GEN LESLIE COOMBo Al ALBANY.
The Wing rally at Albany to hear and welcome
Gen. Combs, of Kentucky, was (says the Citizen)
one of the most numerous, spirited, and enthu-
siasic meetings held in that city, from whose
report of it we make The following extract:
'"The concluding portion of Mr.. C.'s address
was devoted to an eloquent and triumphant VIM
dication OF Henry Clay against the sandcrous
and malignant assaults of his enemies. He spoke
of Mr. Clay's social virtues of his private worth ;
of the universal regard and respect entertained
for him by his neighbors in Kentucky, of all po-
litical parties; and of his long, faithful, distn-
guished, and devoted public services. Il remem-
Der him. said Gen. c., during the last war, and
| remember, as if it were but yesterday, the ef-
feet of his trumpet-tongued appeal to the people
Of Kentucky and of the Union, to rally to the
defence of our seamens rights against British OPP
preston. | remember the power and the eo-
quence with which he combatted and demolished
Great Britain's pretended right of search and i'm
pressment, proclaming in language that lives in
the memory of every American, "the colors that
float from the masthead should be The credentials
of our seamen" 81 remember, too, said Gen. c..
| when | lay prisoner, bound and bleeding, on
board of British shp-of-war, the glowing of hope
with which | hailed Henry Clay's declaration,
" War, ,oar TO the knife, till euery American cap
proceeding in this strain, Gen Combs went
on to show how eminent were the services rem
dered by Henry Clay during the last war; the
honorable part which he bore in negotiating the
treaty of peace his earnest and eloquent advo-
cacy of the claims of the oppressed in all lands /;
his thorough whole-souled devotion to the inte-
rests of his country; and, above ALL his untIring
and unfalterng championship Of the great doc
trne of protection to American labor. After
dwelling with great effect upon these points for
some time, Gen. G. said he would close his re-
marks with single suggestion to the Wings Of
New York. He remembered, at the battle Of
Tippecanoe, when the left wing was faltering,
and seemed about to give way, under the impress
sion that Gen. Harrison had been shot, that the
voice of the General himself was heard above the
dim of arms, proclaiming Stand 10 your arms,
my boys. Neuer giue ,0ay. One charge more,
and victory is certain!r So say l., continued
Gen. c., TO the gallant Wings Of New York,
" Stand to your arms, my boys. Neuer give ,oay.
One charge more, and victory is certain!"'
"A roar of applause burst from the audience
as Gen. Coombs ceased speaking, and for min
ute or two after he left the stand round after
round of the most enthusiastic cheering we ever
heard testified to the effect produced by his able,
eloquent, and spirit-stirring address,"

THE GLOBE AND MR.. TYLER.

The Globe gives His Accidency, we under
stand, a great deal OF offence, by hitting him go
often as it does those unmerciful pokes under the
fifth rib and at the same time delicately asking
after his political health. We learn that the ar
ticle in Monday evenings Globe, on the subject
of annexation, giving Houston's letter to Jackson,
&C., and which blows up Mr.. Tyler and his cabi-
net for "givng President Houston pledge for a
vote of two-thrds of the Senate, and throwing the
treaty head foremost into that body, without a
solitary member of it having authorized the
pledge" has set His Accidency into perfect
rage, and that he believes now, more than ever,
that the Madsonian will soon supplant the Globe
in the affections of the Polk -ocracy and become
the organ of the party per Sc. John Jones and
R. M. w. believe it too
The Globes article ought to make little SEN
ator Walker dance raging hornpipe as we'll as
His Accidency; but it does not. The little gen.
tleman seems to be as calm as a summer morn
ing. Probably he thinks it was no harm to de-
ceive such deceirer as John Tyler

TYLERISM IN VERMONT.

Where is the Tyler strength in Vermont, as
Didn't Mr.. Haswell, Tyler Locofoco editor of
Vermont-lately rewarded with $l,40O office
in the Treasury Department-make flourishing
publication in the Globe few weeks since about
how he was going home to Vermont, both in Sep
TENDER and November, to vote the Democratic"
ticket! And has not Locofocosm, since its CO.
ation with Tylerism, fallen off about one thou
sand votes in Vermont! This Mr.. Haswell, with
his Tyler strength in Vermont, will answer as
foreshadowing of what Tylerism will add to Lo-
cofocoism in other States. In Maine, we believe,
it is not claimed that there is any Tylersm.

ESSAYS OF THE MIGHTY MIND"

We zee that great many "questons OF vera
city" are arising out of the disputes of the press
as to the authorship of the essays we are repub-
fishing from the Madisonian of 1912 We have
enveloped and sealed the MSS. of the essays in
question, and placed them in the hands of third
person, who WILL provided all the parties interest
ed shall acquiesce in it, exhibit them to such gen.
tlemen as may really be in search Of the truth
Madisonian of last evening.
The editor of the Madsonian has been patter-
ing and playing tom fool long enough about these
Essays of the Mighty Mind" He has insin-
uated again and again that they were written by
DANIEL WEBSTER; as if that gentleman would
condescend to be the editor Qor they appeared
as eGitorials) of the silly Madisonan
Nobody will dispute the correctness of the edi-
tors voluntary confession, that he does not write
his own editorials-for it is already charged (and
not yet denied that for inserting and fathering
many of them, Uritten in the Post Office Depart
ment, as defences of Mr.. Wicklife, &C., he has
been paid out Of the peoples money, and by direc-
ton Of Mr.. Wicklffe himself, (pure, honest, up
right man, twenty-five per centum above the or
binary advertising charges on account of the bad
ness of the handwriting in which they were sent
to the Madisonian Office. We wonder if the
editor wishes it to be understood that he charged
and received the same pay, out Of The peoples mo-
ney, for inserting and fatherng the Essays of the
Mighty Mind" in question? We wonder, too,
how he was paid for inserting and fathering Mas
ter Bob's long and highly inflated editorials, last
winter.
AS for the Essays in question, if Mr.. Webster
did not write them, and the editor knows he did
not, what measure Of scorn and contempt ought
an upright community to visit upon the latter per-
sonage, silly as he may be said to be, for his in
uendoes and insinuations? And that Mr.. Web
ster did not write them we have these facts, to
wit: Mr. March, who was formerly, in -43
the associate editor of the Madisonan, is now the
associate editor of the Boston Courier, and he
says he happens to know that Mr.. Webster did
not write the Essays in question Now let the
editor of the Madsonian speak out.

MISSOURI.
Extract of letter to the editor, dated

MARSHALL, NllSsouTl, aug. IL, IO44.
DEAR SIR: You have heard before
this of the result Of our State elections. We
have clear gain in the lower b.anch Of the Le-
gislature of 90 Wing members; while Horse
Allen, who did not receive the Wing vote by 2
or 5000 votes, is not beaten more than 5000 for
Governor. 1t is the impression of those who
have long watched the political tide in our State,
that we can give her vote to Clay at the Novem-
Der election. The Wings are in better spirits
than they have ever been, and are looking with
ardent hopes to the political regeneration of our
whole country.
The spirit of 40 was tame, compared with
that of IA then, few equitable masses, sent
feeble Pickering light into the darkness which
surrounded them. Noao, every hamlet and vii
lage is lighted up, with steady, bright, gloom
dispelling radiance, upon which the eyes of Loco
focos, long accustomed to darkness, cannot look ;
and, from which, like the wretch around whose
head the dazzling lighting of the heavens is play
ing, they endeavor, in vain, to screen themselves
The Texas question, that greatest of all hum
bugs, has entirely exploded. have not yet seen
the first Wing, land have seen thousands who
regards it even as feather, in the weighty issues
which have been long made up between the
parties and, indeed, it is matter about which
the most entire Indifference is felt. The TARIFF,
Bank, Distribution, One Term, &c, are the ques-
tons which make Wings in Missouri.

A RICHLY MERITED COMPLIMENT.

We find in the Cahawba (Ala.) Free Press the
following resolution, passed by the Clay Club of
that place in reference to the nntiring labors of
the Hon. Willis Green, of Kentucky, in the dis
sem'naton of political information throughout the
country He richly merits the thanks of every
wing in the Union for his devotion to the cause.
ResolUed, That the thanks of the Clay Club of
Cahawba be given to the Hon. Willis Green, for
his untlrlng iabors in the cause and that he is
especially entitled to our thanks for his kind at
tentlon IN furnishing this Club from time to time
with valuable, and, in this region, much needed
information, respecting the operations of the tariff
Of 1872 as well as other political topics Of the
day.

MAINE ELECTION.

The news from Maine by this mornings mail
Is not SO favorable was hoped for by our friends
in that State. The returns SO far from York and
Cumberland. strong Locofoco counties, show an
increased majority for them, compared with the
vote of l040, and decrease compared with
that of ls43 1t is highly probable that Ander-
son, the Locofoco candidate, is elected over both
the other tickets.
The Boston Courier of Tuesday says, the re-
turns from Maine are not so favorable as we
hoped, Cumberland district has elected Dunlap
by majority of about 700; and in the York dis
trlct always Locofoco] there is no choice. We
had report in Portland last night that there had
been great gains for the Wings in Kennebec and
Lincoln counties. 1t is so to be hoped We hear
from one town in Lincoln (Thomaston) which
gives the Locofocos 300 majority. In the city of
Portland the Wing ticket for representatives
has from 60 to 80 plurality over the Locos. This
result does not differ materially from the first
trial last year,
The Boston Post has received letter from
Thomaston, stating that the Locofoco majority
there is 33l; in St. George the Locofoco MAORI
ty is 275; in Gushing 90; in Friendship 100; in
Warren $50. These five towns are in Lincoln
county. The Post compares them with 1910,
and shows Locofoco gain Of 269."
The Locofoco papers claim the election of
their candidate for Governor by or 5000 over
the Wings, and from to 5000 over all. y.

servants.

Whereupon the following preamble and reso-
| lutons were unanimously agreed to, as the de-
clared sentiments of the meeting:
| We profess to belong to the Democratic party,
and we cherish the principles of that party, as
taught to us in the lessons of our youth and the
reflections and practices of our more mature wears:
we cherish them as sure safeguards of our repub
lican institutions, and certain guarantee of DO.
litical freedom-we cherish them, more especially.
because they are the true and only system by
which practical effect is given to the opinions.
wishes, and interests of the people. Our init
mate connection, and long habits of association
with the members of that party, cause us to look
with most unfeigned regret upon the false posi-
ton IN which it is placed. To maintain tariff
tor the protection of American industry is at this
moment the most interesting and desirable prn
ciple which occupies the minds of the people of
Pennsylvania, and it is the almost universal de-
sire and wish of the Democratic party to support
and maintain it; and yet accident or perhaps de-
sign has thrown us into the false position of being
obliged to abandon principles or vote for a
man for the highest Office in the government who
is directly opposed to the hopes, wishes, and in
terests of the Democratic party. We are deter
mined that we will do neither In taking the i'm
portant step which we are about to do it is re-
spectful to our Democratic friends with whom we
have heretofore acted, that we should declare the
reasons which Impel us to this course
we look upon permanent and protective tariff,
one which will give security to free American
labor against the influence of British pauper la
Dor, and the ingenuity with which il is used by
the English Government to break down our aeri-
cultural and manufacturing capital, as the most
important political interest which the people of
Pennsylvania now have, and one which is advo-
Gated by nine-tenths of the Democratic journals
of the State. The Hon. James K Polk, the can
didate of the party, has declined to answer our
respectful inquiry upon this subject, from which
our worst fears with regard to his opinions have
been realized The declarations from his own
mouth are stronger proof to us of the opinions of
Mr.. Polk, than the declarations of designing men
who would gain our votes, secure their Offices,
and sacrifice us.
Gan we as Pennsylvanians, can we as Demo-
Gratis, support the man who is thus hostile to all
our views, all our principles What can we
hope from an administration such as his would
be? The hand of destruction would be laid upon
us, and we would again be brought to the foot
stool of British influence and power, and live bv
the labor Of British hands We can not, we will
not sacrifice all we hold dear on earth to main
tain the pride OF party name Therefore,
tesolued, That we can not support the election
OF James Il. Polk to the Presidency of the United
States, because he is opposed to tariff of pro-
lection. Is 9gallsao3 S'.l, a3..
RESOLVED, That we feel the most earnest de.

vailed, and Mr.. Stratton received the nomination
on the first ballot.
After the business of the Convention was con-

bers assembled in front of the State House, and
were addressed by Gen. Leslie Coombs in one of
the happiest and most effective speeches of the
season. His speech was received with thunders
of applause. Mr.. Stratton, the nominee, was in
troduced to the meeting by Hon. Mr.. Duer, Of
Morristown, and in brief and pertinent manner
acknowledged the honor which had been conferred
upon him.
