Its Licentiousness and Immorality. Po.xk anp Cray—A Contrast.—In the course of some remarks in the House, on Wednesday, Mr. { Peyton said he had within his reach, though not here, a very precious document concerning this J. iK Polk—and extract from a letter (as the reporter understood, perhaps speech,) of his, in which he came out in favor of works of internal improvement by the General Government within the States. He Was just soin regard Sa ereryeing, This was what the great democratic party had brought out for the four mile heat at the fall races! A little beaten, broken-winded, foundered, spring-halt, shuflling, spavined, bob-tail nag of Tennessee, to run against the great Eclipse! [Much laughter, and some pun- ning among the democratic members.] There was a turning up of the nose, a sense of the ridiculous, in the mere idea of the parallel. One had been identified with all the greatevents and measures in our political history for the last forty years. A man —ay, every inch a man, in heart and intellect, in firmness, grasp, and comprehension of mind—a whole head and shoulders above any man that had ever set_his foot-print on this continent, save one only When the tyrant power of Great Britain was seizing our citizens, and confining them im the loathsome dungeon of a prison-shop, whose voice was it that sounded in thunder tones of indignation through the land, loud and long and deep, till the injury was redressed? Hen! . And when auother crisis arose in our affairs—a crisis which shook the government of the country to its centre, which caused the good man and the patriot to turn pale, and made Jefferson himself declare that it struck upon his spirit like an alarm bell in the dead hour of night, who was it that came to the rescue, threw himself into the breach, and saved the coun- try? Henry Clay. And then, in that other criti- cal and trying hour, when the flag of disunion was raised in South Carolina, and the laws of the Union were resisted at the cannon’s mouth, while we had in the chair of state a man of iron nerve and lion heart, who swore by the Eternal that the laws should be executed, and if one gun was fired by South Carolina, “he would hang Calhoun and McDuffie, and Hayne and Hamilton, and the other leaders of the rebeliion, as high as Haman,” who was it that came again as our deliverer, with a heart ceeny penetrated by the crisis of his country’s fate, and, casting on the issue ail he had held dear in life, once more, by his prudence, moderation, and skill, assuaged the angry elements, and rescued this fair land from the horrors of civil discord? It was Henry Clay. When the hour of danger came, there was he ; and wherever he came, danger was quelled, disorder fled, and public prosperity smiled upon her restorer. Now, look on this picture and on that—the counterteit presentment of two can- didates. ’Tis Hyperion to a Satyr. As well com pare a mousing owl to the imperi rd of Jove, | that sprang aloft and soared int: > very sun.— Daily Evening Bulletin, Jume 11 Rguicion Prostitutgp.—The whig press all over the country have thrust forward Mr. Freling- huysen’s religion as a cloak for Mr. Clay’s moral defects, and Amos Kendall has sketched a picture of the idol—uniting in one composite person, pray- ing and playing cards, swearing and psalm-singing, &c. It touches the whigs so nicely that they are copying it into their papers. Sober thinking peo- ple will say that though the sketch is done in char- coal, and the lines are coarse and the picture shocking to the moral sense, it is yet an apt illus- tration of the wicked incongruity of uniting two such men as Clay and Frelinghuysen on the same ticket. We don’t think the whig papers are dis- creet in copying it —Boston Chronicle G. M. Dautas anp Monrog Epwarps.—The lo- cofoco papers are very busy in eulogizing the per sonal character and “ professional purity” of their candidates. They despair of convincing even their own party that they are statesmen, or have ever rendered the country the least service ina public capacity. Some of the papers have alluded, iu this connection, to the connection ot Geo. M. Dallas, their candidate for the Vice Presidency, with the case of Monroe Edwards, and a corres- pondent has sent us the following communication upon the subject. He is intimately acquainted with alltne circumstauces of the transaction, and his character and standing vonch for the truth of the facts alleged.—Courier & Enquirer. _ Mgssrs. Eprrors:—When the notorious Mon- roe Edwards was caught, a large part of the mo- ney which he had obtai by his forgeries was found in his trunk. This wasattached under legai proceedings instituted by the parties who had been robbed. After the forger had been tried, convicted, and it had been clearly established that the money found in his possession was the actnal proceeds of the check, &c.. out of which he had swindled the M-sers. Browns and Corrie, those gentlemen re- joiced that their troubles were over, and that the anxiety and expense which they had suffered had resulted in the conviction of a great criminal, and would restore to them what was left of their pro- perty. It was trne the torms of law required the attachments suits to be put an end to, either by consent or by trial, before the money would be taken trom the custody of the Court; but in their simplicity, they anticipated that the lawyers em- mores by Edwards, tn Philadelphia, would not only render every aid in their power, but would also express some regret at having been in any way instrumental in helping so great a rogue in keeping honest men_ out of their property. Great was their surprise when they met with an unexpected obstacle, and were told that they should not get the money without a fight, unless they paid what these learnd gentlemen were pleased to call alee. The owners of the money had the choice then, either to incur the trouble and expense of two more trials in Philadelphia, requiring the at- tendance_ of witnesses from New York, Maryland and Virginia, opposed by lawyers, whose principles were clearly enough displayed by the demand they made, or submit to the imposition They con- cluded to take the latter course, and entered into a negotiation, which resulted in their paying one thousand five hundred dollars, and | then all necessary consent was freely given, the victims of Edwaras took possession of the wreck of their property, and the counsel retired to divide the fee they had so honorably earned. he leader of these high-minded gentlemen was George M. Dallas. is How unequal the result of human action! Ed. wards is sentenced as a felon! Dallas is nomiaated as Vice President. It should be added, that none of the counsel, who made #0 respectable an ad- dition to their professional income, belong to this city ; and that after the conviction of Edwards under testimony which left no doubt of his guilt the gentlemen whom he had retained as counse! in New York, without hesitation and without any attempt at extortion, at once gave all consent re- pate to put au end to various suits instituted by dwards, in order still farther to harrass his vic- tima. Tue Wnic Canpipate.—Mr. Clay is the only in- etance in the history of our country of a Cubinet officer fighting a duel! Mr Clay isthe only in- stance of a candidate for the Presidency being un- der bonds to keep the peace. Mr. Clay is the only instance of a member of Congress publishing a general challenge to fight' Mr. Clay is the only instance of a member of Congress voting against the wishes of his constituents in furtherance of a bargain by which he was made Secretary of State! Mr. Clay is the only instance of a candidate for the Presidency running for that office after two defeats. (Perhaps it would not be improper to say four, for the people exiled him and Mr. Adams tegether, and his own friends rejected him in 1840.)—Albany Argus. ¥ James K. Poux's Cuarrry.—While James K. Poik was a member of Congress, and during an Pmt em and intensely cold winter, while the poor of Washington, always it clad and living in trail tenements, were literally freezin, ropo- sition was made to place some thirty cords of wood belonging to Congress, but not wanted during the seasion, at the disposal of the Mayor of Washing- ton, for the relief of the Pte 3 poor. This prop- osition, though favorably received by generous, kiud hearted men, was resisted by James K. Polk, whose vote stands recorded aguinst a resolution appropriating afew cords of wood to relieve desti- tute women and children from the biting frostsand piercing blasts of a cold winter. Mr. Polk could sit b warm fire, eat his canvass buck duck, drin| wine, and pocket eight dollars a day, without giving a thought or bestowing a stick of wood upon the maeriny poet who were shivering and freezing all around him. Such facts as these show a man’s real character. On such occasions, if a man has any soul, it willbe touched. Tie distress of women and children will melt the ice away from a man’s heart, unless it is in an atmosphere cold as that of Greenland. And a man whe, like James K. Polk, refused to ive a few cerds of wood to the perishing poor of ‘ashington, in the midst of a winter remarkable for its severity, is not entitled to a poor man’s vote. Alb. Ev. Jour: ; A Locofoco paper in New York calls upon the people of that State to ‘organize and form Polk clubs.” That never will do in the world. The very name makes men hold their noses.—-Prentice, cle appears in the Madisoman, signed T., to which it the reader will prefix B., it will stand for Bob Tyler, no less a personage than the veritable son of the Captain himself. The Madisonian is the particular organ of the Captain, and with one or two exceptions, the only organ that advocates the claims of Mr. Tyler to the office of President. The utter contempt with which the Captain’s claims to the Presidency are spoken of by all par- See; Baa ooraptecaly deranged the intellect of his son - Bob is evidently laboring under that peculiar hal. lucination of mind, which is so frequently observed in young men with white hair, lank visnge, and a cadaverous countenance. He evidently supposes that the whole conntry is in favor of the Captain. that the convention of office-holuers and office ex- pectants that nominated the Captain wasthe ‘‘ peo- le’s,”” and that his Pais the only maut Meosrs. Polk and Clay. He says Pa ‘will not re- tire,” that he is determined to keep possession of the White House, though Bob’s vote should be the oe one he receives.” ‘ he Gazette has discovered that Clay will take out grease. We are glad to hear this. We feared that after his defeat this full, he would be thrown aside as utterly useless. But the discovery corrects us, in what we should have known, that the most ignificant thing has its uses ; and although, as ¢ people will demonstrate this fall, Clay is unfit for the Presidency, according to the Gazette, he will do to take out grease. Gamauise Risinc.—John Randolph called the union of Adams aud Clay “the coalition of the Eastern Puritan and the Westeru Blackleg,” and Mr Clay attempted to kill him for it. Had John lived to this day he would have seen the order re- versed, and might have denounced the late whig nominations as ‘the coalition of the Western Blackleg and the Eastern Puritan.” Coons, shout the union through the land— An union , sublime, aurprisin’ ; Gamblers and Christians, hand in hand, Huzza for Clay and Frelinghnysen.— Ban.

The nomination of Poxx stops their mouth on that head most effectu- ally.

Acknowledgments—Greenport Vindicated from the Charge of Whiggery, Niggery, and Intemper- ance. Dear Sir :— Ihave just been reading the sensible and appro- priate remarks, centained in the Herald of the 28th ult. upon the subject of the Long Island Railroad. Those remarks carry with them the evidence that he who penned them, had a just appreciation of our beautiful Jittle village, and not only so, but that he also had the candor to express his views. Why is it, dearsir, that when a man wishes to send the truth abroad, he takes the Herald as his organ? Especially, why is it so, while the host of publications about you are constantly crying out against your paper? I will tell you why—those very paluestous themselves, while they abuse you, are barbarously slandering those in whom they wish to produce the conviction, that them- selves are trath and justice, and you talsehood and deception. Perhaps the remarks, above alluded to, were written by yourselt ; if so, they are but one small evidence added to many, that while you re- spect truth, you regard with a proper deference the feelings of your fellow men. As justice, how- ever, is a prominent trait in your paper, I should merely have read your remarks with pleasure, and let them pass in silence, had not some of your con- temporarivs taken a widely different view of the subject. You, ina becoming manner, speak of Long Island, and especially «f Greenport, and no one would judge from your remarks that we are famous for being altogether negroes or sharks; nor would it be supposed that our locality is as little known as is the centre of Ethiopia. Yon treat us as if we were members of the same race to which you belong, while others seem to teach that our mental mercury rises no higher than that of the Hotentots. Take, for instance, the ‘ Tribune,” a per pleading sapiency, honesty and justice. Our riend, Greeley, a very knowing man, says, “The eastern extremity of Long Island has heretofore been a terra incognita nearly as littie known to geographers as the centre of Africa, and notorious only (!) tor its fish, niggers (!), and locofocoism; the latter a necessary consequence ef its benighte condition. The Long Island railroad has sent its iron arms into this dark region, opening the way for the light of civilization to penetrate, and justi- fying the hope of a decided increase of knowledge and improvement in many respects”! Now with all due deference to Mr. Greeley, 1 would ask what geography he ever studied; and I 1 would seriously inqnire if he ever read any tra- vels other than those of the celebrated Baron Mun- chausen? Every geography of modern date re- cognizes such a place as the “eastern end ot Long Island ;” and if Mr. Greeley will look into the “* History of Long Island,” he will find such a place as Greenport spoken of ; but as fortune will ave it, not in such a manner as he has spoken of it. On Olney’s Map, Greenport is put down as containing 1,000 inhabitants, but Mr. Olney does not inform us that ** niggers” constitute the * noto- riety”’ of our population; he more properly leaves this for the Tribune todo. Does Mr. Greeley sup- pose that the railroad ‘‘ justifies the hope ot a de- cided increase of knowledge and improvement?” I had hoped so too, but alas the ‘‘celebration,” so loudly harped npon by him, dispersed my hopes. How are we to be informed? How improved? 1s it by Haring intemperance introduced among us by people professing to be our teachers? Does it take seventy-five baskets of champagne and two demijohns of brandy, to open our minds for the reception of ‘knowledge?’ Is it from men who get so blur, that while speechifying they require a mental prompter, not to say a physi- cal supporter, that we are to receive our mental growth. Does Mr. Greeley mean to intimate that we are to have such an exhibition as the ‘‘cele- bration” proved to be, held up to us asan example? Is that the “* knowledge,” that the ‘‘improvemert” he would give us? We ask ignorance in prefereace. We would rather be notorious for “ fis: ard nig- ere” still. A young man came to this place from lew York some time since, for the purpose of having a “‘spree.” When arrived, however, he found that he had taken his journey in vain, for here he could find no liquor to spree it upon. He threatened that upon his return to New York, he woald report what @ noxious place this Greenport was, and would declare to all his comrades that here he could find nothing to drink. Undoubted| he made some of usfeel bad. Poorsoul! He will probably soon fare better, for if we follow the ex- ample of our teachers, of such glorious memor' with Mr. Greeley, he will soon find liquor enough for himself and all his friends in this hitherto des- pised locality. But as Greenport has been, and now is, celebrated for its temperance principles, God Grant it may always remain so, even though ignorance as black as night encircle us. One poor boy among us has already been “ en- lightened” from the effects of the “celebration,” for he has found out that broken champaign bot- tles have a penetrating or rather a separating qua- lity, having had one of his toes nearly cut off while walking among the ruins of that embodiment of “*civilizatioa.” Perhaps others of us would be en- lightened if some of our worthy celebration teach- ers would publish a chart of their travels on that day, though I very much doubt if they themselves could tait fully tell the various courses they steer- ed while here, since the mysteries of the famed labyrinth of Crete could be more easily unfolded. However, for Mr. Greeley’s benefit, | propose that pera achart of the country for him egpecial- ly. lenceforth, he might be a little more enlight- ened. To be serious, the remarks of the Tribune are considered gross and insulting by every man of intelligence in this place, and especially is it consi- dered so by his own subscribers. A company of us subscribed for that paper for the purpose of getting “light and knowledge,” not abuse, and I, one of his subscribers, have ever read him carefully and at- tentively. Is that the reason we are “notorious for fish and niggers?’ By the way, I am informed upon regpunsible authority, that more niggers were brought to this place by the ‘“‘celebratien” company than can be found in the whole town of Southold. Certainly, if “niggers” render us famous, the “celebration” people are doubly famous. Greenport is athriving little village of but yes- terday, as it were; many of its inhabitants are en- terprising men from Connecticut, others from your own city, and owing to the natural facilities of the place, we hope it will yet take such a rank as to be recognised by such an ignorant geographer as Mr. Greeley appears to wirh to be considered. Our people are kind, they ever receive the stranger with open arms, and show him as much hospitalit as can elsewhere be found. Nature has done muc! for us; we will try todo more for ourselves, and we humbly hope our efforts may be so ful, that we may ever be recognised gent, temperate and hospitable people. Yours, &c.

The Clipper says : — It appears that the two young ladies boarded with their brother-in-law, in West Lexington street, where they followed the business of seamstresses; were industri- ous and virtuous, and highly respectable. A young man had for some time been paying attention to the nldest of the two; and was, we understand, engaged to be married to her in two months’ time ‘This was oppesed not only by the younger sister, but also by her brother-in-law and family, but apparently without effect; and one evening, about two weeks since, he called at the house, and wait ed on herto church, On their return the family had re- tired, but after knocking at the door awhile, it was opened by her brother-in-law, who, asthe young man was about to step in, seized him by the collar, when, of course, a fracas ensued, which ended in some unpleasant words be- tween the young and her sister and brother in-l immediately leaving the house, and goi ighbor’s, remained all night.

[Correspondence of the Herald } Lake Manorack, 12th August, 1844. Lake Accommodation for Travelling— Squad” and the “ Night Cwls’ Scenery at Mahopack. Dear Sir :— Being a constant reader of your paper, | have been surprised to see no mention of our place in its columns. Having spent some time up here yey agreeably, I will venture a few remarks, which may proveacceptable. _ £ ‘The attractions of this beautiful place are be- coming daily more known and appreciated, and I have never seen the hotels and private dwelings on the borders of the Lake so fuli of company. Monck’s and Berry’s are too well known to need comment. The former has had so many visitors as to be obliged to prepare a large room over one of his outhouses, which accommodates about s1x- teen persons nightly, and is called the Astor House. It has become the head-quarters of the ‘ Wicked Squad,” who are the successors of the ** Night Owls” of last season, and whose principal object appears to be to make night hideous, and prevent the inhabitants from indulging in too much sleep. The ** Squad” is composed of very young gentle- men, whose youthful blood requires some outlet. However, their achievements for the last iwo nights have been so excessively annoying, as to cause a protest from the ladies at Menck’s, and it is to be hoped that it may have the effect. of lessen- ing, if not altogether destroying the evil compiain- edot. This **Squad” is very despotic, and any murmur or disobedience to its orders is sure to be repaid by a ducking in the lake. Strangers on the first n'ght of their arrival, are generally initiated, by being allowed an hour’s sleep, and then com- pelled to rise, accompany the “Squad” in their nocturnal peregrinations, and then uilowed to re- tire again; after allowing the unfortunate stranger another hour's sleep and the belief that he will be no more disturbed that night, he is agreeably (?) disappointed, by being again aroused and forced to accompany the party. leaw one gentlemen who had five hours sleep during three nights. I hope this is now pretty well done with. Other- wise, the residence at the Lake is delightful. P. remony is banished from the place, and both | and gentlemen appear determined to make the most of their time, aad enjoy themselves. Besides the morning rides in the environs, we have the lake, with plenty of boats, both sail and row bo: and plenty of willing hands to escort the ladies.— In the evening, we have the ball room, always open for a quadrille or waltz. The same ball room serves for a church on Sundays. We have ser- vice here twice every Sabbath. The hev.

A Hunter tn Extreme Peril. The most interesting hunter’s story | have ever heard was told me by our host, Mr. Percival, who has followed the forest chase from his youth. In 1807, he was on a trapping expedition, with two companions, on the Wushita, when they left him to kill buffalo, bear, and the Jarger geme, and he remained to trap the streams fo beaver. He had not met with very good success, and had been without meat for about twenty-four hours, when, turning a small bend of the river, he espied a no- ble looking old male buflalo lying down on the beach. Having secured his canoe, he crept softly through a corn: brake, which lay between the ani- mal and himself, and fired. The shot was an in- different ene, and only woundea the animal in the side, but itroused him, and, having crossed the river, he soon laid down. This was about noon, when the animal, having sgain gazed, was resting himself in a cool place. Percival now crossed the river in his canoe, and got into tne woods, which were there very open and somewhat broken by lit- tle patches of prairie land, a very frequent occur- rence in these paris of Arkansas, where forest and prairie often seem to be contending for the maste- ty. Butthe bull, being suspicious, rose before the hunter came near enough to him, and took to the open woods. Percival was an eaperienced hunter; he had killed several hundred buffaloes, and knew their tempers in every sort of situation. He knew hat the animal, when in large herds, was easily mastered, and was well aware that when alone he was sometimes dogged, and even dangerous ; he, therefore, followed his prey cautiously tor about a mile, knowing that he would lie down again ere long. The buffalo now stopped, and Percival got within fifty yards of him, watching an opportunity to strike him mortally ; but the beast, seeing his enemy so near, Wheeled completely round, put his huge shagvy head close to the ground bejore his fore feet, as is their custom when they attack each other, and rapidly advanced upon the hunter, who instantly fired, and put his ball through. the buli’s nose ; but, seeing the temperhe was in, and know- ing what a serious antagonist he was when on the offensive, he, also, immediately turned and fled. In running down a short hill some briars threw him down, and he dropped his gun. There was a tree not far from him fabout eighteen inches di- ameter, and every Dane seemed to depend upon his reaching it ; but, as he rose to make a push for it, the buffalo struck him on the fleshy part of the hip with his horn, and slight): wonded hiss Be- fore, however, the beast could wheel roundi'upon him again, he gained the tree, upon which ali the chance he had of preserving hislife rested. A very few feet from this tree grew a sapling about four or five inches in diameter, a most fortunate cireum- stance for the hunter, as it contnbuted materiaily to save his lite. The buffalo now doggedly follow- ed up his purpose of destroying his adversary, and a system of attack and defence commenced t perhaps, is without a parallel. The bufliio w round and round the tree pursuing the man, jump- ing at him in the peculiar manner of that animal, every time he thought there was a chance of hit- ting him; whilst Percival, grasping the tree with his arms, flung himself round it with greater rapid- ity than the animal could follow him. 'nthis man- ner the buffalo harassed him more than four hours, until his hands became so sore with rubbing agaist the rough bark of the ook tree, and his limbs so fatigued, that he begun to Le disheartened. In going round the tree, the buffalo would some- times pass between it and the sapling; but the dis- tance between them was so narrow, that it incon- Wicked Scenes and dies venienced him, especially when he wanted to make his jumps; he, therefore, frequently went The round the eapling instead of going inside of it time thus consumed was precious to Perc: enabled him to breathe, and to consider ho should defend himself. After so many hours fruitless labor, the bull seemed to have lost his pristine vigor, and became slower in his motions. He would now muke his short start, preparatory so his jump, only at inter- vals, and, even then, he jumped doubtingly, as if he saw that Percival would avoid his blow by swinging to the other side. It was evident he was baffled, and was considering what he should do. Sull continuing in his course round the tree, but in this slow manner, he at lengih made an extreordinary feint, that does hon- or to the reasoning powers of the buffalo fem ly He made his little start as usual, and, when Perei- val swung himeelf round, the bull, insteed of am- ing his blow in the direction he had been aceus- tomed to do, suddenly turned to theside of the tree where Percival would be bronght when he had swung himeelf round, and struck with al! his might. The Teint had almost succeeded: Percival only just saved his head, and received a severe contu- sion on his arm, which was paralyzed for ap instent. He now began to despair of saving his life; his limbs trembled under him; he thought the butfalo would wear him out, and it was so inexpressibly painful to him to carry on this singular defence,shat at one time he entertained the idea cf leaving ihe tree and permitting the animal to destroy him, asa mode of saving himself from pain and anxiety that were intolerable. But the buffalo, just at that time giving decided symptoms of being as tired himself, now stopped for a few minutes, and Percival took cournge. Re- membering that he had his butcher’s koife in his breast, he took it out, and began to contrive plans of offence; and when the bull, having rested awhile, recomme vced his old rounds, Pereival took advan- tage of the slowness of his motions, und, using a great deal of address and management, coniiived, in the course of half an hour, to stab and cut him in a dozen difterent places. The animal now be- came weak from the loss of blocd, and, although he continued te walk round the tree, made no more jumps, contenting himself with keeping his head and neck close to it. This closed the conflict, for it enabled Percival to extend his right arm aad give him two deadly stabs in the eyes. Nothing could exceed the frantic rage of the unwieldy animal when he had lost his eight. He bellowed, he groaned, he pawed the ground, and gave out every sign of conscious ruin and unmitigable fury. He Jeaned against the sapling for support, and twice knocked himself down by rushing with his head against the large tree. The second fall terminated trange tragic combat, which had now lasted tly six hours. The buflal d not strength to tise, and the conqueror, stepping up to him, and lifting up his nigh shoulder, cut all the flesi and ligaments loose, and turned it over his back. He then, after resting himself a few minutes, skinned the beast, took a part of the meat to his canoe, made a fire, broiled and ate it,—-#eatherstonangh.
