BriUsU Wfciss and British Inflneucti We call the attention of every friend of the purity of elections, to the startling assertions contained iu the following article from the $ew Yoik herald, a whig paper: 'The clique in Wall street have long been endeavoring to obstruct all the movements of ail thnse capitalists who have entered the mar ket for the negotiation of State securities. They have also made alarming strides to wards monopolizing the direction of the financial aiTuirs of this State, and have suc ceeded to an extent which already endangers its credit. Since the agency of the Uuited Sates Bank has been taken from the house of the Barings, their efforts to obtain a footing in this country, in order to establish a sort of rivalry to that institution ia the negotiation of State stocks have been unceasing. To do this, they appointed Prime, Ward & King their agents iu this city, and Mr Bates, the juaior partner of the London house, became a large stockholder in the Bank of Commerce. Ice movements of the clique, we have before alluded to, their forced imports of specie, &c. After the establishment of this agency, the Lext object was to obtain a political influence in the St ite government, COThis was ob tained in the liberal use of money in election eering expenses during the election of 1838, which changed the administration of this State. The Wall street clique and their fiiends, it is estimated, paid out 650,000, one half of which was in all probability, paid by the London house, the head of which is bow the chancellor of England. 3" The re suit was the triumph of the opposition, and from that moment commenced those gigantic systems of expenditure, which if persevered in, will involve the State in an expense of 860,000,000, all of which is to pass through the hands of the clique, and the attendant bu siness, in the hands of their friends. "The stocks which have thus far been is sued, have been uniformly negotiated with "rime, V ard and King, sometimes in open violation of the law, and at others for less than the stocks would with judicious manage ment bring ia the open market. Every move- ieii oi me fetate officers aims at increasing &e State debt ; and the insatiable maw of the clique swallows all that can be created ; many of the stocks of the other States have gone ia the same channel. When the market la London flagged, Daniel Webster, who previously had obtained a loan through the ;"TJe nere, was emploved to publish his opin 10a in order to puff them."

Har rison beat Allen in those twenty counties 4276 votes. Supposing that they should do no better tdis year than they did iu 1S3S, Reynolds' majority over Clark would amount to 7213.

Stoblc Sentiments from the right Quarter The following sentiment was transmitted by Mr Buchanan, to the Democrats of Wor cester, Mass., in answer to an invitation to attend their celebration which his pressing official duties would not permit him to do. It is an appeal of gold, aud carries out, we are sure, the feelings of our intelligent Democ racy. The Laboring Classes.

We are informed that a political missionary in town, caught a tartar yesterday on the wood stand. He offered a man who asked $2 5U for a load of wood, 84, to be paid when Van Buren should be re-elected. 'Done says the woodman, and I should like to haul for you all the time on the same terms.' The missionary, however declined concluding the bargain, as it was rather a small matter.

John Mat son, Associate Judge of Hamilton, Ohio, and George Gordon Esq., formerly Register of Hamilton county, to prove that Geueral Ha rrison has always belonged to the demo cratic party." Troy Whig. "John C. Wright is the editor of the Cin cinnati Gazette, the leading Harrison journal in Ohio." Ib. We have quite often, within a few days past, quoted from a paper published in this city during Mr Jefferson's Admiuistration, by John C. Wright, as illustrative of the editor's claims to democracy of the "Jeffersonian School," as well as the propriety of such a "republican" as he is claimed to be, endors ing the democracy of the federal candidate of the Presidential chair. These extracts furnish so complete an expose of the hypo critical pretensions of the federalists, we are disposed to continue them a little farther. What we have already quoted has doubtless been considered by our readers, and justly too, as disgraceful to any man who would be considered an American citizen, but the fol lowing will be considered only as worthy of the authorship of a child of ihe infamous one whom it has the impiousness to laud above one of America's noblest sons. The follow ing occupies a conspicuous place under the editorial head of John C. Wright's paper of May 17, 180S : "A libel on the Devil. Among the scat tering votes officially returned at the late election in this county, Genet had two, Tom Jefferson one, Tom Paine one, and the Devil one, all, I believe, as members of the Assem bly. Now, for my own part, I do not profess to feel a very great degree of friendship either for the Devil, Jefferson, Paine, or Genet; but I must say that I think it manifests a very great want of respect for the Devil. Not in his Satanic Majesty's having a less number of votes than Genet, (though I should have said, 'give the devil his due,') nor, indeed, in having been nominated to represent his re publican brethren in the General Assembly ; but to have been run ou the same ticket with Jefferson, Paine and Genet ! faith, that must be morttjytng I hen the news gets to the devil's ears, he will probably have a word or two to say as to the waut of distinction be tween ruler and ruled. 1 suppose the object of the voter in giving the devil's name, was to have, at least, one popular candidate on his ticket." During Mr Jefferson's administration, J. C. Wright and his federal coheagues resorted to the same cry to effect his overthrow which they now do to prevent the re-election of Mr Van Buren. We are always ruined accord ing to these federal panic howlers. Read the following from John C. Wright's paper of July, 1808, which are moderate specimens : "Thomas Jefferson. The Johnsons and Sampsons have been driven from their posts; the navy is diminished and rotten commerce is annihilated the sources of revenue are cut off aud the 'manufacturer and farmer are planted side by side,' to bewail each other's ruin." "Our ships all in motion, Once whitened the ocean, They sailed and returned with a cargo Now doomed to decay, They have fallen a prey To Jefferson, worms and embargo." During thfi whole of the summer of 1808. John C. Wright's paper was literally filled with matter similar to that we have above quo ted the most outrageous abuse of Mr Jeffer son. Mr Madison, and the measures and poli cy of the democratic party. We could fill a page ot our paper every day until alter me election with extracts of this character. But what we have already given will amply sub- A ii i J serve ibe purpose tor wnicn we nave maue quotations. We will conclude our extracts for the present, with a few of the toasts drank at federal celebrations about the country, and rnnied into his naoer by the illustrious asso ciate of Wm. Henry Harrison, with unquali fied approbation : "Thimas Jefferson President ofa parly- He will retire on the fourth of March next, with two hundred thousand dollars of the peo ple's money in his pocket.

An t he to s on wiih numerous cases, such as "h- w the credit stnn i ffects a young man eeitmg up in life," who borrows money from his friends. "How the credit system pffLcts the honest and ftronj, though poor man, who goes with no esiatw but his axe and rifle on his shouiiier into ihe westc rn wild ernes.-!," who haying ciiosen his resting spot, goes to his nearest neighbor to "negotiate foi seed, pijs, fowls, a cow, perhaps a yoke of osen a!l on credit, for still he has no money.' Now we would like to know, what all this has to do with the "crisis of the country." But by turning further over, we bein to find out that he wants a "change" in the administration of the Government, and to that end insinuates that Mr Van Buren is positively going to prevent all our merchants from selling their goods without the cash down no man hall be master of his own; we shan't borrow money from Ihe "barber's," or from each other. Our good neigh bor will not even loan us a "drinking of tea." A horrid state of thing?, Mr Van Buren ; that you are going to upturn and turn up society in this way. We wonder seriously, what the feds wont want to 8tufT us with next ? "Junius" thinks he proves very conclusively, that the Sub-Treasury is a great Governmr-nt Bank; ia Ejoing to swallow up all the State Banks we don't expect to sea a vestige of one, twelve! months hence. He makes wonderful discoveries, too, as he goes alon. He finds out, that the man who in the days of the banks received one dollar a day, will now receive only 33 cents, or two-thirds. "Beef, potatoes, corn, wheat and flour," and in fact, every necessary of life will be reduced to two-thirds of the present price. Well, now let's ask the workingmen them selves, (supposing for a moment it were a fact,) what difference it makes to them, whether they re ceive a dollar a day and it costs them fifty cents to live, or whether they 'get 33 cents and they can lire for 15 cents according to his own shewing. Pro found reasoning, Mr Junius ! Try it again. Read the article "General Harrison's Democra cy," in another column. The man who can read this, and not feel an honest indignation, that such a Robespierean as John C.Wright, should at this day be called a "staunch republican" by any press in this country, is lost to all sense of democracy. "Staunch Republican!" The man who reviled the immortal J ff'-rson---coupling Jefferson and the devil ; But what is worse than all, after charging him with fawning, cringing and servilely adoring "Mount Vernon's mighty chief" he eays : "If, when the Ides of M&rnh are gone, "Within these hillowed limits thou appear. Back ti thy cave in Carter's mount I drag thee Chained and sealed thee there It will Leak Oat Z That business is flourishing. That money is be coming plenty, in spite of bank contractions. The New York and other northern (whig) papers fre quently "kt the cat out of the bag," that the whig merchants are doing a good business "in spite of themselves." And in all this, cannot the cloven foot of whigery be seen ? They think they will keep up the' cry of ruin ! in rpite of the facts that stare them in the face, until after the election ; and if Harrison is elected, mind, we prcdicr, then the whigs will have "glorious times," "cVery thing straight," business revived," &c, in less than three months. This cry is only kept up at present for the base purpose of party. They know that by keeping up the yell of "hard times," and charging them to Van Buren, they will gain such as will be lieve tbem. and such as will not think for themselves, and perhaps by gulling and lying, and bragging, they will squeeze in "old Tip," and what if they do have to get Clay and Webster to manage the busi ness for him ! hard times will be over then. But will not the divine light of democracy cast its ever radiant rays upon these foul mists and fogs of hypocritical whisgery ? and set forth in bold re lief, to the people, their position ? That they are fast regaining their giant strength that has been so much impaired by their late struggle with the unit ed money monster of England and Amrica. Yes, we trust to the never failing goodness of Providence, that has so long watched over this great people, and has ordained their cause ever to be uppermost We have received (through the attention of some whig friend, no doubt,) a pamphlet of sixteen pages, with the imposing title of "The Crisis of the Coun try. By Junius." Thousands, we suppose, of these vehicles of misrepresentation, and falsehood and nonsense, are afloat among the people, but we are much mistaken in the intelligence of Farmers and Mechanics (upon whom it is evidently intend ed to act) if such silly, worn out, oft told tales, will pven draw a moment's attention. The credit system appears to be the "burden of the song." He commences with HOW THE CREDIT SYSTEM AF FECTS THE POOR. The poor man's family is sick, and he wants a doctor. The doctor comes, and waits till the poor man can pay. He wants medi cine at the apothecary's, and the apothecary does him the same favor. Suppose he can never pay. The doctor and the apothecary can both afford to forgive him the debt ; they consented to the risk ; distress has been re lieved ; and society is benefitted by a volun tax on those who could afford it. Besides, the man may be able to pay and in nine cases out of ten, or in nineteen out of twenty, he will. HOW THE NO CREDIT SYSTEM AFFECTS THE SAME CASE. Thp doctor don't come ; the apothecary re fuses the medicine ; the sick member of the family may live ; but more likelv will die. Tk.rfl is distress aggravated : there is perhaps loss of life ; on one part, there is a sense of unkindness, and ot a want oi numanny, oe- "Oh ! my countrymen ! what a filling off" there musi b , when we find any of you, that ever pre-t- nJed to one sp irk of republicanism, supporting the cause that such a man advocates. His praise of Harrison alone, cou'd nothing else be sa'd, were enough to damn his pretensions, in the estimation of all who ever revered the name of Jefferson ! The hard cider party is g' ttinir very squeamish on the snbj-ct of AboIit;on. The Observer has "read Charles Fisher's Address to the Rowan Central Committee, on the subject of Abolition, endeavor ing by the basest sophistry, tn identify General Har rison with that party." Sophistry ? Call facts so phistry ? But whut wonder; the Observer and the likes of it, would call day night to serve a turn. The " quotations from Abolition papers " which he is so tenacious of seeing published, are death to his cause, and well he knows it, and therefore would he stifle such facts. But so long as we profess to love the country in which we live, and cherish the in stitutions we have adopted, we will spend the last breath in giving the alarm, whenever we perceive such vile machinations in progress, calculated, at some future day to uproot our present social com pact, and turn our now quiet repose into anxious days and sleepless nights. These same 'quotations,' which we charged all to read, show as plain as the light of daj', the character of the whig candidate for the Presidency. They disclose facts that are truly awful in their relation to the destinies of this Union. The Observer says, " come to the point at once, and show by act, word or deed of his " that he is an Abolitionist. We go to the first authority, his own declaration, that he once belonged, and has never forfeited his right of membership to an Abolition or humane society, which are both the same ; and that it was an objoct near his heart, to see the surpluj revenue applied to the liberation of all the slaves; and as if to give them double assurance of his co operation, he tells them hewill"veto no bill congress may choose to pass" though that bill were a bill to abolish slavery in the United States ! Surely it is time we should take warning, ere it is yet too late. Democrat! awake I Open your eyes ! and see the flood of pamphlet stuff, in the shape of " Tippecanoe Text Books," The crisis of the countiy," and others we have seen; concoctions of the basest lies, and perver sions of history, thrust among you by the British tories, and Bank satellites; the printing of which is no doubt paid for with BRITISH GOLD. They call friends, of liberty, for action ! action ! ! action !!! Is there a friend of Republican institutions, that will not exert every influence, from this till November, to counteract these desperate struggles of whiggery? Exertion the most strenuous must be put forth, and and it will be well rewarded in the prevalence of democractic principles over the piebald faction, head ed by Harrison the abolitionist, and Webster the broad constructionist. tn3The vacancy occasioned by tho resignation of Judge Toomer, has been filled by the appoint ment of Wm.
