Election on Monday, 4th Nov. 1844 ) General ficvitw. The Lower Regiment of this county w.n reviewed in this place on Thursday last, by lien. Joshua Barnes. The day was re markably pleasant, and the officers and sol diers made a most gallant and warlike ap pearance. The troops performed various evolutions in a soldierlike-stylc.equally ere tlitable to their officers and themselves, and were justly commended for their good or der and discipline. Slate Elections. The returns from the State elections are trowding in upon us, and are cheering be yond all expectation. - In Georgia, the democratic majority for Governor is about 3000 votes; last year the whig Governor's majority was 3,3S9; Georgia may therefore be safely set down for Polk and Dallas. In Pennsylvania, the democratic candi date for Governor is elected by a majority of 5000 to 7000 votes. In New Jersey, the whigs have succeed ed in electing their candidate for Governor by a majority of about 1500. In Ohio, the whig candidate for Gover nor is probably elected by a small majori ty, the abolitionists generally voting the whig ticket; but the Congressional delega tion will likely stand 13 democrats to S whigs. The Congressional elections which have already taken place for the next Congress, (the Globe says) give 48 democrats, 26 whig", and 2 native Americans. Iisappomt tis; you know oor partiality was for you, next to the Hero, and how much we want a Western President! Im mediately after, a friend of Mr. Crawford will accost me "The hopes of the Repub lican party are concentrated on you; for Gods sake preserve its if you had been re turned, instead of Mr. Crawford, every man of us would have sopported you to the last hour: we consider him and you as the only genuine Republican candidates!" Next, a friend of Mr. Adams comes, with tears in his eyes "Sir, Mr. Adams has al ways had the greatest respect for you, and admiration of youT talents; there is no sta tion to which you are not equal most un doubtedly you were the second choice of New England and 1 pray you to consider seriously whether the public good and your own future interests do not point most dis tinctly to tire choice which you ought to make!" How can one withstand all this disinterested homage and kindness? Re ally the friends of all the three gentlemen are so very courteous and affectionate, that I sometimes almost wish that it was in my power to accommodate each of them; but that being impossible, we are beginning to think seriously of the choice which we must finally make. I will tell you, then, that I believe the contest will be limited to Mr. Adams and General Jackson. Mr. Crawford's personal condition precludes the choice of him, if there were no oiherob jeetion to his election. As the only alter native which is presented to in, it is sufli ciently painful, and I consider whatever choice we may make, will he only a choice of evils. To both of these gentlemen there are strong personal objections. The prin cipal difference between them is, that in the election of Mr. Adams we .shall not, by the example, inflict any wound upon the character of our institutions; but I should much fear hereafter, if not during the pre sent generation, that the election of the General would give to ihe military spirit a stimulus and a confidence that might lead to the most pernicious results. I shall there fore, with great regret, on account of the dilemma in which the people have placed us, support Mr. Adams. My friends are generally so inclined. .What has gieat weight with me, is the decided prefeience which a majority of the delegation from Ohio has for him over Gen. Jackson. If. therefore, Kentucky were to vote for the General, it would possibly only have the effect of dividing our friend.', without de feating ultimately the election of Mr. Ad ams. Three of the four States favorable to Mr. Crawford, are believed to prefer Mr. Adams to the General. Virginia is one of them. I am inclined to think that nearly three-fourths of our delegation have yield ed to the influence of thec views and will vote for Mr. Adams. My friends enler tain the belief, that their kind wishes to wards me will, in the end, be more likely to be accomplished by so bestowing their votes. I have, hQwever, most earnestly entreated them to throw me out of their consideration, in bringing their judgments n i i i . i . i. i i iu a uiiai conclusion, auu 10 iook anu uet guided solely by the public good. If 1 knew mysJF, that vouch for it, but if the matters charged he not true, Mr. Clay's friends will have an opportunity of refuting them : From the Dallas Gazette Extra. Cahawba. Ala., Oct. 8, lb44. Jiwahe, people of the South rise in your majesty and consign Henry Clay to that oblivion which the traitor richly merits. Henry Clay's Protective Policy. We hasten to lay before our readers the following important letter Irom Col. Kus sell P. McCord to B.

We copy it entire, that the reader may st the "position" of Mr. Clay in the presidential contest of 1S24, as defined by himself. We solicit a careful and candid perusal of this letter, and with the histori cal facts before him that Mr. Clay made Air. Adams President, against the known and expressed wishes of his own State, and that immediately thereafter Mr. Adams made him Secretary of State can the rea der hesitate a moment in believing that it was the tempting allurements held out by the friends of Mr. Adams, (which none ol the others proffered,) that Mr. Clay's "own future interes's" would thereby "be more likely to be accomplished," that induced him to consummate the bargain with Mr Adams. should he 1825 ) Washington, th January, lfc24. My dear Sir: I send you by this day' mail, Lord Byron' Conversation, which notwithstanding Mr. Walsh's unfavorable Opinion ol them, I think you will often find piquant, and worth, upon the whole, an extensive perusal: neideslhc literary am critical interest which they posscps, they will have thecnect ot diminishing, though not entirely removing, the odium which he brought upon himself by his conduct to his wife. My position in relation to the friends of the three returned candidates is singular enough, and often to me very amusing. In the first place, ihey all believe that my friends have the power of deciding the question and then, that I have the power of controlling my friends! Acting upon this supposition, in the same hour, 1 am sometimes gently touched on the shoulder by a friend, (for example, of General Jack son,) who will thus address me: "My dear sir, all my dependence is upon you: don't Cord has given, we are prepared at any mo ment to give further proof, should the un believing require it. Carlowville, Oct. 5, 1844. To the Editor of the Dallas Gazette: Vou will oblige me by publishing the en closed copy of a letter, which I have re cently received from Coi. Russell P. Mc Cord, of Lowndes county. Would lo God, it was in the hands of every man, from the Patapsco to the Gulf of Mexico! It exhib its Mr. Clay in his true position, as a man totally destitute of character. But what shall we say of Col. Preston? He believed, in the vear IS3I, that the great object of Mr. Clay, in forcing the pro tective policy upon the country, was, to de stroy the perpetuity of the Southern St3tes he heard Mr. Clay make this declaration in Virginia: and now with this foul and damning blot upon Mr. Clay, this man Win. C. Preston, is using every art and el fort to induce the honet planters of the South to commit the suicidal act of voting for Henry Clay. Shame! shame!'. Read it, Sir -publish it spread il.be fore the people. Let them soe the slate ment, and let them hear the fact the start ling fact, that in the year I S3 1, Henry Clay declared the great object of the Tariff sys tern lo be, to render their slaves so value less, that if they did not run away from their masters, their masters would be glad lo runaway from them. 'I hat Mr. Clay did make the declaration attributed to him by Col. Preston, there can be no doubt; anil there is just as little doubt that Colonel Preston will not deny the statement of Col. McCord. Vith great respect, I am,&c., BERNARD A. REYNOLDS. Lowndes, Ocl. 2, 1S44. Dear Sir: The declaration which I heard Col. Preston make, was to this effect: That at the While Sulphur Springs, in Virginia, Mr. Clay declared, that it ivas true, Congress could not fee our Slaves, hut that they could, by high duties on imports, make thx'm so valueless, that if they did not run away from ust wt should he glad to run away from them; and that that ivas the great object of the Tariff system. Thi declaration was made by Col. Pres- iton in the I all and Winter, I think, ot 1831, and Mr. Clay's remarks were made that Summer. Col.

(CJ-UEAD THIS!J) The last National Intelligencer contains an Address from John Q-iincy Adams to the Whig Young Men's Club of Boston in which Gen. Jackson is pronounced the au thor of a wilful falsehood, and in which also occurs the following sentence: 'Young men of Boston, your trial is ap proaching. The spirit of freedom and the spirit of slavery are drawing together for the deadly conflict of arms. The annexa tion of Texas to this Union is the blast of the trumpet for a foreign, civil, servile and Imfian war, of which the Government of your country, fallen into faithless hands, have already twice given the signal first by a shameless treaty, rejected by a virtu ous Senate; and again by the glove of defi ance, hurled by the apostle of nullification, at the avowed policy of the British empire peacefully to promote the extinction of sla very throughout the world. Young men of Boston: burnish your armor prepare for the conflict, and 1 say to you, in the language of Galgacus to the ancient Britons Think of your forefathers I Think of your posterity I" We have no room lor comments this week. The above language, be it remem bered, comes from a Clay leader at the North, and from a man who was the choice of Mr. Clay for President in 1824 & 1828. mi coun ty, Democrats heard Col. Pres'on make the same declaration, some of them like myself, repeatedly. Yours, truly. R. P. MclORD. B. A. Reynolds, Esq. Truly, this is protection to the South. And this Protective system is the darl ing of Henry Clay. Will Southerners doubt longer, the political inconsistency, yea, even dishonesty of this shujjler, this worse than traitor to his country's weal? Will slaveholders, with this declaration sta ring them in the face, for a moment hesi ta'e what course to pursue? His political character has been uncertain and inconsis tent. But there are those who have insis ted, without even taking time for breath, that Mr. Clay was a friend to the South. Who will dare say so now? Truly, a friend to the South!! A friend ship which would filch from us our proper ty and make desolate our peaceful homes. We call upon our brethren of the Press to spread this matter far and wide. Let the whole South hear! Let all who will, read it. As our paper is not issued Until Satur day, we have adopted this method of giv ing general circulation to this traitorous sentiment of the Whig candidate for the Piesidency. I here is ample time for proof to be obtained to the contrary, if proof can be had; but we have no fears up on that score; the gentlemen whose names are mentioned in Col. McCord's letter, arc sufficient guarantees for the correctness of the statement. Clays favor, we every ,1ay hear or chan- ges aga.nsi n m. . .

Mr. Howard: The Editor of the Raleigh Rp.ristpr. bv travel and observation, says, he has superior opportunities of forming an opinion as to the result of the Presiden .:i fiiotlnn orrt ocnrpj his reader the lol- lowing States are CERTAIN for Clay viz: Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Is land.

Now I know not whether the Editor gives this assurance to rouse the drooping spirits of Whigs;ery, or to discourage Lie mocracy. And to lest Ins sincerity or judgment, 1 will bet him or any other whig the following bets on his certainties. 1st Bet. S10. On each of the Western and So.

'On eich of the Southern States of Virginia, No. Carolina, So. Carolina, Georgia,. Alabama and Louisiana. 3rd. S10 to $20. On each of the Northern and Eastern States, viz: Vermont Maine. New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Mary land 4lh. $50 to $25 Clay is not elected by the Electoral Mai of Harrison and $25 even. Clay is beaten by Polk. 5th. $20. Clay does not receive the popu lar vote of Harrison in IS 10. 6th. $20. That Polk comes nearer Van Burcn's popular votes, than Clay does Harrison's in 1840. These bets arc made small to enable one person to take all. But the amount will be increased to an)' reasonable amount for ac commodation. As soon as the Editor is notified of the acceptance of these bets, the money shall be staked. TEXAS. jfovtlsn. Late from Europe.

The only important news is the liberation of O'Connell, and the reversal of the judgment against him; which will be gratifying to almost every democrat.
