GoUgD FIDDLE.

From the Nashville Whig-Aug 81.
In the Nashville Union of Wednesday
last, there appeared the following card:
TO the Editor Of the Union:
S1R-Being informed that the Hon.
Henry Clay Of Kentucky, in his public
speech at Nashville yesterday, alledged
that l had appointed the Hon. Edward
Livingston Secretary of State when he
was a defaulter, and knowing him TO be
one, feel that am justified in declaring
the charge to be false. 1t is known to
all the country that the nominations made
by the President TO the Senate are refer
red to the appropriate committees of that
body, whose duty it is TO inquire into the
character of the nominees, and that if
there is any evidence of default or any
disqualifying circumstances existing a
gainst them, rejection Of the nomination
follows. Mr. Livingston was member
of the Senate from the State of Louisiana
when he was nominated by me. Can Mr.
Clay say that he opposed the confirmation
of his nomination, because he was de.
faulter! ESQ, the journals of the Senate
will answer. But his confirmation by the
Senate is conclusive proof that no such OBJ.
lection, if made, was sustained, and am
satisfied that such charge against him
could not have been substantiated.
am also informed that Mr. Clay charg-
ed me with appointing Samuel Swartwout
collector of the port Of New York. know.
ing that he had been an associate of Aaron
Burr. To this charge it is proper to say
that knew Of Mr. Swartwout's connec.
ton with Aaron Burr, precisely as did
that of Mr. Clay himself. who, if the his.
tory of the times did not do him great in.
justice, was far from avoiding an associa-
ton with Burr when at the town of Lex.
ington in Kentucky. Yet Mr. Clay was
appointed Secretary of State, and i may
say confidently with recommendations FOL
character and fitness not more favorable
than those producedto me by the citizens
Of New York in behalf Of Mr. Swartwout
Mr. Clay too at the time of his own ap.
poin.ment to that high Office, twill be re.
collected, was directly charged through.

For Clay rides me rough.shod, though that

And turned up their cups as a finishing Sign
Said they, if the news you tell us be true,
We surely are beaten by Tippecanoc.
Oh! dear--what will you do?

THE FARMER OF NORTH BEND.

Tune-Aua Lang Syne.
Can grateful freemen slight his claims,
Who bravely did defend
Their lives and fortunes on the Thames,
The Farmer of North Bend
The gladstone chorus swell, my boys,
The Farmer Of North Bend
Well give right good hearty vote,
To the Farmer of North Bend.
The trump of Fame in storicd song
The Patriots deeds shall tell,
And freedoms voice the strain prolong,
The gladstone chorus swell.
The gladstone chorus swell, my boys,
The gladstone chorus swell,
Wen join to night in merry song,
The gladstone chorous swell.
The Chieftain heard the stirring drum,
And bent his soldiers bow,
But victor soon-he hasted home,
His farming fields to NOV.
His farming fields to NOW, my boys,
His farming fields to NOW,
Exchanged the sabre for the scythe,
His farming fields to NOV.
Though youthful valor bravely won
The laurel on his brow,
Yet yictory's triumphant son
Now holds the Yeoman's plough,
Now holds the Yeoman's plough, my boys
Now holds the Yeoman's plough,
And soon We'll try his trusty hand
10 hold the Nations plough.
Now hear tho note, his country's call,
From hill top and sea shore,
1t comes from camp, and cot, and hill,
And oil the Valleys Ger.
And all the Valleys DER my boys,
And all the valleys DER.
1t calls him to the rescue boys,
From all the valleys DER.
The hero, who long years ago,
Once wore the warriors mail,
Now comes to beat the Yeoman's foe,
A Farmer with his fail.
A Farmer with his fail, my boys,
A Farmer with his fail
And they'll get right good thrashing yet
From the Farmer with his fail
Then cheer we up, my boys, tonight,
A helping hand we lend,
And pledge the Sucker State tonight,
To the Farmer from North Bend,
To the Farmer Of North Bend, my boys
To the Farmer of North Bend,
Wen pledge tho Sucker State tonight,
To the Farmer Of North Bend.

ATTACK UPON THE METHO.
NISTS

A friend has just handed US copy of
the "Old Dominion" of the 22d instant,
in which we find the paragraph which we
annex.
The Old Dominion is a Loco Foco pa
per, having the name of Van Buren, and
Polk at its head, and is published al Ports
mouth, in Virginia.
The following is the extract 10 which
we refer:
"PoLITIcAL PRIEsTcRAFT.-The Fed
eral clergy, true TO their instinct, are max
ing simultaneous effort all over the coun-
try to destroy our republican institutions.
They have ever been the enemies of pop

THE MACON CONVENTION.


Georgia Is Coming! The Macon
Convention of the 18th was a rouser. Il
, will be seen that the Loco-foco Federal
lists were frustrated in their attempt to in
timidate the People, by powder and ball
The Muscogee delegation were attacked
when they went into Macon, and wher
they came out. But the spirit of the true
Democracy is not to be put down in thai
way.
Extract of letter, dated
g Macon, August g.
"The wing convention at this place
consisted of upwards of ten thousand per.
sons, and every thing went off with the
greatest eclst. The enthusiasm Of the
people knew no bounds. 1t is scene
to animate the Responding, and to con-
firm the jealous in the confidence of sue
cess. The greatest harmony prevails,
with the most incorporating determi-
nation TO restore violated constitution.
1t is indeed source Of pride and pleas.
ure, to see the people once more ",ake
the responsibility" of deciding upon the
conduct of those who have been guilty OF
maladmlnistration.
The display of log cabins and ban
ners added to the interest of the scene.
Those ensigns Of rustic hospitality and
honest poverty, associated as they are
with the name Of Harrison, by the jibes
! Of the retainers Of the palace, were hailed
as often as they drew nigh, with an If
repressible shout for Harrison, Tyler,
and Reform.
/ " The address Of the Hon. John M.
Berrien, President Of the Convention,
was splendid effort of ddactic elo-
qnence. He was followed by Mr. Pres
ton, in speech Which arrested and de-
lighted the attention Of his immense au-
ditory with the happiest and most pow
erful appeals to their feelings and reason.
iMr Hiliiard, in an animated and able
speech, exposed the misrule and corrup-
ton of the Federal authorities. A uni
|versal sentimentof the necessity Of change
pervaded the meeting, and will convince
i the most incredulous that the spirit OF
Georgia is thoroughly aroused in the
cause Of political reform.

"HOLLAND's LIFE OF VAN BUREN,"
From the Washington Globe Feb. 18th 1886.
'This acceptable volume we did not
receive until after the commencement of
this session of Congress-; and since then,
pressure of business has prevented our
notice of it. This we the less regret, as
it has been generally and favorably intro
duced to the public by the Democratic
presses Of the country.
1t is neat duodecimo volume, of
1854 pages, into which the author. an &C.
complished scholar and civilian, has COM
pressed much interesting political histo-
ry, together with notices of the principal
events in the life of Van Buren,. 1t is
written in vigorous, manly style, with
great candor, and free from the spirit of
a PARTISAN; and rather with view, as the
author observes, to display the spirit and
principles of the Republican party in this
country, and to exhibit, by the history Of
an individual, the nature of the relation
which that party sustains to lis public
men, than to contribute to the political
elevation of any man.

culation, and recommend it. in strong
terms, to all those who wish to learn the
truth respecting the political course and
opinions of Mr. Van Buren,
