We do pot write these lines to di-
". minish -confidence in the ministry; but
', that our renders may observe and judge
for themselves who are entitled to their
confidence and support. We, at' a!
, times, regret to find fault with any por-
tiori of those who profess to teach the
truths as contained in noiy v ru:
From die Ohio Statesman
The following come to uein a lady' hand, and
we will ay a word on publishing it We think
the great error into which people run is expecting
more of clergymen than they should. They think
because a man enters upon the responsible duty of
teaching other holy things, he should be free from
error himself. The history of the world teaches
us a very different lesson, and proves that no men
have been more prone to sustain the corruptions of
government no men more ready to become aids
of power and oppression, than the priesthood.
They tell this of one another, and it cannot be
gainsayed by any, Nothing is more notorious than
the dissolute private characters of English no
bility, and their hope and stay is the church, which
is a part and parcel of the government. The whig
clergymen, who so readily and so anxiously sus
tained Mr. Clay, only proved that they were no
more than mortals, with all the frailties of other
men, who make no profession of religion at all
, and that immorality in public men only becomes
very offensive when found in a democrat.
, These things, as bad as they appear to (he prop
erly constituted mind, will end in good it will
teach those who are too free to throw themselves
into the keeping of men who wear the clerical
robes, that i Vis on the great creator of all thing.
. they can alone rely. They must reason and think
for themselves if they desire happiness and a con
science void of offence. They must not lean on a
broken reed, but place their strength on the rock
that never yields to the tempest of corruption.
Expect no moi e from clergymen than from other
men judge nil from their act?, and take nothing
for granted, because it comes from any particular
quarter trust to your own good works for your
standing among men, and place your reliance on
the only Great Power that never deserts the truly
good.
The drunken hard cider and log cabin scenes of
'40, and those that have just transpired, have pretty
effectually placed coon clergymen out of the pale
of very exalted public opinion. And as Pope says
that "whatever is, is right,' making up one great
"Universal whole," there may be a right in all this
of, yet, unpere'eived benefit to our correspondent
and others. But do not fur a moment saddle these
things on the religion taught in the book of God
in every leaf of nature, and our own souls. We
hope to be excused fur this apparent sermon; but as
there was said to be a time for nil things, we thought
a better time could not happen than the present,
for saying thus much on the evidently called for
occasion :
For the Ohio Statesman.
The conduet of the Ministers of the Gospel in
the present political contest will leave an indelible
stain on the name of religion. Mow can men who
in the face of God and the world, profess to be fol
lowers of the "meek and lowly Jesus," and humble
ministers in his cause, s.inction, nay, even encour
ngeaud reward the vices of a man whose character
is dyed with the very blackness of immorality
Can you ever again dare to preach from the pulpit,
that morality, which the Holy Jesus inculcated in
the minds of hi.- diciplcs while on caith, and left
to us as a lusting record in his Holy Woid, while
you, yourselves, encourage those vices which He
in ilis wrath denounced? Can you again do this?
If so, your words will fall on hearts chilled and fro
zen by your hypocrisy hearts over which you
will never more have an influence, except, perhaps
to ha' den. We would ask, have you considered
your fearful responsibility? Know that you, who
profess to" take charge of souls, are yourselves
"stumbling blocks" in the way of many, who, had
they seen consistency in ministers, might have been
Christians.' ' .-
. We have heard of some since the election who
have vowed never again to enter a Church in this
city, for what honest man but would turn indig.
nantly from those whose hearts sanction not the
words of their lips? 0 generation of vipers, how
can ye, heingevil speak good things?"
The decline of vital religion, indicates a general
decline of the church, and when the church be
comes corrupted, have we not reason to tremble
lor our liberties and our once glorious Republic?
Does not history bear record that corrupt priest
hood have been the means ol overturning govern
meuts and causing revolutions which destroyed the
happiness of millions, and ought we not to fear the
secret corruption which may corrupt the mass
and bring to light those things which we despise
and know to be wrong? In these turbulent times
when law is violated and honor disregarded, it is
certainly the duty of ministers to maintain a cau
tious ground in regard to politics, and by precept
and example endeavor to instil into tho minds of
individuals those virtuous principles which
will alone secure the happiness and peace of com
munities. Let not religion blush for her cham
pions, but may they become as "shining lights"
which will dispel the moral darkness gathering
around.
Betting. We have thought that
the pockets of some of our whig friends
feel lighter since the result of the elec
tion is known, flow is it, whigs?
Have you made your fortunes?
We have one word to say in relation
to the deception practiced upon the
whigs by their papers. In almost eve
ry whig print, nfter the result of a state
election, we could find a calcula
tion, by which it was shown that the
state, whatever it was, was sure to go
for Clay. In all their calculations they
never compared the result with the
vote of 1 140; or they would not have so
deceived their readers. . . The whig
press should be made to pay all the loss
es that have occurred by betting on e
leclions. ' Cows pastured on the roughest of
the granite hills of New England, are
said to produce the best milk, and in
the largest quantities.
THE ROORBACK PARTY.
Not satisfied with having been caught
in the Roorback forgery, the whigs,
just on the eye of the election, publish
ed a letter, purporting to be from James
G. Birney, the abolition candidate for
president, to J. B. Garland, which turns
out to .be a forgery. This was expect
ed. It shows to what desperate means
the whig party were driven in order to
sustain their rotten cause. It proba
bly saved to them the State of Ohio.
We do not envy them their triumph
when gained by forgery. They have
gained for themselves the unenviable
appellation of ''Roorback Forgers."
Since the election the Ohio State
Journal manifests considerable anxiety
to known with whom this forgery orig
inated. You're a beauty, Johnny
Tvvizzle.

for JAMES K. POLK, who is Presi
dent elect, of United States.
The following are the returns of the
elections in the several States, as far
as heard from.
NEW HAMPSHIRE
lias gone for Polk and Dallas by a
majority of about 12,000.
RHODE ISLAND
Gives Clay and Coonery about 2000.
We wouldn't huve this Algerine State
if we could get it. Thcv must release
Dorr before wc will lav anv claims to
t.
CONNECTICUT
Cocs for Clay, as was expected.
NEW YORK.
We have received returns from all
the counties in New York except two
Cltnttn and Franklin. In 1840,
these two counties gave Gen. Harrison
a majority of 525. Polk's majority so
far is 5538. Should Clinton and Frank-
in vote as they did in 1310, P.ilk'sm v
rity will still be over 5,000, in tho
Empire Slate.
VIRGINIA.
Polk's majority about 4,000.
NEW JEUSEY.
This State has gone for Clay by a-
b)ut 1,000.
PENNSYLVANIA.
This State gives Polk about 7,000
majority.
MARYLAND
Goes for Clay by about 2,000 major-
V-
OHIO
Gives Clay about G,000 majority.
We have some articles in preparation
a a
to show by what means the whigs car
ried this State.'
INDIANA.
Indiana, (says a Statesman slip of
Nov. 1 1,) has gone lor Polk by from 1
to 2 thousand. All is over with the
great embodiment."
TENNESSEE,
flic same Statesman slip says: ''The
South West mail is just in, and in 15
counties a democratic gain of 1352
votes over 1843 64 counties yet to
hear from. lennessce is glorious."
KENTUCKY.
It is said this State is "neck and
neck." It will go for Clay.
NORTH CAROLINA,
rhis is a whig State; but far as heard
from the democrats are gaining pret
ty largely. We have, howtver, no
hopes of carrying the State.
GEORGIA.
In this State, as far as heard from,
the vote stands about as it did at the
ate annual election, when the demo-
o rats succeeded by about 3,000 ma
jority.
. MICHIGAN
Is all for Polk, say 12,000 majority.
These are all the returns we have re
ceived. It takes 138 electoral votes
to elect. ,We believe the following
will be the result:
For Polk.
Maine . 9
New Hampshire - C
New York . ' 3G
Pennsylvania - 26
Virginia 17
South Carolina 9
Georgia 10
Alabama 9

Connecticut 6

Maryland 8
North Carolina 11
Kentucky 12
Ohio 23
92
Polk's majority, according to this
calculation, 91.
Who is James K. rolkf
Who is Henry Clay? The thrice,
yea, four times defeated candidate for
President.
The editor of the Globe made thr-
following proposition before the elec
tion: "I will give .100 to any respon
sible person who wi.I agree to return
to me one mill, and double it for every
electoral vote Colk Polk beats Henry
Clay above 60; to be computed as fol
lows: If he heats him 61 electoral votes,
there shall be returned to mo I mill; il
62, 2 mills; if 61, 4 mills; if 64, 3 mills:
if 65, l cent and 6 mills, and so on.'
This proposition, we believe, was ac
cepted by a gentleman of Mississippi.
If, then, the above estimate and cur
calculation be correct, ' the Missis
sippi gentleman will have to fork over
to the editor of the Globe the neal little
fortune ofj two million, one hundred and
forty seven thousand, four hundred and
and eighty ihree dillurs, sixty four cents
and seven mills, $2,l47,4C3 64 7.
THE DYING COON.
The following is to good to be lost
It was written befoie the election, but
it truly predicted the fate of that "same
old coon."
From the Rochester Daily Advertisor.
THE COON'S LAMENT.
A MOST MELANCHOLY DITTY.
Pity the sorrows of a poor old Coon,
Whose trembling limbs have borne him to your
door;
Whose end approaches soon, aye, very soon,
Give him relief, and oh! blest be your store !
From this thin fleshless form my ribs poke out
This tattered skin proclaims my lengthened years;
And many a furrow on my grief-worn snout
Has been a channel to a flood of tears '.
Hard is the fate that luckless I bewail;
For as I tried to steal a cob of corn,
A pampered loco caught me by the tail,
And thrust me forth, all wretched and forlorn!
I once was fat, till whigs enticed me out,
Against my will, to leave my snug retreat;
And lead the federal forces to the rout,
Of locofocos trembling with defeat.
Alas! alas! I rue die luckless day;
This "same old coon" left home;
For now I'm left with want to pine away,
And o'er the world's wide wilderness to roam.
What though I promised to the poor relief,
With wages high two dollars every day
That on their plates should smoke good roasted beef
If they would only vote for Henry Clay.
What though my children parted with the mtans,
Kind nature gave them to keep out the chill;
Taught dandies how to feed on pork and beans,
And suck hard eider through a grey goose quill.
Alas! alas! the fickle, false, and great,
Ungrateful for the favors I had done,
Have left me thus abandoned to my fate,
Weak and despised, sad, wretched and alone.
The other day to Federal Hall I strayed,
In hopes to get a glass of "lummut nice;"
They kicked me out, beneath the ash I laid,
And wept all night beneath the broken splice.
Ungrateful wretches! I am going soon,
To that deep rest, whig bullies cannot break;
Receive the dying curse of this "old coon,"
The maledictions of this "varmint" take!
But ere I wander into death's dark vale,
I'll make my will. To Dan I leave my paw
Come hither, Orphan Harry, take my tail!
I cannot leave ihe world without eclat! (a claw.)
The locofocos swear they'll have my hide,
Or else, Tom Ewing, I'd give that to thee,
You're too bare faced hero, take my whiskered
pride, .. ..
And wear it out in memory of me!"
Theh lay my body down, beneath yon ash
And plant a skunkweed o'er my luckless head;
Inscribe my tomb with no funeral trash,
But simply write upon it, "Cooney's Dead."
He spoke then gasping for the want of breath,
His head dropped down upon his breast so grey;
His tail now wriggled with the throes of death
And thus his troubled spirit passed away!
DEMOCRACY AND RELIGION.
Democracy is the natural handmaid of religion.
It frees man from the tyranny of his fellow it
teaches that men are free and equal among them
selves, and only accountable to their Creator. It is
the advocate of the universal diffusion of know
ledge. It teaches men to think and act for them
selves. It is a government of reason, andlnot of
force. Religion and democracy go hand in hand
in the onward march of civilization. When de
mocracy rules when 'men are freed from the
shackles of despotism', and raised up to their pro
per dignity by just and equal laws, and by a judi
cious system of education religion flourishes.
But it withers under a system which cramps tho
energies of the mind by narrow laws, which is
opposed to the spirit of progression, and depend
ence and scivility on the other. Religion and
democ.acy flourish best together. Extract
TO THE PUBLIC I
I feel it my duty, as an act of kindness to the af
flicted, to inform them what Wistar's Bals am of
Wild Cherry has done for my daughter, There is
many a parent who has given up a beloved daugh
ter or son, as a prey to that fell destroyer consump.
tion. They have, as I have done tried all the
most skilful and eminent physicians within their
knowledge, and all of the most popular remedies
that seemed to hold out some hope for a continu
ance ol life without getting any relief.
To all such, who, like me, have been seeking
with trembling hope for some remedy of real effi
ciency, I would say, seek no farther, but try at
once Dr. Wistar's Balsam of Cherry. My daugh
ter, Sarah Jane, aged-17 years whose life for
months had been despaired of, and was supposed
a sure prey to Consumption, has been cured! re
stored to perfect health arid (hat too, by using five
bottles of Dr. Wistar's Balsom oi Wild Cherry.

BALSAM OF WILD CHERRY.
The attention of the afflicted is becoming more
and more attracted to this incomparable remedy
for Asthma, Bronchitis, Coughs, Consumption tc.
But it is necessary to remind all who would get
the true article to enquire particularly for Dr. Wis
tar's Balsam of Wild Cherry, and take nothing
else. Unprincipled dealers will tell you that Syrup
of Wild Cheiry or some other cough medicine is
equally as good. Regard them not they only
want your money. Rernbcr it is Wistar's Balsam
of Wild Cherry.
ONE THING IS CERTAIN.
That Wistar's Ualsam of Wild Cher
ry is far the best remedy now used for
all distressing coughs, an 1 diseases of
the lungs. The cures being performed
are rcnlty astonishing the world. Dr.
Wistar's celebrated preparation is whol
ly an innocent remedy being compos
ed principally of the Wild Cherry, and
extract nfl'ine; combined by a new
chemical procosn, with the genuine
Ireland Moss, another of Nature's
great curatives for pulmonary diseos.
