To our Itrt liirrn. W e wish to present to you a few tacts for your serious consideration, before you go to the Election to cast vnnr voles in the coming contest. We wish to do this in our plain way, without censure upon those who are endeavoring to mislead us and wiMiui; stating ati t ; but what we have Lilly examined, a;:d know to be true. We see constantly, print d in the newspapers, which supp.oit the Locofoco p-irty. :atement!?. direetrd l) Iri-h anil G.nn! oinn.a. attemotimr t, prove, that the party called, at;ve meri ...lilt'!: J .1. .1 c.'f.is, are mi v nigs, au.i toai tue trailers f ihsj p.-.rty are Whijs, that the I) mhocrai:c party ami us icauers, ara more fricnoty to foreigners, than any other party, and th Hi the U higs are opp''.ed to them. And also another statement, that uit. to - aid ui i.n or oi exteii-iinf a foreigner's residence before naturaliz ition. . i. - w . : . i- - - r to 21 year. ' e propose nw brethren, to examine diese tilings, and to show you what ithe trutii concerning them. We will furs '.her show you what has been tho policy ami practice of James K. Polk, their candidate for President, on tho great men sures of Internal Improvement and on tho Cumberland Road, measures vou all know wed. which deeply concern you and the laDoring poor man of the West. These things we will do in all honesty. We have no wish, no motive to deceive you. The love that you and we bear to one another, as the children of one beloved native and now distant land, the chain of a If action that bin is us together here as stringers, the memory of home, of ehtldhoo i and of the green graves of our fathers united in the oid church yards of our old homes, all rise up before us forbidding us to deceive or ailempt to lead you astray. Listen to us then, with these feelings upon you. Listen, for we speak witfi this feeling upon us. We have seen with regret the repeated elTorts made by the State Sentinel, and other Locofoco papers of the State and elsewhere, to induce you and us to believe that the leaders of the Nat American Party, are Whigs. And that the partyis mostly composed of Whigs. Brethren, the statement is not true. The Native Americans are men of all parties. Their leaders in Philadelphia are Peter Hay, the editor and publisher of a Polk and Dallas lcofoco paper the American Sentinel. He was chosen President of their 4th of July celebration. Thomas D. Grover, a leading locofoco and formerly a member of the Legislature. Thomas Dunn English a locofoco, and late a member of the Legislature. Charles J. Jack for years past a brawling locofoco. Lemuel Paynter late a locofoco member of Congress. Lewis C. Levin a locofoco. And many, very many others that we could name, all prominent in the Native American party and all locofocos. There is not a prominent Whig among them, and the Hon. Charles Naylor, stated by the Seminal, as among them, never belonged to them, and only interfered in the late riots to save bloodshed and human life. Not satisfied with this general charge against the Whig", they have in different parts of the coun'ry, charged Mr. Frelinghuysen the Whig candidate for Vice President, with being opposed to foreigners, and a leader of the Native American party. Read the following letter of Mr. Frelinahuysen upon that subject addressed to Judge Pirtleand Mr. Prentice of Louisville, and you will see that this charge in false. New York, July f, 184-1. Gentlemen: Your favor b duly received and its inquiries are cheerfully answered. Since my residence in this city, as chancellor of the University, I felt it to be my duty to its interests to retire very much from party politics, excepting so far as the sacred right of suffrage was concerned. I have had no connection with the Native American party, nor have i now. I have never spoken but in decided condemnation of the mob scenes of violence and blood in Philadelphia, and have had nothing to do with the matter of trie division of the school fund between Catholics and Protestants in New York. Indeed your inquiry is the first intimation I have had that such a subject has been agitated. Allow me to say, gentlemen, in the general, that I cherish the principles of of our constitution which allow full freedom of conscience, and forbid all religious tests and establishments as sacred and fundamental. THEO. FUELING I1UYSEN. Messrs. Henry Pirtle and George D. Prentice. These things are true, yet the Locofoco papers do not tell you of them. Look in the Philadelphia papers and you'll find them true. They want you to believe too, that democrats, as they call themselves, are dear

1 .vers of Foreigners Allow us to ask yon, nave they elected any of you to office? Have they divided the loaves and the fishes with vou? Oh no! Thev do

J v.. V, not love us weil enough for that. The origin of Native Americanism in Philadelphia, shows how they act in this reject. There, two men, Hugh Clark, lq., an Irishman ami a Catholic, and James Hutchinson, a Native American. wtre candidates lor Hie nomination of Mien!!, on the Locofoco ticket. Weil, did they nominate the Irishman? No! They cast ,',m aside nd took Hutchinson. Irishmen then saw that the Locos were all against them. They left the party. They "ulJnot vote for Hutchinson. They voted for the Whig candidate, Morton MoMichael. an Irishman. J they elected him. This made Hutch - insoa find his lnends m.nl. and thov de neuijced tlip Irish, an I formed the Native American part) toppose foreigners. The Whigs have n t acted so. Thev navp tleetrd Irishmen and Germans to olli :e. Two of the W,jg Senators of Indiana last winter were Irishmen, David Henry, ami John Ewing. And yon all remember, how the Locofocos treated one of them. Mr. Henry. Though he was legally elected, thpy turned him out of the Senate. The Whigs every man stood his friends, but the Locofocos every man voted against him and turned him out. These things show their hostility to foreigners. Do they support laws to make improvements, by Roads and Canals throughout the Country? This would givo to the poor man, work and good pay. This would enable him to feed his wife and children, and in the end to htiv lnd ami make himself a home. Well, are thev for it? No! no! thev are airainst it. They tell you Intern! Improvement hv the United States is uncousr ,.,, -.! ' Let us see. how Mr. Polk, 'h-ir can I d u stan is on this subject. Just lei u 3ee Mr. Polk's vote on the Cumberland Road: "JAMES K. POLK while in Congress voted on each proposition gainst appropriations to repair, preserve and continue the CUMBERLAND ROAD. " See the Journals of the House of Representatives of Congress ot 1N33-1 page 708, where he not only voted to lessen the appropriations, and after trying to defeat the law every way. at last voted against it, and so his name stands record ed. t?o a'o his votes May 19, 182o; Feb. 11), l-'J7; Feb. 26. 127; Feb. is, 1829, March 3, 1S35 all against the Cumberland Road. At the same session his voles are re corded against grai.ting Land to the States to mrke their public works. Now how stands Henry ('lay on the subject. He himself originated, started the Cumberland road and is in fact the father of it. Hern is his letter and opinions; read them Ashland, 1st June, is 14. Dear Sir: 1 received your favor and thank you for the friendly motives which prompted it. I must refer you for mv opinion on the question of Completing the Cumberland Road through the States of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, to a speech I made at Indianapolis in the autumn of 1842. It was published in the papers of that place and other papers; but 1 regret that I have no copy to send you. The substance of what I said was, that an estimate ought to be made of the expenses of finishing the road in the three States, to be stoned or gravelled where tone or gravel could conveniently be ob tained at a reasonable expense; and where they could not be so procured, to be clear ed, graded and btidged; and that appropriations from time to time should be made by the General Government ag the state of its finances would admit to complete the road; the money to be expended in each of the three States under the direc ted of the respective States. I am respectfully your fiiend and obedient servant, II. CLAY. R. E. CoNST.iBLE, Esq. It is true, he once voted against one appropriation, but at that time there was no money in the Treasury to pay for work. and of course, it would have done no good to pass a law. Deeides at that time Van Burenism, was in power, and that party refused to aid the Whigs in Internal 1mpiovemcnt measures, and Mr. Clay was determined, that as lliey were against these things they should take the responsibility. The above letter and his votes in Congress, show us that if he is elected, the work will go on." Thus you see Clay is for the road, but Polk is against it. Clay wants it made, and would give you work to do on it, and pay you for your work, but James K. Polk, the locofoco candidate, would not make it, would not give you work, but would let our people drag on through the mud and go hunt for work, wherever you could find it. This is the difference between them. Brethren, which is the friend of the poor man, in regard to the Cumberland Rood? Again, last winter the Whig Senate, the Senate which is in favor of the election of Henry Clay, passed a law to go on with the Cumberland Road, 3tid give us land for our canal. Thev gave us $10,000 for Indiana. Well what didj

the Locofoco Houseof Representatives do?

uememoer in mis House oi Kepresentatives there were almost twice ns many Democrats as Whigs. Did they agree with the Whig Senati-? No they did not. They killed the Cumberland Koad with it. I Ins is truth. Look at the Journal of the last Congress, and there these things are recorded. This law was passed by the Whio-Sen ate on the 7th of May. and here is the letter of our Senator informing us of its passage: Senate Chamber. May 7tli 1841 Sih: I have the pleasure to inform you that the Cumberland road bill, and the Wabash and Erie Canal bid, each passed tho Senate to-day, and were sent to the House. The former annronriates to the 1 Cumberland road .s'lOO.UOi) in Ohio, and XlM.000 in each of the Slates of Indiana and Illinois in all $ 1G),000 the latter grants to Indiana about 800,000 acres of land in the Vineennes District for the construeiioti of the Canal from Terre Haute to Evangviilo. A bill also passed the Senate granting a large quantity of land to Michigan for a Canal a.id railroad across her peninsula. Yours Sec. ALU. S. WHITE. And yet some of the misscalled Demo cratic papers of this State have falsely puonsiieu mat trie house passed the law and the Senate refused. Drother Irishmen and Germans these tl are printed by the Locofocos to gull deceive you; will you allow it to be done with impunity? Now is it not plain to every man, that if the Pemoetat Congres smen had passed this, givitifir us ';150,lrn to work out on the Ct -.j Road, and also giving us about ,V -;res of land l0 get and rajs- -nplete the Snub end of th- "ia rt'iltl River Canals, evei y . -- 'fan w.nj i13ve had plenty of work, and good pay for it, and trjat Irish men and Germans a id others, couid have made money o' t of the contracts and their labor on them. Yes it is plain to every one, and we have to thank the Polk and Dallas party in Congress and all over the country, for electing such a Congress, for depriving, us of theee profits. And yet they pretend to ba the friends of foreigners. Shame on such pretended friends!) i p. "By their works shall ye know them," and their works are all against ye. Another charge that they make to delude you is, that the Whig parly are trying to change the naturalization law, so that twenty one years residence will be lequired. Hrethren, have you ever been told of any act of thj. Whig party that proves this charge? It is true one Whig Senator (Mr. Archer) said he was in favor of it. it is also true a Democratic Senator. (Mr. Buchanan) presented petitions for it. Now because one man shall be in favor of a thina; is it right to charge the whole Whig party with u? It is not right. It is not just. Several of the Whigs in Congress, as the Journals show, and amongst them John Quincy Adams, spoke warmly against this change, there were many W hig Congressmen spoke against it, and only one for it. And yet these Locofocos, would have you believe that the Whig party was doing this tiling. Dont they remem her that these petitions to change the Naturalization laws, were signed by the native Americans of Philadelphia, and that the leaders of these native Americans, are Locofocos? The Whigs might with much more reason charge this thing on the Locofocos. Let these Locofocos go ask Alderman Peter Hay, one of their Polk Editors in Philadelphia, or Thos. I). Grover another of their Polk friends there, who wants Foreigners to live here twenty-one years, before they can vote, and these Locofoco leaders wiill tell them they do. But why do they charge Henry Clay with this thing? Has he ever said he was against Foreigners? No, never. His heart is warm towards them. A long time ago before he was a candidate for President, he told us, in a speech he made what he thought of Foreigners. Here it is brother Irishmen and Germans, read it, and our word for it, it will make the generous blood leap in your veins. You cannot read this speech and believe Henry Clay your enemy. He is your friend and always has been so. "Of all foreigners, none amalgamate themselves so quickly with our people as the natives of the Emerald Isle, in some of the visions which have passed through my imagination, I have supposed that Ireland was originally part and parcel of this Continent, and that, by some extraordinary convulsion of nature, it was torn from America, and drifting across the ocean, was placed in the unfortunate vicinity of Great Britain. The same open, heartedness; the same generous hospitality; the same careless, uncalculating indifference about human life; characterize the inhabitants of both countries. Kentucky has sometimes been called the Ireland of America. And I have no doubt that, if the current of emigration were reversed, and sent from America upon the shores of Europe, instead of bearing from Europe to America, every American emi rrant to Ireland would there find, as every

CONNER, l I7.IAN, K Calihen, 1' ELLIN'ZER. P, Indianapolis, July 21), 1841. Mr. Clay's Character. The following account of Mr. Clay is communicated to us byagentlemanwho has no personal attachment to him, and but the most distant acqnaintance, though ho lived several years in Kentucky, and speaks entirely from knowledge, having been, (as he still is,) a steadfast Locofoco at all times, and only impelled to vote for Mr. Clay now (while voting for all the Locofoco ticket beside) because of his immova ble hostility to the Texas Plot and his disgust at the peisonal slanders on Mr. Clay. We have known him these ten years as a resolute but candid political adversary. To the Editors of the Tribune: The Texas question is the controlling motive in my leaving the Jackson and Van Buren party, after acting with them for thirteen years. Believing that the ultraj Texas party, it they should be permitted to carry their points, would plunge the United States into a perfidious course of action, die honorable to our national character, contrary to justice, sound policy and magnanimity, and dangerous to the integrity of the Union. Although this was tho turning point, yet I have long had a deep feeling of mortification and disgust at the unmanly, illiberal and un just attacks upon Mr. Clay 's private char acter. He i3 not perfect he has committed errors; but they were errors of the time and place and of the circumstances around him, and not those of a mean and selfish nature. We should make some allowance for the stato of society among the haidy pioneers of the Western country. The early settlers of Kentucky and Tennessee were a courageous race, bold and heroic even to rashness. Their sports and amusements were of a wild and of the most daring character. They were always ready for a frolic or a fight, and they did not care which. Making the proper allowance for the exaggeration and caricature geuerally introduced into the drama, the 'Kentuckian,' and 'Nimrod Wildfire,' as represented by Mr. Hackett, exhibits the spirit of the character. Mr. Clay's character, in many respects, strongly re sembles that of Gen. Jackson. They an? both of the bold, courageous and active character not afraid to speak their minds, or to take the responsibility, and who cannot turn aside to avoid an enemy. (Mr. Clay resemblesGen. Jackson tenfold more than the gentleman who has lately been christened "Young Hickory.') Both, after sowing their wild oats, have long since settled down into a sober, steady and honorable deportment. Both are highly respected and esteems.! in their own immediate neighborhoods by the people of all parlies. As a sincere friend and admirer of Gen. Jackson, I could but regret that he should deem it necessary to repeat at this time, the stale, ungenerous and uncharitable charge of Bargain and Sale agiinstMr. Clay. Gen. Jackson and Mr. Clay have both rendered distinguished services to their country. Politically, they had long been rivals, Gen. Jackson had been gratified in almost every wish, to an extent which, one would think, should have satisfied any reasonable msn. The man

- who had been his rival had nK.. . . t,;

claims to his countrymen undoubtedly fur the last rime. Gen. Jackson could amply have atlorded to act the generous and mac nauimous part, and to have said notion?. I have no doubt thaf Mr m3W , - ' the most prominent candid for .h. cession. On the death ,f Mr. CHn.nn , the same was said of Mr. Van Huren-and what public opinion seemed to indicate actually tooic place, let it" would have been most illiberal. nnr-nataM ,1 I irain and i- ( : i.i.uvK.-u.lJ Tl I. VjIAV l.-S IUII1H III U lTir Pharisees, who thanks God he is not like other men. He is bold, frank, manly and feineere, who sneaks his mind without coneealment. eminently courteous and agreeable in his manners, and makes those in his company feel as if they were with a friend. Numerous incidents might be related, showing ih justice and generosity of his character. 1 will relate one: Ax. Clay gave a farm to one of his sons who wished to commence business for himself. In a a few years the young man, from imprudent management and the general revulsion of the times, became bankrupt, and his property was all levied upon by the Sheriff. It was now found that the young man had no deed for the land, and that it could not be sold. Mr. Ciay had made no secret of this; it was said he wished it to be known, thinking it might check Ins son from getting too deeply into debt. The creditors had nobody to blame but themselves, yet witness the manly and honorable conduct of Henry Clay. He said the gentlemen had trusted his son in good faith, not knowing, perhaps, but what the land belonged to him, and it was right that they should have the benefit of it. He immediately gave a deed for near a thousand acres of valuable lsnd, which was sold for the benefit of his son's creditors. I will now relate an incident which goes to show the estimation in which Mr. Clay is held by his political opponents in his own immediate neighborhood. There was a young Democrat in Lexington, with more zeal than sense of propriety, who made an abusive attack upon Mr. Clay, and treated him with insult and indignity. The oldest Democrat in the place, who, from his general knowledge and great energy of character, was recognized as the Grand Sachem oi the Democracy in Lexington, went to the young man and told him he had done wrong. The young man said this was a free country and that he had a right to speak his mind to Mr. Clay or any other man. The old gentleman told him he was mistaken. Mr. Clay was greatly his senior in age, this alone should protect him, but in addition to this, Mr. Clay was a man of distinguished talents and splendid eloquence, which has given him a name and a fame throughout the United States, and indeed throughout a great part of the civilized world. He has also rendered distinguished services to his country in different responsible situations. He has the confidence and attachment of a large portion of the United States. Under these circumstances you committed a great impropriety in treating him with indignity. And unless you acknowlege your fault and make amendment, you will be regarded as a miserable blackguard, unworthy to associate with honorable men. The young man acknowledged his error and was forgiven. Mr. Clay wont to the old gentleman and thanked him, -md ai 1 that it was most grateful to bis feelings to be thus protected from insult by oiii who had always been so prominent and zealous a political opponent.

Not recognising his master, in the dusk, and mistaking him for a stranger, he called out, The Professor if not at home.'
