TO WILLIAM THE INTERPRETER OF v .. DREAMS., : , . One of roy dutch neighbors that went to hear Hannegan's speech, came to my house last Tuesday evening and brought a paper printed at Harmony to get me to read it to him, and it had in it a long letter with the name of B. F. Dupeye signed to it: and that part of it that accused the whig party with the crime of Native Americanism was marked with a pen. Arid when I read it and saw how I was handled, says I to the Dutchman, says, I where did -you get this? Why, says he, a man gave it to me in a store in town. Well, says I, who was it ? and he said he dident know for he never seed him before. , Well, says Iwhat kind of a fellow is he? Whjj.saya he, he . was about as old as me, but he acted mighty kuras for a full grown man, for he said he loved me power ful, and he took my hand and pulled me fp to the counter and tried to hug me and kiss me across the counter, bnt it was too wide, and then he said if he was not too busy he would come round and doit any how, bull must excuse him and he would do it next time' he seed me; and when I went out axed a dutchman what sort of a man that felier in there was, and told him what he said. And he laughed and said the man dident mean no harm by it.' . He said he was a friend to James K. Polk, who is the grand son ofold Zekel, who loved the British so much better than the Americans, that he turned tory and went ovm to the Brinish in the revolutionary war, and James K. Polk natlerly feels the same, way, and this feller being his friend beats Polk bim self, fori. e don't only love all foreigners generally, but he loves the dutch in partick Ier. somuch that he can't hardly, keep from hugin one right before folks, specially if he's a voter. Why, says I, he must be n on common critter wheiebouts was the store? why, says he, its on totherside of Main street. Well saj-s f, which is -lother side? Why says he, it's fernenst that side-: Wei says I, which is that side ? Why says he, it's fernenst tother side. Well I seed I was up a stump, and it made me mad, and I jumped up and says I, it it warnt asm my principles nd if I could .find out who it was, and i he wrote that letter, and if he, warnt an old man, as he says he is, and if he had any son that would'ent do as James K. Polk did when Wise palled his nose, I'd larrup -the face of the earth with him and tramp him into bug-mouthfulls. ' He's a pretty feller, says I to pretend that he don't kno w who I am, Gideon Duckworth, thats beeii a dream ing inthese parts ever sence the abro&ines lived on this very pint, and then write such a etter as that, and instead of putting his own name to it sign 'sich a namo as Du peye. " What natural bom, white man says ever seed such a man as that. He pretends to think I'm one of them lawyers, and that he is the old mm that I seed in that dream, and for fear they'd deny it and spile his letter, he says they dassent! As if an body would be afraid of an old man that's gut'narry son, except that lawyer that dassent go along the streets without a ong stick under each arm for iear the sherff will whip bim. Dupeye eh! says I, he "cant dupe me as he docs them . dutchmen about Native Americanism... 1'le find out who he is yet, and if 1 do by the powers that made Moses, I'll write, my name on his sons1 forehead, if be1s got one, in letters that his mother can rend a rod off without her specks, providing he don't tuck his tail and sneak 6fF as Polk did when Wise pulled his nose. I don't believe he Want's to be at peace, for if he did he wouldent abuse me without knowing me, when I done nothing but vf rile down what I seed in a dream when I was sound asleep. And I don't believe he's so honest in pole tics as to Jinrt his hide, for if he was, he wouldent try as he did in that letter, to make Joreigners believe that the Whigs, as ajiarty, are in favor of Native Americanism, for he knows it tsent true and he knows too, or if be don't he soon will, that the only American born man in Vanderburgh County that ever did declare himself in favor of Native Americanism, was from the beginnings is now, and always wil be a locofoco, and says he never will votefbr a foreigner for any office if he can help it. He is a real perpendickier hard fisted, square built, bitter beaded, democratic locofoco Pokeite, that came to this county about the time that I settled on this point, and com menced dreaming. . ' w I would write his name if I dident think it's wrong to put in the papers a mans . name that never done me do barm, as that feller that assigns the name Dupeye to h'i3 letter. did lawyer Jones'. But I'le give you chance to guess who this- Native American is. He lives on the Cynthiana road and has a horse-mill and sells stump water weaken ed wttij whiskey on. election days and the two first letters of his name are Charles Mar tin. And I can prove it by a Locofoco Irishman, that lives on that side of Main street fernenst tother side, and I'le do it if tbey telltne I dassent: Jf any of them want to kuow who! am, just tell them to ax the

children, for Uiere aipt one of them thats old f enough to know the effect of a tariff, that ever seed Gideon Duckworth but what

knows him andean tella many a dream of in his lhat3 been larnt them to make them lay still in bed and go to sleep. . - I I've been expecting every day when 1 1 would dream again, and when I do I want you to give them fellers a caution that loves all creation and don't know the difference betwixt hugins of a pretty woman and a big brawny, square built, hard working, bon- J est Dutch farmer, that's got a body as hard and dry as a white oak stump, and just about as much in him to excite the bump of Hug-1 and-bussativeness, in any body but a loco-j foco office . seeker that after the elections, over would treat a man that wanted a buss just as they say Clay treated Polk, when he said "go home G d d a you where you I belong." ' I want you to tell all such, that if ever they put me on a level again with

any mortal human below the grade of a re-the

gular licensed preacher, their bides wouldentl"the memery of Gen T. A. Howard,"which

hold a double shuck matress in two minutes after I got sight of them provided always j they are not old men and got no sons, and provided my principles should happen to give way to natur just at the proper time. I I remain just what I've been ever since! my christening. - GIDEON DUCKWORTH. Communicates for theJocrnal. : CANAL DINNER. . It being known that the Hon. E.A.

W ttiimpt by any sketch, to do justice to Mr. Hannegan's very judicious and eloquent re marks. It is proper however, to mention, that he stated with pride, that the exertions of his worthy colleague, Mr. White, were worthy of all praise, and it afforded him the highest satisfaction, to perceive that bis ex ertions were appreciated by the meeting. He insisted, that the whole country was deeply interested in finishing the canal, as it would open an extensive field, for promoting thecommerce and social, intercourse be tween the States, and form an important lig ament, to strengthen the Union.

For the Journal. . Mahhs Townskit, Ia. -Mr. Chandler: Some time since, the

Whigs of this township, challenged the dem ocrats, to meet them at Union, to discuss the Tariff, and other leading questions about which the two parties differ. After a great deal of evasion,-and shuffling, and. being assured that no whig who lived out of the township would take part in the discussion, (the August election passing in the meantime,) they finally came up to discuss the tariff; the proposition being, "the Tariff of 1842 is a just and equitable Tariff!" -Only one. whig appeared on the affirmative, who had had neither time to prepare himself, nor oppor tunity to procure either books or documents, but went into the, discussion relying . more upon the truth of the proposition, than his own abilities.- Upon the negative appeared two democrats, (one of your county,) appa rently well prepared," thinking that they would obtain an easy victory over a Whig school master. It was amusing to observe one of them, with his huge piles of newspapers, speeches, pamphlets, and books, spread before him; the other gentleman was also, well supplied with similar weapons. But, they had poorlydigested those vast masses of contradiction, error and hypothesis, piled upon bypothes:s without one single well established fact. As tbeir antagonist told them, "they bad an up hill business". from beginning to end. The Whig took a straight forward course, laying down his proposition in a plain and unpre tending manner, and regular order, deviating but little from, them; and that only when his opponents would, .make some glaring .blunder of which he would avail f.imself, and lash them and their candidate for the Presidency without mercy j and showing to tho satisfaction, (so far as I know,) of all present that the tariff act of 1842, was higly ben eficial, to the whole people of the United States, and that free trade, or a 20 per cent. horizontal tariff, would be beneficial, only to British manufactures and capitalists. So far as I have learned the opinions of those present the (whig completely sustained t he main proposition; and consequently triumphed over two would-be Locofoco leaders. After the debate was closed the whig proposed to jiscuss with the same men, the immediate annexation of Texas, the distribution of the proceeds of the sale ofthe public lands, or the comparative rariis of Mr. Clay and M Polk, for the Presidency, the last of these propositions he appeared tobe anxious to discuss: being himself a native of Iredell County, N. C which joins Mecklingburgh, and consequently familiar with the many heroes of "King's mountain," "Ramsour's mill" and the the Mecklingburgh declaration,trom his childhood, and having a thousand times heard of Ezekiat " Polk's toryism, although, many ' refrained from speaking of it, oa accout of the respectability, and patriotism, of the descendants of Col's. William and Thomas Polk, who still reside in that part of N. Carolina, and who are all Whigs having been taught true principles by their revolutionary ancestor's while I suppose James K. Polk, is only one of that illustrous name who received and still adheres to the tory principle of old Ezekiel; in 1778 Ezekiel gave "aid and comfort" to- the British army, under Lord Cornw all is and in 1844 James K. Polk wishes to give "aid and comfort" to English, manufactures and capitalists, nor does it apper' that he has lost any-of his grand father's hatred of the .Whigs ofthe revollion, evinced by his constant opposition to PENSION . LAWS, voting universally against them; perhaps he has been informed that during the revolution they' would have HUNG old Ezekiel (as they did many other tories) if he had not run away into Pennsylvania . . ; ' ; ' But to return from this degression, the Democrats backed out from another discussion, upon? any sudject, whatever, should thev however, have more courage, then their leauer and'wish another meeting. latn'anthjrized to say that the Whig school master is ready for them. -' The Whigs of this township are determin ed to do their whole duty afthe approaching elections; they think that they can reduce the democratic majority of 400 at least one half in the county- The democrats howev er are busy naturalizing foreigners, circulalating their miserable toll dish story; (by the bye one of the democrats who took part in the discussion above spoken of, -by some means got hold of that same speech of Mr. Evans and he declared it was entirely beyond hi3 comprehension,) and humbugiog the ignorant. . I must conclude this commu nication already suSicintly long. " - ; Yours, &c. PHILO. - The Fraud Detected ! Pkssstlvaki a ! The Globe;- the Polk National organ at Washington, has issued two different Pros pectus for its Dallas Globe,' or 'Campaign paper, in one of which, to circulate at the South, it assails the present Tariff with extreme ferocity, while in the -other, which is distributed through Pennsylvania, the attack on ihe Tariff ia ; omitted altogether. Thi

Southern Prospectus says:

"Is a National debt, to bolster unsuch i Bank, and support the Government here in dehance of the popular will, , as it does in England, already originated by Mr. Clay during bis short reign in t he coon-skin Congress calculated to give him the suffrages of the nation for the Presidency? , la the dishonest, fraudulent, and cxhoibilant Tariff of. Mr. Clay's Congress, levying 'taxes upon the People for the necessaries of life 100 per cent beyond the revenue duty, for the benefit ofthe over grown capitalists, likely to pro- U mine ins lunuer ponucai aavancementt Is ; i his Distribution law, wasting the proceeds of I the public domain, provided by our Revolutionary fathers as a sacred lund for . the de- . T fence of our Republic, and gradually to be i extended as homes for actual settlers, as our population expands, after being condemned , by the people, suddenly to increase the pop- j ularity of the author of the nefarious scheme ' which he- himself, denounced in the earlier and better days of his political career?" In the Pennsylvania edition of this sameProspectus, dated the same day, May 9th, 1844, and liberally franked to Pennsylvania' by Bej. A. Bidlack, M. C, all the above attack on the Tariff is utterly omitted, while the matter above arid below is retained cntire! No commentsthat we could make would tender this chea't more palpuble and flagrantthan it is. Pennsylvania! can you bv such juggles be swindled out of protection to jour Industry? Speak? . SPIRIT OF THE WHIG LADIES. WTe love to record facts like the following. It gladdens the very soul to find the grey haired dames of a revolutionary generation, eagaged now, as in former limes, heart and hand with the wU'gs of the country. But" to the" story : !.' Among all those who threw wide onen their doors at the great Whig Mass Meeting in Zanesville, on the memorahle 14th of' August, was a venerable lady iivingon South streef, a Utile east orTifth. Anxius to contribute her mite, with her owu-hauda, entire ly unaided, she prepared a bouutilul repast, made up of all the substantial and delicacies the season afforded, and when spread upon ber hospitable board, with commenda ble gratification she surveyed aer contribulion to sustain that party, to which in all her life .she had given, freely all,, her energies. She then sent forth her sous, with directions to bring to bet table a score of -good whigs, audnot to return with less "than that number. . .
