YORE. Its Talent, Decency, Power, s and Enterprise Demonstrated, A rew Worps to Wiig Speake battle of principles, and of words, in this cam- aiga, beyond a doubt, to be fought in the open ield. The Press will furnich facts, make cugges- tions, Bpread intelligence, illuminate, aud inspire the public mind, but the telling blows now are to be blows cf the eae orators—of man before man. The enemy must be hunted out. His falsehoods must be struck down—his darkness dispelled—his fog cleared off. The proclamations, the bulletins, the arousing records are for us of the whig press— but an enemy such as we have to deal with, can be met only in the open field. {t is no war of ink alone, but of man with man, face to face. It is with delight then, We see the whole whig intellect ot the land awakened to aid the whig press. Their co-operation is irresistible for geod—for by those {wo means, we reach the whole of the people, and feel the whole public pulse. lt seems to us, and we have had the most extend- ed means of observation, the few weeks past, inali parts of the Union—that upon ptinciples, w ve nearly driven the enemy off the field — Ceriain it is, that im the great State of Pen_sylvania, we have completely driven him off the field on the Tarift quemion, and in vearly all of all the central, and Yew England States, the like is also the faci He yields to us—our blows have driven him from his perpendicaltr, In the central, Nerth-Westeta and Eastern States, his Texas issue has been go fatal to him, that he is fielding there too—while in the South, witaess Louisiana and North Carolina, he gain- novhing, in the very region where the issue was got up with the prepostercus impression that he could carry all before him. On the Sub-Treasury also, he is dumb -dumb as a log. He shirks and shakes off from the issue with a tremulous appre- heasion of the return of the fatalities uf 1840. Nor is he- certainly not ,in many parts of the Union, more successful in his opposition to the distribution of the proceeds of the public lands. Indeed, upon all matters ot principle, a majority of the people are decidedly, unequivocally, eniphatically against him, so much'so, thatif he could secrre victory, he would have the hardest kind of a struggle with his own party before he could reap any of the fruits of it, “the spoils” except. But the enemy has abandoned principle only the more to attack the man of the Whig party, its can- didate representing its principles! ‘A is no security for Henry Clay, that he has been in the public ser- vice of his own State twenty-five or thirtyfyears, and in the service of the United Stateain Congress, and in the administration of public affuirs as a member of the Cabinet, as well asa minieterabroad, and that he has held the highest offices \he public f.vor could bestow upon him, the Chief Magistracy except, always supported by his frie de and neigh- bors in hig own Kentucky—for, under the reitera- ted assertions of Locofoco demagogues and Loco- foco orators, there are hundreds of not over well informed WLETts who sally believe, (as most of them believed of General Harrigon,) that he is a “* murderer,” “a debauchee,” a perjurer,”” an audacious criminal, indeed, without Tespect for God or man. According to the stories ot these Locofoco writers and oratora, the Whigs have put up for the Chief Magistracy a man so bad that a Penitentiary would be too good a place for him, the worst man probably, they could find in their whole part —and according to them, too, the people of Kentucky have kept in Congress thismon- ster of a man over thirty years, end John Quincey Adams made him a member of his Cabinet, and James Madison sen’ him to negociate the ‘Treaty of Ghent, Now, theee charges, awful,for rather preposter- ous as they are, we cun tell whig orators must not be passed over. The good and the brave Gen Hartivon lost many a vote from men who igno- rantly believed him ‘a coward,” “a eeller of white men into slavery,” “a notorious debauchee,” cplent ofthe present of “a petticoat? from women of Chilicothe, (Ohio,) &c. &e., for the whigs too often proudly scorned to stoop to answer such chorges. Having fought out now, suceere- fuily as we believe, the good fight of principles, we rust turn our attention to Henry Clay. ‘they will necaee us of “idolatry,” whea we tell them the honest tra_h of his great public services, but no matter for.that. Their own assaults demand and justify our eulogies, and provoke our enthu- siasm. Hitherto, when we have convinced a man that whig principles were his principle-, and for the int»rest of his country, it was reasonable to ex- pect the enemy would give in, and let him vote the whig ticket. Notso, however, now—for the convert 1s ussaied with the outcry, that the whig candidate is a morster, a very Beelezebub of a man. We mean to say, then, this has become a ersonal battle, as well us a battle on principle. Ve mean to say a whig orator should show his au- dit: re that he speaks for a good man, as well as for a good cause. We mean to say, too, that if we now concentrate our attention to this point, popu- lar as whig principles are, Henry Clay has a public and private jife,nidalong arrey of public servi- cee, better calculated to arouse and develope pub- fic enthusiasm than any thing else we can offer to the public mind. Contrast his services with Polk’: ! Rawsack the histeries of both. Compare man with man. Let us have, if itbe wished, « person- al contest between Clay and Polk, Ask, who de- serves public favor for public services? Hold up the prolonged, the illustrious services of Henry Clay in yeech, insonx, and on the emblazonment of public banners—and mark us for false prophets, if there be not then struck an electric cord of en- am tar exceeding any thing we saw or heard 1840, and more sympathetic and sarin then any thing said or done even for the gallant o! id hero of Tippecanoe. Pusiic Mgetinc arp SPgakERs.—We protest against the bad habit some of our whig friends have of calling upspeakers, connected with the press whose duties compe! them to appear at all public meetings, more or less. Whig editors, who have to toil to report whig doings long after their fellow tizens are in their beds, should be let off trom this labor, whenever they desire to be. We are willing to bear our sl ot work in the campaign, but we cannot do e in two services, the same night. Again, ppenen cake be procured, when ay are expected to address public meetings. The fact is, our public meetings are got up too carelessly. Spenkers ought alwaysto be forewarn- ed, in order to be forearmed. No man, can im- premptw do justice to himself, or to his cause. Above all, public. meetings should not be got up without the certainty of having speakers. Nothing is more provoking than to lose time in calling vain- ly for absent speakers, or more unjust to the peo- ple, than thas assembling of them, without provi- ding them the means of instruction or amusement. Narine’s Clay and Frelinghuysen Letter, Paper for Whig correspondence, goes like wildfire. It can be Foc: st the store of the inventor, and at the Whig Club Reading rooms. ‘The great ‘ambler,” “a NEW YORK COURIER & ENQUIRER. Several of the locofoco papers are proclaiming the falsehood that Mr. Clay is an advocate for as- auming the State debts, and among others we un- derstand the Pennsylvanian is making that agser- tion. We learn epee J other journals, for we do not receive the Penusylvanian, but we take it for granted that the fact is so, and we say therefore that the Pennsylva ought to take shame to it- self; forit has some character to look to, and ought not to trifle with it by recognizing and reite- rating the paltry figments of the degraded portion of ics own party press. Mr. Clay has never made any declaration to warrant the statement that he is favorable to the assumption of the debts of the States, and those who started such astory knew it as well aswedo. Mr. (slay is certainly in favor of distributing the proceeds of the public lands, and will, we dare say, be very happy to see the in- debted States so using their share, as to hasten the payment of their debts, but no man has the right to say he wishes the United States to assume those debts. We have no evidence of his wish to take upon the Nation the privilege of paying either the debts of our own States or those of foreign coun- tries. The Pennsylvanian and its fellow laborers are exceedingly anxious to ‘‘assune” some fifteen or twenty millions of debt owed by Texas, but they are in fits for fear Mr. « lay or somebody else should do something to assist some of the States of oor own Union, in petting tid of their pecuniary embarrasements. These stardy ‘Texan patriots are very pretty people tobe sure, to talk about Mr. Clay’s advoeacy of “assumption.” , The Post profesees to be opposed to the annexa- tion of Texas, and to do it justice, it has urged some of the strongest points that could be made in opposition to that infamous project, both editorially and by well written communications from its cor- respondents, and yet that same Post declares its intention to pp rt Mr. Polk for the Presidency— the very Mr. Poik who received his nomination expressly upon the ground that he was in favor of that measure, and who never would have been Leson of for such a station but for his known and fy a repeatedly avowed friendship for it, and decided and well known opposition to the pen equal protective tariff. Now let us look a litle at the beautiful consistency of locofocoism |The kven- ing Post supports Polk, whose (avor for what the Post professes to consider a most pernicious mea- sure, i@patent, acknowledged and fipned in, be- cause Polk is opposed to a tariff, whilst other por- tions of the democracy ground their support upon the pretended fact that he is in favor of a tariff! The only thing for which the Evening Post has any excuse for supporting him, is. the very thing the pie aor locofocos are urging in his favor, but with this rather material difference, that they go for him for his friendship for the measure, while the Post will vote for him vecause he is against it! The course of the Post in relation to Mr. Polk in connection with the Texas question, is, however, the strangest, perhaps that ever marked a public print mal es any pretension to consistency, or to character of any kind for that ma‘ter. It acknow- ledges the candidate to entertain notions diame- trically opposed to its own ina matter ofgreat mug- nitude, admits that he is in favor of a meagure which the Post has repeatedly characterized as “iufamous”—(yes, infamous, we make the asser- tion upon a full knowledge of what we can prove) —and yet that print does not hesitate to intorm us that itis going to support such a man for the Presi dency, because he goes against another measure whict, the Post opposes also; some of its brethren atthe same time electioneering for Mr. Polk be- cause he ie favorable to that measure. If there ever has been before, a party or party journal car- rying on a political contest upon such principles, or rather such flagrant want of principles, we have not happened to come across them in history. The Massachusetts Locofocos are in astew about their candidate tor Governor; one portion of them led off by the ‘Bay State Democrat,” being ex ceseively indignant thar David Henshaw should be thought of for that office, and Rantoul, Bancroft and others have their triends and wnfriends tor the nomination; so on the whole there is a good deal of digtress in the family. All this strikes us as ultoge- ther unwise as well as unnecessary ; for we should not think there was either a great deal of honor or a great deal of pleasure in being beaten half to death by the Whig candidate, as any one is sure to be, we take it, who may be set up by his opjo- nents. The better way would be to set up Marcus Morton, for he is used to it, _ Great preparations have been making for some time past for a grand barbacue to Mr. Senator Mc- Duffie, at field, S C., but that gentleman’s health has broken down again, and he cannot at- tend. His physicians have told him that he must keep himselt quiet and tranquil, und avoid all ex- ertion and excitement, and the ‘‘barbacue” is, therefore, postponed until the Senator becomes tranquil; which, we take it, amounts to indefinite postponement, for Mr. MeDuttie is not very likely to reaeh that state of mind during his natural life. He and his friends will never be happy and at rest tll the truth of the forty bale theory 1s established, the Union divided, and South Carolina set up as a separate sovereignty ; and neither of these events will take piace, we trust, for several centuries—the first one will certainly never be realized till nullifi- cation can manage to change the nature of truth and upset the demoustrations of mathematics. [Correspondence of the Courier and Enquirer.] ‘ Rochester, Aug. 4, 1844. A meeting of ‘‘Democra!s opposed to the An- nexation of Texas,” was held yesterday at the Court House in this city. It was respectably at- tended, and excited no little interest, as it was the meeting called by the “Rochester Circular, ”? con- cerning which so much has been said. George W. Pratt, Esq., was called to the chair. Resolu- tions denouncing in strong and eloquent terms the infamous plot of Texas annexation, and asserting the right of democrats to hold and express opin- ions of their own on great ipublie questions, were unanimously adopted. J. D. Husbands, Exq. ad- dressed the meeting in a speech of great cogency. and sloneees and was followed in a similarstrain by GW. Pratt, Esq. The meeting affords a cheering proof that even the torce of party drill cannot altogether stifle the strong repugnance felt by a portion of the Locofocos to the disgraceful is- sue which required the sacrifice of Van Buren and the nomination of Polk. It was well asked by one of the speakers, ‘Who expected the nomina- sta. pf ‘Polk? The more honest portion of our political opponents begin to velieve uit even vie- tory in this contest would be dearly purchased by means so disgraceful. One of the gentlemen who addressed the meeting, explaived the somewhat mysterious fact of the nemination of Dallas :—*‘In 1832,” said he, ‘ Democrats were accustomed to regard George M. Dallas asthe worst kind of a Bank man—tar worse than a Bank Whig. He re- sisted all the eflorts of General Jackson to crush the mon-ter, and was the willing agentot Nicho- las Biddle. And | have seen no evidence of his repentance. Do you ask, fellow Democrats, how it was that this old Bank agent came to be the De- mocratic nominee for the second ¢flice in the go- vernment? I will tell you. He wrote the first published letter in favor of Texas! That was the mantle broad enough to cover his bank trans- greseions, The Texas fountain, it would seem, sufficient to wash out the blackest political stain.” Several attempts were made to disturb the meet- ing, and party hacks in abundance were there to mark and report those who were bold enough to express their honést sentiments. The attempts at disturbance, however, were foiled by the ability and tact of the gentle ly chairman, and the meeting passed off in a manner highly creditable to allconcerned. A resolution was passed request- ing the publication of the proceedings in the demv- cratic papers here and at Albany. Within the last week the Locos have held two “first rallies of the Democracy” at the Court House. Seymour addressed the first, and Foster the second. Last evening a mecting fur exceed- ing in numbers both the Loco meetings, was held at our Council House,to listen to a powertul sprech from Samuel Starkweather, and the Hon. Senator Rhoades. Meetings large and enthusias- tic are held almost daily in the towns, and a spirit prevails far surpassing that of 1840. You may set old Monroe down tor 2000 majority for Henry Clay. One of Mr. Wright’s triends trom St. Law- tence, a prominent politician, was here last week, and greatly ufflicted the barn burners, by the in- formation that Wright will positively lecline a nomination for Governor. Yours, M. NEW YORK TRIBUNE. CAUGHT THEM AT IT! {From the Newark Morning Post of Saturday } How tHe Taniry sensrits Hince-Maxsas —An indus- trious and wurthy mechanic who is about to be driven from his business and anne the Me er of the pre- sent tariff, Caen to us lately how it protected him — Formerly under Mr. Clay’s Compromise Bill, the iron of which he makes his hinges, was Reesra wy with’a duty of twenty percent. By the present bill he is prutected 30 percent. Which one would « “4 isten per cent better than the old bill. Buton the other hand, the particular kind of iron he wees in his business ho to be charged with a dnty of about 126 pericent, and as it cannot be made in this country avy cheaper than it can be imported under this enormous he cannot procure his:materialset such @ rate as will ensble him to compete with the foreign hinge-maunfacturer, and hence he must stop. He says if — would let him alone he could do a profitable jusiness. We cannot possibly find time or rooin to refute all the falsehoods told against the present Tariff, but this one we will nail. The duty oniron by the present Tarriff ie as follows: Bars or Bolts perton, $17 Pig do. ton, 9 Do. rolled, a 6 on or Scrap do. 4 Cast Iron Butts or Hinges, 24 cents per pound, or $46 per ton. . A i But more: The Tariff as It Is provides that in no case shali the duty on @ manufactured article of Iron or &teel be less than fifteen per cent§above the raw material. See here: § 4, clause 2— Provided, That all articles tec factured, not otherwise provided tor, shall pay the same rate of duty, as if wholly manufactured: provided ab so, That no articles manufactured from steel, sheet, rod, hoop, or other kinds of iron, shall pay a less rate of duty than is chargeable on the material olwhich it is composed,in whole er in part, paying the highest rate of duty either by weight or value, and a duty of fifteen per centum ad vale- rem on the cost of the article added thereto. | See how piste a tale puts down this Loco-Foco assault on the Tariff! . But not merely is the assertion of the Post en- tirely talse with respect to the present Whig Tariff, bat it is strictly true with regard to the Loco-Foco eubstitute reported by General McKay, and voted for by three-tourths of the Loco-Focos in the House, including every one of those from Polk’s own State. That Tarifi bill levies specific duties of $15 per ton on Bar and $20 on Rolled Iron (ex- cep for Railroads, when it would pay but $10,) while on Cast or Butt Hinges and all other manu- factur-s of Iron (Steel excepted) it levies a duty of thirty per cent ad valorem for one year, alter which it is to be reduced to twenty-five per cent. Thus by this Polk bill the duties on many if no most Iron Manutactures would be lower than the duties on the raw material, and the Tariff aflord + direct bounty to British faint American In dustry! In other words, the British manufacture) would get his wares through our Custom Houser for less duties than his American rival must pay on the raw material whereof to make just such wares! —Reader! when yourge any Loco-Foco charges against the present Tariff, just look into the little you will tract entitied The Tarifl as It Is, an generally find there the retutation Nortwkrn Pennsyivania—There were large and enthusiastic W! ‘Mass Meetings of the Whigs of Susquehanna Co , Pa., at Montrose onthe 15th, and ot those of Bradford county,atTowanda, on «he 17th inst. The latter is estimated at 5 to 7 Several towns had more voters in procession than qbey ever gave whig votes. The speakers were ion. Edward Henick, Col. John Swift, ef Phila- delphia, L. G. Fancroft, and Ezra S. Sweet, of Oswego Josiah Randall, who had expected to be present, was detained at Sunbury by sickness, and the Buckeye Blacksmith was also absent, though ex- pected. The greatest care should be used on these Occasions not to disappoint the people of a single speaker, if any thing short of breaking necks will get him there. New Jensry.—The Whigs of old Morris had a glorious meeting at Walnut Grove on Saturday — An esh pole, 112 teet long, was raised amid the cheers of some 2000 whigs, and spirited addresses delivered by Dr. Goble, Cortland Palmer, Esq . Judge Duer, and Senator Miller. Upwards ot } ladies were in attendance. Horace Greeley will address the Clay Club of pemingbars, Sullivan county, on Saturday ek, at 2P. M. of this we _ 0G The Puatayx, No 15, just published, con- tinues its criticism of a recent essay of O. A. Brownson, making sundry insidious thrusts at the system of Fourier, und hackneyed charges of ‘ ir- religion,” &c., and the manner in which he is handled, while it must convince every one who jat the doctrine of Association rests upon igh and invincible principles of justice and trath, cannot fail to teach Mr. Brownson a lesson in re- gard to exmmeeeiog opinions on a subject he doesnot understand. The present and preceding numbers of the Phalanx contain the essay entire of Mr. rownson, which appeared in his last review. An extremely interesting account of Brook Farm, the Association n joston, by a iter, a gentleman of high standing of this city, w’ also be found in the present number. The idea of Industrial Association must first be realized by men who embrace it, not for their own sakee, but for those of the Hutnan Race, and who are right willing to sacrifice and suffer in its be- half. Those who adopt itfrom a lower motive than this will certainly be disappointed, and will do injury, not service, to the cause. There must be mistakes, migcalculations, ‘perils from false brethren,’ and failures, to be encountered and overcome before the decided triumph of Agsocia- tion is realized. The sun-shine advocates of this Reform will be driven off a dozen times before it is accomplished. Now, this five-hour-a-day fancy comes in after the great result has been attained. We must first settle that Association in Learning, in Industry and in Living, is practicable at all. To effect this is work for men (and women too) who are willing 'o work all hours; and have rough fare at that. Ulti- mately, when every arm is rendered effective in the higheet degree, (which cannot be for some years) five hours a-day will be labor enough for those who are content to live and learn. But it :s a waste to talk of this until the first step in advance has been decidedly taken. We must, firet rescue Life from incessant devotion to sordid anxieties and mean cafes) afterward we inay talk of devot- ing it to Literature arid other lofty ends. NEW YORK DEMOCRAT. CanpipaTE For Governor.—We are gratified to learn from several quarters of the State, that no dif- ference of opinion exists among those who really desire the success of the democratic party, as to the necessity of Bomuneiing Bilas Wright ‘as a can- didate for Governor—and this opinion is not confin- ed toa particular district, but prevails generahy.— What prudent politician can look on the vast pre- pean and organization of the enemy in this State, and le hesitate to bring forward our strong- est man? In the western district, which is their strong hold,fthey have manned every town and county, and intend to sweep every hole and corner to bring out their whole torce—tl ey talk wildly of coming dewn to Cayuga bridge with 15,000 majcr- ity. Suppose they should succeed by 10 or 8000, ought.wenot be prepared with our well known ma- jorities to OvercOMe that yute, and how cpr we ring out all our strength in the river counties—in the south eustern tier, and in the north, unless we bring our strongest man into the field? With Silas Wright us our candidate, we can carry in Polk and Dallas by 15,000 ; with a candidate less popular we must fight every inch of ground. There is but one course ot policy in this matter,and we must satisfy the party in other States that we are sincere that there is no coldness among our friends in the eup- port of Polk—that we intend to buckle on the ar- mor and go into this fight for victory. Even amon the truest friends of Gov. Bouck it is not doubte that Silas Wright can carry the State, but they think that it would be illiberal to nominate any other but the present Governor, without stopping to inquire whether we can elect him. We again repeat that our duty is to noniinate the man who can secure the most votes, and who is most to be relied upon—in carrying out the principles of the party. Youna Men’s Centrat. Hickory AssociaTion.— This isthe cognomen of a new regiment in the de- mocratic army, icine se of young men who, in the vigor of youth, have enlisted in the glorious contest in which we are engaged under the banner of Polk, Dallas, Oregon, and the lone star. They have held but one meeting, yet upon their roll may be seen the names of many of the stars which adorn our political firmament. They hold their cond regular meeting on Thursday evening next, at 8 o’clock precisely, at Tammany Hall. fe are requested to state that punctuality is necessary, as business of importance will be transacted. y success attend their efforts, and we think that in this city of democratic young men it is unneces Ssry to urge upon our friends to be present, feeling confident that on Thursday evening old Tammany will re-echo with the shouts of thousands, re- solved to be free. We forgot to mention that James T. Brady, Esq. is President of the Associa- tion, and Messrs. Charles Price and J. M. Henry, Secretaries. “Tuy arg Comina !—Tuy ang Comin !”—As the people are now becoming better acquainted with democratic principles and measures, and learn their true tendency, they discover the deception and fraud heretofore practised upon them by the whigs, and hesitate not a moment to repudiate them. The people are every where rising in con- demnation of whiggery, and the democratic mil- lenium is at hand. Behold how they come in! Briauton, Liv. Co., July 24th, 1844. _ Dear Faruer,—How do Polk and Dallas go in New York? Everybody out here goes for Polk. It is nothing but **Polk and Dallas.” There is not a whig tavern-keeper on the Grand river road from Detroit to Brighton, except R—, and his wife is a democrat.

Waricut—Annexation.—Some of the pre tended friends of Mr. Wright, who are manifes- ting their friendship by an attempt to place him in an attitude of hostility te the only Farmes Go- vernor we have ever had, against his own wishes and sentiments, are deing him the additional in- justice of placing him in their ranks on the Texas questi Mr. Wright voted against the ayety of Annexation, and they eagerly lay hold of this fact to support the insinuation that he is Cr to an- nexation. The assumption that Mr. Wright 1s op sed to annexation is as unfounded, as is that that fe is opposed to the re-nomination of Governor Bouck. Itisnotso. He is Fes y A mee in that sition by his pretended friends because misery [ores company, and the Pee rarey misery can get, the better satisfied misery willbe. ‘the Treaty of Annexati ind annexation itself were not viewed by Mr. Wright as being identical, notwithstanding the etlorts of that concentration of modern wisdom which the namber “seven” was anciently supposed to indicate, to make them ap- pear so, The question of annexation, he regarded as a much broader question, ated to the Ame- rican people as an element of the approaching con- test than was the question of the treaty as presented to the Sencte. Opposition to that treaty was in his opinion, opposition toimmediate annexation. It is entirely consistent with Mr. Wright's vote that he should be in favor of immediate annexation, and the attempt to place him in a false position is an attempt to injure him and the cause. He has no teeling in common with those who pervert the use f his name to such bad purposes. He is too at headed and sagacious, and too deeply attach- to the democratic party to think or feel differ- ently from the great mass and body of his demo- tic brethren. Ajl who know the man appre- this conclusion his worth would come to t! ithout bec any thing from him. But there are so many false prophets who have undertaken e task of thinking for Mr. Wright, and of over- meeting his own thoughts, that they will believe nothing, or rather will not have others believe any- thing but their own false vaticinations. We feel called upon, however, to say that the Evening Post, although it has never seen fit to do Mr. Wright the ustice to announce, as he himselt desired it should e annonnced, to the public, that he would not dis- tract the party by being a candidate for Governor, has extracte: ur article from another paper, in which the fact is announced, that Mr Wnght, ata meeting in Gouverneur, in St. Lawrence county, “avowed himself in favor of the annexation of Texas, while he disapproved of the late treaty and correspondence.” Fellow ParROgtey be on your guard? Do not allow yourselves to be deceived. When you see persons at this crisis attempting to create and multiply issues within the party, beware of them. Follow not their cause—their hearts are not right. It is the part of patriotism at this junc- ture to sinkfall minor considerations,and to do bat- tle against the common eres toe the success of the great principles we hold. 'e have a glorious rospect betore us. United we can overthrow the Ross of our adversaries. Wright is with us. Van Buren is with us. The voice of the glorious hero of the Hermitage is loudly calling upon every pat- riot son to put on his armor and go forth in the de- tence of his country—to vindicate and defend and uphold the principles of the Democratic party — Whose voice will ye listen to? The voice of pat- Tiots and of patriotism? or the voice of those who in“confidentialwhispers” “interpolate” their doubts into the creed of the D-mocracy, as voluntarily and unanimously decler d in national convention. Those double attempts to injure Mr. Wright are nothing but the efforta of those who arrogate to themselves such a quantity of conscience that they can scarcely keep themselves easy within the Dem- cratic party. ‘e have all heard of the stick that was so crooked that it could not ‘ie still. They are the crooked sticks of the Democratic party. The straight sticks, the graceful young hickoriés, stand upright, orif they bend at all, itis the graceful waive yiel jing to the popular breeze that is pluying among their green branches, discoursing eloquent music, and joining fn the grand chorus— ‘Ail the country is rising, To put down Clay and Frelinghuysen. Svrcipr or a Coon —The biped coona have sunk into such diegrace that their fellows, of the qua- druped species, are getting to be quite ashamed of their company. Rather than be compelled to asso- ciate with bipede in such bad repute as the federal whigs, some conscientious old coons have actually committed suicide. An instance of the kind was related by a democrat recently in his speech at a hickory Yaising which took place in one of the Western States. He said the whigs of St Louis had caught and chai ‘A coon oppoeite the Mis- souri Republican office. This coon was dressed up like a British officer, with a red flag fastened to his head, and madeto walk on a narrow plaiform. One day, when the whigs were gazing with delight upon him, from the street, the coon jumped from the platform and hung himself—evidently disgusted with the part he was made to perform. The sur- rounding whigs, having partaken deeply of hard brandy, thought the hanging of the coon was a part of the show, and they never came to his rescue until he was quite dead ! ‘The editor of the New York Plebeian proposes a tariff onlies. We suppose he wishes to protect the home manufacture, in which he and his brethren of the loco- foco press have embarked so extensively.—Louisville Journal ri \ With such monopolizing competitors as the federal whigs to contend against, it would be folly for any democrat to think of embarking in that line of manufacture. Why, the whig monopolists have a ’Prentice at the business, in Louisville, who is the greatest fabricator of lies that ever escaped the gallows. He gets up lies faster and puts more of them in circulation daily than any ten craftsmen of the art in the world. Asa speci- men of his handicraft we have selected the above paragraph, quoted from. the Louisville Journal, which is a lie made by him out of whole cloth. In reply to the remark of a whig paper, that “beautiful young ladies are making whig speeches,” the Springfield (Lilinois,) Times says: “ Beautiful Sem borerg 7Onee ladies are spinning and weaving, knitting and sewing, making butter and cheese, and attending to their own business generally, while the matrons are nursing the ‘little ones,’ he he © Sucker State,” 4 ATIVE AMERICAN.” —INey appear to go oll lengths in Wisconsin in favor of genuine Native Americanism.

Tue Counrry —The country is prosperous—no one denies the fact. It was not prosperous in 1840 —no one will deny that. Why has it changed, and to whom is the change owing? The whigs say that this delightful calm of the country is the result of their measures—they de- nounced John Tyler because he would not let them enact oppressive laws. What,fthen, has produced ut There is but one answer to this. The active agent in effecting this good has been the adminis- tration of John Tyler. The mingled positive and negative measures which he has adopted—the rc. tions proceeding from himself, and the restraints he has imposed upon others, has freed the countr from the incubus of excessive legislation, and suf. fered her to go on her way rejoicing Democratic without being ef an ultra stamp, radical, yet not in- novating, and eff-ctual without parade, the admin- istration has produced all that is desirable, and ac- complished ‘the greatest good of the greatest number.” Party leaders, who have sought in vain to use it for their purposes, may denounce it; but it has the confidence, and will receive ‘he support of the people. A bitter experience can alone teach us that the citizens of this country will retuse to sus- tain John Tyler, and award to ie J : o him commendation for his democratic and patriotic acte. We ere anxious toysee the democracy united. We are anxious to preserve party harmony by a temper- ate and conciliatory course. But the time of solicitation on our part has past. The k has been drawn on both sides. Propositions must come from the other side, and quickly, or not at all. We are confident im the power of truth, and in the just claims of our candidate. We rely upon the issues he makes in this contest. They are Hebel national. We believe a decision upon them involves the prosperity of this nation for years. We are ready to sustain him. We expect to succeed ; but as nothing is impossible, we may fail. The event remains with time. If we be overcome, if we should be forced to succumb to one ef the most infamous conditions on record, if the self-convicted treitors of Albany and St. Louie, shall dictate to the people, then the freemen of the 7 eee are shorn of one half their independence. After such a result, individual opinion has no power of expression, and individual action 1s at the mercy ot a few designing men. ‘The nation sinks to a deep slumber, from which she awakens to enter only on the dull, passive existence of a despotism, or the fierce and bloody strife of a continued anarchy. It we, who cin demand justice for our friend, are to be trampled under foot by reck- less leaders, then we are serfs, whose only privi- lege is to rail at our masters, and grumble at the work which we are forced to perform. The re- pets will no longer exist; an aristocracy of com- ined wealth and intrigue will take its place ; and a loathsome disease will fix itself upon the body of the nation—a disease only to be cured by the remorseless knife of a bloody revolution. Youna Puumby’s Tramrinas—No. 1.—Young Phumby popped into an omnibus yesterday, and passed np Broedway. He thus discoursed to Phiggs on his return: : — On my left was a great fat man, with amber eyes, red nose, and a calico complexion. —Calico complexion! — Yes! filled with blotches of red, purple and yellow ; mottled and arranged carelessly, but with agrent eye to eflect by the artist. — Artist! 4 ‘ —Certainly—Rum ; he paints with great judg- ment. He took snufl—I mean the calico-taced man, avd a beaulitul draft of wind disseminatea half the contents of his box through the omnibus Ijerked back my head and knocked it against a ludy on my right. [commenced to apologise, but the snuff box began to do its work, and my apolo- gy was cut short by the premonitory symptoms of a sneeze. Ilooked around s'rugelig against the effort, and saw uy neighbors inthe same predica- meat. The facial muscles of a little thin gentle- maa directly opposite, were working themselves np to frightful contortions—a servant girl with an im- mense band-box was euffering in her efforts to re- press sternntation—the snuft had affected—at-chee! at-chee! went all the rest in succession, and at last the original snofl-taker, the cause of all this de- lightful trouble, started off in a bass solo of eneez- ing, that nearly shook his amber eyes out of their sockets, and made his mottled face change colors like a dying dolphin. I pulled the string—paid my fare, and sprang into the street. The omnibus whir- led y, and | strolled up the sidewalk rej from a death by the visitation jollowed 7 , and asked me for a penny. “Only one, sir; mother’s starving!” 1 gave her some coppers. —~Coppers! do you carry such things? —Yes, and glad to have them. 1 gaye her some coppers, although | was morally certain she hed ; but then it was nothing te lose, and perhaps the |it- tle wretch was in want. Some drunken mother probably beats and ill treats her, or some brute of a father cufls her severely, without fault on her part, orno more than the faults common to the ig- norant Then I strolled up the street and stopping at the Alhamra, contemplated that fanny dancing ball for a few moments, and then called for an ice. Oh! seventh heaven of Mahomet! tucn an ice. The flavor so delicious—the smooth luscious pre- paration glided down my_ throat, while poetical thoughts tilled my brain Talk of Nisgara!

Natunatrzation Laws —8in—As my econd communi cation bas been probably thrown under the table because it was not written ‘‘legibly,” I take the liberty to send another, in hopes that it may meet a betterfate. 1 think it the mor rtant because there seems to bean st- tempt to mystify the power of Congress on the subject of the alization laws ; at atime, too, when, if ever, they should be well understood. ; We can assure Gur sensitive friend that “his second communication” was “legible” enough, aud would certainly have appeared 2g soon as we could get time to send the “‘antidote with the poison.” The writer has not favored us with his real name, and therefore has no claim upon us, but es we wish to give every opportunity for a ci cussion upon the “constitution and the lew,” cheerfully give ita place We shrewdly suspect, however, that ‘American Republican” is not ovly learned in the law, but also a “judge” of the law, which is of itself a very good reason why we we willing to depart from our standing rule. We are happysto find that he tas pretty much abandoned hig first ground and has finelly come over upon ours; so far at Jeast as the law is con- cerned ; though we may differ as to the policy — We have frequently acknowledged that ** Congress has the exclusive power of passing uniform natural. ization laws,” and that citizens of one State are entitled to all the privileges, &e., of the citizens of the several States, and that, with the exceprion he ake of, “the naturalized citizen is placed by the constitution of the United States, upon the same footing as the native born citizen.’ We think that enough has been said upon those points, as to how far any citizen is effected in his electoral rights by such a provision The privileges epoken of in the constitution, only relate to the right of the citizens of the United States, and not as to citizens of mdividual States. We think it clear, that all can be placed upon equal footing, without all en- jeying Ate elective franchise ; or at Jeast we know that such is the case as practiced since the forma- tion of our government. We admitted the other day that should Congress extend the period of probation to twenty-one years, instecd of five years, that in our State, and also in many others, it would effect a remedy, £0 far as voting is concerned. But, how queer for us to go to Congress, where twenty-six States are re- presented, in order to get a law passed, when the game end could be accomplished so much easier in our State Legislature ! More than tnat; would it be a fair way of treating a State, to pars suc law, when the Constitutions have been frame: the right of suffrage regulated upon the basis of ra law of naturalization? How do we know ut that our own, and every other State, would, upon the passage of suci: a law, immediately take measures to ulter their Constitutions so us to de- feat the very object of the Jaw? There certainly could be no effectual relief by such a law, «nd those States who are not yet ripe for cuch a mate- rial change, would not suffer it to control them any longer than possible, We are not in favor of thus sir up a law, merely for a temporary period. ut go for a thorough, substantial remedy, wgree to by the voluntary will and voice of the people, and engrafted inthe general and State Consutu- tions. It ig stated, that ‘should Congress pass a law extending the period to twenty-one years before an alien can be naturalized, it will immediately take effect in twenty States ; and that this is the only possible way in which this object cau be attained in those States.” We do not know exactly what the writer means by this. Does he meen that the States oar RHE this about, and that Congress alone can doit? Js it not as easy fer one State to alter her law, as itis fora nation? Or does he mean to say that those States never would, of their own accord, make the change; and, therefore, Congress must do it for them? It that be the cuse, the States will not remain ina state of co-ercion long, but follow in the wake of Illinois, and declare “all white male inhabitants, who have resided in the State six months, to be qualified to vote at the elections.” He says, too, that “the States may extend the right of suffrage, but they cannot restrict it, without nullifving the law of Congress. We do not think that much “ potency” is needed to explode such a doctrine. The Siates have as good a right to restrict us to extend the right of euf- frage. At lenst they have up to this time claimed that right, without even being called to an account for their presumption. Our State restricts the right of voting, by refusing any but those who have re- sided in the State for one year preceding the time of election; and restricts it also, by confining itto males of twenty-one years of age and upwards. There is not a State in the Union but “ restricts” the right of suffrage. We say that the States are perfectly Ug gta in the matter, and that Con- gress canvot, for any length of time, thwart them in their desires. As for the doubts entertained by some, of our “sincerity,” we expected they would be raised, when we undertook this question ; but we regarded it as one of too great importance to the ultimate triumph of our principles, to allow any persenal considerations to keep us silent in regerd to it. We are willing to “bide our time,” and fondly anticipate a speedy re-action in our favor. Should we be doomed to disappointent in that, we shall, at least, have the prond satisfaction of having charged our duty—which is far better than to conscious of our own recreancy, though muillione should applaud us. Natives, Loox ror Hrr.—The beautiful little ship ‘* Native American,” built by the ship curpen- tere, riggers, painters, &c. &e., of Kensington, end hauled in the procession on the Fourth of July last, will be launched to-day, and make an excurrion trip to this city on Monday. A mass meeting will be held at the time of the faunch. We must be on the alert to give her and her crew a proper recep- tion. The lines fentitled “The Bowling Green Fountain,” &c., and published in yesterday ’s paper, were writted by Mr. Whitney, clerk of the Boar of Assistants. The piece is one of many fugitive pieces {rom his pen—one of the many which we learn he means to publish in a collected form when he can make it convenient to do so. The sooner the better we shall be pleased—although such a choice volume as we hear this will be is worth the waiting for. QcThe editor (named Arnold,) of a Newark paper, recently published what be took for a very pretty poetical effusion, sentto him from some am- ateur poet. On looking at the matter after it was rinted in his paper with complimentary remarks, fe discovered that it was an acrostic which read, acrostically, ‘Bray Jackas Arnold !” §g- Anold lady, says the Albany Knickerbocker, entered our room and enquired if we did not want to take her son as an apprentice. Wy told her that we did not at present. She thought he would learn very quick, tor, said the old lady, “* When he was only five years old he would lie like all netur; when he got to be six he was as sassy and imper- dent as any little critter could be, and now he will steal anything he can lay his hands upon!” The old lady lett, and asserted that rhe could get him into a Jawyer's office without any difficulty, but did not think the prospect good for her son, as that profession was overstocke: rohan ain On Monday, a woman named Ann Conning- woe va rentcorbile being conveyed to the vehi= cle used to convey prisoners to Maxon ene See ed the officer so violently in the abdomen that he digorged his dnaer and left it on the street. fg An elderl colored man named Brown, a barber, and an Tishmea named Hanly, were, on the Ist’ inst., despatched from Bangor to the Asy- jum, at Augusta, Me.
