Native Americanism in Philadelphia.
The Native Americans in the city of Philadel
phia have nominated the following ticket, which is
very considerably sprinkled with Locofocoism.
Mayor—Elhanan W. Keyser.
Congress—John W. Ashinead.
Senate—James Harper.
Assembly—Wm. Little, E. M. Spencer, P. 8.
White, Thomas Wescott, E. Muatin.
We call the attention of those veritable Locofocos
in this quarter who are attempting to create a belief
that Native Americanism is favored by the Whigs,
to the following paragraph from the (Native) Amer
ican Advocate of Wednesday last.
CiTr EzzcTietescativo.—The Whig party of
the • city of Philadelphia' has already commenced
laying pipe.' This is done, no doubt, to secure
forei:gn votes—spinning yarn and laying pipe will
not badger the citizens out of their legal votes this
election. Them; tricks have grown Sat and stale.

ed cards with him."
'DI OS. L. FLAMER.
The Globe of last week is full of wrath and indig
nation on account of our publishing, two weeks ago,
the above extract. That veritable sheet denies the
charge upon the authority of a letter from the said
Thomas L. Hamer, late a Locofoco Member of
Congress from Ohio, in which he says:
"Some weeks since 1 was re-
quested to deliver an address to
the democracy of Adams county,
Ohio; and in the course of my
remarks, in answer to inquiries
whether I knew Governor Polk
personally, I said, that I had fre
quently replied to that question,
by saying I knew him well— hard •
ly knew any body eIse,—THAT
HAD SLEPT WITH HIM, AND PLAYED
CARDS WITH HIM ! The observa
tion was made like a thousand
others of a jocular character in
stump speaking :—merely to raise
a laugh !"
In the same piece the "Globe" tells us we have
either intentionally or otherwise borne false witness
against our neighbor; and, in the same breath it
adds, ' , and again we say t! , ::( 'UR CHARGES—
[GambIer, Sabbath-breaker,&c.&c.]—against Mr.
Clay, which you
.pronounce false, ARE TRUE,
&c.
Mr. Clay, we are told, gambles—plays cards; but
we suppose our young neighbor up street, like
Mr. Horner, when addressing the "democracy,"
says it "merely to raise a laugh !" though there
is nothing laughable about it. Mr. Hamer and the
"Globe" do not inform us whether the "democracy"
are in the habit of getting their sides insured before
Mr. Hamer addresses them.
The editor of the Globe" having vouched for
the truth of the charges against Mr. Clay, we invite
his special attention to the following letter from the
Rev. Dr. Bascom, a shining ornament of the Meth
odist Episcopal Church.
Transylvania University,
Lexington, Ky., July 24th 1844.
My Dear Sir : _
In reply to your
letter of the 9th instant, I owe it
to truth, virtue, and the claims
of society, without any reference
to the political strifes of the day,
to say, I have been in intimate
and confidential intercourse with
the Hon. H. Clay, both in public
and private life, for more than
twenty years, and know the char
ges enumerated in your letter,
against the private character of
Mr. Clay to be utterly and basely
false. - Mr. Clay, as is known to
the whole nation, offers no claim
to Christian piety, in the parlance
of our churches, but in view of
the ordinary accredited princi
ples of good moral character,
no charge can be brought against
him without violating the obliga
tions
of truth and sound justice.
'l'o each interrogative charge,
therefore, contained in your let
ter, and reaching me in shape of
questions, 1 return for answer,
that I regard one and all of them
as shamefully unjust, because
not true, in whole or in part.
Very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
It B. BASCOM.
Dr. J. G. Goble.
Here, then, is an issue. Lewis G. Mytinger, ed
itor of the "Huntingdon Globe," asserts that the
charges against Mr. Clay are TRUE. The Rev.
H. B. Bascom, President of Transylvania Univer
sity, says they are UTTERLY and BASELY
FALSE. Which is to be believed? The one
is the neighbor of Mr. Clay, and has known him
for more than twenty years.—The other has proba
bly never seen Mr. Clay, nor even read his history.
The one is an eminent Divine.—And the other an
unexperienced Locofoco Editor! Readers, judge
ye between them.
8 PrGvowition.
We offer and agree to publish the whole letter of
Phornas L. Hamer, relative to his assertion that he
,‘ played cards" with James K. Polk, if our neigh
bor of the Ulobe will publish the letter of Rev. Dr.
Bascom, relative to the card playing &c. of Henry
Clay. Will we be taken up I
Death in the Prize Ring.
We learn from a London paper, that a most dis
graceful prize fight recently took place at Merry's
Close, between two seen for 10 shillings aside.
The fight lasted an hour, and one of the parties was
killed. The father of the deceased was present,
but did not interfere; in fact, he scolded his wife
for being in trouble about her son going to fight,
and linked arm in arm with others to form the ring.
Several of the witnesses swore that the father of the
deceased had said, " that he-would bring his son
home a corpse sooner than he should give in." The
deceased was taken to the Milkmaid public house,
in Ketterring road, after the fight was over; he was
then fast dying, and expired shortly afterwards.
The father, on being called upon by the Coronor to
say what he had to offer in explanation of his dis
graceful conduct, declared that he had been against
his son's fighting, but refused to sign a written
statement to that elrect."
Death of Commodore Dallas,
Wo are sorry to learn that authentic information
reached this city, says the Washington National
Intellhremer, by a vessel arrived at Baltimore on
Saturday in a very short passage from Lima, of the
decease of Commodore Alexander J. Dallas, of the!
Navy of the United States, and commander of the
Squadron in the Pacific.
He died on board of the U. S. Frigate Savannah,
in Callao bay, on the 3d day of June, from a third
attack of paralysis.
Comm. Dallas entered the Navy as Midshipman
on the 22d day of November, 1805, and had of
course been in the naval service, in which he en
joyed an enviable reputation, nearly thirty.nine
years.
He was the son of that sterling patriot Alex. J.
Dallas, who so distinguished himself at the head of
the Treasury Department at the moat critical period
of the history of this country, and was the brother
of Mr. Dallas whose name is now before the people
as a candidate for the Vice Presidency.
POLK A GAMBLER.
The Wilmington (Ohio) Republican says :
"Thomas Morris said in his speech in this place
last Tuesday, that Thomas L. Hamer told him
that he had played cards with POLK!" This will
require another explanatory letter.
WHIG ENTHUSIASM.
Immense Whig meetings are being held throug
out the east and west, the north and south. The
people are awake, and the indications are that Mr.
Clay will be elected by as large a popular majority
as that of Gen. Harrison in 1840.
DEATH OF GEN. MURPHY.
Gen. Wm. S. Murphey, late charge d'Affairs at
Texas, died at Galveston on the 13th July, of yel
low foyer. Ile was buried with all the honors due

WHAT'S THE MATTER.
The Locofoco candidate for Governor of Georgia
backs out, says the Gazette. He smells a rat. For
some weeks he has been actively canvassing the
State. He returns home, and gives up. The Locos
are busy hunting up another candidate. Meantime
the Whip are united, enthusiastic and determined
to conquer.
"Let Texas be the watch word, and victory is
certain."—Gen. Jackson's letter to Gen. Plauche,
June 14, 1844.
"Texas was the watchword of the Locofocos in
Louisiana, and victory was certain for the Whigs.
"Texas was the Locofoco watchword in Ken
tucky, Indiana awl North Carolina and the result
was the same.
"Texas is the watchword of the Polk and Dallas
party throughout the Union. Who can doubt
from what has passed, the certain victory of the op
ponents of " annexation?"
ANIMAL MANETISM.
A woman has been in Rrovidence for some days
past, says the Chronicle of that city, who has been
magnetized by her brother two hundred different
times, and told the internal diseases of as many dif
ferent people. She receives one dollar for'each ex
amination.

"Texas or Disunion."
"Frown indignantly upon the first clawing of
an attempt to separate any portion of this Union
from the rest."
Washington's Farewell Address.
The Polk party of the south, under whose do
mination the leaders are striving to bring the de
mocracy of the north and west, have been and are
laboring hard to get up a Texas or Disunion' con
vention, to be held in one of the southern cities.
Nashville, Tennessee, was the place first desig
nated, but there Whig. and Locofocos joined in
shielding their city from such desecration.
Richmond, Va., was the place next selected.—
But the many holy associations which sprung from
and yet cluster around the old Dominion, forbade
the idea of any such unholy meeting. The birth
state of Washington could not be thus defiled.—
The patriotic Whigs of Richmond warm in their
love of the Union, and remembering the words of
Washington's farewell address, frowned indignant
ly on the daring plan, and denied the disunionista
admission.
What other place the Polk party will now select
for the theatre of their machinations is as yet un
known. They had better hold the proposed con
vention in Texas at once, though from recent in
formation, they would meet with opposition even
there since even the people of Texas are becoming
opposed to the annexation.—Zattroville Gaulle.
Death of Colonol Stone.
Col. William L. Stone long knoWn as the able
editor of the New York Commercial Advertiser,
died at Saratoga Springs on Thursday the 18th ult.
Besides conducting the newspaper Col. Stone
was well known as a successful writer in the higher
walks of literature. The life of Brandt, is we be
lieve his moat extensive w ork, and that will filmys
stand as an honorable evidence of successful re
search into a branch of history, but little studied,
and of which the materials are fast fading away.
' Brand's life formed a very interesting portion of In
dian history, and in the work referred to that portion
has been treated of and elucidated in a very satis
factory manner. Col. Stone was also a frequent
and welcome contributor to the periodicals and an
nuals of the day.
In noticing his death the editor of the Albany
Evening Journal—from which paper we have prin
cipally taken the above notice—says, ,4 Col. Stone,
though an ardent and impulsive politician, was al
ways guided by convictions of duty. He edited
his paper as Ile discharged every other duty, and
the conscientious conviction of the justice and right
fulness of his course. We presented ourself to
hint, in the February of 1813, a half grown and
half learned itinerant printer, without friends or
money. He not only gave us employment, but
became and remained our friend: and through all
differences of opinion, we have never ceased to
cherish for him feelings of affection and gratitude—
feelings which, in the hour of bereavement and
separation, bring back, with the freshness of youth
a long train of sweet and bitter fancies."
This is praise, and doubtless, deserved. Noman
need require a better panegyric, than not to have
done any thing save with the conscientious con
victions of the justice and rightfulness of his course.
To be an editor ought not to be incompatible with
being a gentleman, and however the ardour of po
litical strife may sometimes betray the conductors
of the press beyond the bounds of courtesy or strict
truth, such a course ought to be the exception, not
the rule.
From the Pennsylvania Telegraph.
Loco-foco Desperation---Native
Americanism, &c.
With some care we have avoided thus far from
meddling with the exciting question of NATIVE
AMERICANISM, which has been raised with
such extraordinary results in Philadelphia and else
where. As members of the Democratic Whig par
ty, of course we have no desire for raising new is
sues, believing those already involved in the canvass
sufficiently important and numerous, and that they
should be decided before others are brought into
view. Especially have we deprecated, also bringing
religious questions to be decided at the polls, all
history showing that such are the most dangerous
to the public peace and the happiness of the com
munity. The Whig press, generelly, we have been
pleased to observe, have pursued generally the
same judicious course. We wish we could say the
same of our opponents. But both in their papers
and on the stump, they have lugged the question
into discussion and attempted to excite the passions
of foreigners and Catholics against the Whig party,
by falsely representing it as the originator of the
Native American party, the cause of the Philadel
phia disturbances, and their determined enemies and
persecutors. It is true, we admit, that those here
tofore engaged in this work of defamation and
falsehood, have been the more reckless of the spea
kers and the more violent and radical of the press
belonging to the locofoco party. But it will be seen
from the following extract from the Pittsburg Amer
ican of August Gih, that the more respectable lea
ders of the party are about to engage in the same
foul and dirty work. The American says:
.The Polkat party had a very fair turn out on
Saturday night.'
Mr. Shunk made a speech in Dutch to his Ca
tholic friends of that language. He told them that
the Democrats were their friends, and in all their
difficulties with the Protestants were side by side
with them. That the Whigs were the friends of
the Native Americans, who wanted that they should
be here twenty-one years before they could vote.—
That Mr. Muhlenberg who had been a Protestant
Preacher, had quit the calling to defend them in
their rights, and in this he was supported by the
democratic party. This was all well received with
applause, as they knew Mr. Shunk had walked with
them before a procession with his hat off, and knee
led with them when they raised the host. We do
not vouch this being the exact language, but it is as
near as we can get it turned into English. If he
will translate it fairly we will publish it for him.'
The remarks of the American are true and ap.
propriate. The desperation of defeat is rendering
the Locofoco leaders perfectly crazy. What stron
ger evidence of madness is necessary than the fact
that Francis R. Shank would wilfully descend to
the meanest falsehoods, and pander to the vilest
feelings of religious bigotry, to advance the cause of
his party. We hope to see no more of it.
GOV. RITNER'S POSITION.
We notice in the last Berke and Schuylkill Jou
rnal, a letter from Ex-Gov. Ritner, in which he ex
presses himself in decided terms for Clay. After
speaking in pretty sharp termsof the loc, foco press,
and the question at issue, the Governor concludes
I therefore go for Gen. MARKLE first, and
then I go for CLAY and FRELINGHUYSEN."
Will this satisfy the Locos
'The true democratic principle is, to receive
&loop the acts of a majority as legitimate—
AND UPON THIS RACK RESTS THE
WHOLE STRUCTURE OF DEMOCRACY."
We copy the above as we find it, in the Lycom
ing Gazette. We thought tho democratic doctrine,
as established at Baltimore, was, that two-thirds
are required to decide all questions.—U. S. Ga..
cc? The Albany papers are filled with the ac
counts of the Great Mass Convention of the River
counties of New York, in that city on Tuesday of
last week. It is calculated that Fiftp Thurmond
Whigs were present, and about three thousand la
dies—a noble gathering for Mr. Webster to address
himself to. There were in the procession four hun
dred and twenty banners and thirty bands of music.
The Locos of Mifflin county have nominated
James Burns for Assembly, and J. R. M'Dowell for
Prothonotary.
Change of Leaders.
The death of Mr. Muhlenberg, says the Lancas
ter Union, will undoubtedly bring into the field as
a Locofoco candidate for Governor, Francis R.
Shook, of Pittsburg. By the tone of the Locofoco
press, wo consider the nomination as good as made
already. We therefore take it for granted that the
contest for the rest of the campaign will be between
Gen. Joseph Markle, V. gallant old soldier, and
Francis R Spunk, the "veteran office holder," as
the Harrisburg Telegraph appropriately designates
him. Mr. Shuck has been in public office at Har
risburg almost uninterruptedly since 1809. For the
single year of 1836, when ho was defeated as Clerk
of the House of Representatives, he was out of
office. But with that exception, he was sucking
at the public teat from 1809 to 1842, a period of
THIRTY-TWO YEARS.
Gen. Markle, on the other hand, has never held
an office of profit for a single day. But instead
living off the public his whole life, he has earned
his living by honest, untiring industry on his farm.
When his country was in danger, he was the first
to fly to her succor. lie did not show his patriotism
and courage by vain boasting, but in acts on the
field of battle, and in pledging his property to pay
his troops when the government could not do it.—
When did Shunk render the slightest possible ser
vice to the country or the State ? Echo answers,
when !
Mr. Bile HAMAN, it seems, has taken , the stump'
in this State. This is something new for the dis
tinguished Senator. Has he become alarmed? It
certainly looks as if he deemed it necessary to put
his shoulder to the wheel.
Courtzeriew or • MISTAKE.-The U. States
Gazette says We see it stated in the Locofoco
papers that Judge Owsley, who has lately been
elected Governor of Kentucky, voted against tho
Tariff of 1942. This is not true, as Judge Owsly
was not in Congress. Another man, the Hon. H.
W. Owsley, was a member of Congress from Ken
tucky and voted against the present tariff, because
it surrendered the distribution of the public lands;
and this was the reason why Mr. White and other
Whigs voted against it.
This correction will not, of course, be mode by
our opponents.
The press of business is now so great in the New
York Custom House that the Collector has been
compelled to exact an additional hour's service each
day from the clerks. In the Naval Office a similar
regulation has been put in force.

PtIBLIC MEETING..
At a meeting of the Cass township Clay Club
held at the house of William Brothers in Cassville,
on Friday evening the 30th of August, the follow.
ing resolutions, offered at a previous meeting, were,
on motion of Dr. George A. Miller, unanimously
adopted:
Whereas, The Democratic Whig Convention,
which assembled in Huntingdon on the 14th ult.,
placed men Lefote us to be supported for the differ
ent county offices in whose honesty and capacity
we have perfect confidence. Therefore be it
Reso/t;ed, That we look on the attempt to get up
a ticket in opposition to the regular Whig nomina
tions as a trick of the Locos and the men engaged
in it as disorganizers and enemies to the cause.
Resolved, That we will yield our hearty and wil
ling support to the regular nominations and recom
mend our friends throughout the county to the
same course.
Resolved, That we can beat out Locofocoism in
this county this fall—whether it assumes the name
of " The Peoples Ticket" or " Workingmen," or
puts itself under the guidance of the great " Un
hooked" himself.
After singing some good Coon Songs the meet
ing was addressed by Dr. Miller and E. L. Everett,
Esq.
Mr. Everett showed up some of the inconsisten
cies of the "Democrats" and exhorted all good
Clay men to vote for the regular Whig nominations
and stated that although ho was not a personal
friend of Mr. Armitage he knew he was an honest
man, and every way capable of filling the office for
which he was nominated and that he would there
fore most heartily and willingly support him.

used with considerable advantage by many families
in town, and in a few stubborn cases has produced
highly beneficial effects.--Rochester Daily Adv.
Editors. lavvyers, clergymen, and almost every
