    Polit's Near Neighbor
It will be recollected, says the Pennsylvania Tel
egraph, that during the campaign of 1844, the as
sertions of a Polk's near neighbor," which were
promulgated in the Union were quoted through the
State as unquestionable authority that Polk held
" the doctrine of Free Trade in UNQUALIFIED
ABHORRENCE." This was one of the schemes
used by the Locofoco organs, and orators to defraud
Vie People, and cheat them into the support of the
arum whom they KNEW was the avowed enemy
Of the Tariff. We give the following specimen of
the means used for that purpose, and trust that tho
tnion, to save itself from popular Indignation, will
give to the world the name of the base wretch
whom they put forth as "a near neighbor of Col.
Pqlk," and on whose " AUTHORITY " they declare
Polk to be in FAVOR OF "PROTECTION TO AMERI
CAN INDUSTRY," and to hold " THE DOCTRINE. OF
Face 'Flung IN UTTER ABHORRENCE! !!"
Now is the time for the Union . to give the name of
Folk's neighbor who was sent up to Baltimore to
inomulgate this " INFAMOUS FALSEHOOD,"
end aid on the game of deception, IF THEY
KNOW HIM ! ! Let the villain bo exposed, if
nny such exists—but we greatly fear that tide
.neighbor, with wham the Union "conversed at
Baltimore,"will prove to be a more " man of straw."
If not, wo aro sure that hie name will bo forth com
ing.
Our readers will now examine the 1, vrzz WHIG
FALSEHOOD" which follows, and let it go the rounds
for the benefit of truth and the exposure of brazen
faced Infamy and unblushing slander.
[Prom the Democratic Union, June sth, 1844.]
" Col. Polk and the Tariff---A Vile
Whig Falsehood l"
ig We perceive that the Harrisburg Intelligencer,
with the mendacity so eminently characteristic of
of the coon papers, denounces Col. Polk in ad
vance as an uopen Free Trade Theorist." The au
thority for this gratuitous assertion is, of course,
,not furnished by the Intelligeticer, as it is the pol
icy of Me WHIG PAPERS to deal in habitual
Ir MISREPRESENTATION both of the mon and
measures of the Democratic party. Now we hap
pen to KNOW and STATE UPON THE AU
7HORITY OF A 7'ENNESSEEAN with
whom we conversed at Baltimore—A NEAR
NEIGHBOR OF COL. POLK—Mat he holds
the doctrine of FREE 'PEACE in UNqUALIFIED
ABHORRENCE. He has never advocated it
and—NEVER WILL.—He is in favor of a judi
cious revenue Tariff, affording the AMPLEST
Incidental PROTECTION TO AMERICAN
INDUSTRY. HE as THE ESPECIAL FRIEND
OF THE COAL AND IRON INTEREST (I)
those two great objects of solicitude with Penn
sylvania, and believing PERMANENCE in our
laws to be of incalculable value, IS OPPOSED
To THE DISTURBANCE OF THE PRES
ENT TARIFF (! )
These facts WE state upon THE VERY BEST
AUTHORITY, and caution the Democracy of
this great State against listening to the MISREP
RESENTATIONS OF THE COONS. The
truth is, the strong names of POLK & DALLAS
have struck our enemies with such deep consterna
tion as to make them desperate in feeling, and un
scrupulous in the use of means."

Wo clip the following extracts from a letter to
the Philadelphia Engle, dated
U.S.l3nto SONE., ore Vzns Cnuz,Z
July 161 h, 1846. 5
Dear Friend :—Since my last to you, rothing
of importance has occurred, with the exception of
a little engagement between the Steamer Princeton '
and about two hundred Alex icons, who attacked the
crete while on shore after wood aid water, about
twenty miles to the winward of Vera Cruz. After
firing some thirty shells from their big guii, one of
which lodged in the centre of a crowd of Mexicans,
the latter left the field, carrying their wounded.
Only ono man of ours was hurt. • * *
Although we !moo an overpowering force herb
of ten vessels of war, with 2500 men and 290 guns,
such is the supineness of our Navy Department
that I do not believe we shall be allowed to make a
trial at the Castle. It is not supposed that Com
modore Connor possesses the vigor, cnterprize and
daring necessary to ensure success in such an un
dertaking.
Wo hear, through the officers of the English
squadron, who have tinily communication with the
city, that the more intelligent Mexicans are in favor
! of a speedy termination of the present war, and
would gladly accede to any terms to finish it. Their
resources aro failing, their revenue is destroyed, and
they aro saddled with a debt of eighty millions to
England, which they will never be able to liquidate.
Lost year the revenue arising from imports in this
city was millions, this year it will not amount to
1 thousands.
It iu with despondency that wo look upon the
castle and city of Vera Cruz, while we aro daily
passing by it—and not allowed to go near enough
to give them a chance of proving their boasts of
victory, and us an opportunity of proving to them
the fallacy of their boasts. Their castle is very
strong, and mounted by heavy guns—still I think
we now have sufficient force to compel them to
strike their colors. At all events I wish to have a
trial at them. Yours. C. H. H.
The following news is furnished by the Now
Orleans papers, brought by the steamships Alabama
and Galveston.
The accounts from Monterey represent
the soldier's as at work, on the fortifica
tion of the Bishop's house, but whether
the small force from Tampico has been re
inforced it is impossible to !eau n.
Nothing had transpired concerning the
object of the British naval officers who ar
rived at Point Isabel on a mission to Gen.
Taylor.
Instances are becoming frequent of per
sans bein g stopped and their money de
manded by Mexican free-booters, on the
roads leading Irons Matamoras to Pt Isabel
It is stated that Capt. Walker had re
turned from his expedition to :Monterey,
and delivered a report (said to be exceed
ingly interesting,) of the state of the coun
try through which he passed, &c.
There is no probabilty of any disposi
tion being made to dispute the advance of
the American troops between Camargo
and Monterey; and from what could be
learned, the Mexican force at the latter
point is very insignificant. There was
nothing authentic as to the approach of
Paredes..
There is no doubt, however, that when
our troops reach Monterey or its neighbor
hood, the possession of that town will be
fiercely disputed, as the town is by natnre
and art one of the most powerful and im
pregnable strongholds in Mexico.
On the sth inst., a Mr. Briest, printer,
in the De Soto Company of Louisiana vol
unteers, was accidentaly shot, and died on
the satne evening: '
On the 18th inst., a private belonging to
Maj. Featherston's Regiment of La. Vol.
unteers, was drowned.
Sonic men belonging to the Alabalma
Volunteers, in, attempting to cross the Rio
Grande, at the mouth, on the 4th inst., in
a small boat, While the sea was running
high on the bar, got frightened, and fear
ing lest they should be carried out into the
breakers, jumped out of the boat, thinking
they could swim ashore in making . the at
tempt three of them were drowned,*
Their names were not ascertained.
MATANIORAS, July 12,18'46.
News from Cainargo informs us that
the sudden and extensive rise of the wat
ers of the Rio Grande has overflowed that
town, and destroyed all the buildings but
six.
Illany lives haVe been lost, and thous
ands of cattle swept away. The inhabi
tants have taken refuge in Mier, and the
toilet neighboring places.
The road between this city & Reynoso is
so much land covered with water, and is
impassable.
. . .
S,veral regiments in our immediate
neighborhood have been compelled to shit t
their camps to higher land. The waters
are much higher than in reason they ought
to he, and are still rising, which will very
much retard our movements, as we have
not a sufficient number of boats to oper-
ate effectually on the river.
Our troops have commenced moving
into the interior, and in a day or two you
will hear of our being in possession of
Camargo, Mier, and Gum. •
I received a letter form a citizen of Ca
margo this morning, which states that the
people generally, from the mouth of the
Rio Grande to the mountains, are anxious
ly waiting our approach, hailing it as a
blessing. In tact the Mexican people
submit to circumstances with the best pas
sible grace, and they are at this moment
very much inclined to be our most inti
mate friends, but were such a word as
"defeat" applicable to the American ar
my, we should, en masse, have our throats
hudsomely cut. We appreciate their kind
attentions, treat them civilly as citizens,
and thrash them soundly as soldiers.--
Since we have been in possession of Ma
tainoras, I have always been of the opin
ion that the war was over. The enemy
never will make another stand. It is pos
itively known that Arisia fled from this
place with 4000 men and 12 pieces of ar
tillery, at a time when he had every ad.
vantage of position against our "little
force." We cannot therefore expect him
or any other Mexican ()Meer to meet our
"old Roup,ll and Ready" with a less force
than 4 to 1.
lu less than one month we shall liave
25,000 men in the field. Where can a
Mexican army be raised to meet us? 1 1 ,
have seen letters from the interior, ROM
private citizens, and from officers in their
army, and all go to prove my conviction
dist the fighting is over.
Matamoras is completely A tueriefinit
ed, eat' one half of the number of sitot.es
in the prinCipal street, are occupied by our
merchants and•settlers for the sale of all
description of merchandize, free of duty,
which enterprise will do more with the
citizens to effect a peace, than our 18
podnders. The Br. sloop•ol.war Rose is
of PUint Isabel, and we are anxious to
know the character and particulars of her
mission.
Our troops are in excellent spirits and
generally in good condition, anxious to
meet the foe.
PALO ALTO.
We do not concur in the opinion that
the fighting is done. The news from
Mexico lead us to a different conclusion.
The
,Mexican departments had in a meas
ure returned to their allegiance, and Par
edes was making freinds in all directions.
The Government party were growing
stronger, and the people were laying aside
their party leclinga,alal combining in fa
vor of active and stern resistance to the
United States.
Melancholy Accident.—The Hollidaysburg Stan
dard says:--"We regret to learn that a man named
Purim. Core, working as a carpenter on Plano 10,
was killed on Thursday morning. He was caught,
it is supposed, by the safety car and thrown on the
track, too much injured to move perhaps, and re
mained there unnoticed, being about the middle of
the Plano, until the car returning ran over him and
completed the work of death.
Not Satisfied.
CO' th 3 "party" it seems are not satisfied with
passing a British Free Trade Bill to break down the
industry of the country. The Senate has already
called up the Sub-Treasury Bill--whose title may
be defined in plaid words to be: "A till to with
draw the specie from general circulation, to create
a specie currency for officers of government, an ir
redeemable " rag-tag-and-bob-tail" currency for the
people, and to encourage defaulters and leg-treasu•
vers."
Toe E srEcT.—Tho Wilmington (Del.) Repitb•
lican says, we understand that several hands were
discharged in this city, by ono or two of our foun
dries or machine shops, on Saturday last, in conse
quence of the injurios and paralyzing tendency that
the agitation of McKay's Tariff bill has had upon
the business of tho country.
George It. Graham, one of the editors of the
North American, was arrested in Philadelphia on
Monday afternoon before last, by the Sergeant-at-
Arms of the Senate, and started for Washington
immediately. The cause of his arrest is under
stood to bo the publication of the Oregon Treaty
and accompanying documents, which ere supposed
to have been purloined by some one from the Sen
ate chamber, or else furnished to him for publication
by some member of the Senate.
Infanticide.
A coronet's inquest was held on Monday week
upon the body of a male infant, found dead upon
the premises of Mr. Day, in Huntington township,
Their verdict was, that its death was caused by
strangulation, and that their belief was that its
mother, Margaret Rodgers, was the murderess,—
Process was issued against her; but she has been
so ill that her removal to prison has not yet taken
place.--Adams Sentinel.
Railroad Accident,
A mournful accident occurred near Now York,
on the Erie Raittead on Ft iday last, accompanied
by loss of life and set ions injury to a number of the
passengers. The train, consisting of the usual bag
gage carsend four passenger cars, was passing over a
bt idge between Middletown and Piormont when the
bridge gave way, causing a .threaking up" of the
entit a train. Some two hundred and filly persons,
Including a school of young ladies under the charge
of a Miss Watkins, on a pic-nic excursion, wore in
the cars, and a large number were seriously injured.
Two persona were killed instantly, while several
others were so badly braised as to preclude all
hope of recovery.

has obtained the long sought for, and much
desired cicSideratumawith the Dental Pro
fession,
THE LITIIODEON.
Which is a substance suitable for filling teeth
which are too far gene by decay to admit of their
being filled with gold, silver, or arty other hard sub
stance. The principal advantages that this has over
all other substance is, it being of the consistency of
paste, is easily introduced into all tho irregularities
of the cavities without producing the least pain,
and then moulded so as to give the tooth its origi
nal form, In the course of a few hours it becomes
hard like stone, and will remain firm and incorrup
tible—preventing further decay—restoring the tooth
to its lost usefulness in masticating food.
Dr. S. has also the pleasure of saying that he has
discovered an
ANODZITM,
That will immediately alloy the most violent
tooth ache, and distroy the nerve of the tooth with
out producing the least pain. This is also a valua
ble discovery, inasmuch as all the preparations hith
erto resorted to for the purpose of destroying the vi
tality of the nerve, have produced the most excru
ciating pain for at least ton or fifteen hours. Moat
of the teeth that are usually extracted may be sav
ed by first killing the nerve, after which they may
be filled.
The full set of Paris instruments with rohich Dr.
S. extracts teeth, has never been exceeded in per
