Af:er one of the iisost desperate strug'es ever witnessed in this county, the W hig-3 iiavc routed their opponents, 'horse, foot and dragoons," and planted the bailor-r of tfjeir country with glory upon the ii-.ld of b;m!e, continuing to "waive over the of t!ie fiee and the home uf the brave." Two weeks since the locos were boasting that they would carry their vv hole ticket. The only fear wa3, a? expressed by our neighbor of tho Sun, that we would say it was not dono fairly. No doubt they fe't conscious that some of th i "riciv isfff5" would givo just caue of coinplaint TUion all honorable men and lovers of ujt common country. Of these we shall speak hereafter, and ciil the attention of ail good' and reflecting men of every party. We doubt not they wdl meet with universal reprehension. Nothing but the madness of desperation could have induced the loco party leaders to resort to such base schema, to sustain their fastly sinking cause. If the noxious, bad odored "Polk" uecd thrives not bc'.icr in mid summer, how will it appear after the severe frosts of November? It needs not tho prop!)-1 Joe Smith, (peace to hu rennins) to in form u-5. TIID DAI2BECDSS. As we anticipated the Polkites ai-3 making a great blow over their barbecue, staling the number present at four thousand. TiM3 is of a piece of their characteristic vain bjisting. Our town was the place of rendezvous, and after marching several times around the streets and drumming up their fuil forces they proceeded lo the place selected for the feast. As they left the town ihey were sever! times counted, and numbered 7-"0. We learn that w hen they arrived "u the ground some on hutiJr.d and iifty or two hundred peas oris were already there and about 2 or 300 more around after the procession. This would make their uumber, including men, women and children, about 12:10 whi-.di we believ3 to bo a fair estimate. As they paraded our streets w t ob serve r i -.-Ai h'v were hes.t-d ov t.ie 1 - a:;d y cevend others 1.0 they -u'oved " " r-r alionrl flff' .iole cavalcad.

There will surelv Le virtue ami victory in that. Having arrived upon the ground, ihoy were first addressed by P. C. Duunitrjj and then by the porpoise-blowing J. W. Pa vis. who is a perfect caricature of tho Texas humbug, all wind and no substance. He talked about Henry Clay being opposed to Western interest?. J. 1st one word to him--where was he on tiie River and Canal questions last winter? Thev were then harangued by the 'iccomp'ished son of Knox.' in a dngustinj demagogical epeec'o, advocatin g the infamous doctrines of tho convict Dorr. 1 here is such aiiinity between these men, tint if the i J Judge continues in Ins present reckless and disgusting course, we will not be astonished if he is soon associated with his beau ideal in his present honors. Or;t Rarbecue on last Saturday exceeded our highest expectations. The Whigs were anxious for a demonstration, .and came flocking from all quarters of the country in incrediblo numbers. With 7 hundred ladies in the procession, a great number of beautiful banners, bands of music and some 1000 men, the pageant was Srand rnd imposing.

Having byearly conceit, gathered in their men from the country, and rallying every individual in town who smelt of Locofocoism they met at the town hail, and were ad Iressed hv Judge Law in a re-vampel edition of his speech on Thursday. He indulged in a shameless tirade cf abuse of Mr. Clay's moral character .'he talk of mora! charactct!) and edified his hearers with another touch of Lbrrism. When the 'polite democracy' "ere filled with his mob and riot doctrines, they marched down tho c'tro.o Lidse Law bringing up the rear, to Donovan's comer, where hung their Texas bad-cs. and filled the air with their yelps of Po'k and Texas.

een so fortunate as to have Knox stock (beautiful disciple to prate about coui-ten-n the. middle of Ids narno and ought te ki 1 Cy truly. Jet him, or any one elso for

voted for, not becaine of his principles but of his name. We trust these demagogues will sav nothing nv"ro about Coon Skins, Log Cabins, Hard Cider, kc, but will walk up to the mark boldly and say, gentlemen .our candidate has no principles, our party have no principles, we cannot ?poeal to your reason, but our candidate tins a name, and fortunately, for us a par. ol t.KU name IS uie sviie aa i omuhi which you reside, therefore don't ask us about principles, but down with your voto for ' Knox.' ' Who is James K. Pols ? ' We have repeatedly hesrd this question asked relative t) the Democratic candidate for President, but have never heard it satisfactorily answered, until tho assembling together of the l)omo:racy of Knox, upon the occasion cf their recent barbecue, when th? accMnpIiscd son cf Old Knox responded to it as follows : ' Why, fellow citizens iie is James Knox Polk, named after the old county of Knox in which you all live, and therefore, you should all vote for him.' Who after this will say there is nothing in a name. For ourselves we are satisfied that rose would not tmeli so sweet if -I'le-d hv .mv oili's; tnmc He had thought

however that thisJames KnoxIV.k was pre sented to the American people for their

eunrages oecause ot some grrai pim.ip which ho represented, or of some emi nent public service rendered by him, but wo acknowledge our mistake, and m future to your democratic friends, when asked as to uho and what he is, we will tell them that he is 'James Knox Polk, named after the old county of Knox, in which they all live, and therefore they ought to vote for him.' It may be a sufficient rea son for them; at least he who sets himself desire 6ome other leason, though being whigs we have no right to speak in this matter. Just as our paper was going to press 1 1 o'clock P. M., a splendid procession of Whigs bearing transparencies, is passing our office. They halted to give us three cheers, which wo returned with hearty good will. The Whig spirit is up and will continue, to increase until anticipation is lost in the reality of yiclorv. Success to tiie rood cause! XCT" We wonder what has become of tiie holy horror so frequently expressed by the Democracy, of 13 jrbeceus and Mass Conventions. Have thev become less immoral or are the people more virtuous. Or do our democratic friends desire the corruption of the clergy. K We merely ask for information, knowing the opinion they entertained of these things a short time since, and having heard that special letters of invitation were addressed to the clergy of a particular denomination. H als or Tails. In 1S28 the leaders of the prosent self styled Democratic party of Indiana, claimed to be the exclusive friends of a protective tariff, and of that same tariff bill too. which they now call the "bill of abombinations." In 182t, they were in favor of the distribution of the proceeds of the public lands! In 12S, they had no doubt of the right of the Government to make appro ptiations for works of Internal Improvements. What do tho party say now? Why they are opposed to each one. Truly Demo:racy, that is. Locofoco Democracy, is progressive.' It has been for and against almost eveiy public measure that has agitated the public mind for the last three Administrations, and will continue to be for and against, by contraries, every thing the Whigs are for or against. Native Americanism and Locofocoism. On the first page of to-day's paper, our rf aders will find an article under the above jctiptioy, which fixes t.ativism upon the party .o-whoiT. U.tea!kbelongs! and will

M.fout tiie matter to rest, at once and forever

Willi even our Loeofoeo opponents, as the authority is upon the known and acknowledged leading organs of the party. They appear to claim the party in 11'd, and is it not the same? We think it is, even "progressive democracy" cannot shift the responsibility. ICT'We often hear tha Whigs branded by some of the pseudo-democracy, as the llntish Whig party,' kc. &.r., names which pass very flippantly from their tongues. Let us enquire for a moment, who are the Rrinh party? The Whigs ate so far in favor of British institutes that they desire to tax her manufactures, while their opponents are in favor of admiiting them duty free. The Whigs are desirous to protect h une industry, against foreign pauperhm and by discriminating duties upon imports, enable our own industrious mechanics to compete with other nations in the production for home use and consumption. The Whigs are content to purchase articles manufactured by their countrymen; not so the Locofocos. One of their prominent leaders, Mr. McDufiie, said not long ago at Richmond, Va., that 'he would rather purchase of Englishmen, than of the vile Yankees ! ! ' This sentiment is so much in accordance with their nomination of the grandson of a Tory for the Presidency, that it creates no surprise in us. Take the whole together it is not hard to tell which is the British party ?' CT" Our neighbor ot the bun is a him, look upon his course for the last sixte n years and compare his party doctrines during that period with what they are now, and a pretty specimen of consistency' they will find surely. Neighbor, you might better. drop that now, for you and your party leaders are inconsistency itself personified. But we suppose you will say 'Democracy is progressive.' Yes, we thtnk it is, rather progressive. It has tacked to the right-about pretty considerably we reckon. HoniBLK if Tki-e. It is Mate 1 in the Louisville Courier, upon authority of letters received in Charleston, S. C vi3 Key West and St. Au i?ustii e, that the blacks of Hayli had murJeied every white person upon the Island, except the British and American Con?u!.. It needs stronger confirmation. cry The arrest of rioters, i.s still progressing in Philadelphia. It would be proper proceeding for the Legislature to enact a -not act. and in the event of a mob, at the very commencement, read to them the act, and if they did not disperse then let the military do its duty, at once and promptly; and there will soon be an ml to such disgraceful scenes, a have lately been enacted there. .5 e O'jr papr h'c to dsv, ev:u us

'And lat (most recent in the rar.k of epoi'.smen!)but not least John Law the accomplished son of Old Knox herself will be there.'

Refute the "accomplished son ot old Knox'diad become an e!eciioneeringJudge, a hacknied politician before ho had soiled the judicial Erniin in the political arena, that his political opponents had aided in placing upon his shoulders what, we ask, were his sentiments ol that great patriot and statesman Henry Clay? Let this extract from the address reported by Judge J,aw to the State Adams convention of 1S2S, speak for itself. It needs no comment. 'We do not wish to vaete time : r insult vour understandings, by refuting the stede charge of corruption against Messrs. Ad ams and Clav we sunpiy slate the fol lowing facts that Mr. Clay has boldly met the charge with defiance, -in and out of Congress; that at a time and place, when, and where, proof, if it existed, was abundant and convenient none could be found nor has since been found that the first author of this calumnv, the notorious Kremer, shrunk from the investigation of its truth by denying the jurisdiction of the House of Representatives, alter he had formally admitted it that Gen. Jack son him-df was among the first to tender his hand and oiler his congratulations to President Adams, after his election, vhen, according to what has since transpired, lie knew all tiie corruption that existed and fin.dl v, that the icitncss named and specified by Jackson himself, as being privy to tiie corruption and tho bearer of a corrupt proposition, (we me3ti Mr. Buchanan,) has wholly failed in supporting its existence, and positively de nies all knowledge of the least impropri ety. Whence, we would ask. originate? the unrelenting and unprecedented persecution of the Secretary of State ? A man. who in the course of '.he last twenty yeais has done more for Internal Improvements, Domestic Manufactures aad Western Interests, than any other politician in the U. States! Has he deserted and abandoned these great interest which, with untiring zeal and matchless eloquence, ho has so long advocated and defended? Is Hflry Clay enlisted with the South, against Kentucky, Indiana, and the If est'. Oil no, fell jw-ci:i7.en, his crime is, that he has deliberately preferred Mr. Adams, the friend of his measures and Western Interests, to Gen. Jackson in alliance with the South. Think you. that love of country and the public good, actuates the defamers of Mr. Clay? Or, has base envy poisoned every genprous and noble sentiment in the bosoms of disappointed competitors?' For a cornp'tte illustration and refutation of this vile calumny Tie iht Address f Henry Oky.'io the Public, dattd WcLtington, Dec., 1837. together with the Ducuments. r''" The subjoined we copy from a Iil4?-pa-per called the ".cr" published at J?r6y, N. Y., and a- it? r.ame imports, it is a true Polk and Dallas concern. "Coonery in Indiana. A vote was laken on board the steamboat Monticelio, while returning from the Clay Convention, held at the Tippecanoe battleground and resulted as follows: For Polk and Pallas ISO! for Clay 121." We give puMi-ity to the above, in tder to show to what extent of fahity thet-e ;o'r creatures will go to deceive the people. The truth is no vote was taken on the Monticei'o, but hal there been, it would have res ilted in almost an entire vote for Clay and Frelinghuysen. But tho cream of tiie joke is that Polk wa not nominated fir three days after that time, and die nomination was not known here for two weeks after, and on any day when that boat was going down, if a trial vote for President had been taken throughout Indiana, there would not have been 190 nor 100 nor ' 0 nor 8 nor 1 man in the state who would have voted for Polk and Dallas. Sub-Treasury. Ask tho Locos if they are in favor of the Sub-Treasury, and they vviil evade the enquiry by saying they are opposed to a National Hank. A very satisfactory way truly of getting round a hard question. To show that a Sub-Treasury is a "democratic principle," we give the following extracts on the subject which we find copied in the Western Sun of Sept. 21st, 1839. "It is a measure strictly constitutional and Democratic. j "It contemplate. n- one of its essential advantages, a reduction of the revenue to the actual wants of the Government. "It is not an 'odious measure" it is not a "destructive measure;" but a measure strictly con9ti'utional, shaddowed forth by Jefferson approved by Jackson, and renounced by Van Buren." What say the Locos to this? Is the Sun good authority as to what constitutes modem democracy? If so, will they deny that they are in favor of a Sub-Treasury? U c learn that the Democracy on Thursday last, expressed a great deal of sympathy for the "Barn Burners., who were so unfortunate as to receive the punish merit duo their crimes. Bottles of tears were shed for Dorr, and many regrets exoresed becauseof his failure toovrrtnrn the ' "o-i?t':fn'i"nil Government c f the State

of T?bo,t Island: Dorr's attempt to subvert

the Government of his State was endorsed, and the doctrine openly avowed that the m?jDrity have the right to meet when, where,' and under what circumstances they please, ind niter, amend, or destroy the Constitution, end laws of the land; that they have the perfect right to qhnnge their laws and Constitution or to abolish them without doing it in the manner prescribed by the Constitution end without consulting the minority, and regardless of their rights. We know that leading Democrats in Philadelphia, had been charged with instigating the late riots in that city, but we did not expect to hear mob law openly advocated by the leaders of the Democra'ic party, in Indiana. However murder will out. Wonder how our friends would like to have their hdoctines carried out? The Whigs have a large majority in this county as shown by the recent elftction. II they should say' to the minority. Gentlemen, being the minority, you have no rights in opposition to the sovereign will of the ma jority, and it is the will of that majority , that you depart into the bucuer state, we rruess thev would demur to it and claim he rights guaranteed to them by the Constitution, and very properly too. We guess the Suckers would put in a demurer too, to surdi a movement. 9$i CTj- We see by the St. Louis Dvenini; Ga2ette, that it was as healthy there, throughout the mouth of July, as in any preceding year during the same month.- and that it is net expecteJ to b sickly durinz the season. The Tnuthof the Matter. The following remarks, by the Journal of Commerce, on tho assertion cf th Philadelphia Gazette, that the rr.ob principle prevails at Philadelphia, are so judicious ihat we give place to them instead of writing, as we had proposed, an article on the same subject. They put the whole matter in exactly the true light perspicuously exhibit the inner actuality, as tbe Germans would call it. of the Phila !' phia case. And we do not fear to ilN that, dreadful and deplorable as these rages have been, they carry even a tue with them in the exposition they yy:tically afford of principles tint have beMi and still ate avowed by public men and presses, claiming to represent the pure and genuine republicanism of the nation. A'. V. Com.' Here then we have the principle which makes mobocracy strong in Philadelphia. It 13 precisely the principle of the Dorr treason in Rhode island, with which Mr. VTan Buren, Judge -Yanderpool, Major Daverzac, am! their friends, so culpably sympathized. Philadelphia exhibits the inevitable working of the principle, thut the majority are the rulers with . it reference to the!conti;ution. TI- fatal error must be, -exterminated from m r s il, or our boast of 'tho constitution and tiie laws' must be abandoned forever. X - The doctrine on both .sides K that t,.o majority are the nners. lint on one mm it is contended that the majoiity is to be ascertained, and is to govern aeoordmg to e compact wrio;oi out. called a c u-tiiu-tion. Iu these compacts it is provided that at certain sp'C;.fi: d intervals the majority Flial! be ascertained by the ballot, and that each result dud stand as tho order of the m; j rity unt.l repealed by another election. At these elections the majority select from their own number their agents, to administer the government in the exercise of such powers as by tiie constitution are placed in the hands of the majority. In this manner John Tyler was elected ice President of tho U. States, and by the Providence of God and the provisions of the constitution, succeeded to the Presidency. Tiie majority elected him, anil committed to him for four years tho executive administration of tho country At the end of three months from the time of his entering upon the duties of his office. there was not one man in four, perhaps not one in ten. who would have voted foi him. The majority at any rato was overwhelming against him. No new election was to take place for four years; and what was tho anti-Tyler majority to do? The Dv.rrite principle says, they wero to take arms, march to Washington, displace John Tyler, and put Michael Walsh or some other chieftain of ihe mob, in the chair of state; telling him, in all probability, that tho will of the majority was, that the' constitution should no longer control the Executive, but that the will and pleasure of their appointee should be his guide. To this result does the new doctrine tend, and to this result would it imrr.ediatelv brinour hanov country. The - - - - - j CJ t 1 w majority would be ascettair.ed on the field of battle, and the constitution would be the will of the strongest. The men wo have named, and the democratic leaders very extensively, with the Evening Po3t and most cf tho Democratic newspapers. have been sowing these seeds, and now they see the harvest. It is a harvest of blood and desolation. If these rank weeds of political falsehoods are permitted to grow, the fnd will be the establishment of an absolute monarchy over us, governing not by the will and in the name of a peaceable and hn'ppy majority, but by the loud voice of an aristocracy of cannon and a democracy of muskets. Nothing is mora simple or more certain than this process. The people still stand out in Southwark, the govern ors of the municipality. Aa a commonwealth in the State house of Wharton market, with cannon and all the implements which kings do use, the people deliberate and rule, setting the magistrates of their ow n choosing and tho constitution of their own adoption at defiance. The trailer?, who according to tli4
