MORE SCREWS LOOsENING.

Never were the Wings more justified in
exultation at prospects of triumph than atthe
present moment. Every thing goes on fue-
ly. While the Locos are boasting of changes
ces misrepresentation, and in others to be Of
old party hacks who have been laid upon tie
shelf by their former associates as not worth
keeping, thousands Of honest Van Buren,
men, since Polk has been brought forward,
are making up a verdict Of condemnation
against the ~demagogues of the party. who
they see desperately bent upon a course to
sustain themselves, which sacrifices the peo-
pie to their sordid ambition, and especially

Polk, Polk, say they, and who is this Polk of
Tennessee in comparison with Henry Clay
whose history for thirty years has been writ

prosperity and glory. The older democrats
at least cannot forget those palmy days of the
true old democracy when Henry Clay 'broke
bread and ate salt nth" them, when lie presid-
ed in the House of Representatives the glory
of the nation, advocating and a%rousing the
people to a noble struggle against British in
suit and oppression, then negotiating a glori-
Gus peace, and laying deep aud strong the
foundations of that great American system of
protection to domestic industry which his en-

the people, by lying and misrepresentation
which would do honor TO the most fendish
spirits Of darkness aud malevolence.
To the Editor of the o. S. Journal:
DEAR SIR have been and am still a
Democrat, and | have voted for Martin Van
Buren,, but since the party choose TO advo-
cate the annexation ofTexas to the Union,
and make that a reason why Mr.. Polk should
be elected President, /, for one, cannot go
with him, nor will support him. or any 9TH
or man who is in favor Of bringing the North
ern States in subsection to the slave-holding
interests Of the South; and although Henry
Clay is a STAKEHOLDER, yet he has the man
hood to say what he knows to be true on
this as well as other subjects, and he will have
my vote next October.

Here they come. The following is from
the last London Sentinel. Truly, there is a
most propitious movement in the political
waters. Ohio comes up magni6cently. Those

results than any that has ever occurred will
speedily be convinced of their error.
