THE SENTINEL.
Cadiz, August 1 1, 1811.
JUDGE KING,
The candidate of the Liberty Part 3? for Cover
nor of Ohio, addressed a respcctalle miscellane
ous audience, at the Court house, on last Satur
day afternoon. The Judge is a man rattier small
iu stature, with a fine open countenance. His
style of speaking is clear, forcible and arguinen-
lative; and he produces the documents to sustain
every leading position he assumes. His remarks
were principally confined to the preponderance of
the slave influence in the administration of the
general government, and in opposition to the an
nexation of Texas to the United States. lie
gave a withering exposition of the double deal-
ing inconsistency of the supporters of Henry
Clay, on this latter question; and showed most
conclusively, that the leading Clay Organs and
orators iu the South ore in favor of annexation,
and that Mr. Clay himself, in his recent letter,
.avowed that personally he could have no objec
tions to the annexation of Texas. Judge K. con
cluded by urging upon the abolition (or liberty)
party, the necessity of supporting James G. Bir
ney, their candidate for the Presidency.

nags.
What is'tye do?
JVilchet A deed without a name.
We have it from the most unquestionable au
thority, that certain of the federal leaders in
town, (whose names shall probably jet go be
fore the Grand Jury.) bad contemplated and uc-
jually planned the destruction of ihe Sentinel
Office. They had resolved that if they did not
succeed in assassinating us, that they would de
stroy our types and press, so that the Democratic
party of Harrison county would be without an
organ to spread the truth before the community.
These whig heroes and bullies had determined
to earn for themselves an immortal name ! They
liad heard of the exploits of Hercules how he
defeated the Xetna?an lion, and slaughtered the
wild boar of Ei ymanthus and they had no
.doubt read of Coinmodus, who destroyed a
.hundred hens iu a Roman amphitheatre, and
thereby got himself called the Roman ITercu
Jcs. "Twas midnight. All nature was silent as the
grave. The moon had not yet risen over the
Jiills of old Harrison. Ursa Major was quietly
travelling around Cyriosura mid the Pleiades
were sparkling in the neck of Taurus. The
whig Knights left their linking place, armed
cap-a-pie, and stealthily moved toward the Sen
tinel Office. There they stand, like tho North
.ern barbarians, who destroyed the city of the
seven hills. Seeing the Jail beside them, they
begin to think of their latter end! Their hearts
shrink within them! Their nerves become un
hinged, and they tremble 1'ke Belshazzai ! They
leave the spot, and march to Gimblet hill.
Here they again muster courage; and with the
weapons of death and destruction in their
hands, actually tear down Danid Morris'
oats steel!!!!!
"SATAN REBUKING SIN.'1
W. R, Allisox, of the Republican, is tho last
man in this community who should undertake to
read as a homily on newspaper propriety, dignity
and decency. He had belter pull the saw log
out of his own eye, before he undertakes to wipe
out the mote from ours. Let him purge his own
paper, which is weekly loaded with the vilest
slanders on the living and the dead slanders,!
which arc S3 false as Tartarus and black as Ere
bus. His last paper has an article in regard to
Gov. Polk's ancestors, which for falsehood and
villiany, would shame even the "Father of lies"
himself! Neighbor, those who live in glass hou
ses, should not throw stones. Remember that
maxim, if you please.
Woke if the wrono Passengf.h. We copy
the following from the Steubenville Union. We
imagine nearly all the whig changes throughout
the country are of this character:
Ed. Union:
I understand that it has been circulated that I
jntend to support the whig tii-ket next full. The
report is not true. I am a democrat and always
intend to be one. I cannot support Henry Clay
nor any party that advocates'his principles. I am
opposed to a United States Bank, and all the
whig measures, and mean to vote for Polk, Dallas
and Tod, if I live to tho next election; and I be
lieve that a majority in Salem township will do
the same.

Annapolis, 30th July, 1844.
flT Wp Jiave been asked by several persons
why we do not enter complaint before a magis
trate, to compel the whigs to keop the peace,
who have threatened our life. There are two
very good reasons that operated on our mind,
to prevent us from entering such complaint :
1st. It is bad enough for Henry Clay, the fed
eral candidate for the Presidency, to be under
Bonds to keep the peace,,, '. V'-rV
2d. We are not now the loust afraid of our
life being endangered, after the spociriens bf

A Challenge and a back out.
A challenge cf which the following is copy,
was seat by the Democratic Hickory Club, ofj
Cadiz, to the Cadii Clay Club.
Cadiz, Ohio, July 19th, 1S41.
To the Cadu Clay Club.
Gentlemen : At a meeting of the Cadiz Dem
ocratic Club, on the evening of the 18th inst. th
following resolutions were unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That the democratic Club of Ca
diz Township, Harrison county, are now and
henceforth ready, willing and anxious to enter
into any just and equal rules and arrangements
with the Clay Club of said place, to appoint speak
ers to go into the several townships of this coun
ty, upon suitable days, that may be appointed by
their joint committees of arrangement, and there
discuss the principal measures, and questiorslhat
separate the two great parties of our country.
Resolved, That a committee of threo be ap
pointed to meet with a corresponding committee
of the Cloy club, to agree upon certain rules for
governing said discussion, and to make and agree
upon all other necessary and concomitant ar
rangements, and that the several committeesap
point each their own speakers.
Resolved, That Samuel Bell, William, J. Frv
and John Sharp, constitute the committee on the
part of tho democratic club.
Resolccd, That the Secretary be requested to
present the above resolutions to the Clay club,
and request an answer as soon as possible.
Gentlemen :
In accordance with the last resolution, the un
dersigned presents the same to the Cadiz Clay
Club. And respectfully solicits an answer as
soon as possible.
A. P. McNUTT.
Scc'y, pro tern C. I). C.
It will be perceived that the above challenge
is dated the 19th of July last! The Clay Club
have had it iu their possession for nearly a month !
And yet they have neither accepted it, or noti
fied tho Hickory Club of their intentions in the
prenvses. It is evident from this, that the fed
eral party of Harrison county, fear a discussion
of their principles before the people. We never
knew an instance in our life where there has
been a fair and honorable discussion of the meas
ures and policy of ihe two great parties, but that
the Democracy came off victorious. The feder
al parly know this, and hence they conclude that
discretion is the better part cf valor, and they will
not engage in a discussion, in which they are
morally certain of being vanquished! The fed
eralists won't discuss great questions in the face
of tho world that is not their policy. They
won't reason, because their principles, when un
derstood, are so obnoxious and anti-republican,
that no true-hearted American will embrace them.
The federalists of Cadiz would rather undertake
to break down the Sentinel establishment intro
duce politics into private life get up great shows
of banners and ribalds, blue badges and bobinet
laces shout and scream and sing, and insult
democrats address themselves to the worst pas
sions of mankind- -and carry the election if possi
ble, by a levival of the mad excitement and bac
canalian revelry of 1810. Let a moral commu
nity ponder upon these things.
A Whig Forgery.
The following is going the rounds of the fed
eral papers, and is kept as standing matter at the
head of some of them:
Hear what Mr. Jefferson said of Mr. Clay:
"As for Mr. Clay, I consider him to be one of i
the most talented and briliant men and statesman
that the country ever produced; and should I live
many yoars longer, I hope to see him hold the place
of chief executive of the. American republic! His
career thus far in life has been a career of glory ;
and ho has achieved that for his country, whilst
engaged in his career, which would ornament
the brightest place in the escutcheon of tho most
favored statesman of any age or nation?''
The Washington Globe, in exposing this in fa-,
mocs forgery, which was first committed by a Mr.
Soulhworih, of Boston, and afterwards acknowl
edged by him to oc a forgery, goeson to remark:
Every man, indeed, who had any appreciation of
Thomas Jefferson as a politician, and as a writer
of the English language, pronounced this bun
gling piece of stuff a forgery at sight. Mr. Jef
ferson entertained and expressed very different
opinions of Mr. Clay, even before Mr. C. aban
doned the republican parly, and voted in viola-
tion of1 the wishes of his constituents, for John
Quincy Adams. Thomas Mann Randolph, Mr.
Jefferson's son-in-law, who lived at Montccello
during the last 15 or 20 years of Mr. Jefferson'
life, thus records his opinions:
"Towards Mr. Clay, as a politician, Mr. Jeffer
son constantly nianifoslod a very strong repug
nance, and often said he was merely a splendid
orator, without any valuable knowledge from ex
perience or study, or any determined public prin
ciples, founded in sound political sbience, either
practical or theoretrical.
"With this impression on my mind I left Mr.
Clay at Monticello, when I went to the Ieg'sla
ture three days before the moeting of the elec
toral colleges in December, 1S21. I had heard
some little discussion between him and Mr. Jef
ferson, of those important points of constitutional
doctrine upon which they differed so wiDEtr."
This letter, dated August 18, 1827, may.be
found at length in Nile's Register, vol. 33, page
21..' ; ; - :
Henry clay's opinion of his Friend.
A year or two since, in Tcply to a letter from
certain of his federal worshippers, Mr. Clay
wrote an answer, in which the following lan
guage is used. It is supposed to allude directly
to the Harrison convention of 1839 :
u My name never again, with my consent, shall
be brought before a convention. I have been
most sliamefully treated by men in whose reite
rated premises of support, I placed every confi
dence. J When I ascertain it's the wish of (he
people' to elect me to tho presidency, 1 will con
sent to be their candidate;
u With these men I never will again go into
convention.; .... But I am too happy",
too tranquil, too comfortable on my farm free
from debt and surrounded by domestic fccility
and true-hearted friends, (o be dragged BY
KNAVES before the public, and my name used
for their base personal purposes?"
Will "all thesa men" who voted for Harrison
in 1840, be likely' to vote in 1844 for a disap
pointed man wljo denounced the "Tippecanoe
convention" a band of knavjs?

T1IC LANGUAGE Of a WHIG.
Our readurs have all doubtless heard of M.
M. Noah, who for several years edited the New
Yoik Evening Star, an influential and leading
whig organ. Since the Star discontinued, Ma
jor No a 11 was appointed to a judgship in the city
of New York, which he afterwards resigned, and
has again mounted ihe tripod, as editor of the
New York Times and Messenger. In that paper
of the 21st July, the Major has the following
sensible remarks in regard to the tariff;
Mr. Clay's friends seem to have staked his
success on a high protective tariff, and the Whig
press from Georgia to Maine, make the tariff
the cardinal issue of the game. They seem to
think, that because a high tarill swells the reve
nue, that it works well for the country. That
tariff which brings more monev into the national
coffers than is required for the economical wants
of the government, works to the injury of the
country; it is an indirect tax upon the beople to
supply more than the wants of the Government,
and leads to waste and extravagance. When
the JVlcrnmuck company can divide an annual
profit as it does of twenty per cent, on j a capital
ot two millions, the tarirt is too higli besides,
special protection to any single interest, is in
compatible with the freedom of our institutions.
The South complains of the tariff, why compel
the boulii to submit to a tax to benefit a tew
rich manufacturers at the North? Thd South is
willing to support a tariff for revenue, with inci
dental protection. The South will support the
compromise act. Why" not closo in with the
South and settle the question at once?
Mr. Clay in April, 1844, uses ihe following
language in his speech at Charleston, S. C.
" I am bold to say that during my entire ser
vice in Congress, since tho Compromise was
passed; there "ever had been an effort to violate
it Y.'hxli had not met with my prompt and oar
nest resistance. It was important that the true
character of that compromise should be under
stood. It provided for a gradual reduc
tion OF DUTIES DOWJ TO 20 PER CENT." j
And yet in another letter of 29th June, 1844,
we have the following declarations j
"My opinions, such as they are, have been
recently quite as freely expressed at the Soutji,
as I ever uttered them at the North. I hate
everywhere maintained that in adjusting a Tariff'
for revenue, discriminations ought to be maie
for Protection; that the tariff of 1842 iris
operated most BENEFiciALiv, and that 1 am
cttertv opposed to its repeal."
It is a m'stake to suppose, that a high protec
tive tariff is popular with the masses; the manu
facturers, the iron masters, the stockholders liie
it ; the farmers do not, and the operatives will
not sacrifice political principle, to sustain a
high tariff. Look at Pennsylvania, a decidod
tariff state; ihe vote will be given of that Statf
to Polk, they prefer his tariff for revenue, and
the principles of the compromise to the present
high protective tariff. Tlioy go for permanency
for security, and arc therefore in favor of mode
ration. Mr. Clay's shoot anchor was the com
promise act, and he should have held on to it.
The very fact tnat it was a compromise, acceded
to by all, gave it its strength; hut the presses in
the interest ol the mnnutii.clurcrs, nuke a high
tariff the platform of Mr. Clay to stand upon,
and they scout any compromise. We shall see
the result of this policy.
Not for the Public Eve! The Whig press
are trying hard to play oil' their old game of de
ception which they found so successful in 1840.
Mr. White of Indiana, made a speech a lew
days since in New York, in which he declared
the wings to be in favor of a National 15 ink, and
that the "whig orator, or editor who denies tho
fact is either ignorant or deceptive." , Some of
the whig journals, knowing that a Bank is as a
'stench in the nostrils of the people," have care
fully kept this part of Mr. White's remarks from
the "public eye," by omitting it in their publi
cation of his speech. The people can't be de
ceived twice at the same game, tnoy know that
an "Old Fashioned National Bank" is the dar
ling object of speculating wliiggery, they know,
too, tint Hamilton spoke tlie truth whoa ho de
clared a Bank to be a great political Inachinc;
and it is tho hopes of being able to .'establish
and wield its immense power, that causes the
whig! to struggle so hard, with Mr.' Clay as
leader, to re-construct another one of their "po
litical machines." Let the people arouse to
their danger, for, to use Mr. Clay's own lan
guage when he was the advocate of tne people,
a National Bank is "dangerous to their liberties.

It is really amusing to watch the tergiversa
tions of the Federal press in lhoir zeal to prop
up their coon nominees. One day they trace
back the pedigree of Mr. Frelinghuyscn till
they come to some of his forefathers who were
preachers of the gospel, and thus they stop and
tell us how many religious and philanthropic so
cieties Mr. F. belongs to himself, and then they
present him to us as the "embodiment" of "all
the religion" of their party. On the next day
they take up the merits of Mr. Clay, and des
cant upon his accomplishments as follows:
"John I yier is a sharper vile,
And cheating is his aim; ,
He turned the knave of diamonds up,
And thought he had tho game.
But now we've shown him all our Laud,
And he's in doleful dumps
For HENRY CLAY'S the people's card,
And he's the ace of trumps!
And he's the ace of trumps, my boys,
And he's tho ace of trumps" &c. tec.
Such is the game cow going on 10 swindle tin
people. Prayois in tho morning, for Mr. Fre
linghuyscn curses at dinner time ngiiust the

OCT Here is a sensible article fiom the Alba
ny Argus, which we recommend to tho attention
of every candid man.
The Tariff Fiotni r Do not ihe Whigs
favor partial Frotwiiout
The whigs are exceedingly hid gmuit at the
Democratic Press, for holding up the low prices
of produce befuro the faimeis of 'lie country.
But the case is simple. I
At the time of the passage of the Tariff of!
'42, the wh;gs most confidently promised the
farmers, higher prices not only for their wool,
but also their wheat and rye, beef aud pork.
This we assert beyond, the fear of conrtadiction,
The democrats are now testing these promises
by the actual results, and it is found to be a
fixed fact, that wheat and rye, and beef and
pork, have not been lower within twenty years!
The Agricultural interest is in a state of in
tense depression. 1 was thought to be very
bad two years ago, but now it is still worse.
Wool has risen some 20 or 30 per cent., but
most of the other articles which constitute the
bulk of the produce of the country, has fallen
between 30 and 40 per cent.
Do the wlvgs dispute these facts? Certainly
not; hut they growl over ihem, because they
perceive that these make them stand before the
four millions of farmers as false promisors, and
and tlicrcloro unworthy ol luture confidence.
While such is the depressed condition of the
farmers, are not manufacturers reaping large
profits, and do they not attribute these profits to
ihe law of '42? Most assuredly they do. Now
the question is whether, if congress thinks pro
per to interfere, it should not likewiso pass a
law lo add to the profits of the firmer as well as
those of the manufacturer. This is the qaes-
tion.
The country has a right to demand equal
AM) just protection to all its industrial
interests. Do not the erroneous inequalities
which now exist under the operation of the law
of '42 demand a fairer and more equitable ad
justment.
i Ins is the point upon which democrats should
fix the whig pjrty. The. obstinate adherence of
the whig party to all the provisions of tho pre
sent law, under the banner of the Tariff as it is,
shows that they countenance a system of Par
tial Protection, while tho democrats, who
think it was not intended that tho manufacturing
interest should be raised 30 per cent, in value,
while the agricultural was depressed 10 per
cent., go resolutely lor such modifications as
will make the Tariff', in tho language of their sa
gacious candidate, Gov. Polk, a law for "fair
and just protection to all the great interests of
tne whole Union, embracing agriculture, manu
factures the SKchanic arts, commerce and navi
gation." We fearlessly appeal to freemen lo determine
whether this is not the true America?! posi
tion.

The following letter was handed to us for pub
lication, and we hasten to present it lo our rea
ders.
It will bo recollected, by those present at the
political discussion, between Messrs. MeCreary
and Wharton of Wheeling and Messrs. Lawrence
and Gaston of this cotiuty, on Saturday the 6th
of July, that Mr. Lawrence proposed to either of
his opponents to unite with them in a letter to
Mr. Clay, requesting his permission for Mr, Blair
to publish any letter in his possession from Mr.
Clay touching his agency in the election of John
Q. Adams Presideut of the United States, in
1824-5.
Air. Wharton, driven to the wall in defence of
the infamous coalition, and writhing under the
accumulation of testimony adduced m proof ot
the guilt of the great "embodiment," reluctantly
agreed to unite with Mr. Lawrence in a letter to
Mr. Clay.
Ihe letter was accordingly written, properly
directed, and mailed on the same evening of the
discussion. Four weeks have elapsed and not
one word from Mr. Clay in answer!!
Does any reflecting mind want stronger evi
dence of the criminal conduct of Mr. Clay, in
that most detestable conspiracy, by which the
American people wore defrauded out of their
choice for President? Certainly not.
Permission is asked of him to publish a letter
said to have been written by him to Mr. Blair
iiul which, it is said, fully establishes his guilt.
This he refuses. He dark xot do it.
If Mr. Clay is innocent, and if there is no such
letter iu existence, or if there is, and it contains
nothing implicating him, why, in the name of
common honosly, does ho not give permission t
have it published, and thereby, put to rest tu;s
charge? Tho truth is evident; he knows that
letter condemns him 'out of Ins own mown.'
Our word lor it, Mr. Clay will never consent
lo have that letter published. We call the par
ticular attention of Mr. Wharton one of the sign
ers to the following letter, and editor of the
"Wheeling Times," to the tact that Henry Clay
refuses to answer. Will the Times publish this
letter, and inform his readers why Mr. Clay is
silent upon a subject of so much importance?
e shall see.
Here is the letter; and four weeks have elans

DISSOLUTION Ol' THE IWIO.
This is the way they talk about it down South.
We copy from the Mississippian:
" The whigs are endeavoring to creato the
impression that the friends of annexation at the
South present the issue of 'Texas or disunion.'
Aware of tho firm attachment which men ot all
parties have to the Union, they seek to make an
issue before tho country which no party has
made, and which we honestly hope no respecta
ble number of (ho American people are dispo
sed now to make, or will at any time hereafier
present. It is true that such reckless men as
James Hamilton have, in times gone by, reared
the standard of disunion; and that tho same man

Tho following wo have just received from Messrs. Jos
un ol kowc, muggistu, in jNewarlc, in tins state, to
whom it was communicated by John Wimer, Esq., a
citizen of Burlington, LiiJjing county, Ohio.
Burlington, Ticking Co.,0., Dec.l, 1843.
Messrs. Joslin Sl Rowo: At jour request I herewith
transmit to you a statement of the case of Mrs. Wimer
and child, us near as I am able to communicate, which
you are at liberty to publish if you see fit, as I feel a
desire to inform the world of the cflects of the invalu
able medicine called AVistar's Balwim of Wild Cherry,
to which, by the divine blessing, I am indebted lor the
restoration to health of my wife and child.
About five years ago Mrs.. Winter was attacked
with a violent cough, pain in the chest and side, and
symptoms of approaching consumption. During the
intervals from that time to sometime in Feb. last, she
had been treated by eminent Physicians from Utica,
Sylvania, Homer, Chatham, und Newark, and with
only partial relief of the most urgent symptoms. A
bout one year ago she caught a violent cold, which
seated upon the Lungs, producing nn alnrming aggra
vation of all her previous symptoms. Her Physician
was sent for, and despite his best efforts, she began
rapidly to sink under her disease. Cough, Expectora
tion, Hectic, together with night sweats, soon reduced
her to a complete skeleton. In Feb. last, her attend-
ing Physician, deemed her case altogether hopeless, a
council was called and after deliberating upon hot1
case, unanimously pronounced her to bo beyond the
roach of monns, and expressed their opinion that she
could survive but a short time, one or two weeks at far
thest. She was at this time entirely confined to her
bed, and scarcely able to articulate, except in a whis
per. Her daily paroxysms of coughing would last her
interruptedly from three to five hours, and so severe
were they, that we did expect that every paroxysm
would be tire last. The Physicians in council, pro
nounced her Lungs, Liver, "Kidneys, Spine, Mid Mu
cus, Membrane of the Stomach to bo incurably dis
eased. It was at this last extremity that we happened
to obtain a pamphlet describing Dr. Wistar's Balsam o
Willi Cherry, as applicable to Lung afle"tions. We
immediately sent to you and procured a bottle, and
commenced its use nt evening by giving her one tea
spoonf'ul, and such was the surprising effect, that she
was able to pass a comfortable night's rest, without ex
periencing any paroxysm of couglring, and such was
its ultimate effect, that nfler taking S bottles she was,,
contrary to the expectations of her physicians, and eve
ry one who saw her, entirely restored to health j and
since last summer has done th entire work of her fam
ily. After the last attack of Mrs. Wimer, our young
est child, then an infant at the breast, was taken down
and rapidly sinking, with the same symptoms as its
mother, and seeing the happy effect of the Balsam in
the case of the mother, wo were disposed to make trial
of it for tho child, and it was attended with tho same
perfect success.
The above sratemcrit can be attested by our physi
cian as well ns our neighbors and acquaintances, who
saw Mrs. Wimer during the course of her sickness.
Very Huh', yours, i-c.

The case of Thomas Corona Ih related by himself as
follows, and acknowledged by all who know him as
one of tlie most astonishing cures ever performed.
llAonoNFiELo, N. J., April 20, 1843.
On or about the 13th day of Dec. 1841, I was taken
with a violent pain in the side near tlie Liver which con
tinued for about five days, and was followed by the
breaking of an ulcer, or something inwardly, which
relieved the pain a little, but caused me to throw up a
great quantity of offensive matter and also much blood.
Dcing greatly alarmed at this, I npplicd to a physician,
but he said lie thought he could do but little for me ex
cept give me some Mercury Pills, which 1 refused to
take, feeling satisfied they could do me no good ; many
other remedies were then procured by my wife and
friends, and none did me any good, and the discharge
of blood and corruption still continued every few days,
and at last became so offensive I could scurcely breathe.
1 was also seized with a violent cough, which at times
caused mo to raise much more blood than I had done
before, and my disease continued in this way, still grow
ing worse until Feb. when all hope of my recovery was
given up, and my friends all thought I would die with
a galloping consumption. At this moment, when my
lite was apparently drawing near at a close, I heard of
Dr. Wistar's Balsam of Wild Cherry, and got a bottle,
which relieved nm immediately, and by the use of only
three bottles of this medicine, nil my pains were remo
ved, my cough nnd spitting of blood und corruption en
tirely stopped, and in a lew weeks my health was so
far restored ns to enable me to work nt my trade,,
(which is a Carpenter) and up to this time I havo enjoy
cd good health.
