attractiveness which adorns From the Oct from HAMDEN Cumi Oct 10 1814 To the Editor if 1 have just now seen in thc Tribune of to-day an article Coalition of fames Birncy with the Polk party The charge of coalition rests on the fact that I have beer nominated for the Legislature of Michigan by i Democratic convention and thai I assented to its being done The following is all of substance thai is necessary to explain the transaction During my absence from homo last year in it was proposed in WIMH Convention of tho County in which I reside to nominate me for Legislature Tho nomination however was not made on the ground as I was informed thai I might not be willing to serve if elected and that County in that event would be put to the trouble and expense of holding another election Being asked on my return whether I Tved had 1 been elected I would that as every voter in the county knew that 1 was un a member of tho Liberty party and opposed to both the other parties for I had used every proper occasion publicly and privately to expose unfaithfulness I would regard my election as coining from the people irrespective of party Last Spring and Summer complaints of mismanagement on the part of the County authorities were made by thc people of thc Comity I thought the just Tho persons most im the would have relied that the intercourse we havo hud lias been of most friendly character I oppose his election because ho disbelieves the great political truths of the Declaration of Independence the foundation of all just Government and because ho repudiates the paramount object of UNION the perpetuation of liberty to all On the same ground I oppose the election of Mr Polk But 1 more deprecate the election of Mr Clay because possessing abilities superior to Mr Folk's he would proportionally weaken tho influence of those truths on the minds of our countrymen Respectfully JAMES G P S The only direct information I have bad respecting this nomination has been conveyed to me by a member of the Whig party residing nt in a letter just received tlis language shows that my nomination to tho Legislature is not party attachment lie says I think you may make up your mind to spend this winter in Detroit for this TRUE POLITENESS He who has a heart glowing with kindness and towards his fellow men and who is guided in tho exercise of these feelings by good common sense is truly a polite man Politeness docs not consist in wearing a white silk glove and in gracefully lifting your hat as you meet on acquaintance it does not consist in artificial smiles and flattering speech but in silent and honest desires to promote the happiness of those around you in tho readiness to sacrifice your own pleasure and comfort to add to the enjoyment of others The poor negro women who found Mungo Park perishing under the palm trees of Africa and him to their hut and supplied him with food and him to sleep with their simple songs wore generally polite They addressed him in language of kindness and sympathy they led him tenderly to their home and did all in their power to revive his drooping spirits A poor drover was driving his beeves seems to b the wish of a good number to market on a wintry day 1 he cattle of both parties HEMP Foil TRAITORS In the lale Coon procession in there was a small banner for each State with a short motto after the name of State Tho motto for South Carolina was the following SOUTH CAROLINA Hemp for Traitors In reference to this the lust Charleston Mercury says Tho whole course of Federal legislation is such a sweeping insult to S Carmet a lady in the path and unconscious of the impoliteness compelled hor to walk in the snow Madam said the drover apologizing for tho rudeness of his herd if the cattle knew as much us I do you should not walk in the snow That drover was in the best sense of the term a while many a young man in our streets witli glove cane and graceful step is a brute in disguise The man who lays aside all selfishness in regard to the happiness of others who plicated were of both the Whig and that wo care very little about the j is ever ready to confer favors wiio speaks i I i i I c1 l i i parties A public meeting was held o take into consideration the charges I presented the facts of the case to THE ROBERT yesterday afternoon bringing tho that tho Fulton had gone calm and courteous and never in all his 1 life guilty for a moment of personalities which so often dishonor J public men and the people the meeting and supported a set of resolves embodying the sentiments of the meeting in relation to them The course I took met with the approbation of those who were present and of those who were j not excepting very likely the parties implicated and their near friends The same evening I reviewed before 1 a large assembly embracing nearly all who had in the County meeting mentioned the of the Democratic and Whig parties as connected with the f human liberty with tho just barking of puppies of monopoly and will therefore confess that then is an appropriateness in the above of which thc writers were perhaps not aware For if it bo true thai the Legislator who prostitutes bis trust to legislate thc money pieces Two women and one child lost 1 all thc rest saved We are informed that i she was insured for whether for anything more we have not been able lo learn It is understood that tho Fulton was sent out by tho steamboat combination in claims of the North the integrity of mouse correspondence with his own hand ond with such industry as never to allow tho business of ono day lo lio over for the next Ho will not go to bed until thc business of tha day is done Whoever writes him n letter on any matter is sure to get an immediate answer written in of his into his own pocket is guilty of Larceny HEXIIY CLAY is at thief and the proofs of his guilt are now in Charleston There arc some hundreds of bales of protected Kentucky Cotton Bagging now in tho Stores of a Factorage House in our city sent here to be sold in the nanio and on 1 account of Mr Candidate Clay Henry Clay lie has sent the traitor's in language of kindness and conciliation and who manifests those little attentions which gratify the a polite man although he may wear a malio a very bow many a fashionables who dresses and enters the most crowded apartments with an assurance of CM so is a perfect compound of rudeness and incivility True politeness is a virtue of the understanding and of the heart tho Constitution This review could of j but it is not to hang but to cheat h is true that the Legislator who to tho Julia Palmer which has band shor t but containing T been running of the tnat is to should represent the in tho Leg be nothing else than yet no one save it might ha the party managers found fault with it and this because tho facts were true the treatment candid and impartial It was after this that the wish was expressed by persons of both parties that nation through tho season An inquest was held on 20 bodies last evening which were placed in coffins Four others have since been recovered The wind during tho night though greatly subsided was still high and there all that there is to say It is honorable to tho American character that such a man should rise high in public esteem We speak now I his political views but of tho man But the elevation to which ho has risen is was a heavy sea rolling the severest night we havo had during tho season The Julia Palmer yet rides safely at anchor where she remained since yesterday moring A watch fire was kept burning during the night on the beach opposite to where sha lay I was applied to to say that 1 would servo if elected My uniform answer from whatever quarter the application came was that if tho people of the County with the full knowledge which they possessed of my opinions wished me to serve them I would do it I told thorn moreover that I should regard my election as proof that people intended to put an

stone pier and light house at Gravelly Bay are both gone The schooner Win Galley bound up from tho lower lako with a full cargo of merchandize is ashore it was supposed she would be got off Off Dunkirk a wreck of a schooner was scon and also a small boat bottom upwards By thc Missouri also arrived last evening from Chicago which laid in Erie during the gale we learn that the schooners John Grant Potomac G II Walker and Brandywine were ashore in the bay at Erie but would be got off One vessel name unknown high and dry near thc Schooner Henry Clay scow All these stations have been tendered to him and urged upon him with a unanimity among his own party broken only by the fear of removing him from his b ent place as Senator and they have all been declined not by way of finesse but because he is unwilling to fill positions so little suited to his taste What other man in our country has had the opportunity of rejecting so many Jour of Commerce OWNING THE CORN We extract the following from a which we find in tho ick Citizen It occurred in the of a discussion between Mr Biser Democrat and Mr Carson coon Mr in closing said that rumor reported that Mr Clay was sitting in his parlor anxiously waiting tho news from Convention and when the first days proceedings were heard and Mr Van Buren was likely to be the man Clay said ho could lick him the next day the news came that Casa would likely to be the nominee and Clay said again he could lick but when the third day's proceedings carne notifying him that Polk was nominated he exclaimed in an agony of despair beat again by Mr he did thc truth of the anecdote and remarked that if it was not true his opponent might correct him when lo and behold Mr Carson replied thai it was Well said Mr Biser the gentlemen admits it and I take his admission for it would have taken me twice us long to have proved it Set a value on the smallest morsels of knowledge These fragments are the of diamonds that party had not the cue been given by the of tho Whig party especially by the originator of thc coalition tho Detroit Advertiser a print that has spared neither fact nor fiction to win over the Liberty party in Michigan to the support of the Whigs by weakening their confidence in mo A specimen of its may be seen in the statement transferred lo The Tribune chat if conference with General Hascall at Flint divulged it would doubtless disclose that my mission to the East icas undertaken at the instance of the Loco as well as leading Abolitionists of New York though cloaked under the pretence ofa visit to my son residing in Connecticut I neither saw General Hascall when I was at have I ever exchanged with him a dozen words on any matter of party politics This is all fiction Whatever I have done has been done openly and I absolve from every obligation of secrecy all persons with whom I have conversed on mat ters pertaining to public men or party measures Part of tho article in the Tribune is u letter signed by A P Davis of Flint in Michigan He professes to have discovered the clue to my inveterate hostility o Mr Clay in the aforesaid nomination and in tha fact of my fisst marriage been into the Marshall family Now il turns out that my first marriage was not into the Marshall family and that that family in Kentucky are with but two exceptions so far as I have heard favorable to the election of Mr Clay The charge of inveterate hostility to Mr Clay if it mean any thing more than is wholly imaginary I have no reasons for opposing Mr Clay on personal grounds On thc contrary has risen the season at twenty per cent ond whilst the farmer has to take a reduced price for his cotton ho pays under Mr tariff an increased price upon the bagging to put it inNo wonder Mr Clay and his particular friends oppose a repeal or modification of the present tariff N C Standard UNITED STATES BANK In tho investigation headed by Mr of Georgia in 1842 it was ascertained that certain eminent lawyers had recieved heavy fees from thc Bank and among them HENRY CLAY DANIEL WEBSTER On a subsequent investigation headed by Mr TYLER of Virginia it appeared that a large number of members of congress during thc contest between the Bank and Genl Jackson had money LOANED TO THEM BY THE BANK In 1830 52 members were indebted 1831 59 1832 44 1833.58 1833 52 Tho Bank loaned tho 238.580 editors of the Courier and Enquirer
