WARSAVT MEETING.
Our friend Holden, of the Standard, ap
pears tolbe a little ; anxious to - know? what
Mr. -Badger said at (the Mass Meeting at
Warsaw. We have ro report of his speech
but think it very likely he touched upon top
pics not very agreeaHe to the :indoraita
blesi" We think it tery likely he-told the
people about the hypocritical pretences of
Polk an2 hi3 party, relative to the Wilmot
Proviso and the Missouri Compromise -affecting
to abhor: the former and approve the
latter, while. Polk signed a bill approving of
the first and leaving out the last. Perhaps
he told them that Northern Democrats are at
this time, holding up General Taylor to
scorn and contempt, as a "buyer and seller
of men and women," and that Southern Dem
ocrats are furnishing them "with proofs, by
sending copies of his business papers ; and
moreover, that the same Southern Democrats
are denouncing Taylor as ah abolitionist, es
pecially in respect , to the Wilmot Proviso,
which has received the sanction of their mas
ter Polk and there idol Cass. If he had the
time and inclination, he could have added to
these instances of treachery and baseness,
'I many others of the same character.
One of the latest political tricks of demo
cratic knavery was not then exposed. . We
mean. the reports busily- circulated that cer
tain leading Taylor men have turned over
to "Cass. There was no little stir among the
serviles of this region, when orders came from
head-quarters to adopt this system of misrep
resentation! We all knew that the spirit of
evil had cast a new bait for them but it was
several days before the nature of the iniquity
came out. . .
We are a little curious in our turn, and
will thank the Standard. to tell us where thk
notion first exhibited itselfon this earth? We
all know from whence it started a little lower
down than certain politicians go, at present-
but was it the " Central Committee" of Ra
leigh, or the Club at Washington that first
issued this decree ? We really cannot think

TUE CLOVEN FOOT
1
The following Card was handed to the Ed
itor of the Journul, to be paid for as an adj
vertisement, or "otherwise inserted, as he
might choose. Mr. Fulton declined to pub
lish it in any shape," under the plea that there
were two Whig organs here. Thus is th,i
cloven foot exposed. The locofoco leaders
having invented and t circulated the lie, put
it out of the line of the Editor's busines to
contradict it; and they show they are willing
to take the odiarn upon themselves,
TO THE PUBLIC. .
Wilmington, 26lh October. 1818.
Within the pa3t week, I have repeatedly
heard ot changes which are said to have ta
ken place among the Whigs of Wilmington ;
that ten or a dozen, whose names are men
tioned, and " as many as twenty of the most
influential," without jgiving names, had
FACTS FOR TOE PEOPLE. J
. One of the best testa .by which to try;4he
herit of an Administratlon--runder whatever
Corm of Government is jthe amount and char-
after of its expenditures and one of the most
incumbent duties of the citizen is to watch
vigilantly that branch of the public service.
Trying . the successiyeJ Administrations of
our own Government by this test from its
origin down to the present time, the readers of
out paper will find the subjoined compendious
table of expenditures weft worth a careful
perusal; The contrast between She prodi
gality of the - Democratic - dynasty and the
economical expenditures ot.the Admimtra
tions which preceded the Democratic ascend
ancy, will strike ' every dne. and, taken in con
nexion with the fbrciblej remarks with which

Senator from Alabama, jdied in New York, chairman; Mr. q. G. Parsley, had no sooner

whoever started the plan should have all the
honor of its invention and should have a
patent right for illimitable bolitical rascality.

We had a glorious meeting of the Club
on Thursday night last. The, large Ma

lary too, and eloquent speeches and patriot
ic soncs were the order of the night. The

PENNSYLVANIA. J ;
It is pretended that the Democrats did not
exert themselves in Pennsylvania, at the late
election and this is set forth as encourage
ment to the Democrats ; to keep up their
drooping spirits amidst the falling fortunes of
locofocoism. The assertion relative ' to tne
efforts of that party are altogether unfoundj
ed. SVe are assured that the iocofocos never
. - - -.
made more strenuous exertions never, on
any occasion, brpught. the influence of pat
ronage and power to bear more directly oh tMe
result. tJNot tess than FIFTY THOli
S AND DOLLARS '" were contributed in
Washingrbn and New York to influence the
election.
Another matter should be considered. The
vote of the democrats' was the largest ever
given in that State exceeding that of 1344
by ; 20,000 and that of last year by 60,000.
Our friends will see . that vye have great

A SPARK. OF GRACE.
We find the Democratic Vigilant Com
mittee of this county, exhibiting a pnrk of
grace, by indirectly denying that they circu
lated ihje reports relative to the " changes
among 13' Whigs. ' They have,' m o. Hand
Bill, offered a-retVard of $20 for proof that
any respectable Democrat has circulated
soch reports. .
- The small quantity-of grace exhibited is in
this wise. First they, acknowledge itTto be
a lie. Second theym wish to throw the bur
den from theirown shQulders. 1 ? ;
- How far they may Ve 6uccciesiuI;, in esca
ping the odium for themselves, time will shew.
But it will b hard to convince the intelligent
portion of this community that they are clear
of the imputation. What ! a story of this
sort in every one's mouth,; and the 1 Vigilant
Committee know nothing about it ? They
must have been in a sound sleep for a - fort
night past. 1
We are willing they should have all the
benefit of this denial, in th!e face of the knowl
edge of a whole community. Let the circum
stance be a lesson to them for the future, and
teach them to avoid falsehood, the denial 'of
which makes them so ridiculous. :
