TO TIE PUBLIC.

On Tuesday afternoon, the last day Of
the election, in my absence, Doct. John j.
Lowry made a public statement in the
Court House, in which he charged me
with committing political fraud. in ma
king out ticket for Mr.. Isaac Skinner
When returned to the Court House was
informed of the charge and Immediately
called on one of my friends for what had
been said, and told him that l would get
up and denounce it as vile falsehood. He
remarked Gen. Clark had said in reply to
DR.. l.. all that was necesssry-that there
was then great excitement prevailing, and
nothing more would be said about it. l
was rot satisfied but took the advice of
older heads. Since that time have heard
of this charge being circulated in different
parts of the county. do not intend TO
handy blackguardism about the streets and
public places with these retailers, but
would call the attention of the public 10
the statement of Mr.. Isaac Skinner, who
gave The vote, and Mr.. J. Proctor, Sem.
who stood by while made out the ticket,
published below.
The public will Judge who committed the
fraud, the individual who made the charge,
or the one who made out the ticket, at the
request of his neighbor

"YouNo HicxoRr."-- Senator FOSTER, Of
Tennessee, since his return home made speech
at Murlreesboro', in which he spoke Of Mr.
PoLK's claims TO heroism, as follows:
ale said Mr.. Polk was called a hero--a
young hckory-and asked what great deeds Of
heroism bestowed upon him the title. I'VE are
(said Mr.. F.) about the same age. During the
late war-when our country demanded the help
Of all her sons, volunteered to defend her from
her enemies. saw General Jackson flash his
maiden sword-l saw him lead his first army to
battle and to victory! Where was this five days
wonder then? Where was this herol Was he
in the army defending his country? Far from
it. He was by his cheerful Preside, in Grundy s
law office. coming over 'Blacks,one's Common
tares.' Yet this man is called hero!'
D-Tom. Marshall, OF Kentucky, who has
been shlly shallying between the Wing and
Loco6oco parties, has at last boted from the
Wings, and gone to Nashville, to give in his adj
hesion. On the Saturday night before the cleo.
ton in Kentucky, he made furious speech in
Woodford county, which was expected to thin
the Wing ranks, but il did no such thing. No
body went over but Thomas F. Marshall, as the
election returns show. This was an unfortunate
beginning, but it is not the only mistake, as
things have turned out, which he has made.
The Frankfort Commonwealth, in a scathing re-
view OF MIR. Ms political conduct for some
time past, tells this anecdote
"When the preposterous nomination Of Polk
was announced, his observations upon that absurd
procedure were somewhat characteristic; The
Wings said he, ought to withdraw Clay in dis.
gust. 1t is running blood horse against
Jackass. Withdraw Clay and beat the tackey
with John White. ="

abandoned the locofoco party after the nomina.
ton OF Polk, was tainted the other day by some
of his old loco(oco brethren as having chonged
his coat. "You may call it changing my coat, "

POLK"

These veterans OF the dark days OF our Revo
luton, recollect, that Mr.. Polk, when in Con.
gress, voted against granting them and their sur.
viving comrades in arms a pension; hence the
natural hostility they feel TO his selection as
candidate for Chief Magistrate Of the Union
In all quarters. wherever you find an "old sol.
dier," you will find him sustaining their fast and
long tried hiend--HENRY CLAY.

More Of the Locofoco Concerts. Mr.. James
Lyons OF Virginia, whose name the LocoGoco
papers have been parading under the head of
"changes," publishes letter in the Richmond
Wing, in which he says the report is "ioholly
unJounded and maliciouSly false" The Locos
must be in the worst sort ola way They
should confne their notices Of changes to dead
men enllrely-for the live ones will give them
the LIE.
Some Locofoco papers have stated that Jere.
miah Morton, Esq, Wing sub.eector for Cul.
pepper. Va, has come out against Mr.. CLAY.
Mr.. Morton, in letter to the Rockingham Reg.
lister, denies the charge most unequivocaly.

The CONVENTION. voice OF the people
will be found to be in favor Of Convention to
amend our Constitution. The opposition it has
met with in the State has generally proceeded
from the ultra Benton portion Of the democratic
party, and unsuccessful in defeating the Conven
ton, their efforts will now be directed towards
securing a majority Of that body, 50 that they
will be able to control its action. The "hards"
were opposed TO it and il they succeed in OBJ
tanning majority, no good will be effected by
the Convention; they have proven by their acts
that they are in favor Of letting the Constitution
remain as it is, and give them majority in the
Convention, and if the Constitution is amended
at all, it will be in such manner as 10 render it
as exceptonable to the tue friends OF equal rep.
resentation as it is OF present. We caution those
who have been the advocates Of the Convention
to look to this matter. Every thing is yet to be
done from which any good can arise, and if they
are not watchful, their efforts will amount 10
nothing.

Messrs. Leonard, o. Rawlins and others on it.

then left me and Mr.. Proctor, whose spectacleS

him, requested Mr. John D, Perry to write

rowed my spectacles and read the ticket and
appeared to be satisfied. He, the said Skinner.
before the ticket was written out, requested Mr..
Perry to name over the candidates, which he did;
when he named Col. Davis. Mr.. Skinner said
he would vote for him, and then went on to
name such others as he would vote for, and Mr..
Perry wrote them down. He then named Jeter.
when asked him why not Headrick; he replied
that he was acquainted with Jeter, and Mr.. Perry
put his name down. While waiting for my spec
tacles, MI. Perry walked of and left Mr.. Skin
ner and myself together. Given under my hand

THE rARifF-CoNslsTENCY.

The loco focos here profess to be opposed to
the present Tariff, and in favor Of its immediate
repeal. 1t is denounced as q legolized system
Of swindling, unconstitutional and oppressive,
depressing the poor and elevating the rich, &c.
Not so in other sections Of the country, nor in
Congress. The loco focos had large majority
in the House OF Representatives at the last ses-
sion, and at its beginning it was sounded from
one end Of the country to the other that the
Tariff would be repealed but It was not At a
meeting Of the democracy Of Pennsylvania, held
at Harrisburg not long since, they marched under
beautiful banner, with THE TARIFF OF 1912"
as their motto The same Tariff which Mis-
souri, democracy calls unconstitutional and op.
pressve, and egalized system Of swindlng
Their candidate for the Presidency, James K.
Polk, is opposed to the present Tariff, and has
repeatedly expressed himself so. in strong and
pointed language. At the north, and in Pennsyl
vania, his friends say he is in favor OF Protection
In the South and West he is understood to be a
Free Trade man! Can any party succeed before
an intelligent people by adopting such course
as this? We think Motive hope not. The loco
foco party, as party, are bound together by no
fixed set Of principles. Opposition to the Wings
at every turn is the only thing they agree upon
when out Of power-when in power, they are
for or against anything that will keep them in.

VERY LATE FROM HAVANA AND

BY the arrival of the brig Pedraza Captain
Hutchinson, we have dates from Havana to the
18th inst. The Diario de la Marian of the 9TH
inst, says: by the arrival at this port yesterday
of the British mail steamer Teviot, in four days
from Vera Cruz we have The following import ant
announcement: An express arrived at this city
(Meyico) on Wednesday morning from Monterey,
with official dispatches for the Supreme Govern
ment, relating to desire manifested by President
Houston for a suspension of hostties already
commenced by the Mexican army on the other
side Of The Rio Bravo. The Government not
having yet published these important commune
cations, arc Of course ignorant of the terms"
This Monterey is Province or State near the
Texan borders, and not the sea port of that name
on the coast Of Upper California. 1t is probable
that President Houston, relying upon the as
surances OF the British Minister, has consented
to refer the question at issue between Texas and
Mexico 10 the pr0tfcred mediation of the British
Government, giving promise not to renew the
project of annexation with the United States.
Santa Anna has ordered general mourning
throughout the republic, for thirty days, in honor
of his deceased wife, to be strictly observed by
all government f1ncionares and heads of fapli-
lies. Quite royal.
a tax of Soc per quintal upon cotton raised in
the Department of Vera Cruz has been passed by
