The City Hotel and many other houses

Xhe stceeteand in front of the lighted houses,

waved (heir handkerchiefs and cheered the

' (procession, and were salated in return with

hiersand the waving of bats and torches,

flaraonstrndon that will tell '.on the 4th of

November next; until which time let every

democrat work with his whole strength. ;

There were numerous baonirs and trans

parencies in the procession some of wbich

were ttceTlent. A -very large and well exe

cuted one, designed for the five of the seven

who voted for General Jackson," a t this place

in 1824, did not get in the procession, but

the venerable men for whom it wasintended,

did.' Honor to the onstefnt did patnote,

who, having persevered in the good cause of

democracy for over a Quarter of a century,

now inscribe on their banner "We now go

for Young Hickory." May they live to vote

for many more such candidates.

P. S. We learn .that the transparency

The Whies in a Bad Ilomor Tremen-

dobs' Fall in Feathers!

The Tribune and Clipper,, having howi as

it thinks, sec urea the Scioto County ireusury

teat for another year, supposes itself licensed

to blackguard and abuse every democrat who

huB the audacity to express an opinion that

doesjiot tally with its own. That deletia

ble sheet of Friday evening thought proper

to speak of the democratic torchlight proces

sion. arid of the speakers which addressed

the mass meeting after the procession bad

dispersed.' It is particularly severe upon our

esteemed fellow citizen, E. W. Jordan, Esq;,

to whom it alludes as a very aristocratic per

son, except about election times, when he

falls desperately in love with thewhigs, but

afterwards 'curses and abuses them." We

need only cay that every whig who votfd

for Mr. Jordan for the "high and responsible

iiCPtHttoJwy &oe.w.;thai

he Was a good and consistent democrat ; and

as for "cursing and abusing" his political op

ponents, no one, either, in private chat or on

the public rostum, has been more moderate

and respectful towards them than he. Sucb

stuff, however, is to be expected from this

penny whistle of the whig party, and it is

probably 6offlewhat excusable from the fact

that it got terribly frightened a few days pre

vious at the way things were ' working in

Wayne township; and as it had nothing to

brag of in the whole county, nor in the Slate,

nor, indeed, in any Slate, and as it was ex

pected to blow away on some sort of a tune,

nothing seemed more appropriate to its di

minutive capacity than to blackguard some

Of our respected citizens. Had it told the

truth, no one would have noticed it, except,

perhaps, to wonder at its unusual magnanim

ity. . Had it only slandered the living, it

would have done nothing more than that iu

which it has been engaged for the past three

months, and which every one expects of it.

The same thing has been done by its party

from the days of Thomas Jefferson to the

present, end, of course, it must follow in the

footsteps of its " illustrious predecessors."

But, not content with giving its 'fuss and

feather candidate' all the gloiy of three wars,

thus stealing laurels from the tombs of the

gallant dead, and robbing brave men who are

living, it must, to be consistent in its Lilli

putian course, scratch about among the ash

es of a Revolutionary patriot for something

with which to slander! This it does when it

asserts that Franklin Pierce's father eulogized

"old John Adams and his administration for

passing laws to drive all foreigners out of the

country at pleasure." We have noticed this

once before, and we now again pronounce it

a gross falsehood, without even . the least

shadow of evidence to sustain it.

The Tribune and Clipper is displeased.also,

with' the remarks of Mr. Huston before the

meeting. Mr. H. took Xhe, unwarrantable

liberty of quoting Gen. Scott's own words

at Carrolton, Ky as reported in the Cincin

nati Times, a neutral paper, in which he sta

ted that he bad been caught, for the first time

in his life, in a certain unmentionable condi

tion. The Tribune & Clipper remarks, in

ts peculiarly cutting manner, that "as Billy's

mind never gets higher, he is excusable," and

also, that be ought to be "renumerated .'"

01 course, then, if Billy ought to be " renu

merated" for a quotation, how much more

exceeding "renumerated" ought to be the

classic author, Gen. Scott, when we take into

consideration the fact that he was speaking

to a number of ladies?

The whoe tone of the Tribune and Clipper

betokens the desperate condition of the whig

party in tins region. The lime was when a

democrat dated not hurrah for his candidate

without meeting wiib curses, If not kicks,

for his presumption. Now things are differ

ent. The hall dozen democrats that lived in

Wayne township in '24, have swelled in

numbers, slowly, it is true, until the hosts

in '52 make the pampered and treasury fed

whig leaders tremble for their ascendency.

We can tell them that neither their black-

guaidiem nor their false doctrines will save

them in a short time ' The democratic ban

ner, with, " Liberty, , Equality and Progres

sion,", .inscribed upon it, will continue to

receive supporters, unlil democratic princi

ples shall prevail not only throughout the

Uniont but throughout the world,

but dolefully, about the recent election.

From a majority of from four hundred

and sixty to six hundred, the whig party

of Scioto county can now claim but three

hundred and twenty-one. Pike county has

given an increased democratic majority; and

Jackson, which the whigshave claimed since

the erection of Vinton, has gone decidedly

democratic. Lawrence, in the heart of the

iron region, where the whigs have always

madf capital on the "protection" humbug,

has given a greatly reduced wblg majority

and the democracy are wide awake and

working manfully. Even old Ross, frqma

The Gardiner Fraud Edson B. Olds

' ' Thomas Corwin.

The committee appointed by Congress to

investigate the Gardiner cluim, as our read

ers are aware, has reported it a "naked fraud,"

supported upon forged testimony. The re

port is signed by Hon. Preston Ring, Volriey

E. Howard, and Hon. Charles Chapman

the two former being democrats and the lat

ter a whig. The other members of the com

mittee, Hon. Andrew Johnson, (Dem.) and

Hon. John Z Goodrich (whig) would doubt

less have concurred in the report had they

been present el the investigations. The

gentlemen who decided in favor of the claim

are George Evans, of Maine, Caleb E. Smith

of Indiana, end Robert T. Paine of North

Carolina. They were selected as partisans.

and two of them are now leading friends of

Gen. Scott. The Secreiary of the Board tes

tings that the claim was "REGARDED

WITH SOME SUSPICIONS FROM THE

BEGINNING!"

The man who had the independence to

stand up iu Congress and ask for an investi

gation of the claim, is Hon. Edson B. Olds,

upon whom, for that act, all the vials of

wrath of the whig parly have been pfiured,

and to defeat whom, thousands of dollars

have been spent. The' Whigs were the more

anxious to defeat Mr. Olds because, at the

same time that he moved the investigation

of the claim, he also asked that the commit

tee ascertain what connection the Hon.

Thomas Corwin had with it. Congress, co

inciding with Mr. Olds, passed a resolution

to that effect, and the investigation began.

Now, in the Opinion of the Whigs, Mr. Olds

bad no right to ask how a half a million of

the people's money bad been taken from the

treasury, much lessa right to ask that the

suspicions which rested upon Mr. Corwin,

who was Gardiner's counsel for a year and

assisted in procuring the allowance of his

claim, should be cleared tip. They say that

it was a very dishonorable act, and in order

to rebuke Mr. Olds for his audacity in trying

to save the people's money, no means, hon

orable or not, have been spared to defeat his

re-election. They nominated their strongest

man, Sam. Galloway, who courted both the

abolitionists and the temperance men ; flood

ed the district with lying documents and

had it thoroughly canvassed and polled. No

sooner had the returns commenced pouring

in than the Whigs began to crow over Olds'

defeat; preparations were being made at

Columbus for a grand jollification, and the

Whigs were in the highest state of extucies,

when old Licking sent a thundering shot

that scattered their hopes to the four winds

and left their torches, tar-barrels and sky

rockets a dead loss upon their hands, their

pockets in a collapsed state Bnd their coun

tenances immeasurably elongated ! Dr.

Olds was triumphantly, elected. . Thus have

the people sustained him in his gallant course

in regard to the Gardiner fraud and reward

ed him for his services in their behalf.

Although the committee has reported Mr.

Corwin us not concerned in the fraud, yet,

the circumstances of the case do not war

rant the belief that he was altogether un

known to it. The points decided are as fol

lows! THAT THE CLAIM WAS A NAKED

FRAUD !

That the alleged mine in tub State

of San Luis Potosi, (department of Rio

Verde,) upon which Garmkeb's claim

WAS BASED, HA8 NO EXISTENCE, because lliere

are no mines of any sort in that department

and Stale 1

That the board of commissioners suspected

the elaim from the beginning ; and, upon the

explanations of Dr. Gardiuer, allowed it !

That the board of commissioners first

made a private decision of the claim, each

member keeping a memorandum of th?

amount; and that they increased this first

award some $50,000 or $60,000 by the in

troduction of addition testiniony ! '

'That Thomas Corwin, the present vhig

Secretary bf the Treasury, was the counsel

of the claim more than a year ; was the con

fidential adviser of Gardiner; was part own

er of the claim,; and hence must have known

the whole hisiory of the affair.

That he was attorney for this claim, and

part owner of it, while a senator iu Con

gress. ; ' ''' :

Tbat he' got a large sunt of money for bis

personal and professional - interest in the

claim before he went into the Treasury De

partment, and tbat he retains this money in

his pocket to the present day ! . , ,

We ask the people to think of this matter

calmly and dispassionately and then say

whether Mr, Corwin is wholly guiltless.

Mi. Olds certainly had very good grounds far

asking an investigation, and the whigs, in

opposing It, showed their doubts as to its

result. ; Had they been sure of Mr. Corwin i

entire innocence they would have been anx

ious for )t, that the suspicions which rested

upon him might have been removed at the

The Advantages of an Asylum for the

Oppbessed of ali, Nations. Foreign Pau

pers AND VAOABONDS OF ALL DESCRIPTIONS.

When the Whigs of the American Revo

lution had by their valor achieved the ind.

pendence of this nation, they rejoiced in

wieir iriumnn,. noi OnlV because it sernrrH

to themselves and their descendants the bles-

Bings oi iree government; but because they

had also secured an asylum to which the

worshippers of liberty in mII nations might

flee from oppression. By establishing an

ast lum for the oppressed, those noble-hearted

men did not mean that they hod establish

ed a sink Jntoybjeh all the vice and pollu

tion of the foreign world men to be poured.-'

When they talked of a temple of liberty and

an asylum for the oppressed, they by no

means meant that the had established in this

country a vast poor-house, which foreign na

tions Were to fill with'theirwgfccfttf, ragged

and dissolute paupers. Our liberality has

been amplified far beyond the meaning and

hopes of those great and good men. They

intended that ihe fierv hearted

of human rights should come to this country

and enjoy, Ihe liberty for which their soul?

vainly panted in their native homes, but we

have made broader the gates they built ud.

ind now extend a ereetine to the scum and

of scouring of the world.

tt is well known that for many years for

eign nations have been emptying the swelter

ing conienis of thctr jails and poor-homes up

on our shores PAUPERS, VAGRANTS,

VAGABONDS AND VILLAINS of every

hue and shnpe are sent hereto plunder, to

beg. and to be fed at our expense. The evil

has grown to be enormous, and self-preservation

demands that it shall lie checked! The

city of New York is taxed annually to the

amount of 8150,000 for the support of alien

paupers and vagrants; and other sections in

proportion, We have no doubt that the peo

ple ol the United States pay every year many

millions of dollars to feed and clothe the

VAGABONDS that come to us from beyond

the seav If this is the only way in which

an asylum for the oppressed of all nations-

can De supported in this country, wc think

me asylum system is an intolerable nuisance.

If an asylum for the om)ret,sed means a voor

house for PAUPERS and a home, format?.

ous tatlerdtinalions, the sooner we renounce

it the better it will be for us. No one ob

jects to the immigration into this country of

honest, industrious, intellieent - foreigners

who will not become a taxon the industry of

our own citizens: hut to be overrun bv VILE

HORDES OF LAZY, FILTHY, BEASTLY

WRETCHES, who will not work, who beg

the earnings of honest industry, and pilfer

inem wneuever they get a chance, is quite an

other thing.., This evil, we say, has attained

a magnitude which forces attention to it.

SomestepH must be taken to stop this VILE

FOREIGN FLOOD, or we shall be drowned

out by it.

We are glad to observe that this subject

is attracting the attention of those who most

seriously feel its evils. In the city of New

York some effort has been made by the au

thorities to suppress it, but they have not

yet been very successful. It is ascertained

that more than two-thirds of the inmates of

'he almshouse in New York are foreign pau

pers. What is Irue of that city, is, to a conk

siderable extent, true of all sections of the

United States. Everywhere, the charities of

our people are invoked in behalf of the wrelch

es that nave been sent from foreign shores,

to anextent not required for the support of

Ameiican paupers. ONE-HALF Of THE

THIEVES AND NINE-1'c.NTHS OF THE

BEGGARS IN THE COUNTRY ARE FOR

EIGNERS. -

Not only our poor-houses but our prisons

are full of English, Irish, Dutch, French, end

Scotch Bcoundiels, as well as scoundrels from

every Continent, State Bnd Island in the

known world. And all these - BEGGARS,

VAGRANTS, SCOUNDRELS, and VAGA

BONDS, are fed and clothed at the expense

of honest American citizens. If this branch

of the Asylum is not speedily lopped off by

our Government. OUR ATMOSFHJSKIS

WILL BECOME PESTIFEROUS WITH

HE EXHALATIONS OF FOREIGN

VAGABONDISM AND VILLAINY, ANb

EVERT PART OF OUR SOCIAL AND POLITICAL

SYSTEMS WILL BE ROTTEN AND COHRUPT BE

yond cure. Our nation is already the Bota

ny Bay of the civilized world, and if the sen

ding of paupers and villuins hither is not now

checked by the Government, the day will soon

arrive when the population of our cities will

be worse than that ot fort bydney. Bcoun

drelism will be the fashion, and a majority

of men will wear the hedge of rascality, as

negro dandies wear their cambric, a thing to

brag or as well as tor use.

We see it stated that one Of the German

towns lately emptied the contents of its

work-nouse. men ana women, Doys ami gins,
