SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1814.
Count v and district. The democracy in'
support of their principles are opposing
the election of Henry Clay on the same
grounds that they did fifteen and twenty
years ago, and how stands this immaculate
pommitt.ee? at that time Richard Ilines
was elected to Congress hy the Jackson
party, to put down the corrupt coalition
of Adams and Clay, and Clay's American
system. And his circular then, (public,
not secret,) based his claims of election on
the right of Instruction, the very founda
tion of democracy. What he then aided
us onenlu to do, he now seeks to undo
clandestinely.
Geo. E. Badger is next on the list of
this "secret slander committee," and he too
labors under the disgrace imputed to Col.
Polk, of being repudiated by his, own peo
ple, except it has been far more thorough
and obstinate in his own case. Formerly
his great talents figured largely to establish
the corrupt bargain and coalition of Clay.
He shouted with democracy to ele?t Genl.
Jackson. Then as now he was the organ
of blackening the character of his political
opponents, which seems the height of his
political attainments. He had no scruples
then in denouncing Clay for intrigue and
corruption, saying that "the common sense
of mankind would ever regard him with
suspicion." His mighty miud seems ev
er bent on election frauds and forgeries.
The most stupendous frauds ever attempt-

more than half a century. If the dead are

The same address of this committee,
charges that J. K. Polk was beaten by his
own State for Governor, and that such a
rejection should be evidence of his incom
petency for favor or office with the people
of the United States. But each one of this
committee supported Genl. Harrison, who
had been repudiated by his own State for
Governor, and are now supporting Henry
' Clay, who has more than once been repu
diated by the whole people for the very
office he is now having their support for.
But let us apply this rule of demerit to the
committee themselves, and where stands

These are the broken down politicians
who arc attempting to sway North Caroli

to effect their restoration to power. For
the first time are the honest law-loving peo

the polls, and told in secret they can com
mit them with impunity. These are the
men who have started this nefarious plot,
whose political prudery snuff's a taint in ev
ery breeze of our hitherto pure atmos
phere, and where obliquity of vision sees a
beam in every eye but their own. Unable
to assail the pure and spotless character of
James K. Polk, they rake from the tomb
