From Ae Uwiijr Sun Timet. WALTER ARMSTRONG. In another part of our paper to-day, will be found a communication from Waller Armstrong, the defunct candidate for Senator in this county, which we publish at his request. Wo suppose it is intended for the "explanations" which ho promised

the people of Dearborn, through tho Palladium of the 9th inst. But instead of explaining the manner in which he was so shamefully beaten at tho late election, ho has dealt out to us a large portion of that vilo -calumny, billingsgate and slang, with which, it is well known, he has been surcharged from the day of his birth up to the present time. Wo are well aware that we can add nothing to our reputation in a personal conflict with such a man as Armstrong an individual who can lay no claim to either moral or political integrity, and who has made it his business to bnlly his way through life- hut still we shall not shrink from our duty wo will meet him and expose him still further. In the commencement of his article he says we have made a furious, unprovoked, pitiful, and cowardly attack upon him. No man but one writhing and groaning under tho agonies of a most shameful defeat, would make such a charge as this. We mado no attack upon him, and wo indignantly throw back tho charge in his teeth. Wo saw a paragraph in the Palladium, saying in substance that Armstrong would explain the manner in which he was defeated. Wc considered any at tempt at explanations, (after the manner in which Armstrong had electioneered through the country,) as insulting to the People, and wo exposed it. Armstrong saw our remarks, and his guilty con- ' science rebuked him for his meanness, and he gave vent to his feelings in an abusive and malignant attack upon us, without attempting to explain why and wherefore he was beaten. Ho says the election was not conducted fairly, and charges us with basely stating what wc knew to be false. Wc have asserted before, and we repeat it now, that the electien was conducted fairly and honorably on our part, and we now most posilivelyfcdcny having made a single false statement. "We can triumphantly appeal to the people of Dearborn to sustain our assertion. It was our duty as the Editor of a public journal, to expose the disgraceful falsehoods and tales 'which Armstrong circulated, in order to secure his election, and because wc fearlessly and independently published tho irhole truth, he has charged us with stating what we knew to bo false. Yes, we published the truth in relation to Armstrong, and if, in so doing, we aided in his defeat, all that wo have to say is, that we still glory ih it. We, loo, arc pleased to believe that the people "arc mado of sterling, unbending stuff, open to the convictions of truth and reason, and ever ready to render justice" unto such mean and contemptible men as Waller Armstrong. He would now no doubt like to flatter the people, and draw forth their sympathy but it is useless, for in this county ho is down, down, "like Lucifer, never moro to rise." In relation to our assertion that Mr. Pkimer was pledged to go for the removal of tho County k Seat, we hive to say that wc had and still have sufficient authority for making that statement. He wants us to satisfy tho public on the subject. The public arc already satisfied, doubly satisfied; and wc ask Armstrong to point out to us a single man who voted for Mr. Plumer, that now regrets having done so; and for every one so pointed out, we will Cmdtcn who voted for Walter Armstrong, that now despise him, and will iravcit vote for him again. His hypocritical sctions on the day of the election have sealed his fate forever in this county. Wc know nothing cf any statements Mr. Plumer may have mado in tho upper part of the county; it is tho first wo have heard on tho subject, and if false, we have no doubt Mr. P. will deny it promptly. For our own part, wo believo Armstrong has fabricated this story himself. He ought, however, to know that if he circulated falsehoods himself, it does not follow as a matter of course that every other candidate dono the same. He says the late senatorial election was conducted on different principles from any other that preceded it; but had he been elected then it would have been all right. His experience and his qualifications, he says, were thrown aside, and the question narrowed down to residence in a particular pot, and political belief. And docs this, we ask, change the nature of the lato election from all former ones? Wo think not. Armstrong knows very well, and every citizen cf tho county knows, that ho never was elected to office on his own merits in his life. He, like many another men without talents, character, or claims, has rode into office in times of high political excitement, when the question was, "Does he belong to our party ?" But that party which has heretofore sustained and promoted him, aro now done with him he has lurried traitor, and they aro pleased to find that they arc at length rid of a very troublesome hanger on. We aro ready to confess that we made a misstatement in relation to Mr. Plumer's majority in in Lawrcnccburgh township instead of 1 10 votes, it is but 46. We mnde the error in subtracting, as may easily be seen; yet Armstrong seizes upon it as proof that wc published falsehoods prior to the election. He thinks that he was not the favorite of the Lawrenceburghers; and in fact, if we judge by the votes given, he was not much of a favorite any place in the whole county. Armstrong says that his "course during the whole canvas3 was open and honorable." Wo hardly believe that he can find ten men in this county who will back him in that assertion. Honorable indeed ! If he acted honorable, then wc mistake tho meaning of the English language. He says ho mado no bargains, mounted no hobby-horse. But ho did try to rouse party spirit, and get up an excitement, for ho well knew that that was his only hope. He also says that he had no supple tool to write and publish lies at his bidding; and 'tis no wonder. He kept us pretty busy telling the truth about him we had no time to publish lies; and indeed it would have kept any man busy to have printed all his lies. He points ti3 lo former elections, when ho was favored with the confidence of the people of this county. This was when he was supported on party grounds. He says ho has never been beaten when tho question was asked "is he honest, is he capable ?" Now this is truly ridiculous, for ho well knows that it was decided at the late election, in language which he cannot misunderstand, that he was neither honest nor capable. He calls us creatures, managers, wire-woikers, and strangers, and insinuates that we have not the control of our own paper. He may call us anv thing ho pleases; for he is too well known to do us the least injury; he is known to be destitute of all .claims to the title of gentleman and we view him as the very essence of all meanness. Yc, even such as WALTER ARMSTRONG, and as such he stands condemned at the bar of an intelligent auchhijb minded People.

tVe are at a loss lo know what he means by his allusion to the company wc keep. We associate indiscriminately with the citizens of our village, "without distinction of party;" and we aro proud to say that we can associate with men whom Armstrong dare not approach, even on terms of common

sociability. Wo too, can point to the records of all courts of justice in the Universe, and say that our characters are unsullied and unpolluted by a violation of tho laws of our country. Can Walter Armstrong do the same? We are now done with his communication, but are not yet done with Walter Armstrong. He has charged us with "basely stating what we know to be false," and in order to let tho people see that we did not publish all we knew, we now make the following specific chaiges against him, and we hope he will not "blink" the subject, but come out openly and vindicate himself. "Nothing short cf this will satisfy the public." 1st. Wo ask him to deny having said that all the devils in hell could not prevent him from being elected. 2d. We osk him to deny having said that tho PEOPLE could be bought and sold like cattle in the market, for thirty pieces of silver. 3d. Wc ask him to deny having endeavored to get up a party excitement, and of saying in a letter to a political friend, "Oh do sustain your Jack son elector." 4th. We ask him to deny having voted for Noah Noble for Governor. . 5th. We ask him to deny having said on the evening of tho election that he did not know what had got into the Jacksonians, and that they were a set of d d fools for voting for Noah Noble. Now we not only ask 'Walter Armstrong to deny these charges, but we even DARE him to do it. Wo hope he will give us an opportunity to wipe out the foul stigma which he has endeavored to cast upon us. Ho willahvays find us willing to "stoop" low enough to expose falsehood when wc detect it, and hold the author up as an object for "Scorn to point her slow, unerring finger at." From (he Rising San Toms. Messrs. Editors Permit me to say that I have no knowledge of making use of that uncouth statement, that "you had reported a falsehood in respect to my being a pledged candidate," as asserted by Walter Armstrong, in his communication published in your last paper". The phrase "false" I do not own; but you, gentlemen, will allow mo, injustice to tho Wilmington committee, who called on me to know if I would accept their nomination for State Senator, to say to you and to the world, that no pledge was asked of me, and none was given, and for the truth of this I refer to Capt. Stephen Wood and Mr. Thos. K. Cole, of Wilmington. I presume, Sirs, you would think no better of me, if it. were the case. I think, however, that I am all that you could wish me to bo in respect to the 'County Seat question; for let my private views be what they may, I now consider myself the servant of the People; and so far as I am competent, shall obey their will and prosecute the wishes of tho People in all things, and that with pleasure; and I do intend to convince the People in the lower and upper ends of the county, that the conGdence reposed in me shall net knowingly be betrayed. I shall have but one object in view, and that will be to do right; and if in this I shall fail, it will be for the want of ability, and not integrity. Very respectfully, vours, DANIEL PLUMER. Manchester, Sept. 2, 1S34. OUR SENATOR. We publish to-day a communication from Mr. Daniel Plumer, cur Senator elect, in which he denies having made use of the language imputed to him by Walter Armstrong. We were decidedly of opinion that this would be the case, for although wo did not know Mr. Plumer personally, yet we had heard enough about him to believe that he was not the man whom his vanquished opponent has represented him to be. Mr. Plumer also very candidly states that the gentlemen who waited upon him to ascertain if he would accept a nomination, did not ask any pledge, and none was given. This fact speaks largely in Mr. Plumer's favor, for it would seem that these gentlemen resposed sufficient confidence in his integrity, without asking him to make a direct pledge. Iy a reference to our file, we discover that we have never yet said that Mr. Plumer alone was "pledged" to go for the removal of the County Seat. In our paper of July 28, we said, in reference to the County meeting Ticket, that it was "pledged to support the removal of the County Seat;" and now, we have no notion of backing out from what we said then. We considered the acceptation of the nomination a sufficient "pledge" that the County meeting Ticket would represent tho majority of the people of this county, if elected. The candidates were not asked by the Committee who nominated them, to give a mortgage on their honor and integrity, nor were they purchased for a few pieces of silver it was sufficient for the Committee to know that they were all upright and honorable men. liisirfg Sun Times. TIIF, RISING SUN TIMES AGAIN. Messrs. Editors of Ihe Palladium: As I anticipated, the managers of the Rising Hun , Times aro out on me again in their paper of the 3l'th ult. and Oth instant, in full yelp of liar, dastard, and all the common place epithets of pot-house bullies. The worst language they are masters of, is brought in requisition and directed at me, with the skill end proficiency cf regular graduates of tho Five Points, j iev iorK, ortne bwamp, .Louisville. 1 am conscious that in noticing them and their productions, I am descending from the level every decent man ought to hold in society. But when it is considered that their paper may be circulated where they aro 4- 1- Tl .1 i l i . i ma Kiiuvvn, i noue to do naruoneu ior tnis seemmor breach of propriety. Sometimes we arc under 3er th py, tho' little to necessity of stepping aside to chastise a pupp uy the act we may dirty our fingers and do 1 cure his snarlish, yelping propensities. With these preliminary remarks, I shall proceed to make a few comments on some late productions in the Times. The late attack, as well as the former one, already noticed, is excused by the managers of the Times, on the ground that I had appeared in the papers to explain the manner of my defeat. Now there is no ground for this assertion; and I repeat, what I before, in substance, said, that my name, nor an allusion to me, is not to be found in the article, under which they wish to hide themselves from the charge of attacking me without cause. With as much propriety might they have assailed every person who voted for me. But admitting that I had appeared in the papers, and stated that at a convenient time I would make some explanations and statements in reference to the late election, would that have warranted the Times in assailing me in the base, ungentlemanly manner they have done? I submit it to the candid and honest of all parties whether it would not have been more liberal, more just, and more becoming thc high character of conductors of a public press, to have waited until I had made the explantions or statements, and then, having some data to work upon, they might understandingly have filed their exceptions, and made such comments as they may have thought proper under the circumstances. I do not know what the public may think of it, but it seems to me that a man under our laws, musl really comnjiit some crime, before he

can justly be punished; and not on bare suspicion of intention, catch him up and deal with him as a guilty offender. The Times managers suspected, (they could no more from the evidence,) that Walter Armstrong was writing some explanations, in reference to the election, and in the eagerness of fiendish passion, they put him on trial before the bar of public opinion, on a charge of committing tho deedll

Shame! sham! vh.ro is thv blush, that thou dost of the era- j uui liianciu ut ,i illicit! iat- - - ven who dares to deal so unjustly!

This charge I need take no trouble to prove, because I think it is fully sustained by Mr. Plnmor himself, in his nublished statement, though in very entle terms, to be sure. Indeed, it was not , to be expected, that after the managers had played into his hand so well, he would bluntly tell them, in j their own paper, they lied.

It would therefore appear that the Times had no ntlm-;tv. nr tlifl statement of a vledsrc. on the part of Mr. P. and herein I ask the public to determine, wh had ence b republished the three first paragraphs of their re marks on Mr. Plumer's letter. The way they en deavor to craivl out from a he there, "is a sin to Crocket comnass L the mo come to pledged majority He must swear it was "surrounded by swamps" half the season under water and altogether a little tho worst place between Maine and Florida.

Hut mark the change. .Vow, the election is over, it is all sufficient in the view of the T,--, ti,ii. Di i, ...;n r itya pledge, if it c an be called one, every one knows, was plainly given in mv published address to thc voters of the county before'the election. The managers of the Times allege that I was never elected to office, except in high pirty times. This they know, or should know, is a falsehood cfj the first water, unclouded bv anv qualifying circumstance. I was a candidate for the legislature in 1S-0 nn,l ol.vtrtJ in -nrint; irltli lloo llusett. Pollock and Onion. Messrs. Penner and St. niol.. nrrm;.nnf Tnol-cnn rnon w-rrr Mn,Klnl n f the same time, and defeated. In the follow 1830, 1 was again a candidate for the same and re-elected by a majority of all tho votes given. This vear. a.s well as in 1S29. two from each nartv. composed the delegation; so that it is very plain that oartvism did not control, or influence either election, in i;u, when the parties were arraved, and each .v . : , had its ticket, I was not a candidate: nor have I been since before the people, until this year. The charge then, that I owe whatever political honors I have been favored within Dearborn county, to high party excitement, falls to the ground. But to show further the unfairness of the charge, I would name that I was appointed county treasurer, in 1, by the then board of supervisors, a majority of which! was opposed to me in politics; and have held that office, by re-appointment, every year since. If I was, or am, the bid man, the partizan, tho unprincipled creature, the Times would have tho people believe, it is strange, passing strange, they would so often favor me with their votes; or that the board of county commissioners, composed of political opponents should have surrendered to my keeping the public funds of the county. No, ye suppletools of the Times ye slanderers of private character ye inducers Gf inoilending innocence the poisonous malignancy of ycur nature, like the hated snake, has binded your eyes, else you would see that Walter Armstrong stands on too firm a footing to be affected by your puny missiles. He has lived too long in the county is too well acquainted with thosaaround him been too often honored with their suffrages, to be politically prostrated by a few adventurous strollers after fortune fugitives from character, per chance from justice whoso chins scarce give evidence of a claim to the appellation of freemen. True it is Walter Armstrong has been a candidate, and defeated by what means is well understood. But is this a crime? lie hopes it docs not attaint a man, to lose an election, otherwise he mustcommisEerate the hapless lot of many of his respected fellow citizens. The lion, irentleman who now holds the seat of senator of this countv, by election, was on sundry occasions a candidate "and defeated; vet it was never alleged that he, in consequent, "wns a rogue, a liar, or a bad man. I do not allude to these things, out cf any ill feeling, but simply to show what miserable expedients have been resorted to bv tlie manaScrs ci thc 1 "Jics, to mate up any thing llkc a tolerabla argument against me. The managers prate and make a flourish about their characters, as if it was a matter of consequence to the public to know they have exceedingly fine, transparent ones unsullied "by a violation of the laws of our country." Now, Idonot pretend to compare characters with the gentlemen of the Times. I vie not for such distinction. Aline has been j long formed, and like many eld things, may be a lit tle out ot tashion a little too precise to suit modern notions; while theirs, being newly acquired, (having ieu iiioir oiu one oenuui as a patrimony to their friends, perchance a deserted w e,) are no doubt cut and modelled in the latest style, to suit the Mr;i ot the Times. 1 he "records of the courts of justice" contain nothing ot which I am ashamed. Duric my long residence here, it has sometime (verv sol" domj oeen my misioriune to come m contact with bad men, and be compelled, in self defence, to resort to "sturdy argument." The court records in two or three instances, perhaps, in 23 or 80 years, show charges against me of this nature; and even now, the tear ot adding another to thehst, would not prevSent anv verv sonona narner to mv n minictnnpn little wholesome correction to certain gentlemen in j j J -MMumijiu"buckram," should they come in my way. The managers of the Times put a number of interrogatories to me, and dare a denial of them. Were I to put myself on my dignity, as they have done, I would ehuCie them off, with scarce a notice. But I will not shrink nor blink a fair reply to all of them. fo the 1st, 5?d and 5th, I oppose ati unqualified eni -

In the boat of the moment, vexed with the ungenerous conduct of those who should have been my friends, I may, and probably did, make uses of some harsh expressions, in reference to certain individuals; but I am certain I never did, in terms, assume the confident tone alleged to me in the 1st, nor express the sentiment attributed to me in tho t!J question. The 5th is too baro-ficcd a story, to require a

single remark. 1 he od, may be true in part: urn i I may have written a private letter to political i - l i friend, exposing thc underhanded means resort to by my political opponents to defeat me, as a triei Uf the administration.

And it the managers will do me the Uxor admit as true. I never p guise my vote for governc in that election. 1 felt it T never nretonded to hide or fcisgovernor.
