THE JOURNAL. Erratum. An important error occur, red in our paper of last week, which we take the earliest opportunity to correct. In Our remarks on the Chronicle's article, headed "Outrageous Conduct " two lines were transposed from their proper place: it erally called river counties, lying in the vi cinity pi the city, and are of course those counties where, if at all, foreigners would have a weight. By referring to the re turns, however, we find that in these coun ties the Democratic gains are comparative ly trifling. But again ; by turning once more to the same map, we flr.d that in those large and almost purely agricultural ! counties, which lie high up, in the inte cle" is somewhat unfortunate in the selec tion of the objects against whom he hurls his envenomed shafts.

Dickinson, Esq., ot this place, our hearty thanks for his courtesy and liberalitv in tendering to us the use of his wharf for the purpose of firing our M Jubilee Guns." The party at first intended to fire ope hun dred guns from oIT the wharf at the foot of Market street, but were afraid that it might interfere with those who had business there. Mr. Dickinson, although a whig, in a spirit of liberality which we cannot commend too highly, not only offered his private wharf, but had it cleared off for our use. To Captain Ilathorme, too, of the Brig Levant, the Democratic party would re turn their best thanks. Without knowing any thing about our arrangements, he had hauled along side Mr. Dickinson's wharf, but the moment he ascertained that the Democrats wanted it for the purpose of burning some powder over their victory, he immediately removed his vessel and contributed, we learn, a keg of powder, to be used in the celebration. FOREIGN INFLUENCE. Amongst the many excuses which the Federal presses have vamped up to break, in some measure, the force of their late ter rible, but merited overthrow, perhaps there is none which is now, or which will be for some time, more harped upon than that nothing but contempt at the hands of those whig' as well as democrats who have known Mr. Henry for years, and who now know him, to be as honorable and as high minded a man as lives within the confines of North Carolina. Was it the desperation brought on by the Waterloo defeat, which the Chronicle and his brother Federalists have received at the ballotbox, in the re cent contest, which hurried that print into its rash and uncalled-for attack upon the character of a distinguished citizen? When we state the facts as they stand in relation to this matter, we think the Chronicle will acknowledge that it was. It has been a practice, for years past, for the members of the bar in many portions of the State, as we learn from our seniors in the pro fession, to vote, in the Presidential election, in that county in which their business ne cessarily called them on the day of elec tien. In this, both parties thought there was no harm, as the votes would about balance each other. But further, in this very county of Sampson, where Mr. Hen ry committed the heinous offence in ques tion, for a great many elections past, both TVhig and Democratic lawyers from other counties, have voted, as can be proved by the record. Now did the Chronicle think for a moment, when he hurled the missile at the house of Democracy, what a wig wam of glass he lived in himself? Did he know then, that Mr. Solicitor Troy, than whom there never lived a man of more unblemished honor, had committed the ve- llie defeat of their " great embodiment' was brought about by the votes of foreign-! ry same fraud, if fraud it be, which he charges upon Mr. Henry, at the very same place, and at the very same polls too, three we believe, but certainly two, distinct times ? Did not the State's Solicitor take an oach to support the Constitution? and ought not he, if any man ought, to he well acquainted with the laws of the State? Yet he thoughtit was no violation of conscience, nor fraud either, to do as Mr. Henry did, under the circumstances. Again : what does the Chronicle think of D. B. Baker, Esq., a distinguished Whig lawyer, and Whig Elector, to boot, who also, as well as Mr. Henry, took an oath to support the Constitution, what, we say, does he think of Mr. Baker's voting at the very same place twice once in '36 and once in '40, under the same circumstances as those in which Mr. Henry voted? Again; did ers. " Wenry Ulay, say they, had it not been for the votes of foreigners, who know Mothing of, and who are inimical to, our institutions, would this moment have been our President." Well, now, let us seHiow far this bold assertion accords with the facts. Let us see if it is not another "Roorback" gotten up for the two-fold purpose of inflaming the minds of the A merican people against naturalized citizens, the natives of other lands, who are amongst us ; and as we have before observed, to break the force of the awful fall which they have received atthehaids of the peo ple. The Stale of New York, say thev, which turned the scale, was carried for Mr. Polk by foreign votes. Let us see if there is any truth in this. Our readers will all remember, that in 1840 General Harrison carried this large Slate by a majority of i not some leading members of the Whig upwards of 13,000. Now Mr. Polk carparlV' frm tms county, vote at the August ries it by about 6,000 majority; conse- election in the county of Chatham? But quently the Democratic gain is about 19,-; still again ; have not some Whig lawyers, 000. Well, it is agreed on all hands, that! frm l"is place voted in Onslow? Ah, the great bulk of the foreign votes was cast Mr- Chronicle, you should look a little in the city of New York. The question more closely into your own wigwam, and then is, where did we, the Democrats, see that all s strait Mere, before you un make the great gain of 19.000 vnto ? . dertake to set your "neighbor's to rights. Was it in the city of New York and its But people, wincing under the political immediate vicinity, where the foreign vote drubbing which the Chronicle and his is cast? or was it in the interior or agricul party has received, will be betrayed into tural section of the State, where foreign- acts of wilful rashness sometime?. ers can be supposed to exercise little, if I" any, influence? Let us see. In 1840 James Pearsall. Mr. Van Buren's majonty in the city was, 'frie " Chronicle," since his defeat, in round numbers, 1,006; now Mr. Polk's seems to have acquired a morbid desire majority is 2,000 say: only a gain of 1,000 Jor making attacks on the character ot pri them that is, if they were not ashamed of there candidate that he "denounced" the said ticket as a humbug, gotten up for the purpose of gulling honest voters. This we understand was the sum and substance of what Mr. Pearsall said on the day of election. Mr. Pearsall's general cha racter we think, might be enough to give the go by to such slanderous charges as those which the Chronicle in his spleen, has brought against him. We intend to ferret out this matter, and in our next number we will, we think, be able to be more explicit. WHAT'S IS A NAME." Were vve to try the truth of the caption of this paragraph, by the bad success the defeats which the Federal party has met with under the various names which it has assumed during the last forty years, we would say with Sam Slick, " there's migh ty darned little." Name after name has it adopted, under the vain expectation of making itself palatable to the American people, but thanks to the intelligence of that people, they have been always able lo see through such a flimsy subterfuge as that of a name, however high sounding and popular, intrinsically it may be they are able to hoist the curtain of a "fair name," and see what lies behind they have dis crimination enough to separate the mea sures of a party from its name they have good sense enough to judge a political par ty by its measures, and not by the name which it may please to adopt such was the case in the recent contest. The Fed eral party had run up to the mast head of its ship political, a name, which before it was desecrated by it, was enshrined in ev ery American's bosom; bntthe Democracy of this country told these wold-be whigs, that they wanted to lake a peep at the car go which was stowed away in the hold of this "craft," before sailing in her. They did so ; and the result has been that her colors were false, and in her they couldn't sail. About 12 or 15 years ago, the noto rious James Watson Webb, (him that got the $52,000, from the Bank of the Uni ted States, for his advocacy of its sinking fortunes,) led this same party up to the baptismal font, and bestowed upon it the name of whig. It has been literally anni- nuated under tins name but a tew nays a go. Again, this famous name giver of the " Courier and Enquirer " has re-baptised the old federal party, and dubbed it " Native American" We see no rea son why this last baptism shouldn't be as valid to all intents and purposes as the first. For our own part we are perfectly content that the pseudo whigs of '44, will fight the battle in '48, under the " Native American" flag we shall ferret out their Counties.

We think, however, that Mr. Polk will get her 13 Electoral votes. So it will be seen from the above sj' nopsis, for the correctness of which in the main, we pledge ourselves, Mr. Polk, whom the coons knew nothing about, will get cer tainly 170 Electoral voles, and very pro bably 183, if Tennessee, as we think she has, votes for him; and that the same old Coon who was going to walk over the track so said and sung the young coons, will get but 105 votes in the Electoral Col lege, at most, and very likely only 92.

On the eve of the election, the Federal prints circnlated a letter, said to have been written by a member of the Democratic Convention of Michigan, which stated that Mr. Birney, the Abolition candidate for the Presidency, was nominated by the said Convention, for the Legislature of the a bove State, and that Mr. B. had authorized the anthor of the letter to place his name befor the Convention for nomination. Now the letter turns out to be another " Roor back." The New York Evening Post has the following remarks on the subject of this forgery.

The Federalists in this State say Mr. Clay was defeated on account of the Abolition ists of New York voting for Mr. Polk. Let us see how Mr. Greely, ol the New York Tribune accounts for it. From the Charleston Mercury. Now that Falsehood hag failed, the truth U out t Abolition and Whiggery acknowledge now their identity. The N. F. Tribune'n accoun ting for the defeat of its party in New York, says: " We are beaten but how i 1. By the throwing away of some 11,000 votes nine-tenths of them whig on all ques tions of National Policy on the Birney tick et. We did believe that at least half these would finally vote so as to prevent the annex alion of Texas. Yet the false representations of Birney, Leavitt, & Co., that day was as much for annexation as Polk, and mort likely totffect it, &c. &c, have carried all these votes obliquely in favor of annexation, warandeter rial slavery, &c. &c."

Here is Ins last lamentation over the abolitionist3 . "'JVcw York Conquered nr.d Enslaved.

That a man never thoufhi of for President, and as confessedly unworthy of as unfit fw that high office, should become Chief Magis trate ot the United States, excites equal as tonishment and mortification. And that a mas nominated expressly and avowedly to pawl ize American Enlerprize and Industry, and to extend the boundaries and enlarge the politi cal power of slavery, should obtain a m.j-on-ly of the sijfl'raoes of the electors o( New York, j is as astoundino- as it is disgraceful.
