MIR, Birney and his man
Charles

Notwithstanding the press of the Lib
erty party has for months been literally
teeming with the most foul and black
hearted falsehood, in relation to the moral
character of Henry Clay they are COM
pletely struck aghast at the true statement
made a short time since by the Wing
press in reference to the hypocrisy of Mr..
Birney's Abolition professions. as exempli-
fed in the "sale of Charles after his
sudden conversion to the cause Their
attempts however, to throw off this impu-
tation from the character Of their chosen
leader, has not only proved abortive, but
has seemed to fasten the charge still stron-
ger upon him. To many this charge
was a matter of great surprise and Won
derment. To others, it was not so. We
never wanted any better evidence of the
utter heartlessness and hypocrisy of this
immaculate MIR Birney, than has been
by himselfexhibited, since his nomination
to the highest Office IN the world, in his
continued and open assaults upon the
character of John Quincy Adams. 1t
has, and euen since his nomination, been
the invarable habit of this man, in his
letters and speeches, to assail the char
acter and ridicule the claims Of the odd
Man Eloquent to the love. admiration
and esteem of the people of this country.
"To Abolitionism," says Mr. Birney, sis
John Quincy Adams in debt to his pres
ent popularity" then, by pulling out
the Key Stone which supports him there,
he would render him in the eyes of all,
the, weak and whimsical Old Man, which
it has been the constant..aim of Mr.. Birney
to make him. The same influence that
he says 'obscured his moral vision when
he sold Charles after his conversion to
abolitionism, is in our view still operating
upon this man, when we see him attempt
ting to erah himself, by traducing the
character,ofsuch..men as Henry Clay, The
odore Frelinghuysen, and John Quincy
Adams.-Rutland Herald.

The Work goes bravely on!

Democrats, the dawn is breaking the
night of Federal ascendancy will shortly
be dispelled by the glorious sun of Dem
ocracy, now about to arise and illumine
the land with its genial rays. The CON-
test is over the struggle is already past /;
there is not Federal Whiggery enough in
the land to talk about, and the only con-
Germ now with the Democratic presses is,
lest the affair should go off without their
assistance, and consequently witout af-
tording them any profit. Set it down as
''ixed fact" that JAMES X. Polk. is the
next Pesident of the United States. Hang
up his portrait by the side of the immor-
tai Wa shington, the noble Jefferson, the
heruic Jackson, for it is already recor-
ded in the book of fate, and in the hearts
of million and half of freemen, that
his name shall be written by the side of
the illustrious patriots, who have filled the
measure of their country's glory. Do
you ask for the evidences of this? They

sounds with them. Hear the shouts of

tiers received by tine Republic from the
most respectable sources in Galveston,
which give deplorable account of the
ravages ofthe fever in the city which, how
yer, had somewhat abated when The Re-
public left. Itswept through some fam
lilies, prostrating every member, the chill
dren and servants not escaping. In the
threatening aspect of Mexico, and the
risk of an attack upon Galveston, the in

for alarm, but the more immediate dam
ger from the pestilence overpowered every
feeling of the kind. One gentleman, in
abiding to the apathy manifested in re-

seven years, and have heard Of the wolf

mense Importance of the coming contest.
L never saw so much enthusiasm among
the Wing party; and in the face of the
great increase of business-manufactur
trade of all kinds and improvement
and prosperity in every branch of bust
ness, produced by the present Tariff,
never fear that all this section of Penn
sylvania will give very large majority
for Clay and Frelinghuysen; and from the
statements l have received from my
friends, Col. Swift and Geo. w. Jones,
who with the Clay Ministries are making
an important tour through the centre of
this State, there is no doubt at all that
Markle will be the next Governor. am
never disposed to be over sanguine but
in this case assurance seems doubly
sure from recent events. There isl no
fear of the people installing the issue, al

have been made to induce the people
the farmers especially-to believe that
Mr.. Polk is in favor of the Tariff as it
is"

Mr. HENRY

The Wilmington Chronicle charges that Mr..
Henry voted in Sampson county at the late Presi-
DENTAL election. We have eEqnired of members.
of the Bar who have pracllced in Sampson and
learn these to be the facts: That it has been a
practice in Sampson to allow all persons who
.svere qualified 20 vote in the State, and who did
not reside in Sampson, but were attending Court
there the day of the Presidential elections whether
wagoners, suitors, witnesses or lawyers both wings
and democrats, to vote in Sampson; and that this
was allowed and permitted by common consent of
bothparties at the late election when the wagoners
suitors and witnesses of both parties from other
counties voted without challenge or objection on
either side. There is then nothing unfair in this
when both parties are allowed the same privilege
it defrauds no body nor party. We have also
ascertained upon enquiry, that DIR. DANIEL b.
BAKER, the whig Elector and townsman of the
Chronicle, voted once at the Presidential election
in Sampson whilst attending Court there. Mr.. Ba-
ker will not deny this. It is known too, that the
late Alexander Troy, also on one or two occa-
sions, voted at the Presidential election there MIR.
Troy was Solicitor of that Circuit, and we learn
that he was a gentleman of the most scrnpuions
honor, and he, as States officer. had taken an
oath to support the Constitution. Fire again, MIR.

the absent Senator was detained on the way and
