"WHIG TEXT-BOOK, OR DEMOCRA
CY UNMASKED TO THE PEO
PLE OF THE U. STATES."
The above is the caption of an address pur
porting to give the people of the United Stale
an idea of the abuses which were practised
under Mr Van Burcu's administration, and
at the same time identifying the name of Col.
Polk as having opposed the bill tor the sup
pression of the slave' trade. The address has
been prepared under the superintendence of
the Whig Ceutral Committee ; and those
pinks of consistency in morals and religion,
Jacob aud George S. Gideon, ate the prin
ters. That the people of the United States
may not be deceived by such wholesale lies,
it ia necessary, and an imperative duty to our
country impels us, to let them know who the
individuals are that compose this " tVhig
Ctritral Committee," located at the seat ot
Government for the purpose of abusing the
fianking privilege, in the hope of electing Mr
Clay, even at a sacrifice of honor and pnuci
pie. Willis Green and Garrett Davis, both
members of Congress from the State of Ken
tacky, visit the packing room every day to
frank such documents as may be presented
to them by the following named individuals,
who have been employed by them to "codify'1'
and compile a mass of lies; and a more
suitable selection could not have been made :
Tobias Walking, a late defaulting Auditor
uuvici jir judu Qutucy Adams' administra
tion, aud a libeller of Gen. Jackson ; John L
Dorsey, the late bearer of despatches to Mex
ico, appointed by Mr Webster, and who, it i.i
repotted, lost his despatches in New Oileaus
while enjoying himself with Bacchus, the god
of wine; James IS Harvey, au individual who
was a clerk in the Treasury Depmtment un
der Mr Speucer, and who made loud profes
sions of friendship for Mr Tyler, but who, al
the same time, was writing letters abusive of
his administration to the whig papers through
out the Union. This individual is recognized
among the journeymen printers as a rat a
cognomen which purports a disgrace lo tbe
profession. Mr John L Dorsey, previous to
Mr Webster's retiring from the State Depart
ment, nud while he (Mr W.) was thundering
forth his anathemas against Mr Clay in edito
rial comments, was writing vindications of
Ulr Tyler's administration. Now, forsooth,
because be did not succeed, by his duplicity,
in procuring an office from Mr Tyler, he is
employed lo "codify" political lies against
Messrs Polk and Van Bureu, aided and as
sisted by Tobias Watkius, who is well known
to the American people. We should never
have condescended to have mentioned the
names above alluded to, if our duty to o.;r
country did nut demand it. The source
whence this "Whig Text-Book" emanated is
indeed a commentary of itself, and when the
people shall have understood who they are,
the antidote will be sufficient to make it te
coil upon those who have prepared it for oth
er. Under the caption of Extravagance in tbe
Florida war, they have compiled a large num
ber of items to show that they were extrava
gant ; but they failed to tell tbo people that
the mouey was disbursed by officers of the
army, two-thirds of whom are federalists, aud
that tbe .money was appropriated by Congress.
They asserted in 1640 that the President's
mansion was extravagantly furnished, and
that he used "gold spoons ;" but no sooner
than Gen. Harrison was inaugurated, than
$6000 was appropriated to furnish his bed
chamber, which was too extravagantly furn
ished under Mr Van Buren. Ob, truth, thou
art a virtue ! " Ob, consistency, thou art a
jewel!''
The African slave trade waj abolished un
der Mr Jefferson's adrniuistration, which was
long before Col. Polk left his Alma Jllattr ;
therefore it was impossible for him to have
voted against tbe bill for tbe suppression of
the slave trade, when he was not in public
life. Oh, whiggery, how consistent thou art !
In 1840 Mr Van Buren was charged with
Vls.Vltltf 1 1 ! i Ml art ill . nuiilimnn ( n I. a
tiiken, on a court-martial against Lieut. Hooe,
of the Navy. This was done to gain votes
in the South ; but now, as tbe signs of the
times are ominous hi that quarter, for the de
feat of whiggery, you have thrown out a feeler
for the abolitionists, by attempting to make it
appear that Col. Polk voted against the sup
pression of the slave trade, which law was
upon the statue-book before he entered public
life. You may depend upon it, the abolition
ists understand your game ; aud they are not
to be caught with such stuff, emanating from
slave-holders, as you all are. The South,
and particularly Kentucky, whence you come,
should profit by the past.
During the last ression of Congress the
Ws. I. ' W . - l
iautaiore convention met: wneu it was
thought ly the whig party thai Mr Van Bureu
would be the nominee of tbe democratic party,
Mr 11 afoin a pink of whiggery from the
State of Illinois published n speech with a
cut representing Mr Van Bureu presiding at
an election as one of the judges, driving away
two revolutionary soldiers, and inviting two
dandy negroes to come forward and deposite
their ballots. This was intended for the
south ; but the democratic parly disconcerted
your operations by nominating James K Polk
and these libels, which had been prepared
in anticipation againM Mr Van Buren, fell
still-born upon your bauds. They were of
no use.
Dt3- There are rumors of bloody doings,
says the N. O. Picayune, in Shelby and Har
rison counties, Texas, near the Louisiana
line. Tbe " Moderators" and "Regulators,"
as they term themselves, are arrayed agniusl
each other, and number about two hundred
each. Several persons have been killed,
houses burned, and plantations destroyed.
This is truly a horrible state of things.
Since writing the above we learn that one
Davis, (he leader of the " Regulators," has
been shot, with 12 or 15 others. It is further
slated, that Gen. Henderson was about to leave
Shreveport to use his influence to bring about
en arrangement of the difficulties.

A LETTER FROM MR VAN BUREN.
The Nashville Union publishes the follow
ing letter from Mr Van Buren, in reply t. an
invitation to attend the Democratic Mass
Meeting at Nashville, on the 15th inst.:
Lindenwald, July 29, 1S44.
Gentlemen : I have to thank you for your
kind invitation to attend a Mass Meeting of
the Democracy of Tennessee, to bo held at
Nashville on the 15th of August.
It will not, I regret to inform you, be in my
power to be with you persona'ly, but you may
rest assured that my best wishes will attend
vour noble efforts to re-establish the ascendan
cy of democratic principles iu tbe councils of
the nation. This is not said from a spirit of
courtesy only, but conveys the earnest aud un
disguised sentimeut of my heart, which has its
foundation in a conviction, that the success of
the meu nud the principles you support is ne
cessary to the welfare of the couutry. My
opinion of the character of our candidates, in
cluding Teunesseo's unassuming aud highly
meritorious son, has already been given to the
public and need not be repeated. - It is equal
Iv unnecessary to say, that there is not among
the numerous friends of those gentlemen one
who cherishes a more disinterested desire for
their individual welfare than I do. There
ar besides uublic interests involved in the
coming contest, which have claims upoti our
consideration, far beyond such as are of a per
sonal character.
- It is scarcely too much to say that the per
manent success fir final overthrow of those
distinctive principles for the administration of
the government, which constitute Ihe demo
cratic creed are suspended upon the result of
the approaching election. Although jutly re
garded as the promised fruits of our struggle
for national independence, it is nevertheless
true that those principles did not acquire that
influence m all the departmeuu ot the govern
ment, to which they were so well emitted, on
til after what was appropriately called th civil
revolution of 1800. and from that day -to the
present there has been au uninterrupied strug
gle for their expulsion from the foothold they
had thus ncquued. Iu this struggle, so loiijr
I'outiuued, and with such varied success, they
have arrayed against ihem that active aud uu-
dyiug spirit, by which the conduct of a por
tion of mankind has at all times and every
where beeu cuided, aud which regards ihe
powers '.f government as misapplied, when
its burthens are diffused ainoug Ihe people iu
equal pmpmtions, aud by an impartittl hand
Although the luminous aud earnestly patriotic
miud of Mr JifFntsou exerted n principal iigen
cy in their conception aud successfuluitfiiu
aud although ihepuhlic miud was slontly agi
tated bv the establishment of the hrt Hank o
(he United States, and tbe principles then
avowed by its leading advocates as also by
some of Ihe leading measures of Ihe adminis
tration of the elder Adams, yet the teal charac
ter and nraclicul lendeiicy of the conflicting
principles which have been eutettained by the
two great parties which have divided the couu
try since the establishment of the Federal
Constitution, were never so thoroughly Bp
predated by the great body of the people as
during the adrniuistration of General Jackson
aud that which immediately followed. Indif
ferent about forms, but ever anxious, I might
eren say impatient, tor results, and nnngiug
to the consideration of every public question a
clear head, an honest heart, aud truly indom
itable spirit, that extraordinary man carried
out the principles of his party with so igorous
a band, and dealt his blows upon opposing
heresies with sucb rapidity and force, as not
only to bring the parties themselves to the
closest quarters-, but also to lead al! classes
aud conditions of men lo a more earnest con
sideration of the principles and deigus of the
opposing parties, than had been before bestow
ed upon them.
The struggle thus produced leached its cri
sis in the course ot ine lour preceaing years.
Never had the masses of tbe democratic por
tion of the people been mado so deeply sensi
ble of the objectiouablc character ol the doc
tiiues which they had hitherto opposed ; and
uever before were those who have at all times
preferred a goverument of associated wealth,
to oue founded on popular sovereignty aud
practically controlled by the will of the masses,
so thoroughly convinced of the necessity of
immediate and efficient exertions to save their
priuciples from total overthrow. The con
flict of such interests, and thecollisiou of such
sentiments in a wilderness of free miuds, gave
a character to the contest which, though per
haps to be expected, will, it is hoped, never
be repeated. Means which will, without
doubt, iu the course of time, lose all their apol
ogists, were by ou' adversaries brought to
bear upon a public opintou already to some
extent unsettled by many years of severe po
litical agitation.
These were, iu the sequel, powerfully aided
by derangements in the business relations of
the country, occasioned by uuexampled abises
of the credit system, which, though they per
vaded all commercial nations, aud are now
universally known to have been occasioned
by individual improvidence and mismanage
ment, were, at the time, with too much sue
cess attributed lo a mal-admiuistratiou of pub
lic affairs. I he Democracy of the uation,
thougn thoroughly united, were signally over
thrown, and many an honest miud, contract
ing the means employed with the result pro
auceo, was, tor ine momeui, lea to aouot Ihe
capacity of our people for self-government.
On my own mind, no such impressions ob
tained even a temporary foothold. I was. on
the contrary, well satisfied that as soon as tho
discoutents which had been engendered by
long continued and artfully contrived ogrta
lion bad been allowed t lino to subside; and
when. our adversaries should be compelled to
advance from words to actions the public
mind would forthwith, and by its own honest
impulses, right itself. This sanguine ex pec
latioii has been fully realized. The results
of the elections which have taken place since
the extra sessiou of 1841, viewed as a whole.
have clearly ahowu that this opinion did no
more than justice to the democratic parly ;
and sure I am, that the work which they have
so well begun will not be left unfinished. Ex
traordinary efforts have since, it is true, secur
ed paitial successes to our adversaries in lim
ited, and, to some extent, doubtful quarters ;
but nothiug has occurred that should shake
our confidence in the speedy and complete re-
establishment of democratic principle.

It mizht aeem aupernuous tor one wnose

of an occasion, been devoted lo the support of
Democratic principles woo embraced tnem
with tho ardor of youth, and clutig to them

the ground by adverse power- lo say, these
are results, the consummation of which he
earnestly desires to witness. Other import
ant advantages may be also anticipated from
the accomplishment of such a victory. If
might, if properly improved, be made to pro
duce that degree of unanimity and quiet
a .lion g the people, as well as in our public
councils, of which the country has so long
been deprived. There is every reason to be
lieve, that a very large proportion of our ad
versaries have, by ihe course of eveuts and
the developemeuis of ihe last few years, be
come satisfied that the principles aud policy
of tho democratic party, if not best adapted to
a wise and successful adrniuistration of the
Federal Governoient. are at all events, so far
iu harmony with ibe natural and spontaneous
seutimetits of a majority of the people, lhat
they cannot be kept dowu without an unusual
resort to means which experience ba shown
are greatly injurious to society, mid briug dis
credit upon republican iusiitutii-ns, for which
even the success of ibeir favniiia theory could
not adequately atone. Reflections of it. is na
ture are, I doubt not, at this inotieut, gradual
ly maturing au opinion iu tho an Us of our
opponents. The feeling may not he avowed,
or eveu acted upon to any great extent in the
approaching election ; but it is, to my miud,
quite ceitaiu, that it may be brought into lull

J H. CLAY'S CODE OF MORALS. I
People of the United States I the following
infamous, impious, and blasphemous declare
iton was made by Mr Clay, in the House of
Repiesentatives, on the 24ih of March, 1S20,
in his speech upon the mission to . South
America":
" Yes, sir, from Constantinople to the Bra
zils ; from Turk or Christian ; from black or
white ; from the Dey of Algiers or the Bey of
Tunis; from the devil himself, if bo wore
a crown, we should receive a minister."
How reckless must be tbe man who uttered
such a sentiment 1' and what hardihood he
must bave to call upon a virtuous and Chris
tian people to place him iu tbe Presidential
chair ! Henry Clay has dared to declare that
a President of this country ought to receive a
minister from even the "devil," if be had a
crown in this world. And for what? Minis
ters are sout to promote the interests and pros
perity ot the goveruineut that sends them, and
are received as comiug from a government,
authorized to treat upon the subject for which
they are sent, which must be legitimate, ac
cording to the laws of nations. Will Mr
Clay persist in his impious asse: lion, lhat tbe
reoreseulativo of vice, aud the opponent of
every Ihiug virtuous, ought to be listened to
by our government 1
"Go it Tip, and coma it Ty."
The following geutlumen bave handed ut
their names, requesting us to st.de, that they
voted for General Harrison, aud did all they
could to secure his election, but they have be

Extract of a leltrr, dated
blcuoenviile, Ohio, July 30, 1S44.
Political excitement is raging in this sec-
tiou to tbe hihe.-t degree ; both paities are
animated, aud bo'h apparently sure of victory,
although, it must be confessed, the federalists
are badly scared. They are using every exer
tion to carry Ibis senator ial district. Tbe
democrats are equally active ; they erected iu
this plice, ihe other day, two splendid young
hickor ypoles one 90, the other 1 10 feet high,
uuspllced. I have seen a number ol person
from the iuferior of the State, aud if the ac
counts they give are but one-hull' true, we will
carry Ohio by a large majority. Most, if nut
all the seceders in l$36aud 1840 are coming
buck to the democratic ranks, aud, as usual,
arc Ihe wannest and loudest in support of their
first love.
The following is oue of the many par
tizan lies, that like a cat, h is uine, yea, a hun
dred lives. Let us kill it once more :
From the Delaware Journal.
Hear what Mr Jefferson said of Mi Clay :
As for Clay, I consider him to be one of
the most laleuled aud brilliant men and states
men that the country ever produced ,- aud
should 1 live many years longer, I hope to see
him hold the place of chief executive of the
American republic ! His career thus far iu
life has beeu a career of glory ; aud he has
achieved that for his couutry, whilst engaged
in htscsreer, whnh would ornament the bright
est place in the escutcheon of the most favored
statesman of auy age or ualiou."
The paragraph was proved by the Richmond
Enquirer to be a forgery wheo.it first appear
ed ; and the forgery was finally confessed by
the person who committed ii a Mr South
worth, we think, of Boston. Every man, in
deed, who had any appreciation of Thomas
Jefferson as a politician, and as a writer of
the English language, pronounced this bun
gling piece of stuff a forgery at sight. Mr
Jefferson entertained and expresssed very dif
ferent opinions of Mr Clay, even before Mr
C. abandoned Ihe republican party, aud voted
in violation of ihe wishes of his constituents,
for John Quiucy Adams. Thomas Mann
Randolph, Mr Jefferson's sou-iu-law, who
lived at Monticello during the last 15 or 20
years of Mr Jefferson's life, ihus records his
opinions:
"Towards Mr Clay, as a politician, Mr
Jefferson constantly manifested a strong re
pugnance, and often said he was merely h
splendid orator, without any valuable know
ledge from experience or study, or nuy deter
mined public principles, founded iu sound po
litical science, either practical or theoretical.
" With this impression on my miud, I left
Mr Clay at Monticello, when I went to ihe
legislature three days before tbe meeting of the
electoral colleges in December, 1824. I had
heard some little discussion between him and
Mr Jefferson, upon those important points of
constitutional doctrine upon which they differ
ed so widely."

stales that letters have been received from

lishment of a colooy of Americans, composed
of six hundred persons, who have fixed their
residence upon the banks of lbs Sacramento,
with tbe apparent design of usurping tbe lands
of ihe republic. A. Y. Tru 5u.
The following notice of British interference
in tbe affairs of Texas, appears in a late num
ber of the Houstou (Texas) Telegraph :
"We now learn, upon the authority of Capt.
Elliot himself, "that England has advised
Mexico under no crctimance to acknowl
edge the independence of Texas, but to keep
up an armistice with her as long as possible;
and iu case a successful attempt at annexa
tion between the United Slates aud Texas
took place, then go to tear, and England
would back her in the contest." This con
firms us in the opinion we bavu long enter
taiued, that our indeendence will never be
acknowledged by Mexico while there is a
prospect of annexation. Eogland will resist
this measure as long as it can be resisted by
diplomacy. And oor government journal ad
mits thai, 4 tho influence of England over
Mexico is almost if not entirely unbounded.'"
Another view or Clatism. Henry Clay
uever exhibited an instance of a more ob
noxious, teveugeful partizan spirit than when,
Feb. 1S42, he proposed in the Senate, th-.l the
shares of Land monies which, under the dis
tribution act, wern going to Stales which de
clined to receive them, should be given ab
solutely to any ether Stales willing to lake
them. He and his parly had argued, as they
now do, lhat these shares were debts due the
Stales in equity and good faith. Very well.
Bui some of ihe States (Virginia aud others)
thought differeutly and preferred lhal iheir por
tions should ren sin in the National Treasury,
a "common fund," accorditig lo the terms of
cession, to answer the demands of Govern
ment, aud save tbe country, pro tanlo, from
increased luxation. No! said Mr Clay; the
federal government shall not have these funds,
even by consent of those who ure lawfully en
titled to receive them ; and if ihe Stales to
which they belong do not come aud gel them,
they shall 20 to Kentucky and such others, as
shall make tbe first rush upon tbe public cof
fers ! Nay, he even denounced the Stales
which deciiued to take iheir shore?, as having
hear it NULLirixo the laws of the laud!
