According to the Democrat of yesterday, "Major Puffer" is of the opinion that our "dispraise is the greatest eulogy" he can reÄve;"but he is not content with it nevertheless, for we find in that parer another pufT of the "eloquent and unanswer able speech!" Wonder if locofoco admiration of that speech will ever abate. Now if we were &o "eloquent" and so "unanswerable" we would be 0 modal as not to say so on every occasion that offered.

The Indiana State Sentinel says the same essentially as we do of its mendacitv. Democrat. You dirty things, you, it was only the day before you pronounced us a "decent fellow,'' and we gave you credit for telling the truth once. But you arc at your tricks again, lying as hard dsyou can. You seem to liava the fear of neither God, man nor the Devil before you, and we have no hope that you will ever reform and we so .announce it to the public. CO" does not th?

S

CO Gen. Lane is on a tramp through the State making speeches abusive of Gen. Taylor

and all his friends, in hopes of seeming popu larity enough to get himself entered for U. S Senator, He, demagogue like, professes great love for the 2nd Regiment, which he fays has been badly treated, and he evinces his love for the regiment after the following fashion: Ges. Lane, stated in his speech at the Mar ket House, on Saturday night, that the 2nl Ind. Regiment, immediately after their retreat at the Rattle of lJuena Vista, were rallied by himself, ami went into the fight, and fought throughout the day like veterans, except Lot Bowles au I Capt. Rousseau, who ran aicay like coteardi!!! A. - Itulletin. Not content with saying in his report that th regiment had forever disgraced itself, he is now busy on the stump spreading the foul slan der that a brave and meritorious officer of that regiment "ran away like a coward"! To what dirty tricks locofocosare compelled to stoop in order to tu.ry favcr with their part)? CO" The Democrat is very fond of asking questions, now suppose it answers one or two for us, just for civility sake like: Did or did not Gen. Lam?, while in New Orleans on his way to Vera Cruz, say that there was not the slightest ground of just complaint against Gen Taylor on account of his report? 2nd. Did or did not Gen. Lane say in the same place and at the Fame time, that if Gen. Taylor would come out as a no-party candidate for the Tresi ilency, he would support him with all hisheart? We hope if the Democrat undertakes to an swer these questions it will do so "decently .' CO" What a pity the Democrat can't tell the same story twice hand-running. Only a Jay or two ago, according to that print, Whiggery was killed stone dead upon the nomina tion of Van Buren Cass or Mattv, one of two locofocos was sure to be elected Presilent; but ou yesterday its cry was not that the Whig party, but the country, is in danger "th t the Republic is is dancer from tue MACI11NAT10NS0F DFSIG5ING DEMAGOGUES, HEAD ED by the TBAITOB Vax Bub ex." From which we understand that the Whig party and Old Zack is perfectly safe, and Cass, Van Buren and the locofocos are tone skunks. Hurra for Old Zack! Mß. VAX RtrnF.N's T.PTTrn Tho f.illnrvinff . . ,.,0 is the letter of Martin Van Buren, read at the Buffalo Convention : Linden wald, Aug. 2, 1848. Gentlemen : It has occurred to me that a direct communication of my feelings upon a single pu 111 1 may, in one eveui, serve to remove embarrassment in your action at Buffalo. You all know from my letter to the Ulica Conven tion, and the con ride uce you repose in my sin cerity how greatly the proceedings of that body in relation to myself were opposed to my earnest wishes. Some of you have also had opportunities to satisfy yourselves, from personalobservation, of the sacrifices of feelings and in terests which I iucurred in submitting my fu ture actions to its control. INoneof you need be assured of the extent to which these feelings were relieved by the consciousness, that. in yielding to the decision of that body, the use ol tnr name was necessary to enable the ever faithful democracy of New York to sus tain themselves 111 the extraordinary position in which they have been driven by the injus tice 01 others. 1 availed myself ofan oppoitunily,to testify to them my enduring gratitude for the many favors I have received at their hands. The convention of which you form a part. may, if wisely conducted, te productive ot more important conseqences than any which las cone Dolore it, save only that which formed the lederal constitution. In one respect it will be wholly unlike any political convention wiiicli Has been held in the U. States since the present organization of parties. It will in a great degree be composed of individuals who have all their lives been arrayed on . dilTereut s'uL'S in politics, State and national, and who still differ in regard to most of the questions that Have arisen 111 the administration of the respective governments, but who feel them selves called upon, by considerations of the ugliest import, to suspend rival action upon other subjects, and unite their commoa efforts lor the establishment of a single end the pre vention of the introduction of human slavery into trie extensive territories of the U. States, now exempt from that great evil, and which are destimd, if propeily treated, tobe converted into a wilderness ot free minds. I need not say how cordially I concur in the sentiment which reart's this grrat object as one sacred in the sightof Heaven, and the accomplishment of which is due to the memory of those just and gnat men, long since, we. trust, mad, tierreel in its courts, who laid the foundation of o.ir government, and made, as they fondly hop ed, adequate provision for its perpetuity and ujcess. and indesnensalle to the future honor anJ paramount wellaie of our confederacy. It may happen, in the course ollhe delibcratioasol the convention, that you will become alisfied that the great end of your proceedings can, in yoi r opinion, he best promoted by an abandonment of the Utica nomination. You will not, in that event, want assurances of my uniform desire never again to be a candidate or the Presidency, or any other public office ; 1.1 . . 1 . dui you may apprenenu tuai 11 inigiu noi ue agreeable tome lobe superceded in the noinination after what has taken place in regard to it. It is upon this point that 1 desire to protect you against the slightest embarrassment, by assuring you, as 1 very sincerely and very cheerfully do. that, so far from experiencing any mortification from such a result, it would be most satisfacio-y to my feeiingsaiid wihes. Wishing the Convention success and honor in its patriotic efforts, and begging you to ac cept for yourselves assurances of iny unfeigned rexpect, lam, very sincerely, vou friend and servant. M. VAN BUREN. To the New York delegales in the Buffalo Convention COI a certain jack-leg lawyer is anxious to be known as one of the editors of the Demo erat, can he not accomplish his object as well by having his name inserted in the paper as by runuing round the city retailing in advance of its issue the substance of its Lading editorial. But as the chap says in the play, it's no bust n?ss of ours, we mean no offence, we only ask the question, that's all. No allusion to Major Puffer this time.

The Journal publishes' a coinnitn?s2lU.n from Newburgh, Ind., signed, as the editor tays, by three responsible men, giving an account of a speech delivered by Gen. Lane at that place. These three worthies say that Gen.

Lane denounced Gen. Taylor as "a liar." If the editor of the Journal had been acquainted with Gen. Lane, he would have known that this was incredible. General Line is quite above Using such language toward Gen. Taylor. He took occasion to vindicate the conduct of the Indiana sccoud regiment from the aspersions cast upon them by Gen. Taylor's report. He did not, however, charge General Taylor with intentional falsehood, nor docs Gen. Lane believe Gen. Taylor capable of it. The allusion to the meeting in Mexico, to ratify the nomination of Casand Butler, is not correct. Gen. Lane did not get up the meeting. He was invited to it by those who did. Instead of telling the volunteers that they were already citizens he told them just the contrary. Lou. Dem. This was evidently authorised by.Gen. Lane himself. Three respectable geutlemen testified in a letter to us that Lane, in his speech at Newburg, denounced Gen. Taylor as a liar, but he disavows the language. Probally he forgets the precise words he made use of in the burningardor of his Locofoco eloquence. He now talks about the "aspersions" cast by Gen. Taylor upon the second Indiana regiment, lie knows very well that Gen. Taylor, in his report, said nothing of that regiment'but what the reports of its own officers coustrained him to say lhat in fact he sought to excuse their retreat rather than speak harshly of it. A high ly respectable gentleman, a personal friend of Gen. Lane, informed us three days ago that he heard the Gen. in New Orleans, while on his way to Vera Cruz after his furlough, say with especial emphasis that there was not the slightest ground of just complaint against Gen. Taylor on account of his report, and furthermore our informant heard Gen. Lane say at the same time, that, if Gen. Taylor would come out as a no-party candidate for the Presidency, he would support him with hi? whole heart. The paragraph quoted - above says that Gen. Lane did not get up the Cass and Butler meeting of the U. S. soldiers in Mexico after the ratification of the treaty. If he did not get it up, he presided over it and was the most active man in the management of its proceedings. Unless w e are misinformed, he made a speech at it, aud, when a subordinate officer from Ten nessee, a friend of Taylor, rose to reply to the Locofoco speeches, Lane by his authority eith er as president of the meeting or as General of the army refused to let him proceed. The par agraph in the Democrat says that Lane, "in stead of telling the volunteers at that meetinw that they were already citizens, told them just the contrary." This is by no means probable, for it was proclaimed in the very preamble and the resolutions of the meeting, that, the war being at an end, the volunteers were no longer soldiers in the service of thir country but private citizens with all the rights of such citizens. Now it is not at all likely that such resolutions would have been unanimously adopted by the meeting if Gen. Lane, the pres ident of the meeting, had -'told the volunteers just the contrary." Nevertheless the poor fel lows found when they arrired at 2s. Orleans,' that, although they had been graciously per mitted to consider themselves "private citi zens with all the rights of such citizens" when their partizau iulluence was wanted in Mexico, Uww .UUH.I.IU..1CAH.U, , v. . . ... , , , they w ere neither more nor less than soldiers , . . when the Administration wantedthe privilege oi stowing mem away ami packing them oil in; rjgs and wretchedness to .distant parts of the country.

Very soon after Major Monroe rode up and sug gested to me that 1 had better take a position in the ranche. I was then preparing to do so, having discovered a minute before a large body ol cavalry of the enemy advancing towards us, and immediately ordered the battalion lo march by the flank towards the ranche. Before reaching it, however, the enemy's cavalry made a descent on a squadron of horsemen of what command I do not know. 1 think, how ever, they were Kentucky, who had sudJenlr thrown themselves belw cen the enemy and the ranche. At this instant Maior Munroe called nie two or three times to throw my men into the houses. I th rowed a part of ihem into a stock-pen of doby walls about as high as a man's boulders, anil in which was Major Gorman's command. The balance 1 thro wed in the ad joining houses, with an order lo make ready to tire. Our squadron of horse gave one shot probably with carbines and retreated into the ranche. We were not abls to fire upon the enemy until they came, perhafs, within fifty p ice of us, in consequence of their being covered by our retreating horsemen. Many of our rifles told, notwithstanding. During this little affair I have no recollection of seeing Major Gorman. Captain Rutaw was present, and was very actie." Tiiese Locofoco scamps pretend to have great regard for the character of the 2nd Raiment,

and seem to regard themselves as being especially called upon to defend them from the injustice which has been done them in the official reports of the battle; yet, whenever they can find a prominent Whigamong them, who supports Gen. Taylor, they do not hesitate a moment to blacken his good name with charges of cowardice and dishonorable conduct. Such hypocrisy and meanness must and will receive the condemnation of all honest and truth loving Democrats as well as Whigs. In the case of the Capt. Rousseau, it is shown beyond cavil or dispute, that they have wilfully anil maliciously slandered him, and such is their uni

form and invariable course on all occasioos.A more barefaced set of liars and calumniators never disgraced any community, not even of highway robbers and murderers. 1 his may ap pear to some to be rather harsh language, but the course pursued by the miscreants fully jus tifies it use.

Well has Di. Daily, the editor of the lead inganti slavery piper in the Union, rernatk ed: "The interest and honor of the country, and even licedoin itself, would be safer in the hands of Taylor, the Slave holder, than Cass ihe Servile." fjlt is a notorious fact that forty-nine out of every fifty of the volunteers who ser ved under (ien. Taylor, in Mexico, now i'o lor him heart and soul entirely regardless of what their former predilections may hive been. Almost the only exceptions to this rule are to be found in scoundrels who havo been punished for theit villainy by Gen. Tajlor. The old soldier had such an inate loathing and contempt for everything dishonest and dishonorable, that he invariably denounced all who were broti ( betöre him for stealing and other flagrant crime?, as be ing unfit for soldier, and who would cower before an enemy ; and he did not hesitate to inflict on all such severe punishment. Whenever you hear one ot old Rough and Ready's Volunteers abusing him you may net i: down as a pretty certain fact lint such volunteer has been caught stealing, or been found cuilty of some dirty action, for which Gen. Taylor pave him an opportunity to learn how he liked to hive his thumbs tied. Every honest and honorable mm that served under Gen.

From the Chicago Tribune. A BIT OF ROMANCE. It is a (rile, but at the same tim, true reim:k, that the real incidents of life commit, ly occurring around us, possesses a far more lomnntic interest than the fanciful ones con ceivtd in the teeinii g btain of the novelist. Of this the following o'er true tale, told u. in btief by the steward of the packet boat Louisi'tua, oil Satutday, will finish an illus trillion. Some ten yetrs ngo, as our readers will remember, there was what was terrae.d . a rebellion" in Cau ida, and after the 'ptriots" were subdued, some were summirily executed, and a portion banished, for a Ion term of years, to Australia. ' Must of thes latter were men of ramilies, from which the were torn without rncicy, to expiate in a fa distant land, by imprisonment and hard la hnr, the Clime of having failed in their at tempt lo rid iheir country of ihe evils of mi government. We think they acicd very tin wisely in proceeding to ihe extremes ihe. did, but this point we will not slop to consider. With one of these expirtiated meuoutale has chiefly lo do. Trorn seven to eight weary years lie lud borne the Intd?hip9 ol a lonely captivity, hopeless of ever seeing home or friends again, when a general amnesty was proclaimed by the British Government in regard .lo all, with one oi two exceptions, of lhoo win

had been concerned in the rebellion. O i hero was now at liberty, and his first thou was lo seek his home. But he had no mean to pay his passage ihure, and he accordingly shipped on b aid a whaling vessel, which a . i j i t i too cnuoi two years moro, lauueu mm on h's native shores. Wife, children and friends filled his tl o" s and he hastened on lo his old residence in vatiaua. r.veiyiuiug tcinaineu as it hm been friends and neighbors greeted him a i it i.i ne passeu along out now ins ne art- sunk within hitn to find the home-stead deserted and to learn that bis wife had been married two years to another, supposing i!ip husband of her youth to be dead She and her new fond mate had left that part, o the country and settled somewhere in Uli nois. . The poor man felt desolate, indeed. an he determined to see, and if possible to re claim ins wiie anu cinuien. Alter wear) travel and tn uiy inquiries, he traced themt Knox county, Illinois, where ;hey were com fortably settled in their new home. Tiieie ho presented himself a few days since. Tin wife could not have been more surprised ot pained to sec an apparition from the grave, for she had long considered him as dead. The new husband, too, was rather disagree ably surprised io see before him a claiina i lor his wife. What should be dune? Toe first husband was anxious lo obtain the lady. the second was dismchued to give her up, looking upon his claim as good. They were reasonable petp!o all around The original claimant remained in the neigh borhood a couple of weeks, during whicl time the matter was frai.kly talked over. At last the rivals came to the very just am rational conclusion that the lady was the pro per person to make a final decision of ilu question, aud to her it was maiually agreed to refer if, giving her tune to cousidor it in all it healings. What m ire perplexing position could a womiu oe piaceu in man tiuir Here were twomcn with almost equil claims upon hei uthcttnn.
