the guard, and the first object which caught my
sight was Col. s., OF the Statesman, with flag
in hand, waving, and shouting at the top Of his
voice for Harry OF the West" A goodIy num-
Der Of persons were on the bank, large por-

reached the shore, such a shout, waving OF flags,
handkerchiefs, &C., as was witnessed, is not to
be met with every day, in a new country We
stad at ROcheport but long enough to take aboard
the delegates who were waiting; we then stopped
a few moments at Nashville for alike purpose,
and arrived here as above. A procession was
formed, and by the light OF the moon" (which
was shining silver bright" we marched through
the town, and up to the Capitol; arrived at the
State House, The procession came to halt in

Band played Hail Columbia. and a round Of

during the run from Rocheport 10 this place, the
delegates were addressed by Messrs. Srapp, Of
Boonvile, Bell Of Brunswick and Swi.zIer of
Columbia, in short, but eloquent speeches. The

''more than considerable" indignation at the

AMERICAN ToBAcco.-The Boston Atlas
states that just previous to the departure OF
the Hlbernia, a meeting OF the English board
Of trade took place, upon the subject Of the
commercial convention recently concluded
between the Customs Union Of Germany
and the United States, at which report
states that the British cabinet came to the
determination to make considerable re.
duc.ion on the duties Of American tobacco
1t is also stated, in well informed quarters.
that France would adopt the same resolu.
ton.
The present duty imposed on American
tobacco in England is twcire hundrcd pe,,
cent! In France the trade in tobacco is
government monopoly, producing an enor.
nous revenue. Both England and France.
therefore, may make immense reductions,
and yet leave American tobacco subject to
oppressive import dutles.~-.N~w Era.

" You tickle me, and pu tickle vou."

The Patriot quotes Joseph Poland to prove
that southern wings are not in favor Of protection,
and 10 on the other hand goes hand in hand with
the Patriot in declaring that Clay is about as much
for annexation as Polk is 1t would be decided
improvement for the Patriot to buy out 10. Why
have two organs to grind out the same music!-
And then in a case like this, where there must ne
cessarly be so much wear and tear of conscience
to sustain mistaken positions, would it not be
decided improvement for one man to do all the
dirty work, and let the other engage in more re-
spectacle business
The above dignifed article is from the Watch
man of last week, and is beautiful instance of
resortng to the expedient, practised among chill
dren frequently, of calling names when all other
arguments fail.
What is the evidently intended insinuation in
the above article? Clearly, that the Freeman and
Patriot are playing into each others hands. Now,
the editor of the Waterman knows that we never
have had any sympathy for the Patriot or the So
called democratic party; and from the very article
to which allusion is made above, the Waterman
might have quoted even a stronger testimony a
gainst the Democrats, then the Patriot quoted a
gainst the Wings: but this manly course would
not suit his Purpose. More could be made by APP
pealing to the party prejudices of people abroad,
where the truth is not known, and, by such mis-
representations, shake the confidence Of people in
the distinctive character and specific design of the
Liberty party. This is what we did not expect
from the editor of the Waterman. Should com
parative stranger treat us in this way we should
be instnctvely prompted to examine our hen
roos, or search our pockets, to what petty de-
predations had been committed. True, we oppose
the election of Henry Clay, and for reasons thai
we should think would induce any intelligent, es
peciaIIy every Christian man, to oppose him: the
Patriot also opposes Mr. Clay's election. 1t il
also true that the Patriot and Waterman botl
strenuously oppose the Liberty party. Should WE
therefore be justified in creating the impression a
broad that they were in teague'
We know that our friends of the Waterman are
very peculiarly situated, and the thousands tina
they draw annually from the State treasury nigh
justify them in going to the very verge of consc
cntiousness: still, were the alternative fairly pre-
scented, of continuing their government patronage
or of seeing realized the glorious objects Of the
Liberty party, of transforming one Sirth of oul
whole population from the condition of brute
beasts to that of rational, intelligent, accountable
beings, possessed of their own persons, their fam
lies, citizenship, and all their God-given rights
we must express our decided preference for tn,
!, latter. Perhaps it is owing to our prediction

For the Freeman.
lion, Solomon Foot,

invite the especial attention ofthe wings in the
First Congressional District to the following facts.
They are from two of the most respectable and
upright gentlemen in this district. The truth of
both may be relied on with the utmost confidence,
and if need be, can be established by oath in any
court of law. From Mr.. Foot's refusing or de-
cIining to vote against Mr.. Campbes wicked
resolve, denouncng all efforts the part of Con-
gress to take measures for the abolition of slavery
in the District of Columbia, after he had been
solemnly requested by the Legislature to do all in
his power to secure the object which that resolve
denounced, and from his attempts, since he came
home to silence inqurers into the cause Of this APP
parent violation of his Instructions, instead of Civ
ing satisfactory explanation Gf ne could give such
explanatory had, to some extent shaken my conf
dence in his integrity and led me to question the
propriety of his being again entrusted with the re-
sponsibllity ofa representative Of crmont, whenhe
seemed so little disposed or able, to face the slave
holders and to oppose slavery. But was not pre-
pared to regard him in the Objectionable, mot to say
degrading light in which these extracts show him.
The wings in this State, (multitudes of them at
east) have felt panied at the of thctr dele
gates in Congress, last winter, in relation to the
above named resolve. They forbore to complain,
because they doubted not that, on the return OF
the delegation, an ample and satisfactory explain
alton would be given to the public. This explain
alton the wing members owed to themselves and
to the party. Their enemies were taking great
advantage of it to the injury of the whlg cause
Aud how has this just expectation been met! On
Mr.. Foot's part the following extracts will show.
He is, it seems to carry his point by clustering
and threats to wiring the noses of those who eX-
pose and oppose him. This St. Clair, whom he
threatens, your readers well know to be third
party lecturer. He acted as chairman of com
mittee which reported resolves to convention
censuring Mr.. Foot's course in Washington on
Campbell's anti abolition resolution ST. CLAIR also
made speech, contrasting Mr.. Foot's course on
this subject with his excellent anti-savery speech
at the time of his nomination, and showing him up
| in ridiculous light. His threat to st. Clair,
however, is but trihe, compared with his muir
derous declaration in relation to Polk But to the
extracts. The first, as will be seen, is furnished

GE5- 1t is really amusing to hear certain arsto-
cratic high boods among us, who have hitherto
held the "nigger party" in the most supreme con
tempt, all at once terribly alarmed for the cause
of anti slavery, and attempting to teach abolition
lists more excellent way than to carly their prin-
cipes to the polls!-men who might even now be
taught the first principles of our enterprise from
an anti slavery almanac four gears old, and who
have no more conception of, or regard for, the
purely democratic principles and designs of the
Liberty party, than the most british hottento
has for the principles of reveal ed religion!
