TO MY OLD DEMOCRATIC FRIENDS
AT TAMMANY HALL


AT TAMMANY HALL.
The Baltimore Convention, called to
ratify the choice Of the great Democratic
party through the United States, has aban-
doned Martin Van Buren, and nominated
James X. Polk of Tennessee. The dele.
gates have violated their Instructions and
disregarded the express wishes Of the
people, and you will now be called upon
under the name ofthe party and its usages
TO ratify the nomination and use every
honorable effor: to elect the candidate
presented for our suffrages. Before we
rally the rank and file of the party and
bring up the faithful phalanx which has
been always true 10 the country in its
darkest days, let us look at the circum-
stances and the manner through which
and by which this nomination has been
brought about, and the strongest, the most
able and the most faithful man Of The party
has been abandoned. We haze been sold
for Teras. The office Of President Of The
United States has been put up by southern
Dem ocrats at auction, and the highest
bidder for immediate annexation has re-
ceived the nomination.
Martin Van Buren's letter on the sub
iect-the most able and the most patri-
otto paper he ever wrofe--was not salts
factory to our Southern friends. He was
in favor of annexing Texas to the Union
if it was the will and wishes of the people,
and if that important measure could be
carried into effect without compromising
the peace and honor of the country. l
ask you, friends and fellow citizens, if
you are willing to receive Texas into
abe coufederacy under any other terms :
1t was determined at an early period by
certain members of Congress to make an
nexstion the cardinal and leading question

SAULT DE STE. MARIE CANAL

SAULT DE STE: MARIE CANAL.
Upon the motion of Dir TAPPAN to re-
commit the bill authorizing the opening of
a canal around the Falls of Sault s.. Ma
rie, with instructions so to amend it rs to
make the canal a State work, and 10 grant
to the State of Michigan public lands suf
ficient to complete it:
Mr. Woodbridge said: That as a citi-
zen of Michigan, and with reference TO
the interest and the honor of that State a.
lone, he approved entirely of the position
of the honorable Senator from Ohio. He
had long been of the opinion that Michi-
gan should assume If as her State work.
And if the troops ofthis National Govern
ment had not, with violence and with a
strong hand, driven from the site Of the
work some fifty or more workmen, with
their axes, spades, and maitocks, who
were employed under the authority of the
State to 60 on with that work, it would
before this time have been finished, or
nearly so; for the State engineers had
been there and marked out the work. /,
had been adopted by the State as part oil
its system; large appropriations had been
made, and contracts for completing il re.
gularly entered into. And if ever indigni.
ty had been committed upon the honor
and the rights of State of this Union, i
ha6 been on that occasion. As citizen
of Michigan. then, hervoud of choice
persist in considering this as State work
and in advocating such a course he
should only be adopting the same policy
which had been pursued by New York
Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois. But, what
soever his wishes might lead him to de
sire as citizen of Michigan alone, he fell
himself constrained, as a citizen of the U.
States. and especially as member of this
body, to look to other and more enlarged
considerations. And he could not hest
tate TO advance the opinion not only thai
this Congress, in the legitimate exercise
of its powers, was fully competent to IN
dertake this work, but that it was its in,-
perative duty to consummate it. The
powers of this General Government { to
provide for the general defence are am.
pie and undoubted its powers to 'regu-
late the national commerce are also ple-
nary. They each draw after them COR
relative obligation to exercise them effect
ually; and in reference to either class OF
these powers, this, as a great national
work, strongly commonds itself. Sir,

LOCO FOCO HONESTY.

The Locofoco papers all over the
country, finding they cannot bring any
thing against Mr.. Clay as Statesman,
are determined TO prejudice the minds of
the people against him by sIandering his
character. The following is specimen:
"Go home Cd d--n you, where you
belong %
The Locofoco papers, with full knowI-
edge of its falsehood say that Henry Clay
addressed the language above quoted to
James X. Polk in the House of Repre-
sentaiives while the latter was Speaker
in that body. The Locofoco editors ought
to. and we balieve they do. know that
while Mr.. Polk was Speaker of the
House. Henry Clay was member of the
Senate, and had nothing to do with the
House. II is true that such language
pas used towards Mr.. Polk willie Speak
er of the House on account of his deci-
sion in matter of contested election
and by whom? Not by Henry Clay,
but by c.. c. Clay, bitter LocoFoco
from Alabama. This profanity has been
maliciously attributed TO Henry Clay by
Locofoco papers n'this region and we do
not think they will retract the foul SIAN
der, as they no doubt Think base lie well
stuck TO will serve their purpose better

prisee if they should repeat it in the

LIES.
We are again in common with the CT
tizsns Of Harrisburg generally. indebted
to our Locofoco friends for one of the
richest political scenes they have yet pro-
duced since their fourth of March Con-
ventIon. 1t was as good, nay much bet>
fer than play! A commingTing of the
melo. dramatic with the farcical, an exhi-
bition of the sublime and the ridiculous, a
great outporing Of the " democracy" and
an out kicking of some of its more refrac.
tory members.
The exquisite performance thus briefly
limited at, took place in the court house
in this borough on Tuesday evening last,
and the occasion which called il forth was
a meeting to respond TO the nomination of
Polk and Dallas. When we entered the
hall, Col. McCahen, of Philadelphia, was
entertaining the audience with one of
those ranting specimens of eloquence
which might justly be characterized as
- fine sample, on the whole,
Of rhet oric which the learned call rigmdrole."
He harangued until he was hoarse but
said not word about the tariff, or the
principles of the Locofoco party general
ly, and Mr.: Polk in particular.
After he had concluded, the committee
appointed for the purpose reported long
string of resolutions. in which the party.
as usual, avowed itself opposed to every
salutary measure, and favorable to every
