The spirit of democracy. [volume] (Woodsfield, Ohio) 1844-1994, 1844-08-02

paper which does not COMMUNICATIONS
from the sinking ship Of Whiggery.--
The fact is, the number is becoming SO
great, that some Of our folks talk Of
limiting the time within which we will
receive eshaightouts," If they con.
tinue to pour into the swelling ranks OF
POLK & DALLAS as they have
since the Baltimore Nominations, Mr..
Clay will scarcely get the six states
which Gen. Jackson gives him, in his
letter to Gen Planche, which, will be
found in another column.

The Editor promises to continue
the list when he has room. He also
says, in his paper of the same date,
that he learns from a reliable source
that Gov. RlTNER is out against Hen
ry Clay. ThiSis probable, as it is pi ct
ty well understood that the rejection
of Ritner's nomination as superinten-
dan. of the Mint. was procured through
the efforts Of Mr.. Clay. Rumor also
has it that Thomas II. Burrows, Rit-
ner's Secretary of State, and James
Todd, his Attorney. General has pro-
CLAIMED their opposition to Mr.. Clay.
This is natural. Clay insulted the An
ti-Masons by his letter of 1886, and
they nowhave an opportunity oireven-
ging themselves. If the old Harrison
leaders are thus found deserving Mr..
Clay, who so siley as to believe him
able to carry Pennsylvania?

General Felix Houston, one Of the

Ithas been said without any contra
1iction so far as we know, that Ex-
Governor Ritner, of Pennsylvania, and
Thomas H. Burrows, his Secretary
If Safe, men Of great influence
with the anli-masonc branch Of the
Hhig party, have, at all evens, refus-
d to support Clay, if they have not
,ome ou! for Polk.
1t is well known that John V. l..
who was decidedly the
most effective orator in his State, as
le is indeed one of the most eloquent
nen in the country, will never support
Henry Clay. Before long, we hope
o hear the "trumpet-tongued" tones
# his voice once more raised, as they
we're in the glorious campaign of '2S,
tgainst "Adams and Clay,' and for
'OLK and DALLAS.
