It is edited and published by Julius BoTTiscnEn, Esq., who is a fine writer, a true democrat, and a practical printer. We have no hesitation in saying to our Democratic friends, especially the Germans, that the paper is permanently established, and will prove itself well worthy of their support which bhould be given liberally. We hope our democratic cotemjxjrnrics will lend it a hand, especially by circulating their exchange among their German neighbors. To its worthy editor wc extend our hand, and with him all the success which we know he will deserve by perseverance and industry. W. J.

Sir, I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 4lh int., informing me that t!i 44 State Free Soil Convention," issemhied at Indianapolis on the 30th ult., placed my name on their electoral ticket, an the candidate in the lOtii Congressional District. In answer to your communication, permit me to bay, there enn be no doubt gentlemen have been deceived into this use of my name through misrepresentations, as I have never expressed on any occaion other thsn a willingness to support the nominees of the lJultimore Convention. You will do me the favor to communicate those facts to your political friends of the 44 Fr-e Soil Tarty," nnd ask the withdrawal of my name from their elect oral ticket. I have also received, per mail, from Indianapolis, a copy of the 44 Free Soil Banner," of the 1st inst., in which 1 find my name is announced. Please hand this to the editors for publication, and oblige yours, respectfully, LEWIS BEECHEK. Calvin Fletciif.r, Esq., Chairman Free Soil State Central Committee. UcimtuI Cass. Wc copy from the Xtw York Atlas, a neutral paper, the following notice of Gen. Cass: Gen. Lewis Cass is a prominent candidate for the Presidency. He was put iu nomination as such, by a convention held in the city of Baltimore, aud has consented to run for that ollice. It is not known, wo believe, that he adopted any disreputable or unmanly act to obtuiu the nomination. As soon as it was awarded, he retired from the Senate, returned to the bosom of his family, in Detroit, and there he waits the decision of his countrymen, lie has not invaded the rights of any one, or the rights of any party; but has simply consented to become the President of the United States if the people fchall think fit to elect him. Prior to his acceptance of the nomination with the exception of the abusj that was heaped upon him localise of tho position he assumed iu reference- to the Oregon question, and the Mexican war he was not cssailcd cr abused by any one. On the contrary, he was a favorite with almost all parties; ko highly esteemed was he, when he was in the Cabinet of Gen. Jackson, that he was regarded by tho then opposition a- a rniriater who actually relieved the Administration from a portion of their hatred. He was eulogised by the opposition of those times; and by tho N. Y. Courier nnd Enquirer and several ether influential papers, was deemed the best man the opposition could f elect as its candidate for the Presidency. Gen. Cass has already passed through the vista of tbree score years aud upwards; and never, during that long period, with but a single exception, has his good name been assailed. In the year soon alter the defalcation of Swartwout, and others, it was charged that be was a defaulter to the amount of tight hundred thousand dollars. He was in France at the time, and of course he had no means of defending himself. And, ere he could have made a defence from the other side of the ocean, the infamous btory of hia defalcation had refuted itself and left its calumnious authors to blush for their own falsehood and infamy. A purer, a belter, a nobler-minded n.an than Gen. Lewis Cass, we do not believe ever lived. You may take his private history, from i.ifancy to man-hood and from manhood to old age, and you shall nut find in it a spot worthy of reproach. Ah for his fitness for the Presidency, no mortal man we far.cy, doubts it. Hii talents, all tho world will admit, ore of the highest order; his experience has been vast; his patriotism is undoubted. As a tnan, he is frank, generous, hold, ami open-handed; ns a Statesman, he may bo ranked with the ableft of the ogc. Voting Simon;; the Farmers. At a barn raising on the farm of Mr. Samson, in Franklin township, in this county, a vote was taken among the hardy sons of toil who were present, and the result was as follows: For Cass, Taylor, t Van Buren, ! Pittsburgh Ft sf. OCrTiie Prince de Joinville, who has his father's segacity in money rattlers, without his over-grasping avarice, ie investing his means in United States stock.

, , u i a i . . Pitif tin fit hnri Ins ruivilum in nnmiMiinio inn , i, which uc jrive tvdo.v. We think it due to him to give his letter entire, tlnugh just at this time we can ill nliord the spice. The view he takes of the case deserve the careful attention of every democrat and tree soil man in this State who Iims the least thought of vuing for Mr. Van Puren. The Hter was called forth in answer to a unto Inm the editor of the Lawrenceburgh Register : Ma Neu kstek, Sept. 20, 1643. Dear Sir: Your letter of ye-ti rdny came duly to hand. Before 1 proceed to anwer it 1 must be permitted to say, ever since I returned from Indianapolis I have been engaged with my private affairs, so that it has been but litthi time that 1 could devote to political matters; therefore, you mut pardon me if I appear a little rusty in politics. Indeed I have no taste for entering into a heated Presidential canvass, abusing everybody who should ditlrr with me in political matters. My own experience has taught me that no good grows out of such extreme excitement as we sometimes have in conducting our political campaigns; and on the other hand much hnnn is done to tho morals and social relations of tho country by the abuse, defamation and slang that is poured out when these excitements are carried beyond reason. Men of no moral or political integrity in these overwrought excitements often tloat on the surface, and become our leaders and counsellors, to the detriment of the public weal. You say that you regret to observe that I have been appoiuted contingent elector by tho Barnburner convention of this Stale. I regret it too; because when a respectable body of my fellow citizens, as the Free Soil Conven' in was, does me the honor of appointing me to so honorable a pot even if there be a contingency or two in the way I regret to be forced to do any act that will in the least lessen their respect for me, or that will in any wise have a tendency to injure tho cause in which they nre engarjed; but I must discharge my duty, regardless of these minor considerations. I never told any innn that I should support Mr. Van Buren. It is true that 1 have said when 1 become fully satisfied that Mr. Cass would veto a measure prohibiting slavery in the new territories, I would drop h;:n and vote for Mr. Van Buren; not that I would expect to c fleet anything by thus voting, but simply because I hold that no one man has a just right, and if he be a ijenuiiie republican will not desire, to thwart thp will of th' mnjority, after so much discussion and reflection as has been on this subject. It matters not what the President'.-? private opinion is ubout ihe contitutionwl power, when the question has hern deliberately settled by repeated exeicises of the power. Gen. Taylor ami G. Ciss are but men, and should not bo so vain, when elevated to the Presidency, as to think their opinions about constitutional power should set aside tho opinions if their predecessors, and the settled policy rf the country, and the will of a majority deliberately formed. It is also true that I am opposed to the further extension of slavery. This I tal;c to he Jeflersoni.m democracy. Such opinions, I suppose, freely given on all occasions, led to the appointment. Although not pleas d with a considerable portion of Ciss's Nicholson letter, yet I am not satisfied that he would feel bound to veto a free soil measure. And 1 must say that I do not endorse all the Baltimore platform. Taking into cons.dcratiun the uncertainty of Mr. Cass's course on the slavery subject, mid the obnoxious part of the Biltirn ire platforin, I should be constrained to vote for Mr. Van Büren, if my vote would elect him. But how stands tSc en so .' Mr. Vcn Boren really has no chance for an election. All admit that he has n ?t the in.l remote pro-poet of an election bv tho peoji'o, find it M:en, to mr? if the elecj tion goes to the IIoiwj it is almost as cert iin that he i cann.jt bo elected. Toe whole south will i i n tho free States where Mr. Cass's friends have tho majority in Cmgress, b.fore they will puller -Mr. Van Bnren to bu elected. I hen the matter resolves it.-elf into this: Mr. Cas or Mr. Taylor will he elected Presi- ' dent of these United States in IIS. If it be contended that Mr. Van Buren will get a foA' States", and the election will go to the house, and that his pros - pects there are good for nn ehx'thm, his most sanguine lnends niU't admii that he stands oo chance of earrvJ ing tins State. The question then in Indiana, at least, as admitted bv 11, is uarro.ved down to a choice be'tween Cass ami Taylor if we would not throw ou; i votes away. Lverv tree soil man, without prejudice, i V,,,. J will admit that the free soil measure is as -afe in Mr. j Cass's hands, a northern man with all his preddcejtious against slavery, as iu Taylor's, a southern slaveholder, with all thue prejudices, southern men have against the north, and in favor of slavery. Let ItlSt the north, ami in tavor ot Si lvery. Jet e, for the sake of argument that there is no ? of opinion on the subject of slavery, be - us suppose, dihercnec Uveen Cass and Taylor, ami it is conceded by all that Jone or the other will receive the eiector.il vote of Indi ana. Then in it not worthy of consideration by free soil democrats if this State, what their duly to their country Is under these circumstances, when wc hear Mr. Webster, Corwin, and other distinguislicü whigs, declaring that the protective policy is not abandoned that the whigs only await their coming into power to establish the protective system, and a 6yteui of internal improvements, which, with all my charity for the whigs, and belief that they intend no Rich thing, I think it would end in bankrupting the United States. There would be no etopping place each member of Congress would have hundreds of thousands squandered in his district. These ore weighty matters I which wc all ought to think on before we give a half jvotc for Gen. Taylor, by voting for Mr. Van Buren i without the least prospect of carrying the State for ! him. Add to this Gen. Taylor's obstinacy in refusing i ..... . . . fi lo do justice to our brave volunteers, when requested t d so by the Legislature, in language almost too mild and conciliatory to be creditable to that body, ami we Hoosier democrats have pretty strong reasons for making our votes tell against him. V have no desire to detract one jot from the well earned fame if Gen. Taylor, and l am free to admit that he was misled by the reports of under otlicers; but after it j has been proven that great injustice was done our volunteers iy ins report, he ought to lay aside that obstinacy, end cheerfully and magnanimously correct it. As ho will not d this, and if in other respects he was equal to his opponent, this alone should mako us Kinder well before we throw cur votes avvav. Slate pride is interested in the defeat of (Jen. Taylor in this State; for it would bo humiliating indeed for the State to cast her vote for a man who refuses to do justice to her volunteers, although asked to do so in language approaching too near to supplication, by the Legislature tf the State. This letter is already tr o long, hut as I am writing. I will answer interrogatories that have been frequently propounded to me by letter and otherwise, to-wit- ! whether I intend to support Senater llanner-an for a; second term. I answer no; unless instructed to do so by a majority of tho voters of this county, fairly gotten up. Personally, I have a w arm regard fer Mr. Ilannegan. But his course on the slavery question doc., not pgrco with my idea of right, or demcratic principles. I thrill vote fir a democrat who is a firm opposer of the extension of slavery, if left to make the choice ice myself; but if instructed bv a majority if!

my constituency, I will vote for their choice. Tho a3 s p"sn.ie, or cnonoro win laim, ami democrats of this county had better looi; into this!A,,b'jt Lawrence will burst his unmeniionbies, nd mntter tborounhlv before thev F.inctinn the etcnion Webster will loose his appetite for a chowder. Go it

of slavery by instructing their delegation in the legislature to go for Mr. Ilannegan, thereby approving his course on ibis ipiostion, ami virtually telling nim to purine the satnu court:.; hereafter. Let the democrats "ii br ice tlio side of slavery extrusion, ami t!iey fasten to themselves an incubus tint will crush thrni to the earth. Democracy and slaveiy are not synonymous terms, nnd it will not do for a party to hnast of its democracy, and advocate the extension cf slavery. Yotir friend, truly, JAS." B. MILLIXEN. Jo:in B.

From the Texas Union. WicZt' introduclioii lo 31r. I'aync.

We publish to-day a curious letter from W. W. Wick, M. C. from Indiana, addressed to C. Payne, Esq., of this place, under the following circumstances: Mr. Payne, after reading Mr. W's speech on a question of privilege, was so much pleased by the entire good sense, the quaint humor and unrivalled wit which he displayed, that in a letter to a mutual acquaintance, Hon. D. S. Kauffman, he expressed a desire "to know all about him," (Wick.) This letter was placed in Mr. W.'s hands by Mr. K., and called forth the following unique reply. It is proper for us to say that the writer did not intend it for publication : June 12, 1643. William W. Wick is a full blooded yankee, though born in Cannonsburgh, Washington county, Pennsylvania, Feb. 23d, 1796. In 1800, W.'s father, a Pres byterian Preacher, settled in the woods, in tho poorestst j township in tho Western Reserve of Ohio, adjoining j the Pennsylvania state line. Here W. lived, going to school, toiling at ordinary labor, and indulging in day dreams till the time of his father's death in 1814. He then renounced all interest in his father's estate, (which was only some $3000,) and took himself off. 'Till spring 1816, he essayed " to teach the young idea how to shoot," in Washington county, Pennsylvania, when he descended the Monongahela and Ohio in a "broad horn" to Cincinnati. He taught school and studied, first medicine, and then law, 'till December, 1849; read chemistry principally by the light of log heaps in a clearing, and law of nights and Sundays, (wrong so far as Sunday is concerned.) December, 1819, settled in Connersville, Indiana, as a lawyer, and made and sent his mother a deed for his interest in his father's real and personal estate. December, 1820, was chosen Clerk of the House of Representatives of Indiau-i, and served 'till January, 1"?J2, when he was chosen Judge of a new circuit, just formed, nnd removed to Indianapolis, where he has ever since resided. In three years he resigned the Judgeship, because it wns starving hiai, and was chosen Secretary of State served four years then chosen circuit prosecuting Attorney then Judge again. Ho has also figured ns Quarternvister General, and is now a Brigadier. He has committed much folly in holding ollices, and only escapes the condemnation of his own judgment iu consideration of the fact that he was never green enough to accept a seat in the State Legislature. In 1SJ3 W. changed his politics his party did not leave him he left it. In thi he d.tTers from mo-t groat men. In 1H39 ho was chosen an M. C. us a Democrat, and as successor to Col. Kinuard, who died from the blowing up of n steamboat when on h.s way to Washington. Col. K. had been in Congress for some years. In IS PI and 117 W. was nominated and elected to C ingress, lie wa a candidate fir Congress in 1 '.51. and got b:at. Bight. He was once a Clay candidate for elector, and got beat. Bight. In IS 14 was a Democratic candidate for elector successful. RightIn the intervoli of the above engagements, ho practiced law, never made much at that; did not know how to scare and skin a client. In H21 he married a wife who died in 1S32. He has a son and daughter married, and five grand children living. His youngest boy (a third child nnd all) went last year4' to seo the Elephant" as a private in tho Illinois Volunteer Regiment then he was near 17 years of age. He went without leave, but (good boy) he wrote for and got leave after he was gone. He has acquired Spanish enough to write a good Spanish letter, nnd unassisted by W.'s name. Ins worke! Ins way. lie is now clerk to the Depot Quartermaster at the city of Mexico. Says the climate in Mexico is better than in hid. una, and that the boys killed themselves drinking snirits, eating Mexican froi:s, and " c vortii.g." Wick has commiikd much folly iu his time the principal of which have been holding tlic.es, writing rhvtr. s, phwMig it rds for inonry , and paying other pe"r,p',,:'s h'!T ail which ho abandoned about the timo ho b.vnnie a Democrat. At this prejt nl writing W. is f' yeaisof age, fair, a l.ulc fat, havii.g increas-d since lSlo from 140 to 211 lbs. six feet .and m.o nice high, g.d complexion, por'.lv has teen caded the h"-t loosing man about ioAU but that w is ti n trs ago not to be j i Miee. d at now a little grey ins lud chills nd j fever, bilious attacks, and dyspepaa enough to kill a j dozen common men, and has paved through m;sfur-j tunen t-ufiiclelit tj iiUül.Ie u. .-core oS oiuinurv s:cci-i mens of human nalint.

Thcso words sank down into our souls. We marked tho men, and the party to which they belonged. Look nt the great wot now, tho galaxy of the Union, and every star democratic. But to the charge that 44 Gov. Cass has injured the early settlers of the west." Why, sir, there are men in Otis town whose farms were purchased from Government with mney borrowed from Gov. Cass, icilhmit interest, upon the mere security if an emigrant's word, who had not a cent in his pocket, and was rich only iu the affections of his wife ami some half dozen children. And when by tickness or other misfortune we were hard up when the funds were gone from the purse ami the xrk was gone from the barrel we h id only to statt; the cum to the Governor, und our wants were supplied from his private stores. Many an emigrant' wng'.n has been supplied free of cost w ith the substantial of life at the residence of the Governor, while his ewellent lady alaays to k care that tho coffee-sack, ami medicine-chest for the ague, were full to the brim. These things wr re not more valuable lo us than the fitct that, while we were pushing into the w ildemess 10 to 50 miles from any cnbin, we knew that under any misfortune we had a friend in the Governor to fall hack upon. If the friend of Gov. Cass choose to oppeal to the young men of the nation, the west is full of facts upon which to base s'.c!i nn appeal. Men ate now enjoying a competence tmder their own vino and fig-tree, who camo to the territory friendless boys, Without fame or fortune, save a will to do and a hand to d it, who were put into business by the Governor, and backed all the way through until they were utile to sustain themselves.
