ANOTHER ELECTION EERING TALE
KNOCKED INTO KINGDOM-COME-
DISTRESSED AND WOFUL STATE OF
COONERY!
The following note from Hon. THOMAS L. HA-
MER, nips in tho bud an attempt of the federal
press to justify Clay's gambling propensities by
getting the idea abroad that Polk, too, is a card
player
For The Cineianaii Enquirer
Messrs EDITORS:
Some weeks since | was requested 10 deliver
an address to the democracy of Adams county,
Ohio; and in the course of my remarks, in an
swer to enquiries whether knew Governor
Polk personally, said, that had frequently re-
piled 10 that question, by saying knew him well,
hardly knew any body ese,-that had slepi
with him and played cards with him!-The OBJ
servaton was made like thousand others of Q
Iiocular character in stump speaking:
| to raise laugh! Ii was so understood by all
who heard it. At that time controversy was
going on in the ewspapers-whether Mr.. Clay
did or did not play cards, at present. 1t was
made in the midst Of my old friends and former
constituents scores of whom knew that ! had not
played cards, toith any body for tiDenty gears
And in the same speech said, achat is literally
true, that Gov Polk was a man of pure moral
character; addicted 10 no vces,--of eminent
tabilhy,-an able debater and as sound demo
Ecrat as ever lived
The editor of the West Union Intelligencer
Fl "a whig paper, was present, when this speocl
was delivered, and have no doubt understood
me, just as my political friends did, in reference
to Gov. Polk's playing cards,a thing neve
: knew him 10 do in my life. But the editor per
haps felt a ltle unkind towards me, on accoun
: of some remarks made about him, his pape
and his pary;-and by way of retaliation, tool
up my jocular remarks, and gravely printed
in his next number, by way of an accusation
against our candidate. Wings must be hare
run for charges, when they resort TO such pitt
full expedlents. 1t is from this publication, tha
the Cincinnati Gazette and other papers hav'
chosen to repeat the charge, and give me as au
: thority.
| wish you to give this line an insertion il
S your paper, that the calumny may find lis retu
ation; and will only add, that one of the strong
est inducements have. for zcalously and ardent
y supporting Gov. Polk, is, that duriug an init
mate acquaintance of six years with him, be
4 come thoroughly satisfied, that his character
r both public and private, was not only without
stain, but above suspicion.
Your ob't servant,
THO. L. HAMER.

Native Amcricanism-prOOf Of its

origin
We have hitherto expressed our belief that ma
tive Americanism was the offspring Of old feder-
alsm, and that the whig party cherished it with
all the love which their fathers bore for it.--For
this honest expression we have been denounced as
liar. We ground our assertion upon the follow
ing testimony:
The alien laws of the elder Adams;
The resolution of the Hartford convention;
The petitions presented by John @. Adams,
praying that the time before which man shoul d
be naturalized might be extended to twenty-one
years;
The declaration of Mr.. Archer, wing senator
from Virginia, that he would make every effort
to secure the passage of such law;
The charge of Horace Greedy, made in April
last, that the fact of the wings supporting the ma
tive American ticket would render the defeat OF
the whig ticket certain.
| We made the charge because
James Watson Webb said that Horace Gree
ley himself had voted the Native American tick
let;
Because William L. Stone, another whig editor
of New York, was a candidate for Office on the
native ticket:
Because Mr.. Clay endeavored to deprive for
Ieigners of prc-emption rights;
Because Colonel Jack, Levin, and others, who
addressed the native meeting in Philadelphia
Iprevious 10 the outbreaks which drenched the
streets of that city in the blood Of her citizens
; are personally known to ourself as wings, Jack
having been twice before the whig party OF his
district as candidate for congressional nom
nation;
Because 10000 wings in the city of N. Y. ro
ted the native ticket;
Because a whig member of Congress Mr.
Wethered, of Maryland) insulted Mr. Owen o.
Indiana, and told him he had no business TO speal
on the tariff question, because he was but natu
ralized citizen;
Because there is not one democratic Statesman
who has not expressed his utter adherence o
their measures;
Upon this testimony, for the truth of all whic
we pledge our honor, and the most of which GU
Iopponents DARE not deny, we ground our charge
1t is true; and if our statements be correct, wha
shall be thought of those who so wllfully persls
in fasehood and so malciously SANDER those VIII
are bold enough to speak the truth? We cha
lenge those who have branded us as liar to reat
the evidence we have cited before their club
Let them read the Hartford convention resolution
the alien law of the elder Adams, and compar
them with the projects OF the native American
Let them inquire what connection their leade
have with these movements, and we ask nothrn
more to convict them Of the very crime they haV
charged upon us.
And we do most distinctly and emphaticall
/ charge this Native Amercanism upon them.-
), To them it belongs, and upon the heads of th
whg leaders, in New York and Philadelphia
c must rest the awful consequences which ha,
i marked its inhuman progress.-Hardn Co. Ky

All local feeling isbanished, and they go into the

TO The Editor of the Franklin Democrat.

Gentlemen:--Wh Whereas, there is tale going
the rounds ofthe whig papers, asserting that the
grandfather of the Hon. James X. Polk, was
tory; now, this is to certify that was intimately
acquainted with Ezekiel Polk, the grandfather OF
James K. Polk, during the revolutionary war,
and that neither him nor any of hisrelations ever
had drop of tory blood in their veins; but on
the contrary, Ezekiel Polk was appointed to, and
held the office of Colonel Of the Militia, vacated
by the promotion of Thomas Polk to the office
otBrgader General. Any one who says or pub
fishes that Ezekiel Polk was tory, says OF pub
fishes that which is utterly false.

" Small Potatoes aud few in n HILL"
The last number Of the organ of Brotherson,

politics into private life, and who got up con-
spiracy in town to break down the Sentinel Es-

The leading conspirators must not expect US TO
notice the foul-mouthed blaekguards they hire TO
attack US through the stygian columns of their
putrid sheet. We can have no controversy with

as meat dSe-and the leading conspirators,
mo doubt, think that he has cut US into
sausage meat! We suppose BrOtherson and
was at steak, and hence he addressed to US two
columns of tender lines, TO- convince the public
that he is both liar and blackguard. The
whining British Tory says he never stopped the
Sentinel We wonder he was not afraid Of
heavens Lightning striking him dead with that
lie on his lips! Our carrier says, (and he is AT
honest boy, whose word we would take soonel
than LirtIeton's oath,) that Mrs. Hill told hin
that she had orders from her husband to have
the Sentinel stopped--that Mr.. I'LL wouldn'
give it house room-that he would kick it out o
his house, if it was left there any longer. Anc
here is a certificate from young man, whit
works for our friend VIM. Fry, which fully cor
