Whig Principles.
"Tito principal objects which, I suppose, engage
the common desire .and the common exertions of
the Whig party, to bring about, in the Government
of the United States are :
1. A sou:. NATIONAL CURRENCY, regulated by
the will and authority of the nation.
2. AN anzuoaTs nave:qua, with fair protec
tion la AMERICAN brnowrar.
3. Just. nastmArsTs Or THSEXECUTIVE Pow
mi,imbracing farther reatrictions on the exercise
onhe veto.
4. A faithful administration of the PUBLIC no
...ettrr, with ate auerrAnta nisTnrnexiox of the
proceeds of sales of it among all the states.
- 5. for HONEST AND ECONOMIC. ADMINISTRA
TION or THE OcOVERNMENT, leaving public officers
perfect freedom of thought and of the right of suf
frage, but with suitable restraints against improper
interference in elec-tions.
6. An amendment of the Constitution, limiting
the incumbent of the Presidential office to a SIN
GLE TERN.
These objects attained. I think that we should
cease to be afflicted with bad administration of the
Giworninent."—Henry Clay.

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.

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 Great Pittsburg Convention.
We learn from the Pittsburg Spirit of
the Age that the Great Whig Convention
held in that place on Tuesday, was a truly
grand affair. 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. GIDDINGS of Old,m,
I Inn. ANDREW STEWART of Fayette, Hon.
Jonx H. Ewtxo of tVashington, Gen.
faux of Centre, Messrs. Damns of

In time Evening a very large Torchlight
Procession with some 500 or 600 trans
