SAMUEL M. STRONG,]
VOLUME I.
RKAD! DETIOCKATS READ!
We beg leave to recommend tlie fol
lowing address to I lie perusal of every
Democrat, in the State, who may thus
prepare bitnself to refute a few of the
thousand and one misrepresentations and
devices, that are used by our opponents,
to distract the public attention from the
true questions at issue before the people.
TO THE DEMOCRACY OF PENN
SYLVANIA, NORTH CAROLINA,
MARYLAND, AND VIRGINIA.
We have received information that the
whig congressional franking and publish
ing committee have prepared, and are
printing, certain documents to be issued
on the eve of the election in the above
States, for the purpose of abusing the
judgment and controlling the votes of the
people therein. We have not been able
to obtain copies of these documents, but
understand that they are of a gross and
irifatnouscliaracler—filled with false state
ments concerning Mr. Polk and Ins opin
ions and sentiments upon measures which
divide the two great parties iti this coun
try. One of the tracts, we understand,
was prepared by a clerk in one of the ex
ecutive departments from the State of
Tennessee, imputing to Mr. Polk doc
trines never held by that gentleman, on
the subject of the tariff. This document
has no other basis on which to stand, than
whig charges generally, and particularly
those in the stump speeches of Mr. Jones,
of Tennessee, whose competitor Mr. Polk
was in the late gubernatorial contest in
liiat State, which statements have long
since been denied by Colonel Polk, under
his own signature anti published opinions.
W e see that a card has oecn issued by
the democratic executive committee of
Philadelphia, to their democratic brethren
throughout Pennsylvania, warning them
that
A most extraordinary partisan move
ment m the part of our political oppo
i nenls in Pennsylvania and Tennessee nas
| just come to light here. A plot has been
laid by them to get an imposing array of
names to false statements concerning Gov
|< rnorPolk and his sentiments on the tariff,
jand to circulate their slanders, thus bold
ly put forth by numbers of their partisans,
at so late an hour of the campaign as to
! prevent the possibility of an authoritative
and satisfactory contradiction.
Dkmocrats! Look out Jar nfi sorts of
frauds from this until the presidential elec
11ion. Desperation has seieed upon the
j whig parts*. They have thrown over*
I board w hat little conscience they had left.
Be, therefore, not surprised at any* false
hood, however absurd or ridiculous. Be
up and doing! Be on the ground on the
;election day, ready to meet and discoun
jteimnee the libels and slanders of coon
!erv. See that every democrat is at the
polls with vou. Remember that it is the
I last hour of the battle that gains the vic
tory ”
We understand lh.it thf* franking enm
jmittee here have in tin* course of prepar
ation documents intended for circulation
hi t!tc Catholic portions of Maryland, de
tnyingthai the native Americans and whigs
in Philadelphia formed an amalgamation
in the Isle gubernatorial and congression
al elections in Pennsylvania, denying that
the conditions of agreement lietween them
were, that the whips on their part were
to vote for Mr. Levin and the two other
native candidates for Congress, the native
candidates for the legislature in the city
and county of Philadelphia, and the na
tive candidate for mayor in the city; and
shat the natives, on their part, were to
Ivote <<>r Markle, the whig candidate for
governor. This they intend to deny, and
not only to abuse the natives, but actually
to make quotations purporting to be from
the speeches of Mr. Clay in favor of the
Catholics, and others purporting to Ik*
from the speeches of Mr. Poik, denuncia
tory ol the Catholit s. We have strong rea
son to believe iltat they intend to take this
course, riot only from the information we
have received, but from the circumstance
I „f the unmeasured abuse ot the “natives”
by some of the whig leaders of this city
I —whom they denounce as church-burners
land scoundrels—but from the circurn-
I stance of their issuing a tract on the eve
| oft he recent gubernatorial election in Ma
ryland, charging Mr. Polkas being un
friend y to Catholics, and with having vei
led against the admission of certain bells
j free of duty for that denomination, and
i for the admission of bells free ol duty to
Protestant churches.
The executive committee examined the
journals of Congress, and promptly re
futed the libel. Mr. Polk never voted for
the admission of any bolls free of duty,
whether belonging to Catholic* or Protest
ant denominations. He has always taken
the ground on such matters that James
Madison took in his messages vetoing hills
j for the benefit of a church corporation in
! Alexandria, in this District. lie believed
such a remission would be unconstitution
al. We think that every wise statesman
would refrain from doing any act which
would have the least tendency to unite
church and state, as would be ihe voting
money out of the treasury for the benefit
of a church corporation. To take from
jibe public treasury money paid into it lor
duly on hells, anil lo refund the same to
the church paying the duty, would he in
some measure supporting the establish
ment benefuied by ihe remission, out of
'ihe government purse. Therefore, the
j f, rs t, the most remote approach towards u
union of rhureii and «a , <"* ihotild be met

and frowned down by the lovers of our
free institutions cverywhete. Things in
this country, judging from the aspect of
alfitirs betbre us, are now approaching a
dreadful crisis; and it will require the
exertions ndt only of patriots, but the
prayers and exertions of sincere Chris
tians of every religious denomination, to
force back and calm the waves of popu
lar prejudice. No church establishment
should desire support from the govern
ment. Such support would be the ruin
of the church receiving it. The enemies
of free government, if they wished to blot
our institutions from existence, could fall
upon no surer plan to effect that object
than by getting some church establish
ment upon the government for support. —
The smallest amount taken from the pub
lic treasury, and given in the most indi
rect manner for the benefit of any* relig
ious sect, would make a precedent of a
most dangerous character. Therefore, be
ware of the entering wedge. We hope
that, il the whigs continue to circulate
this charge against Mr. Polk, all good Cath
olics and Protestants will frown it down
as a vile whig slander, fabricated in their
laboratory in this city. It is remarkable
with what degree of assurance the whigs
deny that they deceived the “natives iri
Philadelphia” by not electing all three ol
the “native candidates to Congress, in
stead of tw*o, and by not electing their
mayor as they promised by their agree
ment to do.”
THE LAST DESPERATE EXPEDI
ENT OF WHIGERY TO SAVE A
DESPERATE CAUSE.
Contempt for People, and ail insult to
their intelligence.
Though we are poor men and mechan
ics, who “liveby the sweat of our face,”
yet w*e feel that we have as great a stake
in the preservation of our free institutions
as those who live by their wits, and who
are exerting themselves to graft upon the
government a bank, by which they can
rob the mass, that they may live in luxu
rious idleness. We believe, too, that the
people are capable of self-government.—
Thejefore do we feel indignant at any r act
of the federal party which gives evidence
of their contempt for the intelligence of
the people, arid tends to bring our institu
tions into disrepute. We could not but
feel incensed, then, at what we witnessed
at the railroad depot in this city yester
day evening; several barrels of whig bread
made of sawdust and rye-bran, consign
ed to the Don. Willis Green, (a repre
sentative from Kentucky, the bondsman
for Henry Clay* to keep the peace towards
ail men in this District, and particularly
i towards the Hon. Win, 11. King, Senator
from Alabama.) This bread, we under
stand, has been baked in the North, ex
pressly for the fireman of Virginia, North
Carolina, and Maryland,and may he con
sidered as the substance and realization
of the whig promise of 184!), of “roast
beef and two dollars per day..” This
party, without principles, having a perfect
contempt lor the intelligence of the peo
ple, intend for the want of better argu
ment, to use loaves of this bread, on the
stump, as the embodiment and soul of
their arguments. They intend to tell (as
they say) “the poor and illiterate farmers
and laborers of North Carolina, Maryland,
and Virginia,” that, if Col. Polk be elect
ed President, “this is the bread you will
have to eat; but if Ciav is elected, you
shall, upon our honor , have “ mast beef
and two dollars [ter day !!” Have old
Virginia, the land which gave birth to a
Washington, a Jefferson, and a Macon—
North Carolina, the birth place of a Ma
rion, a Polk, and hundreds of revolution
ary heroes and statesmen —Maryland, the
land of the Howards, the Carrolls, the
Pinckneys, the Wirts, and numerous pa
triots and wdse men—become so benight
ed, so steeped in poverty and ignorance,
so devoid of that pride, that chivalry, that
you once possessed, as to permit whig or
ators to insult, to contemn you, to appraise
your intelligence at so low a standard, by
holding up this compound as an argument
why you should vote for Henry Clay?—
Will you not spurn from your presence,
with just indignation, these inflated ora
tors of whigery, who come before you
with such arguments?
We understand that a large portion of
this whig bread has been forwarded to
the consecrated ground of Yorktown, \ a.,
where the next coon gathering is to be
held. They even pollute with their mum
mery the sacred soil where the patriot
fathers of the democracy alone bled.—
IVe call upon the democracy of these
three States particularly to be on their
guard. The whig franking committee in
this city are hatching treason against you.
They are fabricating, in their laboratory
here, some infernal missile. Their deeds
are so black that none but the “good and
true” of whigery are permitted to enter
its threshold. The public messengerseven,
who have been in the habit, until within
a few davs, of carrying the letters of the
Hon. U'iilis Green, chairman of the whig
committee, to their room, are now forbid
den to enter. Something, therefore, is
brewing. fVe see its foreshadowing*.—
If the people of Mr. fVise’s district, in
Virginia should, within a few days, -find
amongst them u printed letter, purporting
to be written by him, in favor of the elec
tion of Henry Clay, be not surprised.—
Coonery is desiierate, and will do almost
liny tiling- That gentleman, before he

Clay, in this city, to gentlemen whose rc-
FRO PATKA FT LEG!BUS.
racily will not be questioned. lie con
clusively proved in his card that the blood
of Gilley was upon the hands ol the whig
candidate. Should such a letter come
amongst you on the eve of the election,
you can guess its origin. Look out for
every kind of fraud and deception» the
coon is driven to desperation. He will
soon cut curious pranks “before high hea
ven.” Be on your guard ; federalism in
its death struggle will present deformities
most hideous.
\Ye have felt it to he our duty, in com
pliance with the instructions of the execu
tive committee of the democratic ttstocia
tion, to issue this card, to put our democrat
ic friends on their guard in the eiectiou
now approaching. Should we procure cop
ies of the fabrications in preparation, we
will publish them to the country. Be on
your guard for pipe-layers. They calculate
to break down our majority in Pennsylvania
by pipe-laying. Therefore be vigilant.
The democratic papers in the State? above
will give extensive circulation to this card,
and tell our friends to circulate it to all
their neighbors. Pennsylvania is with us
beyond question, as is Georgia; and an
other stroug effort in Maryland and North
Carolina will break down federalism in
those States. Let, therefore, every mau in
these two States exert himseif as if the safe
ty of the public depended on bis personal
exertions.
By order of the executive committee of
the democratic association :
JAMES TOWLES, Chairman.
C. P. Sengstack, Secretary.
Wo ask the reader’s attention to the fol
lowing able article from the Kentucky
Yeoman. When such men as Cassius
M. Clay, and certain Whig leaders are
lady giving confidence and boldness to the
Abolitionists, such scenes may be looked
lor at no distant day, us no uncommon
occurrence. What say you people of
Georgia to these things? How much lon
ger will you suffer yourselves to .be decei
ved and misled by the Clavs, the Web
sters, the Sewards, the Grangers and the
Gcddings. Here is a practical lesson lor
you in a slave state, and at the very door
of the Whig candidate for the Presidency.
WHIGGERY AND NIGGERY--PRAC
TICAL EFFECTS OF TIIE COA
LITION OF CLAY AND
ABOLITIONISM.
A preacher from Ohio, by name Fair
bank, of the sect of True Wesleyan?, the
most ultra class of practical abolitionists
and professed kidnappers, who had been
assured by that precious young knight er
rant Cassius Clay (who is now gone to
convert the Abolitionists of the whole
Union to the support of his relative and pa
tron of Ashland,) of the high state of abo
lition sentiment around the residence of
Henry Clay, ventured a few days agoover
to Lexington, on a negro-stealing pilgri
mage to the Holy Land ol the embodi
ment. During his stay, he paid frequent
visits to the man who, according to his sev
eral biographers, has been throughout his
life so conspicuously and uniformly oppo
sed to slavery, and was reassured of Mr.
Cassius Clay's oracular and authoritative
declaration that “on one side was Polk &
Slavery, and on the other Clay and Liber
tv !” Certain he must have received high
encouragement, for alter a lew days so
journ he decamped taking with him a car
riage full of slaves of Messrs. Bain, Grant,
and Baxter of Lexington, and also a young
w hite woman whom he had seduced into
his views, and whom he no doubt intended
to marry to one of the darkies when arri
ved in Ohio, by way of rebuking ihe in
vidious inequalities on the score of color
that exists among the followers of “Polk ;
and Slavery.” We suppose Mr. Fairbank
obtained a safe conduct from Ashland
through the immediate dominions of the
Embodiment, ns he drove his sable argo
sy unmolested through Fayette county.
But the people of the adjoining county ol
Bourbon not “agreeing in sentiment” so
completely with Mr. Cassius Clay as that
gentleman informs us “the nearest and
most intimate friends” of Henry Clay do
on the subject of slavery, arrested the Rev.
MrFairbank with his variegated spoilsand
committed them to jail, where they now
are ruminating over those oracular words
of Cassius, “on one side is Polk and Sla
very; on the other Clay and Liberty !”
Such, people of Kentucky, are the ef
fects which are beginning thus early to
flow from the coalition of Whiggery and
Abolitionism, which Cassius M. Clay,
Adams, Giddings, Webster, Seward, and
a host ofothers, all confederates of Henry
Clay, a:e actively laboring all over the
Union to perfect. This Cassius Clay has
been sent forth from the very threshold of
Ashland on this disgraceful mission. They
may quote Mr. Clay’s letter to the Obser
ver disavowing Cassius as a representa
tive of his views of slavery—it vvusit mere
trick, intended for the South. Has it
checked Cassius Clay, Daniel Webster,
or any other of Mr. Clay’s abolition con
federates in their asseveration of Mi. Clay’s
friendship for the abolition cause ? Not in
the least. But ten or twelve days ago an
immense mass meeting ol Whigs and ab
olitionists came off on Boston common, at
which this Cassius Clay, Daniel Webster
and other of Mr. Clay's wooers of the abo
lition support made speeches, explaining
away nil that Mr. Clay had said excep
tionable to the aiiti-«laveryitcs, and re-as
serting that hi* election w ill licit promote j
the abolition cause. This systematic
overtureofthe Whigs to the nboliti<*ii*i» |
is now being industriously urged by the'
[Editor and Proprietor.
! most conspicuous and confidential parti
i sans of Henry Clay in every Iree Slate in
the Union. The bargain is proffered bv
i the Whig leaders throughout the whole
j North to the abolitionists, that ifthey will
| aid in securing the election of Henry Clay
the Whig party will lend itself to their de
j signs. Such is the obvious alliance now
formed and being firmed between Whig
gery and Abolitionism. Os what horrible
results will spring from such a coalition if
successful we have a small premonitory
symptom in the above narrative. It is for
Kentuckians to say wht ther they will thus
surrender up their dearest rights and in
terests as a fatal sacrifice to promote the
fortunes of Henry Clay. Whether they
will countenance and sanction a procee
ding that invites the kidnapper to the very
heart of the State on his infernal erratic!,
and will in a slant time bring into the very
bosom of our community swarms of incen
diary conspirators to incite the ferocious
negro lo rebellion, butchery and all the
diabolical excesses of a servile insurrec
tion. People of Kentucky ! take timely
warning upon this subject—the danger is
lar more fearful limn it is remote —rise in
your majesty and rebuke unto confusion
this horrid alliance—blast the germ of the
evil in the bud, or the day may come, and
that not very distant, when your firesides
your wives and your daughters tnav be
involved in one horrid sacrifice to the bru
tal vengeance and violence of your slaves
maddened to the fury of wild beasts by
the taste of their masters’ blood. It is a
frightful event to contemplate, but has not
John Quincy Adams the pre-eminent and
most courted confederate of Clay, alrea
dy declared it, that “the object of the a
bolitionists should be accomplished
though it should cost the lives of the five
millions!,f white men, women and children
in the slave Slates ?” With such open men
aces as these from the chief head of the ab
olitionists. and the universal disregard of
all restraints of constitution, law peace &
humanity, displayed by ihese infernal fan
atics, what imagination can depict the hor
rible consequences that must inevitably
flow from an ascendant coalition of Whig
gery ami Abolitionism in our government
such as the partisans of Clay are endea-!
coring to effect, and such as hi*- election 1
will certainly accomplish?—Rally.
WHIG PROTECTION.
The following is a pretty fair specimen j
of the sort of Protection which Mr. Ci ty i
and the advocatesof the Whig tariff, give]
to the labouring and producing classes of
the country. Read it Labouring men,
read it Planters of Georgia, and see to
what extent you are protected.
RICH AND POOR.
It may fare hardly, perhaps, with some
of the former by-and-b\’, hut on this earth
or at least this portion of it—so long as it
remains undet Whig dominion—it is on
the whole a very comfortable thing to be
rich. Witness, for example, the truly pa
ternal solicitude for their interests, in con
tradistinction from those of the great mass
of the Laboring Poor, exhibited in (bear-1
rangement of the provisions of the pre-|
sent Tariff. We trust that while so well
“taken cate ol” by the polite attention of a
government that* “knows howto treat a
gentleman as a gentleman,” they will not
forget their reciprocal duty of themselves
“taking care of the poor." The following
comparative view of the different rules of
taxation applied by Whig legislation to
the “upper” and “lower classes;” may
not be new to our readers, as it has been i
fbr sometime going the rounds oft he dem-|
ocratic press before the News sprang into
existence; but we are satisfied that none,
of our readers will find fault with its re-
production.

HENRY CLAY THE TRAITOR! J!
Head Georgians, read the Testimony.
Lowndes, Oct. 2, 1844.
Dear Sir:—The declaration which I
heard Col. Preston make, was lo this ef
fect; That at the White Sulpher Springs,
in Virginia, Mr. Clay declared, that it was
true Congress could not free our slaves,
but that they co Jd, by high duties on im
ports, make them so valueless, that if they
did not run away from us, we should be
glad to run away from them; and that,
that was the great object of the Tariff sys
tem.
This declaration was made by Col. Pres
; ton in the fall and winter, I think, of 1541,
and Mr. Clay’s remarks were made that
summer. Col. Preston repeatedly made
the declaration, publicly and privately.
Col. Clifton, ofDallas, Dr. Lawrence, of
this county, JThigs; and Robert Rives and
Reuben House, ol this county, Democrat*
heard Col. Preston make the same declar
ation, some of them like myself—-repea
tedly. Yours truly.
R. P. McCORD.
B. A. Reynolds, F.sq.
This startling exposition of the true ob
ject and policy of Henry Clay, in advoca
ting and supporting a protective tariff, is
sustained and fully corroborated by the
testimony of the lion. Wm. C. Preston of
South Carolina, the Magnus Apollo of
Southern IFhiggery. Read fellow-citi
zens, the following extract of his letter lo
ft. P. McCord, dated Columbia, 19th Oc
tober, 1844.
“In the course of the conversation allu
ded to, Mr. Clay spoke of the general cau
ses which would in this country termi
nate slavery, as they had terminated in all
others, ana said, as I then understood him
that the influence of those causes would
be augmented by the protection of home
industry.” This alarming and full corro
beration has been reludantly drawn from
the distinguished FPblg, after endeavor
ing to abate the force of the fearful truth,
by along, artful and evasive preliminary
version of Mr. Clay’s character as a slave
holder, bis speech in the Senate in 1839,
and his reply to Mendenhall, in Indiana.
He has not denied the charge of R- P. Mc-
Cord, but admits, almost in terms, its
truth. And now fellow-citizens, what
did Henry Clay mean, when he said that
the protection ofhome industry, would ac
celerate the extinction of slavery ? Ho
meant what he now says and what the
IFliig* say, a tariff to protect Northern
manufactures-—in other words, just such a
tariff"•• that pasted Mr tk# If'higa in IS4G
