L. l.. DANFoRTH, Sec'ry.

The manifest superiority of the Demo-
cratic Prox, over that which the federalists
have chrstened by the name Of "Whig,"
appears to excite their envy, and their fears.
Being no longer able to impose upon tho
people by their stale cry Of "Loco-focoisn,"
they are now quarreIIing with the Demo-
cratic nominations because they give the
lie to all that they would imply by that term.
In making the selections for the Repub-
lican Prox, while the first thing regarded
was to place in it such men only as are
true and unflinching democrats, some men
who are interested in banking institutions
were chosen, for the purpose of showing
how entirely unfoundcd have been the
charges against the administration party,
which have been reiterated by the federal
prints, Of hostility to well regulated Banks.
Such charges being no longer available,
they are now manufacturing FALsEHooDs,
and thereby endcavoring to establish
charge of inconsistency upon us. They
must found their charges upon more sta
bic foundation, before they can succeed
bat they are so much given to LYING that
they will not attcmp any other mode, and
cannot if they would.

SHIN-PLASTER PARTY"

The Pennsylvania Reporter, under this
head, gives US the vote on the resolution
for the resumption of specie payments on
the 10th of May. The resolution was M
roduced by one of Mr.. BrDDLE's bank
party in the Senate, for the purpose of
,oo'ing it down. The Reporter gives the
ID yeas IN favor of resumption, and the
~ nays against it, and adds :-GlObe.

This is means Of corrupt coercion, we be.

cause must surely be bad one that requires
resort to such arrogant and damnine

no yoke, whether civil or religious, that may

The "UeraH Of the Times" Of Thurs
day last, having asserted that the Collector
Of this Port has recently sold a quantity Of
Specie to one Of the Banks in this Town,
we have been requested to insert the follow
ing corrcction:--
"The Collector had no Specie, conse-
quenlly none was sold-but he had a large
Draft, which il was necessary to break into
small sums, for the payment of Public Cred
itors and as the only means in his pow
or, he availed himself of one of the Banks
to effect that object. A difference of or-
change, or premium of ID per cent. was re-
allied for the Draft, which was immediate
y paid out to those to whom the, money
was due.-Neither the Collector, nor the
Government, derived any benefit from the
transaction"
We copy the above from the Mercury,
to refute the statement made in the last Her.
aid, charging our Collector with selling spe-
Gle to the Banks. We have done this no
so much to expose the falsehood of the
charge, as to do an act ofjustce to that ex,
celent and efficient officer. All attempts
to reform the Herald we have abandoned al
hopeless. The coterie who cater for it
columns are so little the subjects Of mora
restraint, that they have long since become
deaf to the voice Of reason, and dead to the
admonitions Of conscience.

o. We have received communication
from person in Tiverton, setting forth the
case of man who says he was hired by the
phigs last fall TO vote for them, and that
they paid him in counterfeit money. Their
is nothing to excite any surprise in such a
transaction, as these said phigs are noto-
rious dealers in cOunterteits, and if any man
is taken an by them, in our opinion, they
'sarved him right"

Our little friend, the little Capt, Of the
little Warren Star, sometimes attempts TO
be witty, but it aint in him. Though he
every now and .ben gets on tiptoe, and tries
to say smart thing or two, yet few but
himself arc able 10 discover the gist. This
same, little Capt. once sought to distinguish
himself from other little chaps, by volun-
teering to carry the CONSTITUTIONAL FLAG !;
but this, owing TO difficulties little folks fire.

crowd, he has recently struck and has
since gone over to the ENEMY. They i'm

shoes and an old fashioned pitch pipe; and,
after exhibiting him in the principal cities,
under the cognomcn of Major Stevens"
they gave him his present location, as fac

suing election, and that we pledge our
selves 10 them to use every honorable CT
fort, to ensure its success.

WHAT NExT.-The managing clique Of
the Herald, not content with modestly arro-
eating to themselves and their party, all the
property and intelligence, and decency"
in the country, have uniformly s,igmatised
the supporters of the administration as n set
of ignorant, miserable locofocos; destitute
of character, substance, principle, or intlu-
encc; and made up altogether of enigrants
and paupers. But no sooner hod the Re-
publican Prox made its appearance, than
the tones Of this organ of dcccncy' were
suddenly changed. Finding that the use
of such terms of reproach against Governor
Francis, and tho gentlemen associated with
him in the ticket, were i'll suited to the sub
ject, and not likely to take with the free
men, they Immediately turn on the Other
tack, aud are down upon the ticket as be-
ing too select-too refned--even for theiI
high notions of gentility. We now hea'
not word about loco-focos but the free
men are warned to guard against the dan
gerous influence of large land-holders
practical farmers, bank presidents &C., Al
though the institutions Of the country wer'
nov to be endangered by the wealthy busi
ness men. and those holding too large al
interest in the soil These are the loco

Ivhig Panic Measures Rererting onther
orn heads.-The federal papers in New
York have cried panic, for political effect,
until even the opposition business men are
obliged to demonstrate against system of
warfare which is destroying them. We
copy the following from the n. Y. Sun -

that some of the merchants have found it
necessary to enter their protest against the
artillery Of the opposition press, which, like

and their protestaiions that the administra-

other things;"
"Their object in thus writing against the
mercantile interest Of this city, is well un-
detstood here to be poiitical-but their
paragraps are read in distant parts Of the
Union by those accustomed TO look TO this
city for supplies Of goods, and the conse-
quencc IS that our customers, receiving so
nnfav orsble accounts from here. and so
cheering news from Philadelphia, ro TO the

Sir, in conclusion, my object in rising was
simply to call the attention Of this committee
and Of the country to this extraordinary is
sue raised between the President and the
People. The President and his party hive
used and abused the local bank capital Of the
nation for the worst purposes of political
prostituiion-tod destroy national bank-and
to carry into operation the first Executive
experiment" And they turn round and &C.

reference Of this Executive charge against
the People to any committee whatever. and
more especially to the Committee of Ways

Dear Sir.-The l23d and 81 18th regi

discharge of few pieces Of artillery from

Lockport are stationed near the storehouse

The Seat of War.--We have nothing
new from the Camp at Navy Island. Gen.
Van Rensselaer, came up last night. and left
town this morning The general impress
sion now is. that the Island will be evacuat-
ed in very few days. Whether the force
there assembled will make descent upon
Canada, or come to this side. and disband,
we are unable to say; but incline to the be.
lief that the latter course will be adopted
1t certainly is much to be desired In the
present situation Of Canada, with no Patriot
force embodied in any part Of it, il would be
a desperate undertaking for the Navy Is
landers to land. They might be able to do
something. but the chances are very much
against them. The maintenance Of force
on the Island has led to an outrageous viola
