The Cincinnati Republican complains bitterly ot tue : want of eouriesv and respect ot Democratic speakers and Democratic editors towards Uen. Scott yet n me , same article this ' all decency" Wbig editor uses the following language towards Gen. Pierce: " And that splendid character ! What a Rum-Angel ! How lovely bis attempt to starve and impoverish the age.l wife of our beloved Harrison: this Pierce, who voted to take away from her an honest salary. How amiable in the sight of Heaven to stive one whole red cent . How noble and generous to the mighty West, to vote against our rivers and harbors and our just rights ' How he can flatter Cincinnati Democrats, and business men, and tell them tbev have no right to commeice or busine Ah, how amiable are his ways when be puts in the bands of the bov a cent, and takes away from the European exile the poor privilege of a vote ! I I Sweet specimen, this Frank!" Our Democratic friends who do not read the Whig papers may hear sec a fair specimen of Whig arguments Thi is the unscrupulous character of tho opposition to Gen. Pierce. It is the same spirit that induced the Whig press and Whig politicians to enter the domestic san tnary of Gen. Jackson aud hunt down the beloved wife of the old hero, until in sorrow they drove her to the grave. This is the fell spirit that now actaates these men. The above extract from a leading Whig journal proves it. Deperntion of Whiggery. The Whig committee in Washington it seems has assigned to Henry D- Moore, a Whig member of Congress from Philadelphia, the guardianship of the German voter of this country. He bs taken charge of the German doenments. He has issued a circular, and sent it to the faithful far and near, to obtain the uames of the German voters. Among the interrogatories propounded is the following: ? '5. What are the principal points ucged by the Germans against our candidates, or Whig principles? CAN YOL MAKE ANY SUGGESTIONS HOW WE MAY MOST EFFECTIVELY ACT UPON THE GERM AN POPULATION in vour county, the State, or in general?" They want to know, by this secret circular, how they are to aot effectively on the German population That information once obtained, and they will then act accordinglv. If the German voters are not cheated and deceived it will not be the fault of this Whig committee. ITPolitical parties act on th defensive. Should General Scott be elected, tho regular army will be the oalv line t precedent lor the luiure in selecting candi. dates for tbe Prcsidencv. Generals Wool T wises and Smith, of the regular army, are all Democrats, and ' from among lhem will the next Democratic candidate ha selected. Thev arc all men far superior to General So.t their letters and eorresnondence will show. Civilians will no more be looked to as candidates, bot i like the semi-military Republics of South America, tbe ! President will be selected from tbe army. This will ! greatly increase the influence and strength of the stand. : ing army. If General Scott is defeated, Whigs as well as Demo, erats in future will look to tbe civil list for candidate! for tbe Chief Magistracy. In this view the result it vastly important. Not to be Caaght. We cbp the following from the Tint Democrat, the organ of tbe Free-soil party in Indiana: John H. Bxadlet. This gentleman is the Whig candidate for Congress in tbe Indianapolis District. Mr. B. ia held up as a recent oonvert to Whiggery from Free.soilism. This is an entire mistake. It is true that he was for Van Buren in 1348, and it is equally trne that he has not acted with the party since. He was in tbe Free-sod Convention, held at Indianapolis in j January, 1349. and endeavored to transfer tbe party to j the Whigs. Failing iu this, he has nothing to do with J the party. Mr. Bradley is put in nomination prooaoiy wun a view to secure Free-soil votes, not so much for himself as for Scott, but we very much mistake the true Democracy of that district if they will be cacght in any such trap. We do not believe they will vote either for John H Bradley or Gen. Winfield Scott. Why should Democrats vote for Gen. Scott. The Whigs confidently expect to elect Gen. Scott by tbe aid of Democratic votes. What have Democrats to gain by electing Gen. Scott? Is there one Whi, 3 9 1 doctrine that he is not in lav r of? Is there one Democratic principle that he is not opposed to? He stands pledged to the Whig platform in all its parts. He stands pledged in favor of a Bankrupt law similar to the one f 1841 in favor of a national Bank, land distribution, and high protective Tariff. He is pledged to appoint no Democrats to office. Why then should Democrats vole for him? Thev will not do it unless : they have made up their minds to turn Whig and act ' with the Wbig pariy in futuie. , : CTTbe Sentinel denounces the pavment of one year's salary to the widow of Gen. Harrison, but it has noth- , ing to say of the donation of $60,000 made by tbe last Locofoco Congress to "Graaay Ritchie." recently of 'he Lnion! Indiana Journal.

The Dayton Empire'says: "The Democratic Rally at Springfield on Monday, was one of the grandest and most enthusiastic demonstratims of the season. The people were there by thousands, notwithstanding the very unpleasant state of the weather. An immense prooession was formed, esoorled by several bands of music, and bearing a great varietv of beautiful banners with appropiiate and significant inscriptions. There was in the line an immense wagon, containing between 30 and 40 people, carrying a splendid young hickory, 70 feet high, with the American Flag floating gracefully from its top, on which were inscribed the names of Pierce and King. Tbe vast assemblage was addressed by Senators Douglas and Weller, in a most eloquent and and acceptable manner, The "1840 enthusiasm" in Clark county is on the other side this lime, and the Democracy there are preparing to render a good account of themselves in the pending contest."

TUESDAY MORNING, SEPT. Sis, 1869. Gen. Scott. We would ask every candid aud just man in oar country if Gen. Scott were not a candidate for the Presidency, and. stood cow in relation to them alone in l lie light of commander-in-chief of the army, as a patriot, as a citi z n disconnected with politics, as a general wtio has led our army through many battles to victory, who has rendered many important civil services to the country if they wer called upon rtnder these relations to express an opinion of him, would it not be highly laudatory; would it not be kind and generous; would it n.t be with a desire to do justice to his character; would ii not he with thanks for what he has done; eouhl !ie not be called great, brave, patriotic, humane, just, and laithful to every trust, and entitled to hi- counliV gratitude? When be stood in this relation to hi country, such was the opinion of Madison and Monroe, Clay and Cass, Adams, and Wehster, and unnumbered multimdes, without distiactiou of party. Then he bad n enemies. He was judged upon his nerili. and justice held the scales. Republic He was then at the head of tb army ttie conquering General, and accomplished soldier His position is now changed. He is the regularly nominuied Whi candidate. We look at him now, not as General Scott the bead of the standiuj army; but as Wmfield Scott, a candida'e ior the highest elective olfice in the world an office which requires exalted civil qualifications. As such every thing which throws light on his administrative abilities, as a civilian, becomes a question of great importance. Every political opinion expressed by him in bis extensive correspondence, is a legitimate subject of investigation. His friends point with pride to his military career as evidence that be is a great cauiain. They should not complain when Democrats point to hu civil record a record made by himself to prove that he is no statesman, or that his principles are at war with the best interests of the country. These are all fair and legitimate subjects of political investigation. The people ought to know what arc the views and opinions of these candidate j. Suppose General Pierce had not been nom

inated for the Presidency, he would now be in the enjoyment'of bislargaand lucrative practice as a lawyer, respected alike by Whig and Democrat, as a great man of high character for talents and integrity. Not one word would have been uttered in disparagement ol his military reputation. The Catholic test would have been unheard of, and the New Boston speech would have slept with the things that are past. His speeches and votes in Congress would never have been referred to. Now these things constitute important items in the poitical canvass. Of this we do not conplain. It is all right and proper. We open wide the book which con tains the political record of Franklin Pierce, and invite the strictest scrutiny. Madison and .oi.roe. Clay and Cass, Adams and Webster never uttered one word in favor of Gen. Scott as a statesman. Their commendations were confined to his military history, which constitutes no item in tho present contest. His military character, as a commander, has not been called in question.It is his civil qualifications as a. candidate for the Presidency, and his political principles which constitute ths test in the present contest. Whan weighed in that balance, with Justice holding the scales, his military life will be thrown out. Divested of that, and he will be found sadly wratingin weight. 0"This L Democratic reasoning. W. J. Brown, editor of the State Sentinel, urges the election of Democratic Judges upon the ground that the new Constitution and laws all being new, aud the work of Democratic hands, Judges should therefore be eleoted who will coni st rue them uccording to Democratic views and Demo j croftc policy. This is what the leaders mean when ibey talk about progressive Democracy .' White River Standard. Exactly so; and the Whigs want to elect Whig Judges, who will render void tho provision in the Constitution giving foreign born citizens the right ta vote before final naturalization, who. will give Wbig constructions to tbe vested rights of corporations and monopolies, and will reader nugatory the new code of practice by which all the technical distinctions between actions and all the torn-fooleries of speciul pleadings are abolished. The Whigs declare the old Constitution better than the new one all their candidates for Judges were opposed to it. We want to commit the moulding of the new system now going into operation to its friends, not its enemies. Hence, as this Whig editor charges, wo aro in favor of electing Democratic Judges. 37 Greeley is losing all hope of getting the Irish vote. He now says: "Nearly all the numerous journals hitherto subsistintr on the patronage and enjoying the confidence of IRISHMAN, are SUBSIDIZED by the Pierce tcireworkers, and made to ccess and bless at their lidding." Here is a plain charge, that such papers as the New York Freeman's Journal, the American Celt, the Boston Pilot, the Western Tablet all Catholic papers, and each the organ of the Bishop of its district, has been "SUBSIDIZED," BRIBED, and BOUGHT UP by politicians. Will not the entire Catholic population repel this l gross slander of the Scott men upon their organs and ; teachers? E7"The Whig press of Boston complain that Frank, lin Pierce refnsed to attend the great dinner, given ii. Boston to Mr Baring, a member of the British Parliament . Suppose he had attended, what would the Whig press have said? Greeley would have raised the howl of British influence which would have been echoed back by every penny whistle Whig organ in the country. The trap was set. .and Mr. Pierce was ardently solicited to attend the great dinner given to this British banker and nobleman. Pierce neither went nor wrote a letter. They now complain of it as a great act of discourtesy. DWhy has Mr. Grose been circulating Abolition $reeches throughout this District? Is it done for the j purpose of showing bis lpve for Abolition principles? i Will the Democrats who proles.-, to proless to have cherished prin ciples, run a man for Congiess who will take it upon himsell to circulate sucn trasnt uonncrsniie j imes. To keep even with Sam. Parker, we presume. Sammy franked 3,500 Abolition documents, published at the National Era office, into his District, for the purpose of wooing back bis old Abolition friends. Grose can't come up to this. ILTThe Journal wishes to know how Gov. Wright knew anything about the certificates from Parke county, before they were pnblihcd. We can-tell the editor how he knew all about it. He was in Parke county when he wrote us on the 20th had heard all about the movements of his old enemies. This is the same clique that hunted tho beloved Howard to his grave. They hate Wright because he was the friend of Howard, and they will stop at nothing to defeat him. EThe Jonrnal says it has never made any charge against Gov. Wright that it has not proved. Yon can charge him with being a drunkard, a blackleg, a thief, a robber, and a murderer, and just send to George K. Steele, of Parke county, and the proof will be forthcoming. You will have no difficulty select your charge and you can prove it. iLTThe Kentucky Flag, at Covington, Ky., heretofore conduoted with so rauoh spirit and ability by S.

A Good Whiff Reason. I

Wc clip the following from tho New York Commer. j cial Advertiser. It is an appeal addressed to the re- j eusant Whigs of that city and State: "Geo. Scott is the fairly, regularly nominated candidate of the Whig party, and as such he is entitled to, and will receive the support ol all who are governed by i . . i . nan P - atosii m t , , f im aknatixf anrV i if Whiir princinles. His political opinions do not date! si fs - a as rrom a recent period; be has been a Whig from the start,' and has cleaved to the party in prosperity and adversity; in good faith, therefore, we are bound to advocate his election We could not conscientiously do otherwise." Here is a good reason why every Whig, who has at heart the success of Whig principles, should vote for Qen. Scott. But what will Democrats say to this. This is not the way Whins talk when they want to honey them oat of ibeir votes. They say not one word about the success of Whig principles Oh.no! Then they depricate party spirit. LTTo enable us to cast the vote lor Gen. Scott, ho will receive the support of thousands of independent Democrats who cannot be transferred at the will of party leaders, and compelled to vote for a raau of whom they never heard until his nomination for the Presidency. This assertion is not founded on our hopes alone, but from absolute facts from reliable sources. Indiana Journal. Democrats! do you hear that! If this is not cool impudence where is it to be found? These independent Democrats aro tobe transferred, at the will of few Whig leaders, from their party and their principles, to the Whig party and made to vote for the Whig candidate. They must believe thai the Democrats are very pliant j tools Testimony Impeuched. The Washington Republic says that of the thirty-six Catholics who signed the , ertificate from Concord, New Hampshire, in favor of Gen. Pierce, twenty-nine of them are Irishmen, employed on the Concord Railroad; and then calls on the Union to furnish better evidence. This is Whiggery on stilts. Twenty-nine of the witnesses are Irish laborers on a Railroad, and therefore their testimony must be impeached. Irishmen are very clever fellows when they will agree to vote the Whig ticket; but they won't do for witnesses unless they certify to please tbe Whigs. A Great Mishap. The Clermont Ohio Sun, says: The Democrats in the region of Mt. Carnfel raised a tine hickory pole. After the insignia of the Democracy had been elevated, and all completed, a pet coc, belonging M some person iu the neighborhood, having attached to its neck a piece of rope wherewith its owner was, we suppose, in the: habit of fastening it at home, mounted the pole, clear to the top, and when there the rope attached to its neck become fastened by some means, and after winding it around tho pole several times the coon :it tempted to descend, and in its efforts to gel loose swung off and was hanged. There it hangs, a warning to the passing Whigs of their impending fate. Hamilton, Ohio, Telegraph. Charles L. Weiler, Esq., has withdrawn frt m this excellent Democratic paper. It will bo conducted in future by his lato partner W. R. Kinduer, Esq. Kor lbe Daily Indiana State Sentinel.. The Ohio State Fair. Cleveland, Sept. 18, 1352. Editor Indiana State Sentinel.- The State Fair, just ended, was decidedly the best ever held in this State, and I may say, in the Union. The number present was probably not far from 75,0000. The receipts were $13,200 being about $6,000 more than those of any Fair hitherto held in tho State. The exhibition of stock was excellent, and shows a very great improvement over that ol former years. Tbe number of horses entered was unusually large. The finest were of the Eclipse or. Morgan breed. The display of sheep was extensive, but not pariivulaily rare. The French Me- : i noes attracted special attention. The poultry department was well tilled with all the varieties of Dorkings, Cochin, Chinas, Shanghaes, otc., and was one of the most interesting features of the occasion. In farm products Ohio did well, but nothing to boast ol. One of the most astounding objects in that line was a cheese weighing 1.500 pounds, manufactured in Aurora, of this State. Tho parade of flowers and horticultural treasures was quite large nnd pretty, but neither v-.ry rare nor various. In mechanical inventions tbe Fair was preemiment. Among tho most interesting I may mention the thrashing machine of Emory 8c Co., Albany, which possesses extraordinary advantages. The iron sub-rail ploughs of Hall fib Speer, of Pittsburgh, which combine the greatest strength, with greatest facility in handling, and the miscellaneous minor agricultural implements sent in by Messrs. Nagley and Motnan of the same city. Their Carolina hoes (heretofore manufactured in England) were highly approved. The reaping and mowing machine of Manny, from Illinois, is worthy of special note. It is enough to say of its merits that it received a silver medal as the "best." The contest among the sewing machines was a brisk one, and excited universal interest. The first premium was taken by Messsrs. Aiken's and Felthausen's patent from Ithaca, New York. Three competitors were on the ground. A cider mill and press, entered by Mr. Gardner, of Ohio city, pleased me much1. It excels in compactness, strength, and economy. 1 he arrangements ot the Fair were very complete and things went off harmoniously. A large police force Kept up a constant surveillance, ana but lew cases ol pocket-picking occurred within tbe enclotnie. The Clevelarulers treated their numerous visitors hospitably, and sent them away in geod humor.

Mr. Editor: A communication appeared in tbe Journal of last Wednesday, in which the writer attempts to criticise, the literary style of Geo. P. Buell, Democratic candidate for Representative. Mr. Sulgrove (whom Mr. Sheets terms the "Comedian"; also, took oceasion. in bis speech on Saturday, to criticise, and by lame attempts at wit, to ridicule a communication of Mr. Buell's, which recently appeared in the "Locomotive."' Indeed he devoted more time to this subject than he did to State or National politics. In looking over a copy of the Locomotive, published soon after the April election of this year, I found the following communication written by T. T., alias Timothy Tugmutton, alias Berry R. Sulgrove, and submit it as a specimen of the peculiar stylo and intellectual ability of Mr. Buell's opponent. It possesses rare literary merit, and should be "kept before the people:" ARGUS. " QUERIES FOR TEMPERANCE LECTURERS. "Would the presence of a 'medium,' justify an officer under the Maine Law, in starching the premises for 'spirits!' "Do you think thai the increase of tbe Dutch vote, and the consequent probable overthrow of the license law, has anything to do with the present prevalence of 'spirits' in this city? "If an officer should Iracture a Dutchman's skull, in a row, would he be excusablo under the Maine Law, on tbe ground that be was knocking in the 'head' of a beer barrel?

The Old Issues Whenever a Wbig attempts to prove that there are no longer any issues between tbe two parties, remember that he is paying the highest compliment to Demooratie measures and men, and at the same time unconsciously rebuking the policy of his own party. To say that there are no issues between lbe parties is to admit the utter and irremediable over throw of the expedients of the Whig party. Union. Olz Bull.

If vou fail to do it, it will be your fault. Wm. Sheet, Esq. This gentleman, who is the Whig candidate for lbe State Senate in Marion county, commenced the canvass with a furious assault on the last Legislature, charging all manner of extravagance on the Democrats. The Sen tinel and its editor seemed to be the peculiar object o his Whig ire. He meditated a glorious and brilliant triumph over bis frank and plain opponent, Percy Hosbrook, Esq.. lho Democratic candidate. The manner in which he would use up and annihilate Percy, was the theme of his constant conversation. The canvass has progressed so far, and Percy is not a used up man so says public opinion. Whilst Sheets was dealing bis blows right and left, he forgot that he himself was living in a glass house, and h.id been one of the most hungry and greedy cormorants that ever hung around tho Treasury. In the mean time some persons prepared and published a list of the enormous sums be had drawn from the Treasury. This at once turned tbe tables, and showed clearly the object Mr. Sheets had in having the whole government carried on by contract. He now cr.es and whines about persecution. But the people say, "served him right." and they will say on the election day, "he has had money enough from the Treasury. 56,000 dollars ought to satisfy a reasonable man. Why is it! The Brookvilie American seems bent on proving that Col. Farqubar, the Whig candidate for Congress, in the Fourth Distr ct is a persecuted man, and that the editor of the Sentinel is ono of his mos: bitter persecutors. A cbaige more utterly destitute of any foundation in truth never was made. A few weeks since among other things the editor charged us with making speeches in the district against him, when in truth we have not set fool in that district since 1344. In tbe last number the editor says: "Is it right thai this combined pack of black-guards, such as Robinson, Petit, Remelin, Mullen, Brown, & Co. should concentrate all their wraih and filth on Col. Farquharl" Now we will pay a handsome reward to any one who will show that we ever ulterred one disrespectful word of Col. Farquhar. Wo have known him for years, and always esteemed him as a highly respectable gentleman. Were we in bis District we should certainly vote again, t him. We are opposed to bis election, but that opposition is to bis politics alone. We hope when Mr. Clarkton again alludes to "pack of black-guard," be will on 'it our name.

Mr. Loder is one of the old wheel horses of Democracy, who has always been fighting for the cause. We should rejoice at his election. Minor Miner is the Whig candidate, and M. K. Hull Free-Soil.

This is a most excellent and popular nomination He will be elected, without doubt, and will make an able and laithful Senator.

At a meetiug cf the German citizens of Indianapolis, held at the Court House, on Saturday, Sept. 25, the fob lowing resolutions were unanimously adopted: Wheeeas, The Whigs of Marion county thought it expedient to bring out ns a candidate lor Representative the German name of Charles Bonge, and as we look upon it as a trap toca'cb German votes: Therefore, be it Resolved, That in the coming election we vote, as we ever have, tbe Democratic ticket entire; that the name of Bonge attached to the Whig ticket has no charm for us. and cannot in the least influence us so as to betray principles for men. Resolved, further, That Ward Committees be appoint ed at our next meeting (Saturday, Oct. 2,) whose duty i: shall be to use all honorable means to bring to tbe polls every German Democratic voter, and thereby increase the Demoeratic majority, and help to achieve a most glorious victory. HR. IMBERY, President. Hr. Acker, Secretary. ILTThe Whig papers liavo lately been parading a letter from Lewis D.

General Scott's Accounts. Among ihe items of the enormous accounts of Geo.

Scott, is $7,885.19. which the Whig accounting officers report that be retains without the authority of law. This is the report of tbe Whig officer t erbat tm Mr. Crittenden, the Whig Attorney General, and law officer of the Government, decides that Gen. Scott is not entitled to retain this sum, yet be still holds on to it; and the Republic, his special organ, publishes tbe fol lowing, which is note made by Gen. Scon in justifica tion of his coarse: With tbe moneys which, on account ol the army. came into my hands in Mexico, viz: special contribution money (in lieu of pillage) levied upon tbe capital of that country, captured tobacco money, a debt due the Mexican government collected Ly my order, a tax on gamblers' licenses, and a small sum saved at tbe hospital of Perote, the Treasury ol lbe United States has nothing to do whatever. Not ono of thoe items fall under the 5Stu article of war, nor under any other provision ol law. those items were collected under the laws of war. and eure to be accounted for according I ii V He, here, like a true military chieftain, bids defiance to the civil laws and tbe decisions of Attorney Generals throws himsell, with a high head, on the laws of war generally. He claim that the Treasury has nothing to do with his collections His gamblers' license money he- may keep in his own pocket. By the way, we do not know, of any law, either civil or moral, which authorized him to license gambling bouses. Suppose Gen. Pierce bad done such a thing? How the moral sesssa of Whiggery would have been shocked Gen. Scott di rected Gen. Smith, the Military and Civil Governor of tbe city of Mexico, to issue gamblers' license at the rate of one thousand dollars a month for one table On this subject, that faithful historian, Major Ripley, says. "The speed with which this tax was paid, as well as the number of licenses granted from time to time, toid plainly to what an extent tbe vice was indulged ia. Officers and soldiers, in great numbers, were attendants at the different hells, which varied in degree as much as the talents and capitals of their keepers "A more effective instrument for tbe destruction of any thing like morality, cither with the old army or with the re-enforcements, could hardly have been immagineo. It had its effects, and did produce something like the state of thijgs so much dreaded by tbe gen-eral-in-cbief. "From this very cause, thus legally permitted and sanctioned, there happened an event some little time subsequently, which in truth did disgrace the army, and, what was infinitely worse, the country which employed it. I allude to an attempt at robbery, committed by an officer of tbe regular at my, three of Pennsylvania voluteers. and an organized band of soldiers and employees of the uu;u icr-m:.ster' department. j Tne event is still so fresh in the memory of tbe army, ana, it is leared, ol others, that no further allusion to it can lie required." On this money. Gen. Scott charged 34 per cent, for -collection. The Altornev General. Mr. Crittenden. says there is no authority for mk-Ii charge. Yet Gen Scott defies all law and refuses o pay it over This is what the Whigs call abasing the Hero of ar hundred battles. For the Daily Indiana Slate Sentiuel. liproN, Ind S-pt. 23 1352. Mr Editor; 1 propo- briefly to notice, m this communication, an attack ra .de by A. P. Cosier, or rather, a certain Whig ally aud penny-a-liner of bis, upon the Democratic candidate tor representative from the counties of Tipton and How.nd, published in ihu Howard Tribune of the 14th inst. First, then, Caller, alias his Wbigfneud, says thai Dr. Parker was caucused out. False here. He was nominated by a county convention, regularly called t -gether, and acting harmoniously, whose proceedings were published in the Slate Sentinel. And hero let me refer to an after part of Mr. Caster's aiticlc, where he says, "the Docter knew before hand there wonid be no other candidate lor representative." Now so lar from this being the truth, to my kn iwfedap, Dr. Paiker expee'ed another nsme to be announced in opposition, up to the very moment of his own nomination; aud lurtber tnan ibis, it i- well known and freely told, that Mr. Caster was laboiing with member ol that same convention to bring his name before it hii secure to Atat us nomination, throughout the morniug of its continuance as well as before; but finding none willing to announce bis name, he sat in the room with the eooveutiou with his "fellow Democrats," as Ik- then styled them awuiting tho result. With regard to the "bargain and sale" hieb Mr Green and his friends use Mr. Casio's uamc and atnan uensis to charge upou the Doctor, it i uticily (stsje. As veracious a Whig as Tip.on holds testifies thai Jesse Brown, shortly iiefore his death, pr u ounce it a lie said there never was such a bargain and who shall charge Jesse Frown with n untruth? Mr. Caslcr says he " will beat the Doctor easily." Let ns examine Mr. C.'s political REt, and see what the past promises for the future. In May, 1844, Mr. C. came on a coon-hunting expedition from Hamilton county into Tipton, be tUen residing in Hamilton, and became a candidate for the office of Recorder in this county, and received 36 votes; was a candidate for Auditor in August of the same year, and again received 36 votes; candidate Cot School Commissioner in 1845, no opposition, and of course Mr. C. was elected, but failing to givc security, he never filled the office ; was a candidate for County Treasurer against John S. Ressler in 1846, when he received 7 votes in the county : in 1547 ran lor the office ol County Prosecuting Attorney, io which, having no opposition, he was elected, served awhile, but seeing what seemed a chance for a fat fee in tbe defence, coming up, he his re signation in the Clerk's office, tried lor the fee, but bis friend Green was ahead of him, and he could not get it, so he turned around, took up Ins resignation, and served his time eut. Up to tbe year 1846 he was a rank Whio ran as a Whig, and was so beaten ; then declared himsell a Democrat; and finding himsell neglected by both parties, he applied to the Abolitionists lor a Senatorial nomination, which tbey refused to give him. He now announces himself as an Independent candidate for Representative ; is down on Whigs, Democrats, Free-Soil-ers, and especially down on conventions, &c., down on every thing, except something to eat and drink. Yours, REPORTER A Card. GEORGE D. PRENTICE, OF LOUISVILLE, KY. In a late number of your paper you say that I have called Gen. Scott a cotoard and a wir, aud thereupon you call me a coward and altar. I never did call Gen. Scott a coward and a liar but 1 have ofieu called you a coward and a liar as you well know, and I now repeat the same charge, by which I mean to use the most opprobrious epithets that can be used towards, or of you. I have said, as you know, that you were disgraced by being rode on a rail, and that veu think it strange that Gen. Pierce did net slick his horse in Mexico, as well as you did your wooden horse, by tbe aid of tar hat hands to hold you on. You cannot change my charges against you to Gen. Scott. Gen. Scott bung seventeen Irishmen in Mexico for desertion, as be said ; and in his letter of tbe 1 1th of March last, he says that not one of alt of them under bis command, either in the war of 1812, 1815, or tbe lato war with Mexico, ever turned his back on "the enemy or a friend." Why did he bang the seventeen ir Mexioo? If you bad done and said this, you mighl with great propriety be called a murderer or a liar. You say that I reject the scriptures. In this you are a liar, and you know it. There is, however, one part of tbem that I think must be a mistake or a mistranslation ; and that is where it is said tbe Devil is the father of lies, unless the Devil is only another name for George D. Prentice. And now I leave you to fester in your own putridity, with a heart rottener than a buzzard's gnts after eating carrion, and from which, if thrown into bell's hottest flames, they would recoil, as virture does from vice, and refuse to burn it.

WHAT WHIG WILL DENY That the very war in which Gen.
