ing" we suppose by parity of reasoning
the same individuals would consider {
State debt q State blessing! we do MOI
however subscribe to the doctrine which
is English in its origin, but consider it I'M
sound as political maxim and of danger

will use their best endeavors to prevent q
further increase of the debt oflhis State.
ReSoired, That the enthusiasm with
which the nominations of the late Demo
National Convention are received at the
North, South, East, the West, is Il
handsome commentary upon the generous
spirit Of compromise by which these nom
nations were effected The union and zeal
which now unanimously prevade the demo-
cratic ranks, is an earnest that the pres
en- conflict will carry discontinue into the
wing ranks, defeat Henry Clay, and for
ever PROSTATE his darling scheme of a fGy
million Bank.
Rcsoircd, That in JAMES X. POLK
he democratic candidate for President we
recognize an old and consistent democrat,
of sterling ability, tried integrity who is
opposed to National Bank in any and
every shape; to the distribution by gift of
the nations money while the nation is in
debt; to the unnecessary extension of pri-
vate corporations in their nature irrespon-
sibIe, and to the assumption of the State
debts; who is in favor ola sound circula-
ting medium for the people and Govern
ment; who is in favor OF a discriminating
tariff Of duties on imports TO delray the
necessary expense of government, and who
by the frmness and integrity with which
he resisted the food OF corruption by
which the late United States Bank attemp-
ted to force from Congress, a rccharter, has
given undoubted guarantee that the true
interests of the whole people of these Uni
ted States will be safe in his hands as our
next President

The reverend Mr. Clapp, ofNew Orleans
recently preached sermon on the rei-
gious character of DR. Franklin. From
the closing paragraph of short report we
copy the iolIowing;-
1t is both false and unphilosophical to
charge any man with a want of pieiy be-
cause he differs from US, in his mode OF

The crackest hos you ever seen,
Like new hounds tooth fiom ear to knee,

To distance Massa Henry Clay,
And he walk the course very ea-sl-fe-
will Jimmy Polk from Tennessee,

Clear the track! let Jimmy 60
Hear him snort! ha hal no. ho
Such hos nobody never sec,
As that Jimmy Polk from Tennessee!

From Hayti.-We are indebted to a
friend for permission to copy letter da-
ted Aux Cages, May 2G, for which we have
not room to-day, 1t describes the state of
wretchcdness to which the inhabitants were
reduced by the black General IN command.
Fifteen hundred of the citizens who
were able to escape, had fled for safety,
most ofthem to King:io on, Jamaica. Those
who remained, were murdered, robbed
thrown into prison, or put in constant fear
for their lives, Houses were broken open
and piIaged, and there was no security
for property or life, The arrival of the u.
s. SIoop of war Prcblc, Capt freedom, was
hailed with great satisfaction. The bold
and manly conduct Of this officer had the
effect of checking the crueIlcs practiccd
upon the deienccIess inhabitants, by the
blacks in authority, and in saving much
American property.
On the25lh Gen. Guerrior was proclaim
ed President Of IIayti, and the almost des-
oIatc city was Illuminated on the occasion.
His arrival with an army for the protcc-
ton oiiho city, WAS anXiously expected,
and it was greatly feared that iflhe Amcrl-
can sIoop OF War should leave, American
property would de sacrificed to CRAFTY the
revenge Of those in power.
