Of defeating Mir. Polk We had seen the iaie

man last evening. who left Philadelphia on Wed,
n,slay mo,ning-and who asked US if there couio
be any foundation for such sory-that ne heafa
some Of the Wings of Philadelphia, express
4 hone lhat the Electors OF New fork would mol
vote Tor Polk, but for some other Republican, and
Thus the election would be transferred 10 tne
House, where in rough roll and tumoie, Mt
Polk might be defeated, and The inVinciole Mr'
CLAY might. bv hook or by crook, carry oil ihe
m,ior;,y of the States. and obtain the mantle. 1t
would be paving indeed bul poor compliment 10
Mr. Clay himself, 10 suppose that he would ac-
cent of the office upon such terms, knowing, as
he certainly would, that the majority OF the peo-
nile Ill! not intend 10 elect bin. We should be
paving as poor compliment TO the Wing mem
berrs of Congress TO suppose, that they would CO.
orera,e in so disgracefll trick, and il would be
as little honorable 10 The great body OF the Wings
10 conceive that they would be capable OF
rectnnmending OF of jusiying SO fiaSrant an
outrage. But if any Of the Wings were proli-
gate enough 10 be capable oil such rascaity, If is
an infamous supposition, that one oil the Electors
of New York would be guilty OF this fiaSltlous
lreacherv. Does any man believe that any OF
The distinguished citizens OF New York would
degrade themselves By accepting the vote Of the
New York Electors? It is idle, all. 1t is worse
than idle. 1t displays an indifference 10 honor, a
reckleSsncss of purpose, or unhallowed devotion
to the vi!est excuses Of faction, in those Wing
presses which would name such profligate de-
sign without reprcbating it in the most indignant
terms.
But these are all trash. They bespeak des-
peralion on the rart of their authors, which is
next door TO insanity ITSELF No, no, gentlemen.
Mr.. Polk is destined 10 be the next President OF
the United States Nothing can save You from
his Administration, but same plan Of abduction,
which shall end in his kidnapping his person.
We advise you, therefore, 10 sci to work directly,
10 toim your plan, prepare your agents. and seek
10 execute your desperate purposes. Mr.. James
X. Polk must be the President.
Though this District gave majority of about
200 for f. Clay, it does not follow that il Supposed
10 John w Jones as its Representative. The
Whig will recollect, that while the polls were
kept open three DAYS in the Gibraltar Of Wing
gerry and the Wing county OF Henrico, our
friends in the Democratic county Of Chesterfield
failed TO continue the election there, though that
county is without precincts. By this oversight,
il is said, we lost 100 votes. Again, the Wings
made unusual cyeHions 10 carry "my native coun-
~" Of Hanover, and succeeded BY the large ma
loritv Of Is. We IRE assured, that the Wing can
dida,c for Congress will receive nothing like that
large vote in the county OF the Slashcs." We
already hear of many in this region, who repent
of their late Federal votes, and who will he found
henceioHh ''righ, side up Under all these cir
cumsances, we are far from believing that Mr..
Jones can IL beaten in The Spring. Indeed we
learn that some Wings are ready TO hack their
Judgment By betting that Mr.. Jones will lead by
200, Mr.. Bolts, who, il is presumed, will be the
resularly-nominaled Wing candidate. Ii some
of the Wings, then, consider his chances the best
how can Mr.. Jones think Tor moment that he
misrepresens The wishes of his district? But
above all, we are under 'hc impression that Mr..
Jones, who is Speaker has no rO'c except in case
Of tic, and that will hardly arise in the present
Democratic Congress. OF course, then, the inle-
rests ofths Dislric, (were il Whig) would not be
affected BY any action OF Mr.. Jones' in the thee
months 10 rome The case of the members of The
Virginia Legislature is very different. They will
I've called upon 10 elect Senator Of The U. States
this winter, 10 represent the sovereignty Of The
whole State Of Virginia. The State has voted for
The Republican ickel By near 1000 majority. and
a handsome majority of,he counties have, b. de-
cided votes expressed their sentiments The same
way. Would, it then, be fair or just, that De-
mocratic State should be misreprescnted for six
years By Federal SENATOR We ask only wha,
is right
But suppose Mr. Jones should resign. Would
The Wing guarantee that Messfs. Summers and
Goggin should follow his example, "What is
sauce" &c.
And, abore all. 1ciA o1ssr,. Archer and Risys
resign? If the Wing will vouch that they will,
we venture 10 promise, on behalfof J. w Jones,
that he will at once throw up his Office OF Repre-
sentative and Speaker.
