health has been very critical for weeks, and
though such was the fact, his Federal friends,

The government has just received de-

To The Treaty, but It was expected that the

THE POPULAR MAJORITY.
We had thought that the Federal p;


had exhausted its whole stock of iaIse-
hoods and misrepresentation. during the
political contest which has just drawn to
close, and that for while. al least. its lea
ders would Law aside such low, mean, and
unworthy weapons. We had thought that
they would do So from sheer exhaustion.
if iron, no other cause. But no! true TO
their old vocation, they have become since
their defeat. even more inscriptions than
before. As an instance. The Federal
press has been asserting that Mr.. Clay had
majority Of the popular votes, and that
if the voice of the people could have made
the Chief Magistrate, Mr.. Clay would have
been the man. Now we would tell our
readers that this is bare-faced misrepre-
senta,ion. MIR. Clay has not received a
majorityo of the popular vote. On the 9TH
err hand, Mr.. Polk has received large ma.
inrity. And had not a single foreigner,
who has heen naturalized during the last
twelve months. voted for Mr.. Polk. still
he would have gotten decided majority
of the votes Of native born citizens. We
had intended. to compile table. sleN ing
such'to be the case, but instead, we will
copy the following extract from an article
in The Globe. Our readers will see that
the first paragrap pin is a qun,ation from the
National Inteiligencer. -+,
With the vote of Tennessee, the vote of
New York would have placed Henry Clay In
the Presidency-a station which he was so
fitted to fill, which he so we'll earned by life
Of devotion and pre-eminent service, and tor
uhich he hos received a large maorify # the
votes IF his countrymeh. How burning is the
shame, and how deep the disgrace that the
will Of this majority should have been rfnder-
I'd abortive. and the fondes hopes Of this great
nation crushed, by means openly and undenl-
ably fraudulent, and yet without remedy!'
We make out summary of he popular
vote in several States, which is so nearly ex-
act. as to render apparent TO every mind the
gross and wilful falsehood Of the Intelligent
GERS assertion.
Full returns have been received from about
one-half the States, and partial returns from
all the others except Arkansas. The late e.
lection for Governor and member of Con-
gress, enables US to make a close estimate for
Arkansas. s-a
In South Carolina, the Legislatnre- elects
the elan'I..o .he Legislature in South Car
DINA; and the returns for members of the Lee
gisature show, we believe, a Democratic ina
jority Of about 10000. But as it is probable
tie Wings did not exert themselves in that
State, We have estimated the Democratic ma
iOritU in II at Ok non
