal
houn and Mr. Buchanan. The Convention enter
ed upon the discharge of its duties. On the first
ballot Van Buren received a majority of the votes
of the Convention, and Iris friends rejoiced in his
nomination. • But,' says some Locofoco, Mr. Van
Buren is not nominated--modern Democracy re:
quires two thirds of the votes in order to nominate—
the majority shall re. , •nie us. Ite_mte , --;#• , -•-•.• I
the chair decided in favor or taeloinurity, and his
decision was sustained by the Convention, some of
the delegates instructed turning traitors tc their con
stituents and violating their instructions. Thus the
minority triumphed in this first step; and next they
went to work to force upon the people a candidate
of whom they never heard or thought or evtn
dreamed. Look at the proceedings and see how
many ballots were had b efore the name of JAMES
K. POLK appeared among the list of candidates.--
On the Bth ballot he had but 44 votes, while Cass
had 114 and Van Buren still 104. Then followed
an hour of promising, bartering and trading, by
which the whole matter was planned and arranged
to the entire satisfaction of the delegates; and then
the ninth ballot took place, when limas K. POLK
was unanimously selected !!!
Taen the inquiry went forth upon the wings of the
wind--' WHO IS JAMES K. POLK, WHAT
IS JAMES K. POLK ?"
Now, what had the people, the " Democracy" to do
with this nomination? Where is the man who at any
time heard his name made use of as a candidate for
President of the United States? Where is the per-
son who heard him talked of" as a candidate?--
The people did not want him; and we mistake their
independence greatly if they will have any thing to
do with him. They know that the man who was
last fall defeated while running for Governor of
Tennessee, and once before, is not even an availa
ble candidate.
Suppose it were possible for James K. Polk to
be elected, how would he administer the Govern
ment. First the delegates, who nominated him in
defiance of the popular will, would have to receive
their reward by appointments to lucrative offices.
The delegates would be the only men that he would
owe his office to, and they would be the whole coun
try in his eyes. The people—and the honor—and
the interests of the nation, would be matters of se
condary importance with him. But as Mr. Polk's
election is not even on the list of remote possibili
ties, it is wasting time to speak or write of conse
quences that would follow if elected.
We have thus given an account of the manner
in which the opposing candidates were brought be
for the people; and as our article is already long
for our columns, we must defer a review of the
PRINCIPLES held by the candidates respectively un
til next week.
GE N. SCOTT ROBBED.- While Gen. Scott was
coming down the North River on Friday, his pock
et was picked of $l3O. He was on beard the stea
mer Troy, and four men named George Potter,
James Wilson, Charles Hubbard, and John Rock,
I have been arrested for being concerned in the rob
bery. The principal part of the General's money
was in gold, and a large amount was found on Rock.
They were all temporarily committed.
(O. At the latest date. from Europe, upwards of
$2,600,000 had been collected for the Free Church
of &dim].
FOURTH OP JULY CELEBRATION,
The recent 4th of July was celebrated in this
place by a union of the diffcront Sabbath Schools,
in which the teachers and citizens generally parti
cipated. May we never cease to celebrate it with
thanksgiving, with festivity, with bonfires and il
luminations," and thus hand down to posterity the
Anniversary of American Independence as " a glo
rious, an immortal day."
Last Thursday was indeed a glorious day with
the children of this town and vicinity. Early in
the morning the little girls and boys, shining in their
" best bib and tucker," their faces adorned with
happy smiles, could be seen in all directions, ma
king their way to the place appointed for meeting.
At 9 o'clock a procession was formed at the Court
House, and scholars and teachers thus marched up
Main Street and proceeded to the " Cypress Grove"
between the river and the canal, a short distance
above the borough. In the procession were carried
some twenty or thirty banners, with appropriate
mottos, and sortie of them beautifully encircled With
wreathes of evergreen and flowers.
It was a truly pleasing and interesting sight to
look upon, when the vast array of children were
seated in that beautiful grove, a bewitching spot,
where Sylvan himself might glory to erect his
throne. Tall and stately sycamores, imbedded in a
grassy sward, waved their spreading branches high
over the heads of the happy throng, while thin
clouds overcoat the sky, through which the sun ever
and anon poured his vivifying and lifegiving rays;
which,with a cool breeze rustling through the grove,
rendered the scene still more exquisitely beautiful.
The following was the order of the exercises:
110171 sung by the Schools,
Prayer by the Reverend Mr. Peebles,
Music by the Band,
Hymn sting by the Schools,
Declaration of Independence read by William G.
Furlong,
Music by the Band,
ORATION by Thomas P. Campbell, Esq.
Music by the Band,
Address by the Rev. Mr. Gwinn,
Hymn by the Scholars and Teachers,
MUSIC.
The whole company were supplied with refresh
ments, after the prayer and at the close of the exer
cises again, from a common table, provided for the
occasion.
At half past twelve o'clock the company was
again fanned in order for procession, and !attuned
to town, where the Benediction was pronounced by
the Rev. Mr. Crownover, when the schools were
dismissed.
The celebration was characterised with good or
der throughout; and the speaking, the performan
ces of the Band who are making great progress in
" discoursing eloquent music," the singing, and
every thing connected with the celebration can be
reviewed by every ono present without a pang of
regret.
Alexandria Clay Club Meeting.
On Thursday evening we attended a meet
ing of the Alexandria Clay Club, and were pleased
to find that the Whigs of that place and vicinity
enter into the present contest with a proper spirit
and energy.
The meeting was addressed be c--•••• S. M'
„ „ • , „. by ourself and A.
K. CORNTN, Esq., successively.
Among the other proceedings, a resolution was
adopted that tt..± Ciub, in a body, attend the Mass
Meeting to be held in Huntingdon, on the 24th
July inst., and another. that the members use every
effort to persuade as many of the Locofocos as
possible to attend said meeting. This is a step
worthy the imitation of all other Clay Clubs and
Associations in the county.
The meeting then adjourned to mbet again on
Saturday the 20th of July.
From present indications we expect to hear a
\good report from the borough, of Alexandria, and
Porter township, in October and November next.
Siena—The Democratic Union says that at a
barn raising in Fayette county the vote was taken
and Polk actually had a majority ! As a set off for
this great demonstration, we givo the following:
On Wednesday last the 3d of July, a vote was
taken on board Capt. Hoffman's Packet boat, and
stood 58 for Clay--l 5 for Polk !
A few days previous on the same boat, out of
60 passengers, there were 3 for Polk ! For Cluy
57.
These are facts which will be vouched for by the
Captain. What does the Union think of them!
Rather significant signs-oh 1 -Harrisburg Intelli
gence,
Fawn Texas.—By the arrival on Saturday of
the steamship New York, Capt. Wright, from Gal
veston, we have received our files of Texan papers
to the 19th ult. The papers contain little worth
extracting—they are filled with articles on annex
ation. The Gazette of the 19th says that if Texas
could procure from Mexico a complete recognition
of her independence, a majority of the citizens
would be opposed to annexation.
The trial of Commodore Moore was still in pro-
greys at Washington.
In respect the Indian troubles on the frontier, the
Houston Telegraph of the 12th ultimo, has the
following:
"We have direct information from Bexar, that
the danger is no lese titan heretofore—that the In
dines are still committing their depredations in par
ties of from eight to twelve ; and that it is unsafe
to travel the country, unless armed and in company.
And it is certainly no less important to emigrants
and strangers to be on their guard, than it is to
the old and experienced inhabitants of Bexar, who
never leave town without arms artd company"—
N. 0. Bulletin.
MARYLAND Caoes.—The Wheat harvest by this
time, is generally finished in Maryland, and the
yield will prove a full average. In Kent and
Qucon Anne counties the papers say that the grain
is remarkably fine and heavy. Of the crop in
Frederick county the Herald says—. We hear lass
complaint than usual, and although the rust and
smut have done some little injury, we have but
little doubt that the main objection to the wheat will
be that the grains are not sufficiently weighty and
are shrivelled from the excess of wet weather lately
had.
Marriage of tho Prosident of the U.
States.
We gather from the New York papers the fol
lowing particulars of the President's Marriage and
of the family of his bride.
His Excellency JOHN Trmtn, President of the
United States, was married to Miss JULIA GA R
axe, eldest daughter of the late Hon. David Gardi
ner of Long Island, on Wednesday, the twenty
sixth ultimo.
The ceremony took place at the Church of the
Ascension, on the Fifth Avenue. The marriage
services were performed by the Rt. Rev. Bishop
Onderdonk, in a dignified and appropriate manner.
Not more than a dozen people were in the Church
except the bridal party. The position and standing
of the bride and groom will justify a brief des
cription of some of the particulars attending the
cermonies, without any breach of decorum.
The bride is a very beautiful and elegantly form
ed woman of apparently about twenty years of
age. She was robed simply in white, with a gauze
veil depending from a circuit of white 'lowers
wreathed in her hair. The bride was given away
by her brother. The wedding party consisted of a
brother and sister of the bride, John Tyler, Jr.,
and lady, two Misses Wickliffe daughters of the
Postmaster General, Mr. Postmaster Graham, and
one or two others.
At the conclusion of the ceremonies, the party
departed for the residence of the bride in Lafayette
place, in this city. The wedding cortege consisted
of five carriages. That in which the President
and his lady were conveyed was drawn by four
horses, the coachman and foot man wearing bridal
favors.
After dinner, the bridal party went on board a
steamer, and made a short excursion around the
harbor, passing the North Carolina, Princeton, and
the Mexican steamer. On approaching the various
ships of war, the salute due to the rank of the Pre
sident was fired from them, including the Mexican
steamers; the yards of all the ships, steamers, and
revenue cutters, were manned, and as the party
passed, cheered them heartily. The steamer then
proceeded to Jersey City, from valence a special
train was despatched to Philadelphia.
The event of the death of Mr. Gardiner, the
father of the bride who was killed by the bursting
of the large gun on board the Steamer Princeton, is
fresh in the minds of our readers. The two daugh
ters of Mr. Gardiner were on board that vessel at
the time of the explosion.
Mr. Gardiner was formerly a lawyer of high
standing in this city; but retired early in life from
his profession, with an independent fortune. He
was once elected to the Senate of New York and
performed his Legislative duties with credit to his
industry and abilities. Those of our readers who
have been in the habit of visiting Washington du
, ring the session of Congress, will not fail to re
member Mr. Gardiner and daughters, who have
spent their winters at the Capitol for the last few
years. The young ladies were celebrated for they ,
beauty and accomplishments, and were of
; great attention and ..,ung the two Hou
„ The bride was the eldest of the
two.
The President and his young bride arrived at
Washingron on Thursday, the 27th ult. After
spending a short time at the White House, they
will proceed to "Old Point Comfort," where they
will probably remain some weeks.
The Express sacs, the mother (Thu. Gardiner)
of the President's lady, was the daughter of a re
spectable citizen. At his death, the property,
which was large, fell principally to this child--who
was taken into the family of Judge Sylvanus Mil
ler—He, with Henry Remsen, Esq., were her
guardians. Under Mr. and Mrs. M's. guidance she
was educated, and no person acquainted with thier
high moral and intellectual qualifications, can doubt
that she was a most accomplished lady when she
married Mr. Gardiner. It is well known Mr. G.
was killed by the explosion on board the Princeton,
leaving four children, two sons and two daughters.
Julia, the eldest, now the President's lady, is nearly
twenty-six years of age, has had the advantages of
a finished education, is highly accomplished, and
has travelled through Europe with her father. She
is rather above the middling size, and is beautiful
both in face and form. The property of the family,
which consista of good real estate, mostly in this
city, is considered to be worth about a hundred
thousand dollars. Mr. Gardiner, her father, studied
law with John Antlion, Esq., but having married
a lady of fortune, never practised in his profession
much. He was the political friend of De Witt
Clinton, and was in the Senate of this State fou r
years.
THE WHITE HOUSE.-The Madisonian says:—
President Tyler returned with his fair bride to the
capital on the evening of last Thursday.
On Saturday the bride received company.--
Though there was no announcement in the papers,
it was generally known that on that day, the White
House would be open to those who wished to pay
their compliments to the Chief Magistrate and his
bride, and during the hours of reception the rooms
were thronged.
The Heads of Departments, the Foreign Minis
ters in their court dresses, and the officers of the
Army and Navy in uniform, in company with the
ladies of their acquaintance, made a brilliant show,
and his honor the Mayor and his lady, and most of
the elite of the capital, whether in public or in
private stations, offered their congratulations and
bade the lady of the Miamian, welcome.
Coarsen mos.—The number of deaths from
this dreaded and dreadful malady occurring every
year in England and Wales, is in round numbers,
36,000, being rather less than one-ninth of the
mortality for all cases.
A London paper says a laurel bush, in
the garden of Mr. Chadwick, of Hazclhurst, and
close to the front door, are four :Ards' nests, two of
which are entwined one with the other. The birds
which have located there are two thrushes, one
green linnet, and one goldfinch.'
From the Philadelphia litt morn
The end of Door's Trial.
Thomas W. Dorr, the would-be Rhode Island
Governor, is bent on immortalizing himself. He
wishes to be accounted a valiant champion of liber
ty and democracy, and in going to prison he ima
gines himself a victim of tyranny. On Monday,
the 24th ultimo, he gave notice that he should take
his case by writ of error to the Supreme Court of
the United States. On Tuesday morning the
Court having him under trial, decided that the writ
of error, which they admitted the Defendant might
obtain, would not operate to supersede the sen
tence, and also that they had no power to delay the
execution of the sentence after it should be pro
nounced.
When the Clerk propounded the customary
question: " Prisoner, what have you to say why
sentence should not be pronounced against you ?"
Mr. Dorr rose and addressed the court for about
twenty minutes, speaking from short notes which
ho held in his hand. His remarks arc variously
represented. One paper says :
He spoke like a man whose requests had all been
denied, and who expected the worst that could be
done to him. His manner was bold, and his de
nunciation distinct, deliberate and emphatic; yet he
betrayed no excitement or emotion of any kind.
He assured the Court of his belief, that he had
not received a fair trial; that means had been ta
ken to force upon him a partial and hostile jury ,
that he had been denied many legal means of de
fence, and that his cause had been prejudged. He
reminded them that there is a tribunal to which they
as well as himself are amenable, the sense of the
American people, and to this he appeals for a re
versal of this decision and for justice to his cha
racter.
Another describes him as having "wound up by
a gross farrago of insolence and wrath to the Court
itself, telling the Judge that he would not exchange
his place as a prisoner at the bar, " for a scat beside
their honors!"
Chief Juctice Dunce replied to him in a very
mild, dignified manner, that the Court had endea
vored to discharge their duties faithfully and im
partially; and that they were not aware that they
had allowed themselvss to be influenced by any of
the motives charged upon them by the prisoner.
He said the painful duty imposed upon him by the
law remained to be performed, which was the pas
sing of sentence. The prisoner was then directed
to rise, and the Chief Justice pronounced the sen
tence as follows " The sentence of the Court is,
that you. Thomas Wilson Door, be imprisoned in
the State Prison at Providence for and during the
term of your natural life, and be there kept at hard
labor in solitary confinement."
" Thus ends," says the Providence Journal, "one
of the most infamous rebellions that has ever die.
graced the annals of our government, in a manner
which cannot foil to have a lasting effect upon the
minds of those who may be inclined to do like -
The Bay State Democrat takes a different tone-
Its language is—
Has the triumph of arbitrary power over the
principles of American liberty been consumated in
the midst of our Union, and a pure minded, virtu ,
ous and patiotic man, been made the victim cf ty
ranny, for advocating the doctrines of the Declara
tion of Independence. This sentence of imprison•
went will disgrace his persecutors, and crown him
with honor. Like the great O'Connell, he suffers
in the cause of freedom, and like him will his
name be revered by every friend of that cause.—
From first to last, the conduct of Mr. Derr has been
such us his friends have reason to be proud of and
his entrance to his prison will be to him a triumphal
procession.
The employment of convicts in the Rhode Island
prison, is said to be the making of fans ; and it is
added that His Excellency will still have an oppor
tunity of "raising the wind." The Providence
Journal, thus remarks on the termination of this
trial
The sentence pronounced yesterday upon Thom
as
NV. Dorr, was a singular vindication of the law.
Its vengeance has fallen not upon humble and de
luded men who were made the instruments of its
immediate violation, but upon him whose ambition
planned, and whose audacity executed the whole.
It was for his benefit that the rebellion was organi
zed, and upon his head have fallen the terrible con•
sequences. Throughout the whole of this laborious
trial, the Court have conducted with a dignity and
impartiality which give them new claims upon the
respect of the people. And thus, in every depart
ment of the government, the vindication of the law
has been accomplished.
Szsannoax Exezemorr—Five LIVES LOST.-
An extra from the Buffalo Daily Gazette of Thurs
day brings ua intelligence that on Tuesday the
steamboat Gen. Vance, Capt. Woodworth, burst
her boiler at the wharf on the Canada side, and five
persons, including Gen. Traux, are known to have
lost their lives. The Vance was owned by Capt.
Woodworth, son of Mr. Woodworth late of Wood
worth's Hotel, Detroit. Capt. W. was killed while
in conversation with the engineer, who was severe
ly, but not dangerously wounded.
The Detroit Advertiser says that Mr. Motherwell,
the engineer of the steam ferry boat United, who
had just stepped on board the Vance, was among
the killed. as also a man named Geo. Sweeny, of
Cannily West, formerly employed on board the
British steamer Kent. Gen. Traux was wounded
in the head by a fragment and died of his wounds.
The two firemen were severely wounded.
} ' EvtALO POLITICIANS. -Since the lords of crea
tion have been prohibited from betting on elections,
the ladies appear to take the matter in hand. The
Milton Ledger of a late date stated that a Democrat
ic Lady of Williansport had five hundred dollars to
bet that James K. Polk would be elected, upon which
the Miltonian rejoins that a Whig Lady of Milton,
sends her respects to the Democratic Lady in Wil
liamsport,' and informs her that she has One Thou
sand dollars ready, which she will stake against the
Williamsport Lady's 'five hundred dollars,' that
James K. Polk will not be elected President of
these United States.'
'And Five hundred in addition, that Henry Clay
will beat Polk in Tennessee, Polka own State, five
thousand votes. If the Democratic Lady of Willi
amsport' is disposed to take the bet she may address
a letter with her real name to

"Blessed are they, that die in the Lord."
By this dispensation of providence, her relatives
and friends have lost one who was near and dear to
them ; she was a friend to all of her acquaintance
—loved by all. Through a series of years past she
has been laboring under a very severe disease, re
ceived by falling, having her hip displaced—since, not
being able to walk without the aid of crutches.
She has long been a member of the Presbyterian
Church of this place, a true follower of Christ; at
all times ready and willing to be cut off front this
world, removed to another by her Father in Heaven,
there to dwell forever. Through her last moments,
exclaiming, "Good is His will, who knew her
afflictions."
It is at all times mournful to witness the ravage
made by death within the circle of our friendships,
and to feel, as we look around, the absence of a
familiar form, (never to return to this sinful world)
that has disappeared in obedience to the stern sum
