THE TUNE CHANGED.
The sime men and presses, u ho in I840
deridr-d G.-n. Harrison for DfllllnS\VPl’lllQ let-
ters addressed to him, and who called him
‘Gen. Mum,’ are now complaining of Mr.
Clav for t’tU8Vt‘f’Tlfl£.7 every body's letters off
hand. They do this because their own can
didate, Mr. Piillr? having been beset with
some rather enib.-irrassingqnestions, has b.---
come ‘Gen. Mum’ himself and rt-fusesto an-
swer any more. Thev also Sl'lP(’Tt?d ttl. Gnn
Harrison as the available candid--to of the
VVhigs—but they are ‘iitti-ii’ on that subject.
since they were obliged to throw Van Bu
ren overboard and take up Polk as on ‘avail.
able’ candidate.

Railroad in Broadway. —The Tribune
says. that the Common Council have dr-ci
dad that it is advisable to have n R-..ili-uad
through Bro:itlwa_v, and are only waiting for
a few more petitions before they moye in the
m'-itter. Nearly all landholders and shop
keepers on that street have already signed
petitions. The track will be verv narrow.
the cars being long and having but one seat,
and drawn by one horse. The tracks will
go round Bowling Green and up to 2lst
street. No stoppages excepting to take up
and set down passengers will be allowed.
and officers will be detailed to enforce this
regulation. No omnibus:-s will bethen per-
mitted in Broadway. It is proposed lhatthe
ro.td shall not be granted to a private coni-
pany, but built by the Citv. the proceeds to
be applied to the public debt. A company
hasalready off?-rt-d $200,000 per annum for
five years for ‘the use of the road.
The Ash Pole.—We learn that the tall
ash erected in front of Union Hall, was!prc-
seated to the Whigs by Mr. Sqtiires,of Bark-
hainsted, a gentleman who has given this
pole as a mark of his admiration ofthe great
D=fender of the Protective System. His
patriotic gift deserves the thanks of the
Whigs of the City and of the Convention.
A pole I I5 feet high has been erected near
the Bri lge over the Connecticut, which over
tops the Hickory sticks '(spliced i\i.h Hem-
lock) near‘by, ‘about ayfeet.’ ' ‘ ' ‘ -_'

JAMES G BIRNEY FOEPOLK.
We have assurance from two living witnesses
that the following statement from the Buffalo
Commercial is correct. Birney has come out
with a Jcsuiiical manifesto against a Tariff,
and in general opposition to Whig doctrines and
nieasuges. :11: has been nominated to thc legig-
turure of Michigan oy; tile Loco, .,/-yup-_, County !
We presume he will pretend ,0 decline the
nomination. but it is all an understt. ,, wing." ,
They did not nominate him without kc”,

Mr. Birney was a psssenger on board the
Great Western from Detroit. last Wednesday
On the why down politics as usual formed
the chief subject of convr-rsa'ion, and Mr,
Birney was solicited to give an exposition of
his views. He readily conliented and made
a long Address in the course of which he
took occasion to express his opinions in re-
gard to Mr. Polk and Mr. Clay. Couceding
that his own election was entirely out of the
question, he did not hesitate to rivow prefer.
ence lot Mr. Polk. and for the Locofoco pol.
icy generally. When he had concluded, a
gentleman frotn Cleveland. whose name we
have not learned, replied to Mr. Birney ta-
king up and refuting his arguments scriatim
and exposing the inconsistency of one who.
when held up avovvedly as the Abolition
candidate and the representative of Northern
interests, was yet doing all he could to pro-
mote the election ofone pledged toa i-chemo
designed to extend and perpetuate S~luvery,
and who has also avowed his hostility to the‘
interest ofthe free Northern States. ’At t
