The Presentation of a Medal.- Our

friends who assembled here from the surrounding country some six weeks ago to listen to the noble rpeeches of our. Electors, Messrs. Marshall and Bbackenridge, will remember the mortification and chagrin they felt in common with the Whigs of Evansrille at the untoward accident which bad torn down from the top of the splendid liberty pqle in fiout of the Journal o(rice,at the very moment of its erection, the streamer intend ed to float there, iuscribed with the names of "CLAY AND FRELINGHUYSEN." We are therefore happy to inform them, that the accident has teen repairedthat those proud names again flout the "sky a beacon of hope and joy to all true Whigs and a terror to their enemies. For this result we are indebted to the ingenuity of Mr. John Burbank, and the gallantry of Mr. Andrew Haubold, a true hearted German Whig, who with the aid ofj a series of ladders elevated by the former, climbed to the dizzy height of 151 feet and restored to its proper place the glorious ban ner under which the Whig armies of the Un ion fight for the happiness and honor of their beloved country!, - It floats before us now proudly " ir the breeze, and underneath it flutter the Stars ' and Stripes- as noble a specimen of our country's flag as ever gladdened the eye of the patriot. ; For his intrepidity in performing this gal lant but daring feat, the Wbigs of our town immediately raised a subscription and caused to be executed a' splendid medal lo be pre sented to Mr. Haubold, which was according ly done on Saturday last, by a committee of the Clay Club, appointed for that purpose. The front side represents the coat of arms of the United States, with the name "of A. Haubold engraved thereon, and representing the ijannf'of-'Clayand Frelinghuysen."

FIRST GUN FROM TENNESSEE!

The'late election for Mayor and Aldermen ot the city of Nashville, resulted in the'signal triumph of the Whig and is one among the thousand evidences which daily pour in upon us, of the fate of Polk in Tennessee in November Speaking of the election, the Banner says: ."The Whigs have won the day, jn despite of, the most strenuous and active exertions on the part pf their op ponent s." " Upon this state Locofocoism has concentrated its means and materials of party warfare. Nashville has received " its full share of these partisan, operations, and of all the extraneous influences that can be brought to bear in determining the result ofj an election. : ''The.Locofoco party has been thoroughly organi2ed and disciplined here. Its activity has been stimulated to the highest degree ; its spirits have been kept up by every appliance and rescource. " Texas Battallions, Transparent processions, incessant declamations of the most exciting character have marked the canvass, Money has been spent freely. ' Nothing to which the managers could resort has been left undone. In the face pf all these things, the Whigs went quietly up to the polls on Saturday and tri-: cmpiied. . ' ' . : .'.-"! "This is the answer which the. Whigs of Nashville give to the Locofoco boasts of changes. It is the response which our friends may .expect from other parts of the state, TENNESSEE IS SAFE FOR CLAY. . v. -r WHIG TRIUMPH! AS GOES THE CAPITAL, SO GOES THE STATE! The election for city officers took place today, and has resulted in a glorious triumph of the Whigs. r' 1 A WHIG MAYOR,; A WHIG TOWN CONSTABLE, 'AND TEN WHIG ALDERMEN, to itc democratic !!

In 1840, the Whigs elected their .Mayor by 198 majority, (the same as now!) and the Whig Constable by 17 majority. ' ' - ' The above indicates that wc are to have the triumph of 1840 over again. The coincidence of llie majorities of the vote for Mayor is remarkable; and furnishes a most cheering sign of the result in November. . i PROTECTION. ; .What is meant by ''Protection 1' Brother mechanics, brother tradesmen, let us see if we can not help one another to understand I keep shop; so do some of you.

WHIG VICTORY IN LOUISIANA. The New Orleans papers brings us the

gratifying intelligence of another Whig vic tory in Louisiana. The Whigs of Louisiana have now the ascendency in both branches f the Leislature. Now, for the first time n many years, they hold the supremacy in the State. Mr. Declouet, who is elected to jie Senate, was beaten for the convention y a locofoco one hundred &. forty votes,and sow he is elected to the Legislature by a majority of seventy-six, showing a - Whig gain of two bunJred and thirty six in the senatorial district,, in a little more than two months. "And it is worthy of -remark, that Mr. D., although living in the immediate vicinity of the Texas line, took strong ground against immediate annexation on the Polk and Dallas plan. - ' , - Thanks to the glorious and unconquerable Whigs of Louisiana." Their noble example spreads increased confidence throughout the great Whig party of the Union; and, when the mighty victory of November shall have been won, their praises will evey where be shouted from the. lips of a rcdeerned and a rejoicing nation.- -From the N. Orleans Tropic Sept. 16th. A Whig Victory the Senate of Lot-s-Zana IS WHIGi!!! -We are in possession of the gratifying intelligence of the election of Alexander Declouet, Esq., to the Senate of Louisiana.. Mr. Declouet was opposed by Mr, Antonio E. Mouton? the brother, of the present Governor. Mrf Declouet contended not only against Mr. Moutpnr the candidate, but also against his . brother the governor, and Mr. Morse, the Jate Sen ator. It is notorious that for the week past Gov. Mouton has been engaged in the elevated business of electioneering for his brother, but with what effect the result shows. The Whigs of that district have repudiated both, and determined to do their own thiuking and voting. Besides the Executive in fluence brought to bear against Mr. D., a local queslion, the division of the'parish of St? Martin, lost him at least fifty votes, and to crown the whole his own uncle N.' De clouet, . Esq., who is a staunch Wh ig, oppo sed his nephew's election, because he thoughi his pecuniary interests would suffer by his absence ftom his plantation. This circum stance alone, it is said, deprived Mr. D- of at least one hundred votes, and yet in spile of all opposition he has succeeded triumph antly. Honor jo the galfaht Whigs of that district, they have doue well, and give Lo cofocoism a foretasle of what it may except next November. raerxve fjistarorc .: - in both branches. The Senate, stands now niue Whigs to eight Locolocosl Lst winter it was ten Iocofocos to seven Whigs! Our majority is eiht in the. House of . Representatives, and xise on joint ballot! We subjoin the returns of the' election as we have received them in a slip from the office of the St. Martinsville- Creole. We add also the vote for Governor in 1842,inthe same parishes: ; ' - - .

This will do for three parishes in September, and when we remember that Gov.Motilon's majority in the whole State was only 1, 507, we should like to know what chance there is for Polk and Dallas in - November! Will somebody cypher it out ? . - BRITISH AGENTS AMONG US. , If our readers have any further doubt, that the money of English manufactures is to be employed in the coming election to wean our agricultural population from the" Tariff and the support of Mr. Clay, let tberq read the following extract from a letter dated N. York, February 28, 1844,' which we find in the "League" a weekly paper about the size of the London Examiner, published in Lon don, and which is the organ of the "Home League,"ea powerful and wealthy association of manufacturers end others in England formed with the avowed object of disaerain atiiig Free ;Trado principles all ovep the world- . The number of the League, from which the subjoined extract is taken, is dated April 20th, 1844. The letter, of which it makes a part, purports to be from "an English gentleman residing in the United Slates:" , - "Perhaps there are no people more eager aftertheirown interests, or more likely when once put into the right way to pursue them with effect, than the farmers here, whether of native, English, or German birth. Could any oue brin clearly before their' view the im policy of their present course, and the advantages which would resu.lt to them from. an opposite one, the present tarilf would not be permitted to cputiuue for another twelvemonth.' Nor is such illumination at all impracticable. It might be effected by any one doing here what has been practised so successfully by yourself and a few others iu England by letting the people hear.or read

(which thev have rarely or never had n op-f portunity oT doing) the TRtrra! Could some.

such tracts as you have been, and are still, diffusing in inglaqd be circulated m sufficient numbers here, 1 cannot doubt the result. No people arp more open to receive, none more sharp-sight or quick to hear when it can be shown that their own individual interests are at stake, tbttn the' Americans. -There, too, I may add, let the good seed but once take root andsprout forth, and the work is done. 1 nousands will spnng forward to foster and sustain its growth; nay, the very men, the demagogues, the "stump-orators," whp, for their own selfish purposes, ore now vociferating against Free Trade, will then, and forihe same reason, be found amongst its supporters, and prove themselves, possibly, as active for good as tbey are now only puis sant for evil! - ; "What, therefore, might be done, were tnere funds (and very triAine ones would suffice;) for' the purpose, is to reprint some of your best papers, and perhaps to compose and print a few others (on ihe -same model, but more immediately and personally applicable to' the American farmer, and written in plain Cobbett-like language,) and diffuse them as widely as possible through the corn and cattle raising districts of . the Union. With the co-operation of several excellent friends pf mine here (well known, for their consistent zeal and other virtues to several members of the League,) I think that I could get immense numbers of. them circulated' through various parts of Pennsylvania, New Yorkj and New jersey, through all the great Western and two or three ot the Southern States in some gratuitously and in others at a moderate cost. A newspaper might also be found, here and there to contribute its aid. 'But 1 have been sadly drawing upon your time arid patience in thus propounding to you a scheme, against which there are so many obvious difficulties in operation.- Free Trade,' however, , like Freemasonry, has a secret spell for attracting i ts brothers towards each other, (I 'am' sure that I have experienced the fact in this-country,) and, right or wrong m my project, 1 must, therefore, be excused for unfolding it to one whom I look up lo as the Grand Master of our order." Here there is no disgu:3e no equivocation. The writcr distinclly calls upon the leaders of this powerful "League" to illuminate our benighled people upon ihe subject of Free Trade. 'The "cprn and cattle raising districts of the Union" are alluded to as especially calculated to be operated upon by the agents of the League. The writer thinks that" with the aid of "Certain excellent friends" of his in this country,' he can get "immense numbers" of Bdiish Fiee Trade tracts 'circulated "through various parts, of Pennsylvania, New -York and New Jersey, through all the great "Western and two or three of the Southern States." Cau it longer be doubled lhat,Biitish influence is busily at work in this country to subvert our present tarin ty ceieating. tnc election of Mr. "Clay? Every where theie fiasUuuoi. -concerted effort to prejudice the minds of the agricultural community againsi the Protective System. In Maiue,' as we learn from the report of the State Central Committee,, the Locofoco emissaries repieseuled m every place, and to. every persou whom they could ieach, "that the Protective System of the Whigs was a scheme devised to increase the profits of capital, and to depress aud injure the working man a tax on the farmer tor the benefit solely l the rich manufacturer?" Here we have the object of the English letter writer carried out. precisely in the manner he recommends. "It is only since the day of the election,." says the Maine Committee, "that welia velearued the extent of the influence, brought to bear to poison the minds of the laborers against the Tariff doctrines 'of .the. Whigs."" To excite the jealousy of the "corn and cajtle raising districts against the manufacturing interest, is plainly the object of the "Home League" and their ilineraut agents iu this country. Vyith tbip view they circulate the most specious representations, taking caie to conceal from the victims of their delusions the fict that an immense home market is created by our manufactories, the advantage of which to our. farmers is far greater than any which they could derive by. extending unreciprocated privilogeg,to the manufacturers of England. - - ', . Freemen of New Yoik, Pennsylvania and New Jersey t Here we ha ve given you the testimony of "an English geutlcman residing in the United Slates," and writing to a weekly newspaper printed in London, which is the organ of an asociation so wealthy ,.1 hat it thinks it a light matter to raise five hundred thousand dollars for the' proportion' of its. objects w.e have, given you this testimony, that it wasin contemplation as far back as last February, to operate upon you at the eoming election by means of British gold!

' The iCiiRlesto.n Mercur?" attempts to expose what it is pleased to term Mr. . Websrer's "blundering." in his last specch.'at Albany.

Now the enure consumption of co toil in the Uhiied States is not over 400.000 bales, which, at $w per Wiethe average value for sevral years past is worth only $4,00o.O00." The New Orleans Tropic replies: . The Mercury man Shouhl go to school until the Hcquires asufiieifflt knowledge of arithmetic io tuul.tiply correctly, 400,000 by UO". But be is in error jit ail his stulenn Dts. Nearly all the cotton taken by Northern Manufactures, is from his city and Mobile, the average value oi which lor ten years past' has been over $41) per bale, wliich. instead of $4,000,000, would amount to J16v0O0,OOO, but taking the price of last yeur, wliuli whs, an aver-ifre ot $30 per bale, 400,000 bales would amount to $12,000,000, more than kali of which is consumed in Massachusetts. ..

F-RITISH BOUNTIES TO BREAK - DOWN "AMERICAM . MANUPA flTTT.

RES. FORCING BRITISH GOODS AT AUCTION SALES UPON THE AMER- , ICAN MARKETS, A PART OF. THE SAME SYSTEM. ' . In a letter from Benjamin Marshall. Esq., of Troy, long an importer of New York, al now a manufacturer, to Herman Brueh", Esq. of N. Jersey, is the following important postscript: " - " P. S. Respecting the bounty from jhe British government, we were allowed 3d per yard on all all our printed and stamped goods imported into this country during the years 1803 to 1812, and, in consequence, frequently sold prints for less in New York than we purchased "them in Manchester. The bounty on our "imports amounted to 30a. 50,000 pel annum." This, to us at least, is a new fact, and one which should forcibly arrest and arouse public attention. From 1803 lo 1812, a period of nine years prioj to the late war, it appears that the British government pan. one importing house in N. York from $30,000 to $50,000 per annum, as a bounty for their importation of British goods, so that they" could -oil L, -- .TsUUWIJUJltl liJQU. glHJU-) iUtVVl fit lClY York than they could be bought for in Man-chester,,where;theywere-xude! Howjnan y thousands, if not millions, were paid, or are now paid, or are to be paid, we have not the means of ascertaining. We have, however, in such a fact as this, a clue to the operations of the British government upoa olher countries " This bounty money, we know, too, must isli government for no account of it has ever appeared in the regular appropriation' of the Legislature, or in the published expenditures of the Tr.easuiy. Thus the American manufacturer and mechanic has to. contend with two influences in Europe: 1st, its pauper labor, and low wages, ami next with the seciect service fund, which is fillad by heavy taxes upon these very half starved laborers! ' v ' ' " - ;' We have, too, in this development from Mr Marshall, a clue to the auction system for tlio sale of British goods in this city, by whiclj British fabrics are sold lor le?s tlian they ccsl in England. It has long been known that the Biiiish manufactures were in the habit of throwing their surplus goods upon the New York nr.uk et, in ouler to sejl th5m at any price, for the chief purpose of underselling and thus of breaking down the American manufacturer, ..This auciiou system, under the Tariff of 1832-3, was completely - sucr cessful iu running a large number of our own home workmen; but it wasuften a matter of amazement, as goods were sold so,' low, how ihe British, manufacturer himself could stand it? "-The probability is, that be was remunerated from the secret servive fund of the British Trensury. The Bounty, we know to have beenp-.tid to one house opto the time of the last War. in all probabllily is now continued, and paid in England tu exporter, of British manufacturers. . i - . . It is of the highest importance. forGreat Driiatti to break down tlie ri3iug . man utuctories of the U. States, end there s no doubt, the Urit sli Ministry consult their interest in any, any every wsy they can.. The very moment the, American manufacturer is broken down, and his competition got rid of, tip go the prices of llrltish goods ugain, nnd the consumer in America hna to pay higher for tii tin titan ever. So tlmt both to producer and consumer, a Tariff for Protec; lion is a matter of self-interest, as well asof national necessity and ua tional pride. - . . - . , . Thus, in addition to the public funds we know to have been raised in Manchester, England, to operate upon the elections ot the United Stsles, we have the secret service fund of the British Treasury to contend, with. The fact being exposed, the money will be-inoperative. The people ot the United States can be conquered neither by the -iiritish bayonet nor British gold, N. Y. Express. ' THE "MUM" CANDIDATE. On the 27th July last, certain citizens of Tippah countyMiss.) addressed a letter to Gov.Po!k,containing t he following questions, to which thy respectfully requested an answer: ' ' - ". . 1st, Are you ia favor of, or opposed -to, the present Tarifir If opposed, please state your leading objections to it, 3vith such alterations and modifications as would meet vour . i a iro - 1 2nd, Are you now in favor of restoring the rale of duty under the late Compromise Act at its expiration? -''"" 3rd, In "case neither of these acts meet your approval, what is the maximum rate to which you would be willing to go iu the ad justment of a tariff of duties? 4th, Are discriminating duties for promotion, in your opinion, constitutional or expedient, or should they be made for revenue purposes solely? . . . 5th, As the proceeds of the sales of lite Public Lands have a direct bearing upon the tariff queslion, what disposition would you make of this fund? To these queries Mr. Polk has failed to return an answer as in the case of the letter addressed to him by a committee of the Knox County Clay Clubhand in that oftho Democratic citizens of Cumberland county, Penn. How does Mr. Polk reconcile his silence with his repeated delarations : "I cannot approve of any aspirants or candidates for publii station, iu, refusing to declare their opinions freely and without reseve, upon all public subjects upon which they may be interrogated by a portion ot the constituent has a right to know the opinions of the candidate before he casts his vote."
