LET THE TRUTH SPEAK.

The friends of the Intrigue Candidates" are
hard pushed, and see their doom 80 plainly
written throughout the Union, that they stop at
nothing-knowing full well that they have all to
gain, nothing TO lose. We do not remember ever
to have the veraciiy oil John Quincy Adams
questioned notwithstanding be has been a ocnspic-
AMI prominent actor in the political strife OF
the last sixteen years. The Loco Focos have pour
ed the "vials OF their wrath" upon his head, but
they have never accused him of falsehood-no, not
even that high prince Of the 1" venal train" Amos
Kendall has dared 10 assail him in this particular.
Read then, ye enquirers after truth, the words Of
this venerable man, now on the verge of eternity,
and weg On them in the scale with the cslumuies os

dsrys could blush at all, they would not dare to
look into the mirror which Mr.. Adams holds up
before the Country,
Mr.. Adams, during his visi, to the West last
year, addressed the people of Maysville, KY, and
in referring to the Bargain and Corruption s,o-
ry" between Mr.. Clay and himself thus spoke -
"The charges TO which you refer, I

Had we no further evidence of the falsity of the

should be entirely satisfied He has never bad his

LOCO FOCO HONESTY.

What an honest set of men these Loco Foco
Democrats are They have stolen poor John Ty-
er's Texas Thunder, and are now trying TO steal
enough of late even to steal the Wings Songs.
Yes, they are stealing our Wing Songs, and max
ing such changes and alterations in them as will
make them gingle with the names of their Free
Trade, Texas, and Dsunion Candidates for the
Presidency and Vice Presidency.
Who could have thought that these moral, digni-
fed, and decency- loving "a Democrats would have
ever attempted to publish an original Song (be-
side pilfering Wing song.) in praise of Polk and
Dallas, after having lately and loudly denounced
the Wings for publishing and singing Songs APP
psuding Clay and Frenghuyseni But we must
inform readers that such i, the fact. Nearly
every Loco Foco paper we now open contains one
or more Polk and Dalas Songs-most OF which
are downright plagarisms. For instance, that
fas,idious old gentleman, the Editor of the Rich
mond Enquirer, the leading Polk, Texas, and Dis
union organ in this State, and who was among the
FIST to denominste Wing Songs as mummeries, y
"disgraceful buiiooneries," "miserable doggerel,'
"vilest Ethiopian compositions" &c., &c, few
weeks since had the impotence to pfer, and with
a slight alteration, publish a Wing Song. by the
Hon. +. James, entitled-' A Blast from the Blu
