The Locos and Dr. Bascom's Letter. : True to our expectation, the Locofoco presses Wire opened the flooll-gates of their slang upon the Dcy. Dr. Bascom, because he dared to write the the truth concerning the character of Henry Clay, when inquired of by Dr. Goble of New Jersep These slanderers are not to be silenced or driven from their favorite avocation. Henry Cly must needs be abused, villified and slandered—and when an honest man says all the charged brought ageing Mr. Clay by his traducers, are utterly and basely FALSE! then is not only Mr. Clay but Mr. Bas com and every one else who denies them, to be branded as a liar, a br;bed rascal, an immoral wretch, &c. The following article, which we copy from the Juninta Tunes, a Locofoco paper, speaks for itself. ThOise who have, like ourself, now for the first time heard the character of Dr. Bascom impeached, will perhaps wonder at the recklessness, the fay and madness of the Locafocos, in thus attempting to put Mr. Clay down and elevate Mr. Polk to the Presidency by wholesale abuse and in discriminate slander. MR. CLAY'S PRIVATE CHARAC TER, For the benefit of some of our charac ler loving whigs, we extract a short arti cle from the•'Plymoutb Rock,' in relation to the character of Henry Clay and that of Dr. BaScotn, who has been figuring largely, as 'character sustainer' tar thi• pink of wickednvssolebauchery, vice and crime of the whig party. • It is truly as ; tenishin4, to see what various devices and means are made use of to deny his hithertiS acknowledged desperate charac ter. Surely their last effort, is a most %Mllein! attempt to deceive the people. When they have to resort to such a man as Dr. Bascom, who is equally as reckless as Clay, to prove his good character, the people should beware, and inquire who this great Dr. is, and what is ins charac ter P They will be answered, that he is the man who presented a pis Tor. to the BREAST done of his fellow beings, soil . told him to make his peace with his Ma• ker ; and this was done while acting as a inister ot the Gospel. These are beau. tiful words indeed to time from a preach er of righteousness and good will towards all men. They are twin brothers in crime, and the old adage of 'birds of a feather 11uok tlether . , - snita • very Ivell the char- aefers of those Iwo ilistingu's'iril individ uals, Reader, ponder upon the following • Nets and reinviiher them when you COMP to cast your votes.for your Chief Magis• trate: In order to ()ulster up Mr. Clay's pri• vale character, it seems the whigs thought it expedient to apply to the President of Transylvania University for a certificate to whom Dr. Goble says "many consci.•n tinus, upright men, appear to have been led to rtgard Mr. C. as anything but an honest citizen—a Sabbath breaker, gainb• ler, profane swearer, (Sic." Dr. Bascom► very modestly hints that the charges are untrue; and says 'Mr. Clay, as is known to the whole nation, offers no claim to chrishan piety in the parlance of the char.. cites and in his second letter, he says, he should most cheerfully attest the good character of any or his neighbors.— Now by this we tint) , infer that he lives in a very moral, pure ~ c ighborhood, or in a neighborhood of lax principles and hab its, lOr it seems they are nil alike. Let us inquire into this sAject and as certain the cause of Dr. Bi''Mst' IN willing. ness to whitewash the character of his in timate and confidential friend Clay.— Is this the same man that was some years since through the influence of Mr. Clay, appointed Chaplain of the Kentucky Sen ate, and of whom, after officiating bemire that august body for the first time, Mr. Clay slaps a brother senator upon the • shoulder,exclaiming, “there, didn't I tell you lie would pray you into hell and out again in five minutes V' But the Dr. says he offers no claim to christian piety, and that the charges were false. What their constitutes a profane sweater? Is this the same Rev. Mr. Bascom, who, some years since, whilst officiating as Methodist preacher at the South, presented a pistol to the breast of a fellow man and told him to make his peace with God before he attempted to chastise him for some .offensive observa tions the Rev. gentleman had made in re lation to him? If so it seems even the Rev. gentleman himself would imbrue his hands in blood, rather than submit to a gentle chastisement from a man lie had probably rniured. Other Methodist cler gymen can tell, ay, do tell of Mr. Clay's lax morals whilst in the city of Washing t on,—of his visiting houses of assignation, &c. \%hy not call on them for cereitfi cates of character 1 If Mr. Clay is innocent of all these charges, he is a very unfortunate man, for nine•tenths of the people of the United States believe him guilty." The above appeared originally in the "Plymouth Rock," a Locofoco print, of course. But we have another specimen, nearer home. We copy the following paragraph from another Locofoco paper the Clinton Democrat of the 12th of September, in which Dr. Ammon' is charged with insincerity, and it is insinuated that -the Rev. gentleman has been bribed; for the editor wonders what office Hen. Bascom is to have for this certificate." s- TOE BASCOM LETTER, The whiffs think to make great capital nut of Preacher Bascom's certificate of Ilenry Clay's moral character. Wonder, what office Rev. Bascom is to have for this certificate ? But even suppose that Mr. Bascom is conscientious in this as sertion which we much doubt, what does it prove? Certainly nothing—fin• his knowledge of Mr. Clay's 'character is only spoken or. • Vermont Election. The returns from the GREEN" MOUNTAIN STATE are such as fully authorize us to assure our fticnds of the complete success of the Whig cause in Ver mont. The Hon. WILLIAM SLADE is unquestion ably elected Governor, by a very handsome major ity—the Whip having made n net gain of over TWO THOUSAND on the Governor's vote of the last year. In addition to the gratifying intelligence of the election of the Whig Governor we have to announce that a majority of the senators elected are Whigs —and that the majority of W/sig members elected to the House of Representatives is perfectly over whelming. , • . - It is, also, satisfactorily ascertained that Foot', Whig, is elected from the first Congressional Dis trictCOLLAMEll, Whig, from the second—and Manna, Whig, from the third—and, best of all that Drurison AN, the only Loco 7oco member of Congress frohi Vermont, is defeated, in the only Loco Foco District of the State—composed to Washington, Caledonia, Essex, Orleans and Lam oille Counties. There is no election in the fourth District. Maine Mlection. The Boston Attat of Wednesday morning has returns from 161 towns, which give the Locos a small majority for Governor. Very few members of the House or Senate have been elected, probably not a quorum of the House, the Abolition vote preventing election. It is not improbable that a majority of those elected are Whigs. The chances are, that onl: two members of Con gress are elected throughout the State—Say E n ANC s, Whig, in the • Kunnebeck District, by an overwhel ming majority: and Durnse, Loco, in the Cum berland—unless, perchance, Ronmsox, Whitt, should be found to have been elected in the Han cock and Washington District. srC The New (Menne Courier of the 24th ult. says thnt the certificates of naturalization issued by Judge Elliott, have been sanctioned by the State Convention, and that in case of a contested electiOn they will be deemed good and Tho Scott county (Missouri) jail was broken open a short time ago, and John McGee, charged with the murder, and Nicholas D. Stinette and Hamilton McGill, charged with horse stealing, made their escape. Mr. Joseph H. Wilson, of Wilsonville, Shelby county, (Ky.) has declared his intention of freeing his slaves, thirty in number, and sending them with a proper outfit to Liberia. Several of them have trades; all of them can read, and one can write. The Whig Mass Meeting at Lewistown, on Fri day last, was tho largest gathering hold in tho inte rior of Pennsylvania, thia• campaign. We have heard the number in attendance variously estimated from 4000 to 8000. Look on this Picture. While the Loco-focos are pointing out a few changes of individuals here and there, the Whigs are steadily revolutionizing whole States. Since the year came in we have redeemed The State of Connecticut, The State of Virginia, The State of Mary land, The State of Louisiana, The State of Indiana, The State of North Carolina. Now Look on this. The Locn-loco party lately sent out a 0 Polk Pyramid," in the building of which they introduced not only Pennsylvania and Tennessee, but Louisi ana, North Carolina, Indiana, and oven Maryland.

Many thousand people were present and the utmost enthusiasm was manifested on the occasion. The procession wasseveral voiles in length.— It was headed by GEN, MARKI,E of Westmoreland anti a number of Soldiers of the Revolution and of the last War 'in carriages. The Hon. HARMER DENNY acted as Chief Marshall. The Age states that the procession comprised less titan one half the audience which was much larger than the Convention of 1840, and was addressed by four speakers at one time. The Hon. WALTER FORWARD was chosen President of the Convention.— Large delegations were present from most of the western counties, and from Ohio and Virginia. NVesitnoreland county' alone turned out from 1500 to 2,000. The convention was addressed by some four or five speakers at the same time— among whom were the DOD. WALTER FORWARD, lion, J.
