DOUBLE.DEALlNG.

DOODLE. DEALlNO.
The locofoco press is continually charg.
ing upon the wings deception in reference
10 their measures, in order that they may
elect their favorite men. On this, as well
as other subjects, they misrepresent the
wings and charge them with doing exactly
what they are doing themselves, as will be
seen by the following:
From the Concord IN. H. Democrat, Jan. 3lst
"TnE PREsiDENcY-There seldom has been
greater unanimity OF expression in regard TO The
next presidential nomination, than now prevails
throughout the democratic party. Almost all
the Conventions, North, South, East and West,
send forth declarations for VAN buren,.
BE 1T REMEMBEREp-Tha HENRY CLAY,
the farmer OF Ashland, cultivates his fields by
SLAVE LABOR, that the sound OF the LASH
UPON THE BACKS OF WOMEN AND
CHILDREN is daily heard on his premises, ard
the toll and sweat OF his SLAVES enable him
10 pass his days and nights in one continued
scene Of GAMBLING AND DEBAUCHERY!!
KEEP 1T BEFORE THE FRIENDS OF HUMANITY
That Henry Clay, the Wing candidate for the
Presidency, is SLAVE HOLDER, BUYER AND
SELLER OF HIS FELLOW MEN, DEALER IN
FLESH AND BLOOD!
On the 18th inst, the following placard was
posted up in all parts OF this village:
"CLAY, THE STAKEHOLDER.
"His character will be discussed this evening
at the Court House, at half past 6.
| lie denied in 80 that colored people could
safely have their liberty in this country.
He is president OF Society for banishing
them as fast they get free.
He spread the curse Of Slavery over Missouri.
He inflicted perpetual slavery on Arkansas,
by a casting vote.
lie is for perpetuating it in the National CAPT.
tol.
He is against its abolition in Kentucky.
| He is the personal enSlarer-nldSter and tyrdnt
of so or so people.
The Concord Wings and Church members
have nominated him for President Of the United
States, and haze formed themselves into CLUB,
10 effect his election!
Let the people assemble this evening and
speak their sentiments on the outrageous act"
Agreeably to the invitation contained in it, a
great crowd OF Van Buren, men together with
some few Wings, convened in the Court Room.
The meeting having been organized, several
most nhamatory speeches were made, in which
Mr.. Clay was denounced as Pirate, the North
was arrayed against the South, appeals were
made to the pre- udces and sectional feelings OIL
the audience, and the Editor OF the Wing Paper
in this place, who happened to be present, in
suited in the grossest manner.
! The following resolution was introduced and
passed almost BY acclamatisn, (lhe few Wings
who were present having no participation in it
being there from curiosity.)
Resolved, That slaveholding is one OF the
darkest and most atrocous Of crimes and ought
to cover its perpetrators with a corresponding
infamy-that it is therefore with extreme regret
and disapprobation we have seen respectable
people OF the town OF Concord, joining with
members Of the proslavery church here, in nom
mating Henry Clay, a conspicuous and notorou:
Shareholder, to the highest office in the gift and
estimation Of the people,"
What does that sayl Is this Mr.. Van
Buren,, "the northern man with Southern
principles" With which party are the
abolitionists identified! Ought the People
of Missouri to support Mr.. Clay or Mr.
Van Ruren! Which one of these gentle
men We stood by and defended their in
terestsi These are questions which the
people Of this State should weigh well.
1t may be as we'll to remark that Mr.
Clay is one of the kindest of masters, a.
is well known by those who have liveo
neighbors to him. Many of his old neigh
bors are now living in this State, and car
and will stamp that charge with falsehood
