From the U.tyfo* Journal. MORE RENUNCIATIONS! Honest Men standing np for their country. The Whig strength is daily iucrcas- in' Honest men are leaving the ranks of the Anti-Bank, Anti-Tariff, Polk and Dallas Texas party, and are arraying themselves on the side of their country. below the. renunciation of three'independent citizens of Germantown, iiftliis.

county--men of character, too, respected wliere they are who can no longer adhere 'to a "party eeeking the accomplishment of measures which must result in the destruction of American interests, and the degradation of National character. Messrs. looking over some of the Locofoco papers we noticed several articles headed "Progressive Democracy," in which were contained the renunciation of a few Whigs, and, upon reflection have concluded that if leaving the true and genuine Democratic party and going over to the pscwdo democracy, is made a subject of gratula- tion, then a coming out from among the Spoils Party and going over to the old fashioned Democratic Whig party, might also be gratifying to you and every friend of true American principles. If then you are disposed to give publicity to a few of the many accessions to the mighty host of Whigs, you will confer a favor on the undersigned by publishing this--our renunciation forever of our adhesion to that party which, with its long and loud professions of Democracy, has led. astray so many honest and true friends of Jeffersonian Democracy.

Confiding in the professions of sincerity by the leaders of the parly which claimed to be the real simon pure JefFer- sonians--the true friends of Bank Reform, and reform in the administration of the General and State Governments --a judicious tariff, c. supported them until their acts, speaking- louder than their professions, proved to us their insincerity and want of attachment to the interests of the country, when the interests of the party required their abandonment. 'Since 1840, we have been brought to the conclusion from evidence, accumulating time afier Ume, that however honest the main body of the party may be, those who are and have been the leaders, and exponents of its principles, have sought to secure to themselves personal advantages at the expense of the interests of their confiding supporters. The experience of half a century proves beyond question, that a Protective Tariff and United States Bank, have answered the end and secured the objects contemplated by Washington, Jefferson and Madison, in their establishment. We were among those who believed the dogma trumpeted forth by the Press and orators of the anti-Protective Tariff party, that an impost on a foreign article was a tax upon the consumer of a similar domestic article, and that the tariff of '42 would press heavily on the many for the benefit of the few.

We have given ourselves the trouble of inquiring into this proposition, and find, as every person must admit, that instead of all protected articles going tip in price, most articles have come dmcn. Indeed, we cannot name a single protected article that is now higher than in the spring of '42. Even though it were true that some articles would be higher under a protective tariff, yet in the language of Washington in his message of Dec. 7, 1796: "If the necessary articles should in this mode, cost more in time of peace, will not the security and independence thence arising form an ample compensation 1 And in the language of Jefferson, "the great mass of the articles on which impost is paid are foreign luxuries, purchased by those only who are rich enough to afford themselves the use of them. Their patriotism would certain- 4y prefer its continuance and application great purposes of the public education, roads, rivers, If therefore the price of some articles should be higher, "our patriotism would prefer ifs continuance," and we very cheerfully agree with JclFersorvthauhc impost should not be "suppressed, and that advantage given to foreign over do- manufactures." Again, we cannot shut our eyes to fact that the two and only two great -systems which were projected by Washington and his compatriots--namely, a -Protective Tariff and United Stales 'Bank, have been productive of that pros perity in this happy country which has no -parallel in history.

We cannot be made to believe that these happy results were 'brought about by free trade and hard 'money--by causes which did not exist for that would be absurd. -Believing therefore, that a steady anc uniform adherence to the great princi pies of the Whigs of 1789, with Washington at their head, and of the true Democracy of 1798 with Jefferson at their head, is the duty of every patriot and admirer of the fathers of American liberty, we will exert ourselves in behalf of the' glorious Whig cause--in the elevation of Henry Clay and Theodore Freling- 'huysen, as the best and only means of bringing the country back to the eld trod- of our forefathers, and abandoning the new lights of Democracy," with all their ruinous and destructive experiments.

They are advocating James Polk for the Presidency, who is in favor of annexing Texas, and (if placed in power) will lend a hand to destroy the Protecting Tariff, the only bulwark of American Mechanics against the pauper labor of ten cents per day in Europe. I am a Mechanic and opposed to low wages. I am in favor of a United States Bank, and the distribution of the proceeds of the public lands as advocated by Henry Clay. Upon all these great questions (which such men as Washington, Jefferson, Madison and Monroe supported and declared the correct American policy,) I find that they arc opposed to me in opinion. To the annexation Texas with its slaves and debts I am also opposed.

Of both these great National evils we have I think quite an abundance. I am unwilling to help add millions of each to the long list already too large.

The meeting then tried to put him down, but being unable to do so resorted to the expedient of withdrawing their forces.

The speech produced the happiest effect.

We cordially welcome our old political opponent into the Whig ranks, confident, if he displays the same ability and vigor in defence Whig principles as he has heretofore in support of their opposite, that his efforts will tell with effect, in the great contest now going on for the maintenance of popular rights. We consider his change of tenets as a most remarkable illustration of the soundness of the aphorism, that "truth is mighty and will prevail." It will take the public, we have no doubt, as it has taken the Whigs here, entirely by surprise; as we are confident his new position has been assumed without consultation, invitation, or any knowledge on the part of the Whigs, that such would be the case, until the editor had made up his mind it view of the alarming crisis to which our political interests have Icigh Register.

CHILD, until within a few weeks the editor of the Anti-Slavery Standard, has come out for Mr. Clay. He addressed a mass meeting of Whigs at Northampton, last week, for two hours, with tremendous effect. He says that he spent the winter in Washington, became fully convinced that the great and all-absorbing question to be decided is, "whether Texas shall be annexed to the United States." The Locofoco party dropped Mr. Van Buren and took up Mr.

Polk in order to make this issue, and he feels impelled by every dictate of patriotism, to come out for and advocate the claims of the man who goes fot the Union as it is." Mr. Child's example will be followed by thousands in O- liio, and throughout the North. The Union purchased by the toil and cemented by the blood of the Revolutionary Patriots, is yet dear to the great mass ol the people; and they never contribute to the election of a man or the success of a party, whose avowed policy will bring upon it, the accumulated evils of anarchy, disunion and dishonor. The Locofocos have been publishing about once a week, the renunciation oi one Wager Wcedcn, who was, as they $ny, one of the Harrison Electors in Rhode Island, in 1840. The Lowell Journal thus notices the renunciation: recruit is, we presume, of the same stamp as those others of which the Democrats tell about.

Death of Joe Smith, the Mormon Prophet, The last southern mail brought the news of the death of JOE SMITH and his brother Hiram, at Carthage, Illinois, on the afternoon of the 27th ult. For several days past we have been expecting to hear of there being blood shed at or near Nauvoo, as the anti-Mormon citizens of the county were greatly exasperated in consequence of the destruction of the "Expositor" printing office, by the authorities of Nauvoo. We give the news as it comes to us, and we think the statements in the main may be relied upon, although there appears to be some discrepancy in the details. 'One account xliat we have seen, says that on the afternoon of June 27th, between 5 and o'clock, an armed multitude visited the jull at Carthage, bore off the guard, and killed Joseph and Hiram Smith, and two of his associates. We hope it is not true that the lives of these Mormon Impostors have been taken by mob violence.

From Hie St. Louis Erciiing Gazette, Eytra. Friend Flagg--Enclosed you have a copy of an "Extra" issued at Quincy. We left Nauvoo about daylight this morning (Friday 28th) all was quiet. The Mormons had not heard of the death of the Smiths, as Gov.

Ford, who was encamped a few miles back, had (as supposed,) intercepted the messengers from Carthage. At Warsaw, all was excitement. The women and children Were all removed, and an immediate attack was expected from the Mormons. We met the "Boreas," just above Quincy, with 300 men armed and equipped for Warsaw, eager for fight. I send the Herald" printed this morning, containing the particulars of Smith's death.

In haste, yours, c. A. J. STORK. On board Steamboat St.

Croix; 7 Friday Evening, June 28, J844. From the Quincy Herald, Friday Morning, 3 o'clock. 5 DEATH OF THE JOE AND HIRAM SMITH ARE The steamboat Boreas just in from Warsaw, brings shocking intelligence from the scene of the Mormon war. The following slip from the office of the Warsaw Sigual explains the dreadful nnd Hirum Smith are dead--shot this afternoon. An attack from the Mormons is expected every hour.

Will not the surrounding counties rush instantly to our rescue? Warsaw, June 27th, 1844." It seems that the circumstances attending the killing of the Mormon Prophet and his brother Hiram arc as follows: On yesterday Gov. Ford left Carthage with about 120 soldiers for the purpose of taking possession of the "Nauvoo Legion" and their arms. They arrived at Nauvoo about noon, and called for the assembling of the Legion. About 2000 men with arms immediately responded to its call. These troops were put under command of Col.

Singleton of Brown county who accompanied Gov. Ford to Nauvoo. The Governor finding all quiet, left Nauvoo about 5 o'clock P. with company of 60 men for the purpose of encamping about seven miles from the city. At about the same time that Governor Ford left Nauvoo, the Prophet and his brother were killed at Carthage, under the following circumstances, ns near as we can ascertain them: Joe and Hiram were both confined in the debtor's room of the Carthage jail, awaiting their trial on a charge of treason.

The jail was strongly guarded by soldiers and anti-mormons, who had been placed there by the Governor. A mormon attempted to rush by the guard for the purpose of forcing his way into the jail. He was opposed by the guard, and fired a pistol at one of them, giving him a slight wound. A general confusion ensued in the crowd around the jail. Joe and his Mormon fellow prisoners it seems had provided themselves with pistols, and commenced firing upon the guard within.

He then attempted to escape from the win- I dow, when a lavndred hails enteied his body, and he fell a lifeless corpse. His brother Hiram shared the same a leading Mormon, was badly wound- ed. There pur intelligence ends--what took' place after this, God only knows. Mormons immediately left- for Nauvoo to carry the news of the death of the Prophet. It is feared that the Mormons at Nauvoo will be so exasperated as to exterminate the Governor and his small force.

The Boreas brought down most of the women and children from Warsaw. It is feared their town is in ashes before ibis. Our citizens were aroused this morning by the ringing of bells and a call to arms. Our three ndepcndi'nt companies art. already in marching order.

Maj. Flood has ordered out the militia of, this regiment, and the steamer Boreas is waiting k) convey them to the scene of action. There is no knowing where this dreadful affair wiH cad. Many have expressed fears that our city is in danger, becnusc most of the Warsaw amilies have tnkon refuge here--but we believe ihere is no danger, we are too fir froin the scene of action. Messengers have just left for Hannibal and the owns below for the purpose of arousing thr Missourians.

The excitement in is iatense ind the anxiety to hear the fate of Gov. Ford and men is very great. ftORWALK The Annual Examination of this Institution will commence on Tuesday, the 9th at o'clock, in of the Seminary, and be continued two days.

It is said Inat plates taking a seat in the Legislature of South Carolina, for the purpose of assisting in the passage of a law to tax all northern fabrics which may be brought into that Stale to find a market.

On his way home, he addressed a public meeting at Richmond, Virginia, and the "Whig says his speech was the most ultra in and the most directly leveled at the root of the existing institutions of this country, of any ever made within its limits. The fact is, the whole design of the Southern Locofocos is to bring about the annexation of Texas, for the purpose of extending the slave power. If they fail in this darling measure, it is their intention to sever'the bonds which bind together this glorious it was with this intention that they brought about the defeat of Van Buren and the nomination of James K. Polk, at the Baltimore convention. How can honest men assist in carrying out this treasonable undertaking? The Po5k Families.

The Albany. Journal says there were two Polk families in North Carolina during the Revolution, one of which espoused the Whig and the other the TORY cause after the declaration of Independence. descendants of the branch still remain WHIGS; while those of the Tory family grew up LOCOFOCOS, and betray tkeir Tory predilections by now going in faver of British Free Trade. It is scarcely necessary to add that James K. Polk, who voted 11- gainst granting pensions to the war-worn veterans of the Revolotion, is a legitimate descendant of the TORY branch of the Polk Family.

First dun from Pennsylvania. The Pittsburgh American gives an account of a most cheering Whig victory in Schuylkill Haven, in Schuylkill county, fust election that has taken place in that State since Folk's nomination. The whole county has always been Locofoco, and in this village the Lo- co'niajority has heretofore almost invariably been as high as seventy. The election was held about two weeks since for borough officers. Both parties rallied all their strength, and the result is the election of Whig officers by a decided majority.

This Is but a foretaste of the overwhelming defeat of the Polkul paity in that State, when the honest voters shall have learned the anti-Tariff and Tory principles of the Locofoco candidate for President.

ASSUMPTION OF STATE DEBTS.

The Locos, in their speeches and resolutions, chaTge the Whigs with being in favor of the assumption of the the States by the General Government, 'and make it one of the principal reasons for opposing the Whig party. The Whig Legislature of Connecticut has passed a resolution stating that "Connecticut is, and ever has been, opposed to ihe assumption of the debts of the several States by the General Government." But the Locofoco Baltimore Convention passed a resolution in favor of assuming the whole public debt of Texas, which amounts to some $22,000,000. Hereafter we hope the Locos will suffer the foolish lie, that the Whig party are in favor of the assumption of the State debts by the General Government, to be put to sleep. PRESIDKNTIAI, ELECTION IN is an article going the rounds of the papers, copied from the National Intelligencer, designating the times for holding the State and Presidential elections in the different States of the Union. It places the Presidential election in this State on the 25th of October next.

This we believe ia not correct. The law of this State, which regulates the time, provides that the election for President and Vice President shall be held on "tlieffth Friday preceding Hie first Wednesday in December." Consequently the Presidentwl election in Ohio will take place this year on the FIRST DAY OF NOVEMBER NEXT. Marriage of the President. President Tyler has perfected "annexation' in spite of the Senate. On Wendesday last, he was married to Miss Julia Gardner, daughter of the late Hon.

David Gardner, who was killed on board the Princeton last ceremony took place-in the Church of the Ascension, N. and was performed by Rt. Rev. Bishop Ondt-rdonk. The wedding party consisted of a brother and sister of the bride, John Tyler, jr.

and lady, two Misses Wickliffe, daughters of the P. M. General, Postmasicr Graham of N. and a few others. Mr.

Tyler is about GO years of age, the bride about 22. She is represented as very beautiful, and was robed simply in white, with a gauze veil depending from a circlet ot white flowers wreathed in her hair. They left the same day for Washington, and it is announced the President will soon visit the Rip Raps, to remain there for some Clctc. Herald. From the Burlington, Vt.
