mcdiatcly subscqucnt to tho Hnrrishurg conclavc,
nnd in utter contcmpt of all their former proteata

military chicftain t Can such mcn bo actnatcd by
noblo nnd honorablo niotivcs ? Aro thty entitlcd
to "gcnerous confidenco?" Away with the idlc
prctcnsion.
But this is hardly tho shadow of tho first lettcr
in thc alpliabct of whig ahominnlions. Whcn thc
sclcction of tho llarri.sliurg Convcntion was first
nunounccd, it cxcilcd thc a.tonijlunent, not to say
indignation, of Iho fcderal whig prints, whosc cun
ductora liad not bcen lct into tho seerct of tho col
lusion got up nt IlarrUburg. They utlcrcd the rc
al scntimcnta ofa majority oftho whig party. Tho
jYurlhampton Courier said of the Harrisburg nom
ination, " Wero it not n mattcr of act, wc should
think it wero n lurlesque, a carricature got np
for u laugh." Tho cdilor calla it ' prcpostcrous,
ridiculously silly,' Ho naya ' Gcn. Harrison ia a
nian of no particular respectability of charactcr,
and u-holly obscureai lo talcnh, nnd decidcdly in
signifiCitnt ns to nccdcd abilitics,' Sic. Dcnoun
cca his nomination as 1 an intvjferablt insull to
the xchigt, a scandal nnd disgrace to tho party.
Why, litcrally, says ho, we fecl ashamed to raisc
our voice, or lift up our hcada to mcct iho mcriled
taunts and ridiculc of our opponems. Wo are
overwhclmcd wilh ahaiuo at such cxhibition of su
pcrlative wcakucss and political pusillanimity."
Yca, tho Courier adds, with cuiphasis nnd truth,
that Harrison was nominatcd, 'mcrely bccausc ho
has thrown nround him that odious charactcrialic
of nn cmincnt itatesman, military popularity a
feature which the u-higs, from thc outsct, havo f-
xcrtly reprobaltd in Gcn. Jackson.' Thc Atlas
callcd Harrison 1 a seeond rate man ;' and whig

approbation or diparogcment. But no sooner waa

talismen of whiggery, 1 frcsh accntcd' from thc
conccntration of all principlea save thc purc and

And aro tho lendera of such a party to bc entruat-

tora in thia mainmoth achcme of duplicity and dis

Viewing, wilh a candid cye, thia vast and com
plicated schcm'c of political hypocriay , by which an
intclligeut nnd patriotic pcople wero to be duped,
and wheedled of their rights, wc cannot diacovcr
but one point in thia clectioncering plot, which
bcars evcn the Bcmblance of honcsty; nnd that ia,
in trenting tho pcoplo aa a beastly rabble, incapa
blo of being convinced by argumcnt and controllcd
by principles. It is notorious that, from the daya
oftho eldcr Adams and Fishcr Ames to tho pres
cnt time, fedcral whiga have regarded ' the com
mon pcoplo tho huge pates,' as bnt one lift, at
most, nbovo tho bcnsts of burtlicn. Thcy havo
hcld the supposition that 'thcre ia virtuo nnd intcl
ligcnce in tho community, sufiicient for sclf-gov-cruincnti'
in nristocrntic contcmpt. And, in rcla
tion to this puint, thcir i.EADEns are entitlcd if,
in nny, to consisteucy; fur, without nddrcssing the
rcason the common senso of mcn, thcy havo at
tomptcd tho revolution of the country, by an array
of log cabins, cider barrels and coon skins ; and
profusa to havo affcctcd nn nlmost univcrstil con
vcrsion, by the eloquence of doggrel songs, Bcnse
leaa shouts, and iutoxicaling liquora ! And now,
rcader, should thcy succeed in thcir mihallowed
purposc, thero will be Icsa difficnlty in detcrmin
ing tho charactcr and talcnta of tlieir converts,
than iu showing that, thoae whig leadera have not
been gcnerally guilty of the basest political duplici
ty and dissimulation. Wc chargo thia iniquity upon
tho lcadera, demngogucs, hirelings nnd soullcss
pallroons of whigism. Tha multitude of tlieir fol-
lowcra nio dupcd, gulled, and blindcd by tho cun
ning and legeidemain ofa talented, intriguing, un-
principlcd act of ofiicc-aeekcra and povvcr-huntera,
who havo put the ' Govcrnment nt tale,' and will
if they oblain it at all, oblain it nt tho price of
hypocriay, fraud, nnd treasure. I.ct hoiiesl whiga
bo undeceived, and theao workera of political ini

MOIIE REASONS
For cnlling out cvcry Democrutic votcr nt tho
election on Tvesday next I Will the fricnds of
Libcrty and Equnl Rights, conaidera few of them?
1. FnAuna of tho most disgraccful and con-
tcmptible kind havo bcen commiltcd at thc Polls,
by tho frienda of Gcn. Harrison. Thcie fjiauds
aro provcn upon the pcrpetratora, and lionest mcn
of all parties ucknowledgo the fact.
2. Notwithstanding lliia, tho great majority of
iho Ilnt rison prcsscs, sloully ilouy what ccry well
iuformcd man knowa to bc truc, and thc cuslaved
p.irtisana of a cause which dependa upon such basc
nicaiia for support, roruo1 b'out a bluah, the
samo di'niala.
3, Nay, morc than all clso, the lcadera of tlie
Ifarrisou cause, cditora nmong othcra, havo seiz-
ed tho lionest and honornble exposnre of whig
frauds inNcw York, nnd bnsely pretend that it is
a conspiracy ngainat tho righta of the clectivc fran-
chisc I na though the righta ofthe pcople are to be
srcured nnd pcrpetuatcd, by conccnling thc most
fraudulcnt wronga ! Ghoat ofBunn ! come up,
and with nll ihy trcachcry and dishoncsly, rebuko
such inaufl'crablo iniquity ! To support tho claims
of Gcn. Hnrrisou, ofwhom wo say, asa gcnerous
foe to his election, ho doca not nccd such infn-
mous aid, his frienda have of late, out-lraitored
lia traitor, Bnrr, hiinself! Nothing occura to
our rccolcction in tho dcgrading hiatory of oppoai
tiou to Rcpublicuiiiam, so mcun,so wickcd,ao con
tcmplible, na thc cfl'orts put forth by Whig prcsscs
and partUana, to smolhcr thu rcccnt dtsclosurc of
frauds,and vilely change it into a coiupiracy against
tho righta ofthc pcople.
Democrats of Woodstock, of tho County of
Windsor, oftho Stato of Vermont, Ihe forcgoiug
rcasona, witli scorcs of others which niight bc nain

lionest mcn, aa citizens ofan insultcd rcpublic.
Rouso then, .evcry man of)ou,and bear tcstimony

COUNTY OF PHILADELPHIA DF.MO-
CRATIC JIAJORIT1ES UPWAUDS OF3100.
DEMOCRATIC GAIX, COO.
The Dcmocracy of the city and county'of Phil-
adclphia cuverd themselvcs with hunor by tlieir
elTorta ycstcrday. The triumphant results of tho
election of tho 13th inst. promiso much for grcat
and iinal strugglo against the forces of fcderal
whiggery, nnd we aro proud to aay that tho prom
ise then given haa becn most amply redcemed.
Qnr opponenls sparcdno cfi'ort to freo ihcmsclves
from the mortification which they cxpericnccd nt
iccentrcsulta they brought their utmost forco to
thc polla no cntieatiea, no intimidations, no last
appcala to party pride, were neglectcd. But it
was all in vain tho "pipera" fell far short of tlieir
loud vauntings and of their usaurance that on Ihis
battlo ground, tho 30th waa to rctricvc all. In
stead of tlrat, thcy havo doiio even lcsa than bc
fore. We subjoin tho retiirna from the city and coun
ty. It will be seen that the federnl majority in tho
city, which wo nro confidently told ycstcrday
would rcnch four thousand, at the lcast, ia only
2831, whlle thc dcmocratic majoiity in the county
ia moro than 3100?
Tho Dcmocratic majority in the city and couuty
on the 13th of October waa G7 the democratic
majority on tho 30t. is ovcr TWO HUNDRED,
showing a gain for tho good cause in a little over
two wccka of TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTV.
Tho importauce of this tiiumphant resull muy
bo cstimated moro closely by our frienda whcn wo
stato that in 1830, tho fcderal majoity in tho city
was 2728 the democratic majority in tho county
waa 1510, making in both city and county 1218
fur Harrison.
But in 1810, tho tablca are turncd. Tho wiso
nnd patriotic adminislralion of Jlarlin Van Buren
shows a gain in thc districts referrcd to of upwarda
of 1400 yotcs.
So much for tho altempt to deludo thc inteligent
citizens of Pennsylvania wilh "coon skins, hard
cider," mumery and humbiig. Thcy aro aa wo
have said bcfore ncilhcr to bo intimidatcd norca
joled neilhcr to bo awcd by panica, nordcluded
