From die Indiana Democrat. The following letter will be considered objectionable and uncalled for by some; but our duty to the Democratic party generally, in our State, induces us to give it publication: "LAWRENCEBCROir, Oct. 14. ' Gentlemen- Your account of the situation of our party, so far as State officers and the patronago

of the general government, i .-. concerned, looks rather ominous of defeat at our next Presidential election; and the recent appointments by the general government, also look as if the vote of Indiana was not desired; and our aspiring friends are, some of them, coming to the conclusion, that the safest way of obtaining political promotion ht Administration and to attach them-

13 IU Hl v.-w -. selves to the Whigs, in our State elections. NowI, for one, am opposed to kicking up a fuss, when I fail in getting my friends appointed to office; and 1 think the treat body of the Jackson party were never more determined to act in concert, in national and state elections. I was opposed to the appointment of Mr. Holman as Judge of the District Court, because he had been the Whig candidate for Senator of the United States against Gen. Tipton believing that the Whig party ought to be suffered to provide for their own defunct candidates; and further, because I believe him to be a superannuated old man who, in his youth, had outraged every thing likeLiterature and moral refinement, by his novel, entitled, "The Errors of Education;" and whose present usefulness, to atone for his early vitiated taste, found a theatre better adapted to his qualification in preaching the Gospel and acting as superintendent of Sabbath Schools and other benevolent institutions of the day, in which labors I bid him God speed. But inasmuch as he is appointed, I will be content. I believe him to bean honest and good" man; but far inferior, in point of qualifications, to Gen. Howard or Mr. Whitcomb, who were applicants, with him, for the same office. But, gentlemen, I will never desert my party for small errors in judgment like these. And believing the be9t and only way to sustain our party is to elect a Democratic Governor at the next election and it being necessary to agree upon the man for a candidate at an early day, would suggest, that the claims and qualifications of James Whitcomb, Esq. betaken under consideration as a candidate for Governor, at our next election. No man in the state, I believe, would! make a more able Governor, or give greater character or dignity to the state. His age, education and o-eneral qualifications which have been tested on numerous occasions in the State Senate give him claims equal at least, if not superior, to any man in the state, for that office; and if he should be nominated by a State Convention, I will risk my judgment that the people will elect him against any Whig competitor that can bo raised againsS himTheGreat Magician' of our State as you call him, is turning his attention to the Senate; and the WhigB

My plan is, to go ahead for the State offices, and let the- National government continue to bestow its favors and appointments on opposition men. I believe the President and his Cabinet have been deceived; but once give the Democratic party State control, and all these evils will be corrected at once. I see no good reason for any Jackson man to desert his party, because the patronage of the general government in our state is against us. We are in fault ourselves and it is time we had corrected the evil.

To thnsn who have seen the country, it would be use

less to recommend or praise it; to those who have not visited it, we would say, go and see the ease with which plenty is produced, and learn the facility with which the husbandman grows rich, and the pleasures and comforts of that truly interesting portion of Indiana. Ind. American.

Cuitixo Hams. The best way of curing hams

that we know of, is, as they are separated from the body of the animal, they are to be closely packed in a clean, common sized barrel: and to a full

barrel, add a pickle by dissolving eight quartres of

Liverpool salt and tour ounces ot saltpeter, in a

suflicent quantity of rain or brook water to cover

the whole. Jn tins situation they are to remain until removed to the smoke-house, which should he from eight to twelve week3. The smoking process is to be conducted altogether with the wood of the sugar maple, or hickory, the former preferred. When sufficiently smoked, those that are intended for immediate use, may be hung up in a dark garret, or if the weather is cool, in tho cellar;

as freezing, particularly, if often repeated, is very injurious. Those that are intended for summer use arc to be well whitewashed with lime, and. when dry, wrapped in paper and packed away in new dry iiouse ashes, and then set in a cool place in the cellar. Particular care is requisite to prevent its becoming heated too much while in the smoke house, as this is very destructive to its fine flavor.

The toughest sTonv yet. Tho Wesforrr Herald publishes a letter dated Bolerifrey (Miss.) Aug. 13th, which contains a little the toughest story it has ever fallen to our lot to recount. It seems that upon some public occasion, the inhabitants, male and female, of the aforesaid BoJevilte, assembled to partake of a public fcasf. Tho night before, some young men secreted in the bushe about 200 yards from the table, a nine pound fieUI piece, heavily loaded, intending to discharge it while the company were seated at their repast. In the mean lime, some "wretch" had caught a cat, confined its legs, and placed it in tho gun. JWhwi the part had got comfortably seated, the gun wat fired off the cat struck Mrs. fjleson "the wife of

the chief magistrate of tl5 village," just below the

shoulders, and passed through her body t killing her

instantly she was, says the account, "a highly

accomplished and interesting lady; and the mother ofl children, the eldest being but six years old!!" Pussy did'nt stop here but passing over the whole length of the table, had her head driven through an inch board, nnd her progress arrested. Strange to say, although somewhat stunned, she soon recovered and was declared to be as well as usual ! Boston Statesman.

The Eleventh' Commandment We hate often heard this commandment spoken of and

- repeated, "Let every man mind his own business,

but never, until lately, did we hear -of a different one, and which for its goodness we transfer to our columns, together with the circumstances which

gave rise to if.

In a debate in tho Virginia

Legislature, a member remarked that Mr. Madison's

resolutions of 1796 ought to be received as the political Bible of this country, which occasioned the following reply : "The gentleman hoped that the country had not yet arrived at such a state of moral turpitude and degradation as to recognizo

any other standard of morals than that to be found in the scriptures of the Old and New Testaments

and epitomized in the decalogue; but if permitted,

without presumption or profanity, ho would say

'.hat, taking our political relations into view, there

ought to be an eleventh commandment in these words:

"Thou shaltnot, nor shall they wife, thy son or

thy daughter, thy man servant or thy maid servant,

the stranger or sojourner within thy gates, dare in any wise to mention or hint at a dissolution of the

'Choosing a wife is like dipping the hand into a

hag containing ninety-nine snakes and one eel. Ninety-nine to one you catch the eel.' The above is going the rounds of the papers, without comment. It is an abominable slander and an outrage on the fairest of God's creation the better sex. It must have been written by some sour old bachelor or rascally husband whose wife had for good and sufficient reasons, left his bed and board: (that is if he had any) and caused him to declare war against the whole sex. If the picture

was reversed, it would still bo a slander; where

Chops in Oiiro. The Cincinnati Gazotte of

Saturday says: "An excursion some forty miles

North, on the Great Miami, has nfforded me an opportunity to note the effect of the recent frosts upon vegetation. In many places the corn and buck-wheat, are quite injuriously touched, and all other herbage subject to frost? prostrated. Having met with gentlemen from other parts of the State, north to Piqua, cast to Lancaster, tho information received from them warrants tho conclusion, that the injury has been greater farther north and farther east, than in this vicinity. The tobacco cultivators have, it is believed, suffered severely."
