POLK AND BIRNEY.

Since our comments upon the statement of the
NJ Y. Tribune were in type, we have seen the
foll,,. lstter from Mr.. Birney to the editor Of
that paper II will be seen that the letter sub
stantially confirms the statements of the Tribune,
and warrants our comments Mr.. Brney denies
having given an opinion upon the general policy
Of the Locofocos, but does not deny having de-
clarcd against the Tariff He thinks that the
election Of Mr.. Clay would be more likely to
bring about annexation than that Of Mr.. Polk,
and hence, he being opposed to annexation, it is
fair to presume that he will prefer seeing Mr..
Polk elected, and this letter may be regarded as
a suggestion TO his friends to give their support
to Mr.. Polk. Mr.. Birney says he has not been
" officially" notified of his nomination by the Lo-
cofocos !; but the language Of his letter clearly
implies that he has had unofficial notice Of the
fact, and that he is pleased with the information.
We regard this letter full ratification Of the
bargain between the Locofocs party and Mr..
Birney:
LETTER FROM JAMES &. BIRNEY.
New York, Oct. 8, 1874.
To the Editor Of the Tribune:
Your paper of this morning contains state
ment which | wish to correct 1t is, that, on my
passage from Detroit to Buffalo, I "did net hesi-
tate to avo,c my preference for Mr.. Polk and for
the Locofoco policy generally"
On the occasion referred to gave no opinion
on the general policy of the Democratic party,
nor did Ispeak of any preference that | had, as
betw Mr. Clay aud Mr.. Polk, but spoke OF
them both, as Railways have done, as utterly OBJ
jectionable. In remarking on the danger of an
nexation, expressed the opinion that now re-
peat, that had but little fear of it should Mr..
Polk be elected, but good deal should Mr.. Clay
be elected. placed my fear on the grounds that
Mr.. Clay, as well as Mr.. Polk, had expressed
himself favorably to annexation, and that he could
and would lead his party, whilst Mr.. Polk was in
competent to lead his. considered Mr.. Clay as
the adroitest as we'll as the boldest, party tact-
clan we have, whilst Mr. Polk had shown no ex.
traordnary skill and had comparatively little ex-
perience in party management.
Ii i have been nominated for the Legislature of
Michigan by the Democrats of the county in yhich
/ reside, it has been since l left home. My rela-
ton to the liberty party and my incorporating
opposition TO both the other parties is as well un-
derstood there as elsewhere. If, then, have
been nominated by any portion Of my country.
men, it has been neither as Democrat nor as
Wing. But as | have received no official or au-
thortative notification Of such nomination, it
would be premature in me now to take any far
Their notice Of it. Respectfully, &c.

GOOD MORNING CAPTAIN TYLER.

GOOD MORNING CAPTAIN TYLER.
We wonder how His Accidency is pleased with
the news from Pennsylvania. Where are his
raor sANps Of friends in Philadelphia city and
Icounty Il, Where D. the renowned aud mighty
EaHAsuERcs, the young O'Connell of America !!
Where ie his powerful host of admirers and back
ers Where, oh sxhere, and what has become Of
the great Locofoco and Tyler coalition that was
about to upset the whole world Of Whiggery, Z
The Captain must feel delighted with the pre-
sent prospect of James X. Folks election in 1914,
and his own Nomination, in preference to Mr.. Cal
houn-his present tormenting rival--in ls45!
How beautifully the Captain can get along with
the great affairs Of State in the absence of Mr..
Calhoun! What caused the extraordinary con-
vention Of the Cabinet last Tuesday week! What
did the curious little Master Roberts Government
officehoder and editor Of the filthy Times at Bos
ton, write His Accidency about the fitting out of
steam vessels and munitions Of war for the Mex
lean service, in Boston and New York, that made
j, necessary for he Captain to order acorrespop-
dence with Mr.. Almonte, the Mexican Minister!
Was this correspondence the subject Of discussion
and action in the aforesaid Cabinet council If
so, who divulged the great secret? Ascertain,
most valiant Captain, and "oFr WITH HIS HEAD"
rather than be storming and cursing about the
matter! But who advocated the proposition to
seize the two Mexican steamers in question
Was il Mr.. Calhoun's friend, Judge Bibb, with all
his chancelloric lore and old law tropes and
figures at his tongues end! Orwas it that new
and later, though not very bright. Texas lumi-
nary, the amiable, anti-energetic, non-resisting
Governor Wckliffe, who makes, under bis solemn
oath of Office, the Government pay for his own
editorial pus, deences, and explanations, at rates
25 per cent above those Of ordinary advertising !?
Or was it the amiabe head of the War Depart
ment, Judge Wilkins, who franks disgusting ca
ricatures and miserable libels against Henry Clay
to people all over the country! Or was it Mr..
Mason or Mr.. Nelson .3'4. " te+
But no matter if Judge Bib was for the seiz-
ure, cannot the thing be done? Cannot the

coffee imported in Dutch bottoms to be REFUNDED.

wonder how the reported raise of four or five

A LOcoFoCO BRAGGER AND BETTOR.

Thore was a good joke passing around among
the politicians on Saturday. A man came into

that the money was to be sealed up and placed in
bank, and after the res0h Was known, stoy ba d.
rected tolthe winner Quite large number of
bets we're taken on theselcdn1 aoi,s. and the mo.
ney deposited. Towards night it gas discovered
that the genteman's money was dounterfeit, !and
on repleyyng the money in bank and breaking
the envelopes, it was found that the entire bells
were made with bills OF like character. Although
such descriptions of currency are good to bet on
elections, yet the parties should have an equal
chance. Buffalo Gazette u

CANDOR-MR. CLAY'S LET
TIERS TO BLAIR.

TIERS TO BLAIR.
Candor is virtue so rarely to be met with in
Locofoco newspaper, that we shall treasure up
with The utmost care every instance of its mani
ses,a,ion. The Madisonian, referring to the
standing, stereotype ca!umny against Mr.. Clay of
having made bargain with Mr.. Adams, at the
time Of giving his vote for him in the House of
Representatives, acknowledges the falsity of the
charge in the following language
1--WE are not among those who ever believed
that bargain was actually arranged between
Mr. Clay and Mr.. Adams, whereby the former
should be rewarded in the event of his causing
the latter, by the votes he controlled, to be ele-
waited to the Presidential chair. We should have
as soon believed that bargain had been entered
rto between Mr.. Jefferson and Mr.. Adams, be-
fore the latter became an informer against his old
Federal associates, and denounced them as con.
spring to dissolve the Union. Nevertheless,
Mr.. Adams some time thereafter, received the
appointment, at the hands Of Mr.. Jefferson, Of
Minister to Russia. The votes which Mr.. Clay
controlled elected Mr.. Adams to the Presidency
Mr.. Adams appointed Mr. Clay his Secretary Of
State soon thereafter! ~s#
awhile the letters furnish no evidence Of bar
gain and corruption" in the existence of which
we have said zoe neuer gave evidence, they do, in
our opinion, furnish abundant evidence that the
action Of Mr.. Clay, in casting the votes of his
friends for Mr.. Adams, was Influenced by both
ambitious and selfish motives, which were to be
realized in the accomplishment of the kind wishes
of his friends towards him."
Here is frank confession that the story of the
bargain is falsehood, and yet the party with
which the Madisonian. is allied manufactured and
now industriously propagates that falsehood. The
Madisonan, it will be seen, attributes sinister
motives to Mr.. Clay in casting his vote for Mr..
Adams but it is so customary for politicians to
attribute such motives to their opponents, that
we lei it pass for what it is worth.
We may. ask, however, whether Mr.. Clay did
not, in the letters in question: give good and sat
isfactory reasons, such as ought to operate upon
the mind Of patriot, for preferrng Mr.. Adams
to General Jackson, to either Of his opponents.
Mr.. Crawford, who was supported by the Vir-
gInla politicians, known to be in feeble health,
which would have disqualified him for the high
and responsible office. General Jackson was, as
Mr.. Clay alleged, and as the event has proven,
unfit, from the want of necessary knowledge Of
political science, as we'll as from temperament,
to be the President Of a free republican people.
His only Recommendation was the killing some
$500 Englishmen and few hundred Indians,
which Mr.. Clay Justly thought wore qualifications
