JOHN 1. CRITTENDEN AGAINST MR.
CLAY.—A STABIN THE DARK.~THE
TRUTH WILL OUT.
A letter from Mr. Anderson—a young l.'m;‘wr
of Cineinuatti=—to Mr. Shelson, formerly of Jes
sumine county, Ky, is now in Washington. It
contains the language of Mr. John J. Crittenden
i letter to Mr. Anderson. Mr. Crittenden urg
od Anderson to have as many delegates in favor
of Taylor from Ohio as possible, as a means of
defeating Mr. Clay. e said, in that letter, “that
weeryhody had beaten Mr. Clay, and that anyhody
could beat him; that Mr. Clay had been an incubus
wpon the party for the last tiwenty years ; that he had
boen a millstone about the necks ujyllu whig party!™
‘There is no mistake on this subject. A gentle
man, just from Washington city, has scen and
read this letter; and it will probably be published !
in Keotucky in a few days. Weare nlirl further
iformed, that Johm M. "Botts declares that Mr.
Crittenden has used similar language to him again
and again. 1t was notorious at Washington that
Mr. Crittenden was anxious for the nonination of
Gen, Taylor i but that he wonld take this seeret
and active part against Mr. Clay, we thought al
most ineredible. It appears now that he wrote,
not only to Kentucky, bat to other places, to de
feat Mr. Clay, and secure the nomination of Gen.
Tuylor. e must have known that the whigs of
Kentueky preferred Mr. Clay to any man living,
but it did not suit Mr. Crittenden 1o support his
old friend,
Our readers well recolleet the very audible hints
at the whig sonvention in Frankfort, that in the
event of Gen, Taylor's election, Mr. Crittenden
‘would be a member of the cabinet. T'he same
iden was put forward by the Obszerverand Repor
ter at Lexington, and by Mr. Mangum of the Sen
ate. Mr. Crittenden is to carry Kentueky by an
old fashioned whig majority. He is then to be
promoted 1o Gen. Taylor's cabinet, and Mr.
tielm is to play Governor. This also accounts
for the zeal of Benjamin Hardin, He hates Mr.
Crittenden most cordialiy, but Mr. Helins his
son-i-aw, and he is in reality electioneering for
his son ax Governor.
If there is any curiosity about the way in which
this letter got exposed, it is sutficient to know that
My, Shelson is a whig and a violent Clay man,
and indignant at what he conceives to be treach
ery to Mr. Clay, has given up the letter to Mr.
Boits and the demoeratic members of Congress
i from this state.
W e are aware that this is a family quarrel, but
we go for fair play. Let Mr. Crittenden avow
at onee his ageney in defeating Mr. Clay, and no
longer appear his friend before the people of Ken
tucky.

« Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, |

Taylor, as a politician, is considered *small pota

the western Whigs like a wet blanket, They had
\ cleared their throats for a tremendons hurrah for

nomination of ‘Taylor came mmong them, their dis

yielding sup,mrt and countenance to a system off
swindling which casts even the fraud of 1540 in
the shade. A few months more will show these
gentlemen a thing or two. It will develope to
them the astounding fact, that when they reckon
ed the freemen of T'renton and vicinity as likely
to be baught by a “ bass drum, a white horse, and
a big white plume,” they calenlated without their
host! The Tavror Club has not been heard of
for at least one week.

The John Stevens left the Walnut street wharf,
night before last, well filled with passengers. Dur

mused themselves in discussions of the relative
claims of the candidates for the Presidency. In

to the politicsof the returning voLmtvers. Wiile
the discussion was at ite height, a tall, witty-look

both whigs and demoerats in that State—the last

PROVIDENCE, ‘
Wednesday, August 2, 1848, :
Democratic Nominations.
FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES,
LEWIS CASS,
OF MICIHIGAN.
FOR VICE-PRESIDENT (')—; THE UNITED STATES,
"
WILLIAM O. BUTLER,
OF KENTUCKY.
KENTUCKY.
The regular State election, for Governor and
members of the Legislature, will take place in
Kentucky on Monday next. The contest, at
present, is a brisk one, and both parties will give
the best possible account of their numbers.
We think the probability is that the Whigs will
carry the State. Certainly if they can carry any
State in the Union, it ought to be this. It ought
to be good, and is good, in “good Whig times",
for twenty thousand majority. But it will not
give this majority now, or any thing approaching
to it—{or these reasons:
In the first place, the State is evidently getuing
ready to give its vote for Cass and Butler in No
vember. We feel quite sure that this is the fact,
and that this will be the result. Gen. Cass has
many warm friends in the State, and the number
of Butler's friends is legion. He is known there,
and those who know him best, love hiin most.
When®he was run for Governor, a few years ago,
against his own wishes, he reduced the Whig ma
jority from twenty thousand, down to some four
or five thousand votes. He was clected to Con
gress twice from a district which could not have
returned any other Dewmoerat. Indeed, his pop
uwlarity is almost irresistible, and will very proba
hly revolutionize the State, when the struggle is
between him and Millard Fillmore. The elec
tion on Monday next will forin a sort of stepping
stone towards this revolution.
Another reason: Mr. Crittenden, the present |
Whig candidate for Governor, though one of the '\
most popular men in the State, a few months ago, |
has rendered himself unpopular with many Whigs |
by his intrignes against Henry Clay. It is notg
doubted now—indeed it has been proved, that he
did more to prevent Clay's nomination than any
other single individual, and that he did it, too,
while ontwardly professing the warmnest attach
ment to that greatstatesman. There is no doubt,
cither, that he has been promised a place in Tay
lor's Cabinet=—provided Taylor ever gets a Cahi
‘ net—and that this has furnished the motive for his
‘ desertion of his friend. This will operate against
him nest Monday, and will deprive him ofa great
i‘ many Whig votes.
But we must not, even with these favorable in
finenees, hope too much of Kentucky, just now.
It has been decided by the Whigs at Washingten
that Kentucky must be carried, this time, at what
over coat. Mo lose thattate—the very strong
hold of Whiggery, would be to strike the Taylor
flag. Itis doubtful whether Taylor conld carry a
single State, afler so werious a disaster. Every
nerve will therefore be strained to secure its vote
to Crittenden. Money will be used, and abun
dantly. Oilices will be promised, and misrepre
sentations will be made. To what extent these
menns will prove suceessfnl, we cannot say ; but
we dare not hope that they will fail to carry the
State,
Acceprs.—ien. Tayloraceepts the nomination
tendered Lim by the Whig party, but does not say
that he will earry ont Whig principles, and does
not pledge himself to be governed by the rules
and usages of the party which offered him sup
port. He is just as much pledged to the Natives
as he is to the Whigs—just as much to the Inde
peidents, as to cither. His letter, placed by the
side of the previous one, in which he says he will
ot be the candidate of any party, amounts to just
nothing at all in favor of Whiggery, or in favor of
any thing else. When was the Democratie par
ty of the nation ever known to support a man
thus nncommitted to its doctrines ?
The following is the letier of aceeptance :
GEN. TAYLOR'S LETTER, '
Accepting the Nomination of the Philadel
rhlu Convention for President of the Uni
cd States,
Barox Rovae, July 15th, 1818, |
Hox. Joux Moreuean, Greensboro’, N, C, |
Sin—l have the honor to receive your commu- |
nication of June 10th, announcing that the Whig
Convention which assembled at Philadelphia on
the sth of that month, and of which you were the
presiding officer, has nominated me for the office
of President of the United States.
Looking to the composition of the convention,
and its numerous and patriotic constituents, I feel
duly gratetul for the honor hestowed upon me and
for thu distingnished confidence implied in my
nomination to the highest office in the gift of the
American Imoplo.
I cordially accept the nomination, but with sin
cere distrust of my fitness to fulfil the duties of an
office which demands, for its exercise the most ex
alted abilities and patriotism, and which has been
male illustrious by the greatest names in our his
tory; but should the selection of the Whig Conven
tion be confirmed by the people, 1 shall endeavor to
discharge the new dutics devolving on me so as to
meet the ex‘wctationl of my fclfi)w citizens and
prescrve undiminished the prosperity and reputa
tion of our common country.
1 have the honor to remain,
With the highest respect,
Your ob't serv't,
Z. TAYLOR.

a “great demonstration”, proved a more complete

L It is said that General Taylor proposes to
send some of those bloodhounds in search of Dan
iel Webster, “not to worry him”, of course, but
only to ascertain where he is,
The story about the fight hetween an elephant
and a rhinoceros, is a hoax.
Wina paatse =ll is amusing to watch the dis
wribution of this article by the Whig press. The
slightest sign oi’ niy dispesition or moyvement on
the part of uny Democrat, which seesqy to favor
the desizns of Whiggery, is hailed with such ex
travagant landations, as betray a deep sense of
poverty. “The smallest favors are most grate
fully received and thankfully acknowledged.”—
Our Journal furnishes an example in point in its
shifting sentiments respecting the People of Penn
sylvania. T'wo or three years ugo it denounced
them ns “stolid German” ; then, in 1746, when
they had turned a smnmerset on the tarifl’ ques- |
tion, it praised their good sense, intelligence and
all that. Now that they have gone back again,
straight and strong, the Journal mournfully says—
“We trast the attempt to diffuse intelligence a
mong the Democracy of Pennsyly ania will prove
successful.” Ithasbeen; and a briefl delusion on
the subject of the tariff’ has vanished before the re
flections of a sound, practical good sense ; a 8 I
ultimately the case every where in regard to the
delusions of Whiggery.
Every Democrat receiving Whig praise, is
bound to suspect himself, and to institute a rigid
self inspection. e will always find that it has
been elicited by some doubtful act, some unwors
thy omission, some censurable concession, some
unfortunate attempt to eultivate the good graces
of Whiggery. Tolove the praises of our ene
mies is a weak and unworthy propeusity ; and
the price to be paid for them is always wmore or
Jess prostitution of principle. There are too ma
‘ny Democrats, so called, in this city, who are fond
' of being patronized by, of shaking hands with, and
)of being taken notice of by the Algerines. These
feeble friends, whose friendship is too often exs
pressed more by prufoessi(m thun by rates, require
to be aroused to newness of life, self respect, to a
sense of duty, to manly independence. ‘T'he bond
age of fear, the grasp of some petty interest, keeps
back too many who would be angry to be denied
the name of Democrats. This name, to be de
served, must be earned. One free, fearless vote
in this State will settle the account with our op
pouents, and bring all things right. The time
servers and skulkers must be sought out, and
shamed into their duty, or out of the party into
the ranks where too many of them more appro:
priately belong.
L@ The Roger Williams, a favorite steamboat
in our waters, made un excursion round Beaver
Tail Light last Saturday, having more than four
hundred passengers on board of assorted sizes
and ages. The day was pleasant, the air was se
rene and calm, and the surface of the water, un
ruflled by a wave, mirrored the picturesque scen
ery on either bank of the western chaunel through
which the boat moved swiftly to take a peep atold
| Ocean beyond the southern extremity of Canoni
cut. It was a rare treat to view the islands as we
| passed and the more distant main land of the Nar
i‘, ragansett shore, with its rich verdure, its villages
| and pleasant seats and improvements, and not a
soul on board but enjoyed the delightful prospect.
o add to the enjoyment of the party, that band
was on board, which has so long and so often *dis-
conrsed cloguent music” at pleasure parties and
concerts, and performed martial airs and waltzes
ull it awoke aspirit amongst the passengers which
nrged thein forward to the dance, and muny en-
Joyed themselves with that invigorating exercise,
while all the passengers joined in the pleasing ex
citement of the scene. In going round Beaver
Tail, theve wus a swell on the sinooth surface of
the water, and the boat rolled. This produced
the painful sensation of sea sickness amongst the
ladies, several of them looking whiter ‘than com
mon, and many of the children were casting up
their accounts ; but this soon passed ofl, and as
the boat neared Newport the land was welcomed
by hundreds of “happy human faces”, and all the
traces of sea sickness were effaced. The time at
Newport was agreeably spent by all, and the
“homeward bound trip was as pleasant as that out
ward in the morning. The Roger Williams is a
fine boat, moving with great speed, and withont
jarring or noise—and her commander, B. F.
Woolsey, is a navigator and a gentleman.—
Wherever they go, they win the good opinion of
the public.
