Cedar Grefe Correspondence. Ckdah f.'novK, Sept. 20, 'öS. Mr. Fostkr: In tho Franklin "Democrat of the 2 Ith inst., I hco a communication purporting to havo been written in this place,, butU was evidently written in your town, not far fromyour sanctum, by a "small specimen of humanity that listed to cacUe at flood win through tho "Democrat" eJitorutlhj, the same as ho is doing at you. Tin thing is fishing after tho Clerkship, which if he should fail to get, at the next term, it is difficult to say what he will do, as he is too lazy to work ami can't afford to be idle. Ho don't like Judgo Gant, and is throwing out nga'nst him every dirty, low, contemptiblo insinuation his cor rupt mind can concoct. There r a very great reason wltv this man, and his . about Brookville. don't like the Judge; they know if ho is elected Com missioncr they .will not have an oppor. t unity of filching tho public Treasury, that the Judge has intelligence enough to co and provont their old tricks, and will do it; while pn the other hand their candidate, though a very clever gentle man and neighbor, cannot tell enc figure from another, and eonsequently if elect ed, their stealings will go on nnhcoded. As an evidence of this propensit' of the cliquo I need "tint refer to tho 5185",00 drawn bv nthoritv of tho cliquf in fa-

vor of Bill Robinson, but tcithovt authoritycflaw. I will state also that while tho Jadgo was on the Bench, he prerented somo 812,00 being paid out of the public Treasury to V. S. BurrowB, Esq., for acting as prosecuting attorney, in

placo of Dan. Jones, who was elected to perform tho work, and did not want to pay it out of h!s own pocket, though he had employed Mr. Burrows to do it. This I say ia another reason why the Judgo U not liked by the clique. The writer above alluded to says that tho Judge contributed tw enty-fivo cents to tho support of tho "Young Hickory'' while he was a candidate for the Senate. The people in our Burg, Democrats too Insinuate very trongly that that was just a quarter too much. Ho wys also that tho Judge oflercd to pay 12$ cents for 02 cents worth of whisky to which ho treated his Democratic friends. Now wo think ho ought to havo paid tho C2J cents for they must have drunk that amount if wo are to tako ns a criterion the amount of whisky which Dan and Mike had in them, when they abused friend "Withers hore, sometime since. But he says it is an "unmitigated falsehood" wonder ho didn't say it wus a "Black republican lie," but Its all tho same. To provo thin charge I have but to refer lo the most respectablo citizens of our placo and to Mr. Withers himself. If need be I can bring forward a stronger array of evidence than did Jeff Colcscott in proving Jack Glidewcll drunk at tho Union plc-nie, and if they press mo very hard irlll do it. How can Rtich men I would ask come down hero after euch conduct and ask the peoplo to voto for them? They certainly havo tho audacity of tho dc;il himself. In conclusion I will say that if tho judge does not pay his own expenses during the campaign it will not como out of tho public Treasuiy ai d my word for it if elected ho will see that no money is taken out of tho treasury for electioneering purposes. Tho charge that the judge U penurious is all the better for him, on account of which the peoplo will havo no fear of extravagance by his vote, lie will voto for no appropriations as a Court House fence at an expense of from 5S,000 to 10,ooo, when there is not a dollar in the treasurv. lours, ;üoi.jjiti:u Card from Commissioner Hiatt Bhookvili.k, Sept. 20, 185S. Mn. Lditor: I observe in tho Frunktin Democrat of tho 17th inst, an outrageous attack upon tho Commissioners, full of bitterness, yvt without anj basis. I shall attempt briefly to reply to him, taking him section bv section, as also his dear Goble, who perverts the truth to admiration. Tho writer says that it was unknown to any one, save tho contracting parties," Ac. This is a malicious falsehood; it was the common talk and general understanding that a fen co of this character would bo constructed, for tho last eighteen months, and the public looked for .vard to its consummation. Mr. Goble plc;td ignoruhco of the fact, but he very well' knows that tho matter of construction, Ta n subject ol frequent debate. To stale that it took the citizens of tbe town by surprise, is 6tating that which is false. The question bus been mooted dailj- on the streets; but that matters not. Tho question was it necessary to enclose the public grounds? Was it not tho duty of the Board to akc such precautions as would ensuro I he protection of the shrubbery, nnd also place tho ground proper for further adornment? But to my subject. The first instiga tion in tho vacation of tho street iu the rear of tho Court yard, was by the author of the article aforo mentioned, in order to facilitate tho letting and conktrncting of the said fence. "Consistency, thou art a jewel!' How can he have 'the assurance to present himself at thi juncture, before tho public in denunciation of it? But "pork will boil roinetimcs." The writer takes occasion to eulogiso Mr.'tjoble, for his praiseworthy course in regard to this .matter. Ho stated (only two days previous to the letting) 'that Goblo had been a perfect bore to the Board since his election, and that tho next time he was a candidato ho would b. vetoed." Much has been said in relation to the extravagance ot the Board, its numer ous appropriations, &c. To this I would dav, that upon my entry as a member ofthat body, the tax advulorcm was 50 cents on each $100 vuluation. At pres en, it is loduced to 25 cents, notwithstanding tho edifices which we have erected an honor to tbe community, and an adornment of tho County tho pride of our citizens, and the admira tion of the stranger.

As some objection has been raisud ni regard to tho manner of letting, I would state that all public letting have beer. (60 far as this county is concern) detn mental to the public good. . Witness your jail, of which bo much complaint has been made a perfect nuisance, as will bo shown by your public records. In all instances, where private contracts have been made, I have observed that more attention to the style of tho work; and a greater desire manifested to render satisfaction, seoruingly, as if the contractor's reputation was in the "scales."4 I repeat, that all adrcrtiaed Jottings in this county have proved a disgrace, and only opened the door to peculation, branding tho contractors and laborers with disgrace, and bring ing the fotindcrs Into contumely.. The author writes as If the destiny of the Democratic party rests with us. Tho party has nothing to account for, so far as we aro concerned. We are officers selected by the people to representtheirwibhcs.as wo understand them, and always hold ourselves subject to their behests during our tenure of office. Tho writer, rinding that he could not exercise the influence that ho so much desired, thought he would vent his plcon in tho manner ho did. He "wastes his sweetness upon the desert it air.

The Com tT. A Chicago editor has seen tho run-away, and 'takes on' about It in the following stylo: It looked like a carved ßciincter with a great jewel ip the hilt, wedded, by a hand wo cannot fcc, and sweeping its way through illimitable space. ' &veu without its . 'horrid ha;r, Ihe comet cannot fail to attract attention by the pciuihrr1 I'g'M-r-auJ-the distinct deüning of its di&c. Scieutitic men aro divided as to tho nature of theso bodies, that plunge unbidden into our territorj, double the Capo of Sun, and go away upon such long and mysterious journeys. The weight of opinion, however, is in favor of their being bodies, whose amount of matter is vastly disproportioued to their apparent magnitude, that fluttor about over the blue fields ot apaco, like butterflies, aud like them harmless. But there is another view entertain ed by the terrorists, viz., that ono of these cometary bodies has harth e death warrant, in the tAirt of .its glittering coat, or somewhere, and that when it serves it, the atmosphere will burst into a winding shoot of tire, and our poor planet will bo broken liko a robin's It may be, that thus tho Solar Family will b causal to go into mourning, lor one of its members, that there will bo indeed a c llision of tho celestial trains, und an unspeakable catastrophe; but doe not such n doctrine militate against tho perfection of mechanism that marks tbe construction of tho Universe? Arc there not other concoivo blc ways ia which tho accounts of this planet can bo closed, that will not im ply n derangement in the machiuery of the Htars ? Tun President's Onnion or Doug las. Wo ure, then, utterly oppos d to tho election of Mr. Lincoln and Mr. Douglas to Mr. Douglas nnd Mr. Linoln. We donj- that too Democratic party are calltd upon to take tho one or tne oiucr. it is saia wiai, u i'ouglas should fail of nn election, Lincoln would bo successful. I hat may or may not bo so. It is not a nutation for the democracy to consider. They can make no concession in such cases without an adoption of the heresy which it is their purpose to condemn. A counterfeit is not moro vaiuaoio wun noncsb men Dy beiu" ft near reseinblanco to tho original. A rogtio is not to bo credited in society because bo is so ne omplishod in tho arts of lifo as to pass for a gentle man. Tho democratic party has strength, integrity and sagacity suflieient to confer its honors upon those who seek its wellaro and promote its triumphs. Lot us test this question whether wo can b driven to make choice between two ovils; suppose the appointment of a .Senator from Illinois had been devolved upon Congress would the democratic party limit the election to Mr. Mr. Lincoln nnd Mr. Douglas? Do they cotistituto tho State, embody its wisdom and its institution? Mr. Douglas is the nominco of no party. Ho has the endorsement of no convention. Ho repreieuts no political organization. What, then, is his real position in the present canvass? Acting last winter in opposition to hi former party, he returned home and demanded the endorsement of the people of Illinois of his apostacy.

Marrying a Bridesmaid. ' A few weeks since, in the neighborhood of St. Baranbas, a lover conducted his intended bride to the altar. J The marriage ccrreraony proceeded with" regularity until the fair one was asked the question, Wilt thou haro this man " for thy wedded husband?" to which bhe replied ."X" '.The. poor bridegroom' gazed upon her with astonishment; but no exntmtnlation crmld rndne her trV alter her .resolution. She frankly -re-l-a.l.aaa. W puea mat she bad just seen a gentleman whom he liked better. This declaration soon brought matters to a crisis. The marriage ceremony -was suspended, and the clergyman politely conducted tho parties to tü'teut doors. The bridegroom, more disgusted with such conduct than mortified at his disappointment, declared that his affections from that moment wcro alienated, and that nothing should induco him to tako the lady, even if her resolution should alter; . Mr.' G. B.t the lady'n own brother, finiing him in such good spirits; in. timated tint, as a sylendid dinner wo'd be prepared at his houso, much time' and expense would bo epared if he would rt turn to. the, crnrch and con-, cludö tho ceremony with one of' the " bridesmaids. The hint was Instantly taken, und tho proposals made, and iu the fair one herself had no objection, a special licenso was instantly procured; they got married ut the identical church on the identical morning, and afterward partook of the identical dinner which had been prepared for the changeable one. Eejection of Oregon, Tho Democracy aro making charges against tho Kepublican members of Congress, of voting against the admission of Oregon. Bead the following from tho Portland Orcgonian of August 7th, and see how the people of that Territory feel over it: As we hnvo time and ag.-vin predicted, Congress has adjourned without taking any action for the admission ot Oregon as a State; therefore, we are yet a Territory, nndmibject to tho lawsuuder which wo havo lived sinco the organization of our Territorial Government of tho United States. It is well that we aro so, for our faturogood and welfare. row we ean look with somo degree of confidence and consistency, that our war debt will finally bo paid, and suitable appropriations made by the General Government to dofend us against Indian depredations, and for the sustenance and tupport of our Territorial Government. Tho poople will be relieved from a heavy tax to support a few office seekers who have ever manifested an ardent desire to become prematurely a Stato, to the end that they mijht get come ollko under tho discipline of the party rule which now governs this party-ridden and party-cursed Territory. No Here 8tites frcm the Bred Scott Dtcision Never ! Neverl Gov. Uorwin, in a late speech, after speaking of tho Dred Scott decision, as interpreted by Mr. Buchanan to mean that "Kansas was as much of a slave Stale as Geoigia," said: If that docision 5s to be carried out, and the Territories are thus to bo inoculated with Slavery, and under this unfair influence, a State is formed with a Slave Constitution, and comes before me tor admission, I will never vote for it! Xcccr! never! NEVER! You may roast m alive, I haven't much fat, but it shall be all fried off before I wilt vote to admit a Slave State uuder such circumstances.' inE DRED SCOTT DECISION. Mr. C. was speaking of the so called Dred Scott decision. "Chief Justice Taney thinks," ho said, "that he is tha final appeal in tho United States, but thero is a G.od high abovo him, who it tho Chief Justice of the Universe, and Justice Taney's decision was not made five minutes beforo it went up to that Court and was repealed." , tQ 'You seem to walk more ereet than usual, my friend?
