TWr,,. the TWocr, candidate for elector in this district, according to appoint- , inent, addressed a very small number of the oeoole at this Dlace on Monday. It was well enough that so few of his party thought it worth while to attend bis appointment, for we can assure the absent that their friends present were not only much mortified at the complete victory obtnined over him by his competitor Mr. Brackenridse, but disgusted also with his own palpable and uller inefnciency. ' - The Dr. is said tobe.and wd have no doubt " talks about. He would talk for an hour against "Protection," attempting to show the great evil in his opinion resulting from the "odious doctrine,'" to the people of the West, and especially the farmers, and then when Mr. Brackenridge in reply convinced him of his mistake that, the protective policy, in-et.-ad of being an injury, was .of incalcuable benefit to the farmer,and the true democrat , ic doctrine, he would turn right round and ewear mat ootn ne ana oi. rone were in tayor ot protection, and then go on again hard as ever argufying against the policy. .

I on mat occasion, wnereupon, our mile guardian of modern progressive Polk Democracy, seizes upon that circumstande to endeav-1 . . . . . or to create the false impression, that Mr. A e 1 Pelham was afraid to meet his " opponent, IllllWJOIUUj Coi. Lane, before the people, and with his usual regard for truth, he unblushingly as serts the falsehood that Mr. Pitcher had been "employed by the Whigs to plead Mr. Pelbam's Jeffersonian Democracy." Now the simple truth is, that this is a most pitiful attempt ol Mr. Owen's "organ" to divert pubIic atteniion fiom the shameful conduci of the Harmony locofoco clique, who uncler the name ot a democratic assoc'ations seek to control the politics of the conntv. The first sDeaker on this occasion

Mr. Pelham.

That the Democratic house did not pass the Whis Senate bill for a general reduction of postages, so that" poor men could afford to write and receive letters, because they did not reachit. That the Democratic house did not pass thd Whig Senate's bill appropriating lands for the completionof the Indiana Central Canal, because w not reached. And why were these and other important measures not reached, Has Mr. Owen says,) by the Democratic house v j v. j

Ergo, he the said. Col. (aecordiug to his own reasoning, at least,) is a real Jeffersonian Democrat, and his opponent, (Mr. Pelham,) is not. The Col. declared himself in favor of the existing relief laws, but omitted to tell the people that whilst he was in the State Senate, when the first relief measures lif?m at everv , wrr - J . ... stane. The Col. very prudently torgot to mention this little matter, no doubt concluding it might not be very popular for him to do so. but that hf was a real - Jl'.m.nr.mt he ...:. .. pIj:.... u.j appeared upon the stump, and made some confused and stammering remarks in which

having the fear of true Democratic piinciples . r . , , before their eyes, were seized with such a panic, and became so much alarmed for the safety of the bones of locofocoism, that the President and ex-Secretary of this ntfiltf snrnm 11 nnn ilia honr-lm-, J k l-i -1 uvuuv-j " bawled out n.jst lustily, for all true Dem ocrats to leave the house, and thereurv on, the members of the aforesaid "Democratic association,' led on, or rather off, by their President with a most terrific cry rushcu towaru3 uoor as it nis satanic maiesy had actually been at their heels, calling out at

the top of their lungs,"Corae on Democrats.

To the infinite surprise and vexation of these secret guardians of the Democracy of Posey, the scheme did not work, and they soon found themselves alone. The respectable part of the audience had determined to re main. Thev were evidently of the opinion ' .

Thus terminated the grand effort of this nine iiarmony iocoioco clique, 10 pui aown discussion, and keep facts from the people, the sisnal failure of which is the true cause Very truly yours, FAIRPLAY.

l" II I I II WTtlSrii i AN INTERESTING LETTER. We have rarely read any thing which interested us more than the subjoined letter of Mr. Clay, addressed to a committee of the Dauphiue (Pa.) County Clay Club. -The exalted position which the writer occupies on the very eve of having extended to him the highest mark of public confidence which has ever been extended to any man in this country renders his reference to the abiding faith lie has always cherished in the justice of his fellow-citizens, worthy of special attention. The entire letter will be perused with marked pleasure by our readers: . " ; r ; ' ' if. ; ' WASHnfGTos, May 12, 1844. Gestlemes: I received the letter which , you did me the honor to address to me. in

viting me, prior to my return home, to visit the capital of Pennsylvania. Subsequent lo its date, I thought it right to announce to the public my determination to make no visits, nor attend any public meetings which might be deemed political, until the Presidential Election was decided. To that determination I shall adhere, ft deprives me of the pleasure of accepting your friendly in vitation. . ' ; , Gentlemen, I agree with you "No State in this Union would be benefitted more by the permanent establishment of a sound whig . policy than Pennsylvania.", , I have had the great satisfaction, always, to agree with Pennsylvania in regard to public measures, whenever the genuine feelings of Pennsylvania have been fairly expressed. There . was not merely, a cordial concurrence, but an intimate friendship, between her Finlay, bmihe, Lacock, Koberts, Brown, and other distinguished sons, and me, in the Congress which declared the last war. I united also with the. survivors of them, or other eminent citizens of this State, in laying the foundation Of the National prosperity, after a return of peace. I have no recollection of any important public measures respecting which I have . differed from Pennsylvania. I was perfectly aware that "the time was when the people of Pennsylvania were made to believe that you (I) were not their friend." Acting under the maxim that honesty was the best policy, and upon the conviction that truth is omnipotent, and public justice certain, I bore the unmerited reproaches cast upon me, as became me.' I have not been disappointed. I stand vindicated, in the hearts and by the spontaneous acclamations of my fellow citizens. The industry and malignity ot my enemies will no doubt prompt perseverance in those attacks. Perversions of my language, misrepresenta-, lions of my coarse, old scraps from tatered and obsolete newspapers even fabrication and forgery are and will continue to be employed to vituperate and villify tne. " But like" all preceding assaults, they will be unavailing, and I shall remain invulnerable to -them all. ' In the meantime, I congratulate you on the bright and cheering prospects of the establishment of that Whig Policy so essential, I believe, not only to the prosperity of Pennsylvania, but to that of the whole Union.. , " - -- ' "." ' ' I happened to be in the House of Re presentatives when an important part of that policy signally triumphed. ' The Tariff of 1842 ha been bitterly denounced, and gross epithets applied to it. Its repeal was pronounced to be a favorite object of our political opponents. They have a majority of fifty or sixty in the House. A bill lo repeal that Tariffhas been pending a great part of the present session of. Congress. And yet, yesterday, on a test vote, a majority of the House decided against the repealing bill leaving the Tariff of 1842 in rvix and salutary opehation ! This decision was an involuntary concession ot our political opponents to the wisdom, and beneficence of whig policy, produced by the returning prosperity of the country, and the enlightened opinion of the people. '; But, gentlemen, I have a much higher gratification than any which could be derived from the decision of the House of Representatives. It is that the people of the United States, from the St. Johns to the Sabine, who have been so long divided and agitated on the question of the encouragement of Domestic Industry, are about to settle down in union and harmony, upon the equitable basis of raising in time of peace, lhe amount of revenue requisite to an economical administration of the Government, exclusively from foreign imports, by a Tariff so adjusted as that, by proper discriminations, just and reasonable encouragement shall be extended to American Industry. May this happy union and harmony pervade all other great measures of public policy, and nothing occur to disturb the peace, to sully the character, or check the onward and glorious march of our country. I am your friend , And obedient servant, II. CLAY. Messrs. Samuel H. Clarke, A. J. Joues,and others, Executive Committee. QrA Hobrid Muhdsk.

New Jersey, and thus rebuked the infamous peraonal abuso which so many of his political friends employ as their only argument against Henry Clay. According to the Newark Daily Advertiser "Mr. Melville must have made soma of hia hearcra blush ivhen he sai.l Mr. Clay was a man every inch a man, and that the Whigs had now presented their principles, and that thev were 10 be met by my argument and not by the uso of slang; it was not fair to go to a man'a ,o?'ie 'I P,uy int,r, ihey should he met by OPEN AND HONEST ARGUMENT."
