STATE OF FEELING IN THE INTERIOR.
The following ff a idler fn in an old demo
crat, who generally forms an accurate esti
mate of the popular pulse. We Lcheve all
be says of the present feeling of the yeomanry
of the country. What he says, too, about the
necessity of immediate organization in coun
ties,cities, wards, towns, and school districts,
deserves the immediate attention ot the de
mocracy. Let them every whore organise,
and victory is certain.
Hudson, 19th Aug. 18 44.
Sir—Since I leit New 3 oik I have visited
portions of the counties of Dutchess, Orange,
Columbia and Rensselaer, and have endea
vored to look with some cure into the state
of political leeiing in those sections of I lie
state. lam constrained to say, that the demo
cratic cause never looked more promising
than now in the River (’entities. Fanners
are growling and complaining under the un
precedentedly low prices of their produce, and
seem to feel most acutely the injustice oi
that legislation which fosu-rs only [’articular
interests. 1 was most forcibly struck with
tne fact, that farmers residing in the immedi
ate vicinity of manufactories, w ithin the very
sight ot tneir steeples, exhibit, il possible,
stronger feelings against the whig tariff of
1842, than those wno live at a greater dis
tance; and tins is a most natural feeling, for
while they see their m mufacturing neighbors
getting r.cii, without increasing tne wages ot
tneir laborers, they the poor lii ers of the soil,
are becoming poor. Oats, corn and hay aie
now pretty much the staples ol the river
counties. One intelligent fanner assured
me that " his hired help would, this year, run
away with all the profits of ins larm; that,
luckily, he was out of debt, but if lie owed for
his farm, as he did under the good days o! vft n.
Jackson, he could make no head way agam.-t
debt with outs at two shillings per bushel
at the river landing, hay loss I. an iwenty-Lve
rents per hundrtd, ami corn ies- than torty
five cents per bushel. sSaid he, “when Igo to
the village store, 1 have to pay a great deal
more lur shirting and dry goods for my fatni'y
loan I did two y« ais ago, and get much less lor
rnv pro luce, so vve poor farmers are fleeced at
bmii ends.” If, said he, ‘The.-e are the bles
sings of a tariff winch so bountifully protects
the manufacturers, winch compels us to buy
Do;king but Inane goods, and sell to none but
a home market, 1. tor one, pray to be relieved
from its benefits.” Depend upon it. the leei
ing he so forcibly expressed is taking- a deep
hold of the agriculturists. Its echo from
the ballot boxes in November will be strong
and decisive.
Democratic editors ought to enforce this
point of high duties, enormous profits to man
ufacturers, and low prices to farmers, with the
utmost assiduity and vigor. How changed
tne toel ngs since 1840, when I also journeyed
through tne regions of my late peregrinations!
Then farmers, with ] rices for tin L produce
thirty-three and a third percent, higher than
at present, but nnt near so high as under the
inflation, of lS3f>, were told, (and too many
were made to believe it.) that the democratic
administration was answerable for the decline
of their prices. Now as one ol them said to
me, “the boot is on the other leg, and Doctor
Tariff wid be held responsible.”
The wings are making tremendous exer
tions. The Tribune seems found at every
man’s door, but it evidently is “no go" among
the yeomanry. It is entirely too ultra in its
advocacy of the manufacturing interests, to
interest that vastly greater interest winch is
so sorely crushed by whig policy. A shrewd
farmer observed to me, “The wings scatter
the r paper very freely among us, but a fall
ol two cents on a bushel oi oats or an hundred
ot hay will, in this neighborhood, more than
destroy the effect of a cart load of Tribunes.”
I repeat: urn spirit of the democracy was
never more promising. Large meetings con
vene every where, Without any effort to get
the people together. This is ail well, as far
as it goes; hut lam fcaifa! that, as yet, the
whigs in liiis state are in advance of us in or
ganization. They have already organized in
School Districts, and \vc must do l.kewise.—
Our friends at Albany seem so entirely en
grossed with local and state matters,that they
Lave not yet, that I can learn, made the first
fcß*) towards a general state organization, in
i referencetothePresidenffalelection. Thefirst
ii movement, for tuff purpose, has generally
conut !hAlbau*. 1 apprehend, if the thing
, S.- to Fe do: u i; this year, Lie initiatory step

man—onr e r ... non Irena—a man of great
i t.i, tj li. :ir rv a: I integrity contributed vastly
towa. !.s a m< -t efficient slate organization
in 1810. ( 'an you not prevail upon him again
to pot ins shoulders to t.;e wheel? With de
cent organization, I am uow very sure wc can
carry tins slate lor Folk and Dallas by at least

Mr. Tyler having withdrawn from the 1
Presidents! contest, it may not be obtrusive
; or improper for us to say that our course |
' hereafter will be the same that it has been .
; hitherto, viz: straightforward in the old Madi- ,
j sonian and Jellersonian Republican path. :
, Thi is tl ■ ath which Mr. Tyler lias pur- 1
sued, tnd wili undoubtedly continue to pursue, '
' as a j olitie.ian and dim f Magistrate.
It was onr sincere desire to* see Mr. Clay i
defeated by the man whom he laid so unjust- !
!y persecuted for demolisiiing the monster i
I ihink, bat being disappointed in lliat w ish vve j
, can see no re; <Oll why he should not be de- [
hated by another, particularly since his oh- i
in xious principles, which vve have been com- j
I hating for years, have undergone no change. !
The (UNueiples of Mr, Polk are precisely I
the s,nne taat are entertained by 31r. Tyler, i
This ice say on no daub ft; I authority. 'Tne j
same may he c nfidenily said i f Mr. Dallas, i
Therefore we shall advocate the election of
Polk and Dallas. And they will be elected
easily.
FASHION.S FOR AUGUST.

Garages 'i agiioii m checks ot moderate 1
size, Mous. elines Giselle, tilde Marie, and
[ todes tie Chine, with foulards of endless va
| nety, are the materials best suited for the
present month. In neglige, redingotes are
worn of English jaconet, or muslin, lined; the
bodies are generally open in front; the sleeves
wide but very short, and under ones of mus- :
lin bouiilonnes; many peignoirs are of white I
! ribbon. The corsages, with revers pelerine, 1
continue in favor, as well as the half long :
sleeve, with under ores of v/hit*. but these, it |
must he observed.art* seldom with wrist-hands, j
but preserve their width to the bottom; the ■
revers women the corsages are sometime so j
large as to have the appearance of an open j
pelerine, to which a fancy fringe gives addi- :
: tional width; a similar fringe ornamenting the S
skirt, in two rows, as a flounce, and tlie edge |
of the closed jockey which surmounts the :
sleeve. Velvet is much used to ornament 1
dresses, numerous rows of it forming a border i
at tiic bottom of the skirt, just above the hem, ■
lessoning in width, as they ascend; it is also ;
used on black net dresses, forming heading to i
the flounces, which commence at the waist. ;
i Pardessns, mantelets, and mantilies are of j
every variety ; the paletots of taffetas d Italic i
are much in fashion; but for the promenade j
the colors ato cornued to blacker dark blue, I
! trimmed with bia. k lace; the sleeves are j
rather wide, but not lower than the eibovv; ;
, and a ! .• •; i ribbon encircles the waist; fur |

ruches of ribhou or with lace. In fichus, the I
; par ro'dered guimpes and liltle collars a la
Jeannette, covered by several rows of Valen
ciennes lace, are worn, as weil as revers form
j ed of inlets, frills ol three rows of lace, and

Bv the Mexican schooner Rosita, from Vera Cruz,
whence she sailed on the, 5Ji inst.. we have receiv
ed our files of Mexican papers to that date.
The papers contain noshing regarding the pay
, ment of the indemnity to the Lh si.a;es. now some
months past due. They are hardened mainly vviih
remarks and extracts touching the rejection by the
I American Senate of the Treaty of Annexation.
Tha proposed campaign against the “revolted de
partment of Texas.’’ is also a subject of remark
[ and of a- arieiy of official papers. The following
is the prt. portion of men to be furnished by each de
panmeul:

at New York under renoirs.) were lying at ( era

The Diariod 1 Gobierno (’-'exican official) con
tains the diplomatic correspondtme between the
Mexi an Governin' .it and ti.e French, Spanish and
British ministers, relative to ihe summary execution
of Senlmanut and the m* n v . racunpanied him in
the late expedition against Tba*=co. The french
minister protest against the execnih n of sixteen of
the number, who were French subjects vviihor.t a
full and thorough trial, guaramied in the treaties
between the two countries. The subject had been
referred to the King of the French, the Mexicans
having declined to discuss ihe question any fariher
w irh tiie minister, xe he m they accuse of acting wit li
i more heat then judgment in the premises. The
I heads of the Frenchni n were to have been stuck
on poles and ex’uffited but for the strenuous imer
ven'ion of Thomas Marin, ahe commander of the
Mexican squa > n.

is. that no foreign country, lx- it ever so powerful,
has a right to say what shall or shall not be the law

tLj Our corresrtomicut, “Coon Ki.'ier," was
mistaken in stating that the expressions as
cribed to .Mr. Clay were used in the letter of
that gentleman to Mr. Bronson. The ex
pressions were used in a speech delivered by
: .Mr. Clay in the Senate of the United Slates
in 1811. at the extra session, while the Reve
nue Lhii was under discussion. Ilis expres
sions were;
“Carry out the principles of the Compro
mise Act. i.ouk to revenue alone for the
support of government. Do not ~ ise the
11 miei
question of protection, which I hamhejped had
| been put to rest. There is no nextsoify of
j protection fur protection.”
j ts In publishing the communication of
; “.Monitor,” in reply to Col. R. 1,. Gamble, it
is proper that we should accompany it with a
: few brief remarks, as it has been an invari
able rule with us to act fairly and justly
j towards onr political opponents, e-pecialiy
j when we came to be, however remot: y, con
j nected with any controversy on
■ through the medium of our paper.
With t.he controversy of Col. Gamble with
; “Monitor,” we are so far connected with it,
as to have admitted to tiie Colonel, that any
; person, without giving strict attention to the
! arrangement ofthe toasts reported in the com
j mumcation of “-Monitor,” as having been
j given at Waynesboro’, on the 4th of July,
| 1832, would ascribe them to Co!. Gamble, as
j they were ascribed by a democratic orator, a
1 short time since, as stated in the con iminica
j lion of the Colonel, Fo far, we are connect
i cd with the controversy, and no further.—
| However, in order to place that branch of the
j controversy which relates to the toasts, in a
j clear point of view, we have examined the
| files of the Constitutionalist, and the result of
j our examination has been,that the three toasts
j which have been ascribed to Col. Gamble,
1 were not at all furnished by him. The fol
! lowing is a copy of tiic celebration of the
I 4th of July at Waynesboro’, as to be found
| in the Constitutionalist, so far as it relates to
the three toasts in question, which are to he
found among the volunteers :
“By 3d Li ml. U r . E. Evans. —Let that odi
ous system of mingled protection and oppres
sion, which now distracts the Un.on.be speed)-
I ly given to oblivion, or it must descend (o pos
! tenty only-as a beacon to point out the rock
1 of our dissolution.”

tCT*In the letter of .Mr. Smythe, | üblished
in this day’s paper, we arc charged with two
: errors; one in the publication of his letter of
| the slli of August in reply to “Wilkes,” and
I tiie other in noticing a typographical error
i we made in the communication of “Wilkes.”
; We plead guilty to the first error. Outlie
: examination of Mr. Smythe’s letter, we find
1 that the sentence should have been printed:
i “After he (Mr. McMillan) had spoken one
i hour, lacking (if I recollect right) about seven
minutes, 1 interrupted him, and informed him
| of the decision of the committee; that lie had
seven minutes left of the hour; that, as Iliad
neglected to give him this information before
commencing his remarks, he should have
fifteen minutes more than an hour. makin fT
; in all twenty two minutes still left him.”
■ \\ itli regard to the second error, we be
lieve that our expressions were plain nnd ex
plicit enough: we said:
“In publishing the letter of Mr, Smythe,
which will be found on our first page, in reply
I to the communication of “Wilkes,” published
in our paper of July 30, we have to correct a
typographical error committed in that com
'■ municalum. The error consists in this, that
I the words should presume to oppose them on
the slump, are printed as quoted, whereas in
i the manuscript they are not.” The error was
: committed in setting the communication of
; “Wilkes,” and not the letter of Mr, Smythe,
| and consisted in placing the words as if they
! were quoted by “Wilkes,” while they were
not.
O’A special meeting of the democratic

inviting me in very kind and flattering terms,

to accept vour invitation if it were in my [.low

render it impossible. I have had the honor
of an acquaintance with .Mr. Lewis in Con

i a whig, we generally agreed on all important
measures, such as the Tariff, Distribution,
Cite.. on which questions 1 .-till think we were
both right. There was one que-fion we dil
fered on, the Rank and IS ui,-Treasury, and

we were i>olh wrong on that question. My
acquaintance with Air. Reiser,at the bar. has

Gentlemen —l am sorry i cannot be present
with you on the 22d; you have my best wish
es, and you will have my vote—all I can give.
1 knew Mr. Uo k in C ongress; he is an honest
man—a pure Republican, attached to South
ern rights and win serve you faithfully. Von
do not overrate the importance of the crisis,
it is the same as that of ’‘3B—'33, involving
i the same principles and very near.y the same
; questions; the modern Feuerahsts in nothing
1 differ from their predecessors ol that day. —
■ The genera! tee fire principle is their iunda
-1 menial one, aim the rule ol their construction,
ihe occasion may he wanting or they would
give us alien or sedition laws withllie same
nearly good will. They are not ashamed of
the name, although ttiey once eschewed it,
and tin-}’ may boast o! their ultraism when
they have the hardihood to invite from the
norlh tiie statesmen of th it school to teach
i politics to the rising generations of the South,
1 as if tiie Euuth were in her A, B, C’s. Ttiey
I are as effectually co-opc rating with England
(on the Texas question,) to abolish slavery
throughout the word, us if they were ani
| mated by the same spirit of about ion whicii is
known to animate bum England and the \orlii
ern Whigs. Amv, gentlemen,as 1 liave never
in the course of my life given countenance or
counsel by word or deed to the doctrines and
opinions of this party, you cannot, 1 trust, im
: a»me that in my old age I could take them,
even if there were in tiie wor.d no party pro
fessing better principles. Vour own princi
ples, as you profess taem, are antagonistica!,
! are sound Republican principles, as sound us
the Republican principles of '9B, and wiiether
1 belong to any party or not, 1 can cordially
j co-operate with you to overthrow the one and
re-establish tiie other. 1 wish with all my
heart, gen lenten. 1 had more than my own
poor voce to offer.
As to tiie new question which lias arisen
and now become one of the issues between
the parlies, 1 cannot but express my amaze
i ment, taat any degree of infatuation should
| have led the Federal party of the South, even
seemingly or by any indirection or construc
tion, to countenance the design of England
upon Texas. Tiie threat of England is the
most impudent, impious and wicked that ever
emanated from the cabinet of a civilized gov
ern-11011; —there is no precedent for it among
barbai a.is. The Saracens did not make war
: to pro,.-agate even their religion, but making
i war they used it for that purpose; but lire
Saracens whilst they offered tne sword, olfer
; ed the alternative us tribute. England, less
Christian than tiie Saracens, withholds even
| tiie tribute, and win he satisfied with nothing
hut “ the pound of flesh”—tiie last drop of
hood. Why, gentlemen, tiie Jews, in the
height of their prosperity, (although, idolatry
was detestable in the sigul of Gud, their Gov

Messrs. Editors:
Do request your neighbor of the Chronicle,
i to keep cool and look about him a little, before
j he makes up his mind to burst with indigna
| t' on * l ‘ j e gross libel “manufactured” to
i prove tiie electioneering duplicity of Mr.
C lay. Ido not retain tiie newspapers 1 rpad,
hut have seen the “manufactured” extract
twenty limes in as many different papers, and ,
have no doubt the indignant editor has seen il I
| "dee as if ten. I took it from Mr. Fisher's I
speech, who used it as an extract from some j
letter, or some speech'!f Mr. Clay: though as j
extracts ol several letters were before me, I
may have placed the extract to the wrong i
head. And pray, what difference does it make |
whether the extract should have been quoted
from the letter to Bronson or some other let
ter? The speech of Mr. Fisher was deiiv
ered in Lou is vide under the very nose of Mr.
Clay, and lias been extensively republished
in different States; what sinister object could !
any “infamous locofoco” have had in “manu- j
facturing” an extract from Bronson’s letter, j
j which has been published perhaps in every I
! newspaper in the Stair!
Now, I would ask Mr. Jones in all serious- 1
ness, w hether he himself, on reflection, does '
not believe that none but the veriest kumbua
n
I.udt ever undertook to mislead a community,
under pretence of enlightening it, would have
made such an outbreak upon a mere quibble,—
not affecting the merits of the case or <f his
candidate! Does he expect from this fussy
l stop-lhiet strategy, to divert public attention
from his own inconsistency, or that cf Mr.
j Clay! Let him strike out, if he pleases, tiie
obnoxious extract, and Mr. Clay is left pre- '
ci.-ely where he wotnd be with its use. There
still remains for the south , a plain, direct,
; unequia>cal declaration that he had sustained
j li 1 e compromi.-e, and nould do in future. —
And anolher/or the north, that he would
j not, —but would sustain the tan IF of 1842,
which is the most fradulent protective tariff’
we have ever had, and which all admit to be
a flagrant violation of the compromise from
beginningto end.
In conclusion; I would ask the editorofthe
Chronicle one question. Hud lie ever read
j anywhere, the extract used? If he had, he
knew, that it had not been “manufactured” hy
your correspondent or by you. And if he had
read it before, I would then ask him how
much credit an editor is entitled to with the
public, who will deliberately assent and pub
lish a falsehood, knowing it lobe such? If the
editor had not road it before, why his igno
rance and indolence fully account for that Rip-
Van-VVinkleism—on the subject of the tariff,
especially, which is so amusing to Ids oppo
j nents, and so mortify mg to his friends.*

jCOMMCMCATED.j
Mr. Editor, —Vour correspondent, 11. L.
! Gamble., has certainly been very anxious to
j appear before the public to correct misrepre
i sentalions. He pretends to copy from the
; Constitutionalist, to which he says he has
had access. “Col. Gamble v, ;ts invited to
| this celebration, (moaningone at Waynesbo
; ro) and sent the follow ing to.; -t.” Now, Mr.
i Editor, what will your readers think of the
! (Colonel’s misrepresentations, while he is ccn
-1 suring those of others? lie makes a case to
i combat. He is alleged by "Monitor'' to have
! sent a toast, not the three toasts, which were
: enumerated as given at Waynesboro, and
j which the Colonel represents to be one.—
l The paper from which lie pretends to quote,
says simply, that -Col. Gamble was invited to
; this celebration." (intending thus to identify
j him with the bud company he kept) “and
; sent a toast, not th ■ fallowing toast. The
i three toasts, which he lias jumbled into one,
I I suppose, lor the purpose of increasing the
size of the wind-mill he ;s combatting, were
; given by veritable ilesli and blood at Wavnes
| boro, now veritable v. bigs, praising the poli
* cy T , from whose oppression they were then
I ready to peril this union to escape—some of
those, it may he, in whose breeches, coat and
; jacket, Mr. Clay was shot and burnt in etli
i gy. Their n tines are not given, because
j they are private men, without Col. Gambles
■ ambition to figure in public.
Col. Gamble s chief object in seeking vour
paper appears to have been to throw before
tiie public again the wishy-washy, mawkish
stuff, which forms bis* toasts at Waynesboro
and Louisville—which ho savs were given in
reference to the “dangerous, disorganizing,
revolutionary course of »South Carolina
against the Tariff net of 183-2.” Were your
n.tnds clean then, Colonel/ What did you
mean by yonr fSlatc interposition in vour Ict
j ter to the Richmond committee? You were
| a “■Georgia Nullilier” you said. Bah! Yes,
Colonel, you and your present associates, then
mean enough to stand aloof and clap your
j hands white you lelt ail the danger of opposi
tion to others, have proved yourselves mean
er still by ttuningyour backs on all the prin
ciples that then distinguished you, and now
( advocate the w hole scheme of measures,
which, with the indignation of freemen, you
then stampt beneath your feet.
And the Colonel prayd, it seems, (I have
forgotten whether in his letters or toasts) and
find was pleased to hear and answer through
the instrumentality of Henry Clay and his
compromise bill! That compromise bill, to
which he was forced, and to which he agreed
expressly on the ground, that, if the manulac
i taring interest did not lake what that bid cave
I
j them, they would, probably at the very next
! session, be dej rived of every thing in the way
I of protection. This and its recognition of the
| hateful principle for ten years were his avovv-
I cu motives, on record, tor agreeing to the
I compromise mil, in which theiSonth acquies
ced in preference to violent measures, and, in
I.ope, the chapter of accidents might, in the
mean time, furnish a remedy in which ail
mightconcnr.
And what-a most wonderful discovcrv the
Colonel has made! James K. Polk and
George M. Dallas, the Democratic nominees
for President and Vice President, both voted
for the tariff of 1832! says the Colonel.—
What a brilliant evidence of Lis genius for
; discovery ! There w ere several other El Do
j rados, rich sources of misrepresentation, it is
I surprising he sailed by. It is a wonder, he
; had not discovered that Polk voted against
i the Pension hill, and against giving wood to
the poor ol \\ ashington and Georgetown in a
I season of distress, and that Dallas voted for
I a bank of the United States! Will the Coic
; riel allow me to correct his misreprosenta
| tions and those of his colleagues? Or will
; lie contend it is no misrepresentation, so to
I state a case as to leave out the principal fact
which is necessary to explain it? For in
stance, Polk voted against the Pension bill,
because it did not go jar enough and include
the widows and orphans if poor soldiers. —
Polk voted against the distribution of wood
| by Congress to the poor of the District of Co
i lumbia. because (Congress had not the power
I thus to appropriate the public funds, hut offered
i his daily pay (f eight dollars, and called upon
| the House if liepresenfatiees to follow his ex
ample. And Mr. Dallas voted for a bank of
| the f nited States, under the instructions if
the Pennsylvania Leg islatvre. And they both
; voted for the tariff of 183 2, because it wets a
j modij:ration if the “bill rs abominations'' if
I 1828 , and look of by calculation .$10,000,000
from the public burdens. Suppose they had
voted against if, as did all the Georgia dele
; gation except Forsyth and Wavne, what
would they have voted for? To continue the
! oppressive duties of 1828. If they had voted
j for the continuance of the tariff of 1828, per
haps it might have better suited the then, as
j oil as the present views of the Colonel and
his compatriots; for in 1832 they proscribed at
; the Athens meeting Forsyth and Wayne for
■ removing by their voles $10,000,000 from the
j burdens of the people. The Colonel consid
’ ered, in his Richmond county letter, the tariff
: of 1832, moderate as it was when compared
| with that of 1828, and moderafeas it is, when
! compared with that of 1542, “oppressive, un
| equal in its operation and unconstitutional in
its effects, and therefore, ought not to be bind-
