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 MltOA, VEOKUIA, FRIDAY, ftOVEZHBEIt I, Hit. 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 1,. 11 this country, o|»enly denounced Mr. 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.

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
