EXPLOITATION OF WOMEN TO VIRGINIA IN
l62O.--"The enterprising colonlsts," says
Holmes "being generally destitute oil iaml-
lies, Sir Edward Sandys, the treasurer,
proposed to the Virginia company TO
send over wives for the planters, The
proposal was applauded, and ninety girls,
!young and uncorrupt,' were sent over IN
the ships that arrived this year, and the
year following sixty more, handsome and
we'll recommended to the company for
their yirtuous education and demeanor.
The price of wife, at first, was one
hundred pounds of tobacco--but as the
number became scarce, the price was m
creased to one hundred and fifty pounds,
the value of which, in money, was three
shillings per pound. This debt for wives
it was, ordered, should have the preceoeh-
cy of other debts, and be first recovere,
ble." Anoh her writer says that III "ouiu

gallant young Virginians Fastening 70

London, each carrying q bundle OF me

The next morning, as Carlo came forth
from his apartments, in the palace OF his
father, he found course cloak, pinned
with dagger, against the outer door.

MR EDIToR,-I have noticed for some time past that the Editor of the 'sGazette,' y and other kindred spirits have labored, and are still laboring hard to convince their readers, that HENRY CLAY is an honest politician; with but one set of opinions for all latitudes, Sc. l propose in this number to give such evidence of his consistency, and the consistency of his wire-workers, on the subject of the TARIFF, as have been able to collect.

 The Editor of the Gazette, in his paper of the 20th December, 1S43, under the editorial head, says that .Mr. Clay is the ''champion and father of protection; and charges Mir. Van Buren, with being an out and out "Free 1rade man." Now let us examine the tes- timony and facts, and see how far they go to sustain the assertions of this ''champion'' of fClay-coonism in Arkansas, who hypocritic- ally contrasts the principles of the Whig and Democratic parties, upon the subject of the Tariff.
 It is time this falsifcation was fully eX- posed, and it's authors exhibited in their true colors The deception has been allowed to 20 on long enough The matter must be sci right before the people. They demand the TRUTH. Demagogues are seeking to suppress it; Democrats should make it known; l, therefore, for that purpose present the follow ing facts. They are taken from authentic sources and cannot be controverted

That law imposes duties O from 50 to 600 per cent. on many articles o necessitv-such as cannot be dispensed WILL by the people. For instance, on the ya.ion' qualities of iron, there is a duty ol from 4! to 112 per cent; upon glassware of from lot to 600 per cent; upon sugars, moiasseh a'ie salt, of from 50 to 100 per cent; upon cot ton goods of from 100 to l5O per cent. &e Now these high duties amount to proelot ton of importation of the articles named, an' secure monopoly of the naarket to Inc hom manJacturer Foreign competition in thos' articles cannot exist, and thus the manuiae turers of New England gre enabled to exae their own prices for the goods; and they ar not slow in improving the opportunity.

THE NOMINATIONS.
THE VOICE OF THE PRESS.


 GLORIOUS GATHERING OF THE nEMoCRA- oY.-On Tuesday evening last, the democrats of Allegheny county assembled in mass meet. ing to respond to the nominations of tine Balti- more convention. After the season of doubt. uncertainty and occasional despondency through which we have passed, it was most cheerful and refreshing to see the crowds of republicans who were at the place of meet ing, eager to give Ill their adhesion to, and record their hearty confirmation of the de- clslon ol the great council at Baltimore It was no empty, formal, matter-of-conrse piece of business they wished to perform--it was not mere party machinery which brought them together; but every man seemed ani- mated with a generous, glowing zeal, and n- trepld but cool, temperate, but mdomitablal determination to sustain the glorious princiz pies of democracy. The old pillars of the party, the men who for forty years have sus- talned with unflnching energy it's nomiHa- lions and its measures, and those who have but recently cut loose from the debasing in- l fluenee of federalism, were alike ferYent and enthusiastic.
 We shall not go into any details of the proeeedlngs-they are given at length in an other column-but merely note that Mir. Skunk presided, assisted by the usual num- Der of vice-presidents and secretaries, and that the meeting was addressed by various speakers whose remarks, like every thing else about the whole affair, were all emphat- ically-good!
 The whigs of this city stand perfectly aghast at this PiHs6ug Morning Post.
 A better selection of candidates could noi have been made. Not | democrat will be found who will not pronounce it u judicious choice, and respond heartily to the nomina- tion We shall, before we issue another paper, know whether or not they accept Il they do, up will go to our masthead the names of James K. Polk, Of Tennessee, for President, and George NJ. Dallas, of Penn. sylvania, for Vice President. Fighting, then under the banner of Polk and Dallas, no forgetting the great principles of the demo- cracy, we shall achieve glorious victory over the coons, and add the .Texian star to the star-spangled banner
 ". c. Repu5licaa.
 The opinions of the press are pouring il upon Us, and we are happy to inform ou democratic friends i'll this region, that tht nomination of Polk and Dallas is received with great cordiaity, by the friends of Gal. houn, Cass, Van Buren, Johnson, Buchanan Sc. The work goes bravely on. On the glorious result of the Baltimore convention we congratulate all our friends. Let the battle cry be Polk, Dallas, and democracy.
 Lynch1urg Republican.
 The crisis is past-the country is saved The democratic party, which, when firmly ant zealously united, never has been, and neve can be, defeated-is, indeed, united ono, more to man. The nomination of thii convention has already acted like charm Such union exists already in the party. a has not existed since 1t was led by that glo rous old hero, Andrew Jackson. The de mocralic party presents one solid unbrokel front, and victory is certain.
