ANOTHER ILLUSTRATED
WEEKLY n ERALD!
SPLENDID HNGRAV1NGS
ILLUSTRATIVE OF THE
Early Life Of the Presidential
Candidates,

We shall publish another illustrated Weekly
Herald on Saturday morning, containing some
beautiful engravngs, illustrative of the early life Of
the Presidential candidates now before the country
for their suffrages next November. The artists are
now very busily engaged on them One of these
engravings will represent that well known scene in
the life Of Mr.. Clay when he went on horseback
with his mothers grist to the mill This is very
beautifully designed and will be well executed.
1t will present most impressive example to the
youth Of this country of the truth that talent, ge
MUS and energy, well directed, can rise from the
very humblest rank in life to the great and elevated
position which Mr.. Clay now occupies before the
people of this country.
Another engraving will represent scene in the
early life of Mr.. Polk, who Is naive of North
Carolina, and is represented when boy as chop
ping wood for his mother, and making himself
useful in an equally humble capacity as that in
which Mr.. Clay was engaged. This Is also another
lustrious example of the peculiar character of the
institutions and society of the United States, show
ing how mind can rise from the lowest condition
in the social scale to the very highest; and that
there is nothing to prevent the very newsboy who
sells this paper through the streets, if he choose to
conduct himself with virtue and energy, and pro-
prety, from becoming the chief magistrate OF THIS
great Acknowledged than the kings and emperors
of the old world. This Weekly Herald will also
contain other illustrations, which will be seen on
the day adjudication.
We intend, now that the Presidential contest
has fairly set in, aud all the local exctements and
riots have ceased, to proceed and illustrate all the
various important incidents in the lives Of the two
candidates. We shall also give graphic and anu
sing sketches, illustrative Of the manner in which
both parties conduct the canvass.

HARD QUESTIONS.

We have the authority of Senator Walker, Of
Mississippi, for charging James X. Polk with sup
porting what Mr.. Walker calls the corrupt banks
of Tennessee; for which course the aforesaid
Mr. Walker declared, in 1S43, that Mr.. Polk
should moi be elected Governor of Tennessee,
and reoiced in his defeat. The same Mr.. Wal
ker has since, however, amply atoned to Mr.. Polk,
the corrupt bankite, by having him nominated to
the Presidency. misfortune makes strange bed
fellows" 1 .tHt
The Natchez Courier asks the following rou-
blesome questions of their Senator, r. j. Walker
He will probably think that the less said upon
such matters the better:
A question or tuo for the Hon. R. j. Walker
Stand up Mr.. Walker, and answer. Have YOU
any recollection of having stated to two good
Democrats, whose names can be given if you de-
sire il, in Jackson, Miss, few days before the
last election for Governor of Tenne ssee, that Mr.
Polk should mt and could moi be elected-that he
had identified himself with the corrupt banks of
the State. and did not deserve to be elected 2"
"Have you any recollection of an article which
appeared in the Missssppian, shortly after the
| result of the Tennessee election was ascertained
violently denunciatory of Mr.. Polk, which re.
ceiued your approval, of which you were the prime
cause, and which Mr.. Polk wrote to some of his
Democratic friends in Mississippi to have re-
| tracted 7"

crat, who can not stand the struggled nominees,
| Polk and Dallas, to PROFOUND the above interro-
galleries to you; and now we will ask: If Mr..
Polk should not and could mol have been elected
Governor of Tennessee, why should he be elect

Twenty-Five thousand Freemen in council -

State, was that held at Norrstown. Farmers,
Mechanics, Manufacturers, and Workingmen,
with their wives sisters, daughters, implements
Of industry, banners and badges, turned out by
thousands, to show to the world that they are
determined 10 support those who will sustain the
Tariff in defiance of the attempts made by the
Locof'cos and their British free trade allies to
destroy it. Several gentlemen who have been
in the habit of attending large gatherings, csli-
mated the number present at between twenty
and thirty thousand
The meeting. was organized by the election of
ADDISON MAY, ESQ., as President, and of
large number Of VicePresidents and Secretaries.
After the meeting had been thus organized, Dr..

dent, delivered most powerful, argumentaive,
and interesting address.
Gen. Leslie Combs, one of the gallant sons of
cold Kenluck," next arose amidst the en- husias
TIC shouts OF the multitude, and after being intro
dnced, delivered speech replete with eloquence

once interested aud delighted the audience His
closing exhortation to the w hgs to be up and do
ing was received with three hearty cheers, which
convinced us that the workingmcn of Montgoul.

Gen. Rogers, of tennessee, followed Gen.

reputation he has won by his devotion TO the in
terests of the people and Of The country. His
remarks were also received by the audience in
manner highly gratifying TO every true Wing

these gentlemen were very effective.

MR.. CALHoUN-oFFICIAL FAIRNESS.

NIX. CALHOUN-OfFlCIAL FAlhNEDo.
| A few days ago Wing of this city took it into
his head to make up list of Mr.. Folks votes in
the House of Representatives, from the journal;
and to insure perfect authenticity, he obtained
the certificate of Justice of the Peace to the
accuracy of his compilation. But the object being
to circulate the facts through the country for the
information of the people, application was made
to the Secretary of State for his certificate to the
fact, that the individual claiming to be United
States Justice of the Peace was really SUCH
This, as the reader is aware, is the usual mode
of authenticating legal instruments, and it was
therefore, resorted to in the present case. Mr..
Calhoun refused to make the certificate, turning
haughtily from 1t, as matter entirely beneath
him. We shall not stop to inquire how far he
is warranted in such course, because his con-
duct in precisely similar case puts the matter
beyond all question.
A Locefoco thought proper to obtain the cer-
tfcate of a magistrate to the fact that Mr.. Clay
had been bound, some years ago, to keep the
peace, when he was challenged by Mr.. King of
Alabama and on going to Mr.. Calhoun for his
certificate to the magistrates commission, OBJ
tanned it, with all the formality necessary to the
ratification of treaty! See the Globe Of Sep
TENDER 20.l Such is plain statement Of facts,
which, we humbly think, will not rebound to the
credit of Mr.. Calhoun, There was time when
that gentleman stood favorably before the world
as the model of dig li6ed statesman, but the
unhoy lust of office and it's emouments, has
brought him low, indeed, when he has taken upon
himself the humble vocation of second fiddler to
James X. Polk, and consents, as the price of his
place. to become "man of all work" for the
+" Rogues and Royalsts," whom, he declared,
were held together by the cohesive power Of
the public plumber"

The following unequivocal statement will put
to rest the hundred idle reports on the subject of
Mr. Taylor's course, Every person who knows

To The Editor Of The Republican:
Having received several letters from the Dis
trict of Columbia and elsewhere, saying that il
was publicly stated that Mr.. R,yes, of the Globe
office, had offered to take the bet of $4,000 to
$4,000 that Henry Clay would be elected Presi.

RICHNESS of the statement.
Mr.. Rives was in this place on the Both of Au-
gust, and we made the following bets $3.50 on
the general result $3.50 on Pennsylvania; and
$500 that James X. Polk would not get the votes
of eleuen States. After making these bets, pro-
posed TO Mr.. Rives 10 make additional bets, of
IS 900 on Pennsylvania, and $1,000 on the gen
era result, which Mr.. Rives declined, saying he
had betted much as he wanted He made no
offer to take up the bet of $4,000 TO $4,000 on
the general result, which bet am still willing to
make. BUSHROD TAYLOR.
GJ' hope this may be regarded as an explicit
answer to all inquiries on the subject
The undersigned know, of their own personal
owledge, that Bushrod Taylor was prepared on
the Both day of August, the date above referred
to, to stake $4,000, if the bet had been taken by
Mr.. Rives or any other person.
