PRESERVE THE REPUBLIC AND MAINTAIN
THE LAWS.

From divers suspicious indications. which
we have marked in the movements and eXpses
sions OF certain leading politicians and presses
we are forced 10 entertain an apprehension thai
this Presidential election is not destined topass
away as quietly and peaceaby as any oil The
others which have preceded it, And hence We
would remind our fellow-cilzens Of oil parties,
that our Government was instituted for the ben
eft of our posterity, as well as ourselves-and
that the laws should be maintained, at all ha'
yards, and at any reasonable sarn6ce Of per-
sonal interests.
All good men should be prepared to submit
10 the decision of The ballot boxes, since all legal
voters will have access TO the polls. We trust
that there may be no new abduction plot, no re-
rolution in contemplation, in The event-wh'ch
is a certain event--of Mr.. Clay's defeat OF
course we would say the same in the event OF
Colonel Folks defeat-but that is impossible.
YET We have a presentiment that scenes OF
violence will ususpire in some of the large CT
,ies-and we have always thought that when
a serious attempt should be made in this coun-
,ry to overthrow the Government, it would take
place abou, the time Of Presidential election.

The FAIR Sex IN AMERIcA.-You seldom see an
American lady accompanied in her walks, rides
or drives except on Sundays, by gentleman 1t
would be waste Of time, and, consequently a use
less expenditure Of money to indulge in the gentle
and refining society of the female sex. Young, deli
cate and pretty women are met unprotected, clad IN
the gayest colors. believe they not denied any
OF the innocent enoyments procured by dress and ie
male society, and they may be pacing the
from store TO store, aud from boarding house to
boarding house, shopping, and paying visits. This
custom of young married women not having a home
Of their own, but inbabiting those nests Of gossip
called boarding houses, seems to me injudicous aud
rePrehensibe. The young AmericAn wIie-and they
marry when almost chidren-is thus left all day
without the society Of her husband the protection
Of his presence Her conversation is limited TO the
vicious details Of scandal, the inspid tu addle Of
dress; and in place where all have right to suter
the good and well disposed woman must frequently
come in contact with many who, had she Possessed
home OF her own, would never have been admitted
TO her presence.-.urs Houston, Teras aud the CuJf

VALUABLE RrLro, sit is said that among the Chi

have been worn by an upright magistate. Upright
magistrates must be very scarce in China, that their
boots should be bed IN such high estimation If they

th'ng OF SPECIAL or particular account In some
parts OF The world that we wot OF, magistrates are
not much esteemed while alive not to say any thing

The Federal prints say the Madisonian is
the only ..loco focon paper that is certain OF
Col. Folks success We care not how many
or how few consider his election certain, and
beyond oil contingency, they all beiiere he will

WINGED that Mr. Clay is to make their fortunes

The Republican party is united, and maiu-
tains steady column. The Wings are in an
uneasy, feverish, fretful condition. The DEM
ocratic party has always consisted ola majority
Of the voters, and is consequently independent,

shifting and changing every day ; now striving
to get abolition votes, which loses them friends

The Wings in the city of New York bad a
party were in the streets, walking behind a
portrait Of Mr.. Clay.
They had similar procession in Baltimore
the day before the Guberpatorial election, and
the next day the Democracy carried the city by
adscided majority.
The mechanics and aboring men in all the
large cities, oulnumber the siIk-stocking gentry.
They have no time, however to throw away
on princely pageants, but stay at home and sup
port their families by The sweat of their brows.
But when the day Of election comes, and the
country is to be saved they are sure to be found
in the right place, and in sufficient numbers to
take care Of their liberties.

said that there IL another letter Of similar TENOR sd
dressed to General Smith, one Of the Native Amer

Whether these letters will be published on the eve
Of the election, whether they will be only read a

of influencing their votes, we do not know. As
however, they relate to the opinions Of a candidate

We inquire, therefore, whether II is true ,ba, Gen
Smith OF Philadelphia has received letter from MIR
Clay concerning the question Of altering the nstura

The doctrines Of the Native American party, and
whether it does not express hope that Native Amer

A FORGED LETTER

The Wing papers in Ohio are publishing a
letter purportng TO have been written by Biz
ney, which is forgery. The letter states, or
rather confesses, that he, Birney, is doing all he
can to secure the election of Col. Polk. The
last genuine letter of Biruey, gives the lie to
the assertion, and proves this note to be an ar
rant forgery.
The Wings need not trouble themselves in
this way, for Col Polk will be elected in spite
Of all the efforts they are capable Of making.
