The New York Herald says, truly, thai
"Mr. Calhoun's friends are ont for Polk

greater and deeper extent under the flag

present subscribers will make this fact
known to those of their friends who wish
TO take a paper during the present can
vass. The present session Of congress is
one OF much interest. The settlement of
the tariff question, and the important me-
notiations which will be shortly entered
into concerning Oregon and Texas, are
matters about which the public will wish
the earliest and most correct information.
eminent for long period to come, it will
determine whether the country is to con-

things, we hope our Democratic friends in

Savannah Republican, warm Clay paper
in Georgia says:
"We deny that Mr.. Clay or the wings

for the establishment of a protective tariff,

graduate our whig friends throughout the

WHIGGERY.

In Rhode Island, free negroes are al
lowed to vote. Naturalized citizens are
not, unless they own a freehold. Rhode
Island is an Algerine whig State, where
they prosecute men for High Treason who
advocate reform; try them by Algerines,
and sentence them TO the Penilentiary.--
This is the kind of "iber,y" Henry Clay
sanctions; for he has "pledged himself
openly and candidly to support them in
their just and equitable rights" For this
pledge the Rhode Island Transcript, a
whig paper, says Mr.. Clay is to receive
"seven hundred negro votes' in that
State. GNash. Union.

STRANGE EVENT.

On the French side Of the New Orleans
Courier Of the 20th uit, there is all aIticlo
published officially by Judge Leblanc, Of
the Parish of Assumption--for the in
formation of those interested, We give a
translation OF 1t:
A young woman, stranger, came yes
terday morning to the house of my son-in-
law, Anselme Mollere, au Coteau st.
Helene, in this Parish, after having walk.
ed a long distance through the forest. On
being questioned as to the place of her
birth, the name of her parents and her
own, she persisted in maintaining a most
mysterious silence. AT length, after re.
peated inquiries, she spoke some words
which may lead her parents to recognize
her and relieve her from her present uh-
happy situation. The words 'Vincennes'
'My God.' 'Dubuc,' laurence and the
'Ladies Victorine,' were uttered several
times. This unfoIunate creature has no
extravagant manners. One sole object
appears to engross her whole attention,
which is that Of continually wandering
without any settled object. 1t would ap.
pear that she has not long led this erratic
life, as she still possesses the appearance
OF life more analogous to her sex. She
has complexion little tanned by the
sun, delicate hands, beautiful black hair
neatly arranged, delicate form, and she
is of medium stature. These are the de-
tails that l can present to her parents,
who, if they have humane hearts, may
call on me at my house ia Paincourtville,
and will conduct them, to my estate,
where my son.in.law and my daughter
have taken care Of her until she be re-
cognized by her relatives This female
speaks French and English remarkably
well. Crescem City.
