WALTER ARMSTRONG.

In another page of our paper to-day wfll I band a communicati, from Wulhr Arm-

ffV. the defunct candidate for Senator in ! W"v tiavo Pru" " M . , this county, which we publish at his request. ! P "8 tbrmer c cci.uns when he We suppose it is intended for the "expieoa- ':ycd With the confidence ol the beotton" which he promised the people of Dear-1 P' ' MM- Ih.s was when he was porn, through the Palladium of the 9th hut 'wrtcd party grbunda. He Ban itc baa u...i.o,if....i..:;.i.mnnnpri,,iilii, li never been bcateu when the question was

he was so shamefully beatenat the kite election, he has dealt out to ui a large portion nf thatvikanhinrnv. hiilmriinfa. ant slan,r. r. . ... . of thatvileeoluinnv, biilingszata andslan with which, it is well known, he has been surcharged from the day of his birth up to the present lime. We are well aware that we can add noth-1 ingtoour reputation in a personal conflict' w ith such a mau as Armstrong an mdivid ual who can lav no claim to either moral or o iKilitieal integrity,

and who has made!18 Known oe ucstiuunoiau cirau u u ti

it his business to Indhi his way through life; hut still we shall not shrink from our ile - ty we will meet him and expose him further. In the commencement of his article he says we have made a furious, unprovoked, pitiful, and cowardly attack upon him. No Ulan but onn tt iltiprirxr nnd invirmilinr under the agonies of a most shameful defeat, would make such n charge as this. We made no attack upon him, and we indignantly throw back the charge in his teeth. We saw a paragraph in the Palladium, saving in substancv that Armstrong would explain '.he Kidered anv nttpmnt t n,..ti, r.f,r ! manner in w Inch he was defeated. We con te manner in which Armstrow had elec-' .. . . . . 1 ' i tioneered through the county,) as insulting to the People, and we exposed it. Anns'., ong sart oar renmrks, and his guilty ooncience rebuked him for his meanness, and he gave vent to his feelings in an abusive and malig nant attack upon us. without alternating to explain why and wheref'ire he was beat- j lie says the election was not conducted fairly, and charges us with barely stating what wc knew to be false. We iia' e asserted before, and we repeat it now, that the election was conducted fairly and honorably on our part, and we most positively deny having made a single false statement. We can triumphantly appeal to the people of Dearborn to sustain our assertion. It w;s I -t n l. .... . I our uutyas tne luiiorot a puolic journal, to j

expose tne disgracelul talshoods and talcs cu lo get up a party excitement, and ot saywhieh Armstrong circulated, in order to se- '"g in a letter to a political friend, "Oh do

cure his election, and because we fearlessl and independetly published (he whole truth. he has charged ns w ith statin" what we knew I to be false. Yes, wc published the truth in i relation to Armstrong, and if, in SO doing, we aided m lus deleat. all that wehavetosav is, that we still glory m it. We, too, are pleased to believe that the people "are made ot more sterling, slufi open to convictions of truth and reason, and ever j ready to do justice" unto such moan and contemptible men as Walter Armstrong. He would now no doubt like to Hatter the poo- j pie, and drew forth their sympathy but it is oseless. for in this country he is down, down, like Lucifer, never mor to rise." In relation to our assertion that Mr. Plum-! I pi' ii . . i , , , I i .1 . i ...w ..uoj-iugiu lu5u iih too removal o! the County Seat, we have to av that von slomrroylyc Bl,llieieiit nutUoritv f,r mn--OSfrtW'Mfcnicnt. He wants as lo sal i; ty the public on this subject The public arc already satisfied, doubly satisfied; and we , a . . a :r.AA i .., 'jelr l I llilr( Ml" III 1 1 ( ,1111 WML w li. ii Lii. i. mail who voted for Mr. Plummer, that now re ."rets having done so; and lor every one so " .:ii .tin., t, .mA cr pOUlieU Ulll, lit Kill iinuii.li mm ii. Walter Armstrong, lir.it now despise hiin and will never role; for htm again. His hyj oeritical actions on the day of the election have sealed his fate forever in this county. We know nothing of any statements Mr. Plummer may have made in the upper pari tithe county; it is the first we have heard on the supje'et, and if false, we hi ve no poudt 'Mr. Plummer will deny it promptly. For 'our own part, we believe Armstrong bus i'-. -ricatedthis story himself. He ought, however, to know that if he circulated falsehoods I himself, it docs not follow as a matter of : course that every other candidate done the same. He says the late scnalorial election was conducted on different principles from t o; other that proceeded it; but had he been elected then it would have been all ri'dit. His ex-; i i .. .. t pericnceandh.s,pi,td.i.ca.,ons,hesayi.y.e,e thrown aside, and the question narov.cdili.wn to residence in a particular spot, and politic-. ica! belief. And does this, we ask, change 1 the nature of the late election from all for-! mej ones? Wc think not. Armstrong knows very well, and every citizen of the county knows, that he never was elected to office on his own merits in his life. He, like many another man without ta Hants, charac ter, or claims, lias roue into oliice m tunes ol : uuju pomii-i exc.ujmc i., wuen ll.e ques-1 lion was, "Docs he belong to our party? But that parly which has heretofore sustain-1 nd esaneted him, are now done with htm! . r.-.l o nas iiirneu iranor, unci mey are pleas- j oti I j find that they are at lenjrth rid of a very troublesome lianger on. We are ready to confess tliat we made a misstatement in relation to Mr. Piiimmer's majority in Lawrentioharab township inrtcadof 146 votes, it is but4(i. Wc made ! the error jo subtracting, as may easil be seen I yet Armstrong seizes upon it as a proof that we published laltehoods prior to the election. He thinks that he was net tlic favori'eof the Lnwrenceburghers; and in fact, if we judge by the votes given, he was notmuchofalavorite anyplace in the whole county xiinoii"ii ruts inui 1 j "o. .-,( fiurmn' A,,cw. ... .u.., j in .be canvass was open and honorable."

In the snnic communication 1 chureeil the managers of ll.e Tunes, ol llcly rejircsBiiting Mr. rimaBf r as pledged tn -o for I removal of the Mai of justice, and in tliis way luituced the people in the lower part ol she county to vcte for him; when, at the same time, Mr. P. was assunn; tl e p to in tn appat townships ttiat he bad given M Hlch pledge ; ami that the statements in the Than to that effect, wcte "Jahc anil BB tataoriMtl bj him." This charge I need ttilie, no tfMBlC to prove, hecause I think it is '"' sustained by Mr. Plummer hiiu elf, im lished Btatcmuat, thotigli in very genii tti be sure. Indeed, it was not to be cd, that alter the managers had play his hand so well, he would bluntly te IB their own paper, they lied. He, , does us murh when he denies the Mr. riununor salves the thing over a lii, stalinj he thinks he did not use so ht(' (erm, us ''aif," u stated by me. Ii'1 ence to this matter, 1 can only repeat i, In I in the truth of my former statement, ruborated by two respectable gentlcmei Manchester, fas will be MMI in the cirti. cate apprehended.) who, I believe fully sus tain me. It would therefore appear that the Time had no authority, for the stulement of a pledge on the part of Mr. P. annd herein ask the public to deieraiine, whether they are not guilty of polishing that which had no foundation in truth, with tne view to influence the election. But to show more clearly if need be, that the managers have so acted, I beg you to republish the three paragraphs of their remarks ou Mr. PI timer's letter. The Way they eadeaw to tratrl oat from a lit there, "is na to CroeVett.'-' After beating . ... ii... - i .... r - i--aliout ail the points of the compass, and using argument! ttiat would disgrace the most uupriaeipallcd pettifogger in the country v,rv eoine to (he conclusion that if jjr.

This is the sum aud substllnce rj lhc pUige, as at hut defined, "''"ue mountain labored aud bronght forth a mouse," is certainly a similitude in the case. Before the election the manu-ers of the Times bellowed and blowed about pledges No one, according to their standard, should be run as n candidate, on their ticket, unless he toot a Kllifl (i I. ;i t tl to nnlifise I .:i uti nnnlut i-..

A simple pledge to do the will of tlic majority, was then evasive would not answer, and so plaiufy stated in the 'f'iuies, wtien iprafciot of Mr. Plainer of Mr. Dowdea and others. But mark the change. Jfew, the elec lion is over, itisall sufficient in the view of t! e Times, that Mr. Plumer obeys the will of the majority a pledge, if it can be culhd cue, every one knows, was plainly given in my published address to the voters el the county before the election. The managers of the times alledt-c that 1 w as never elected to oliice, except in bjgh party times. 'Phis they know, is a falsehood of the first water, unclouded by any qualifying circumstance. 1 was a candidate for lb legislature in 1888, and elected, in conjunction with Messrs. Bassett, Pollock, and Guion. Messrs Penper and St. Clair, pnrmiaenl Jackson men, were candidtites at the same time, auddeleated. In the following year, lc0, i was again a candidate for the same station, and re-elected by a r" ft ofull the votes given.

But to ,hw lus tlicr l.ieuiilairuessol the clr.'rsre. 1 wuind nainc that 1 was appointeu county treasurer in 1831, by the then hoard of supervisors, a majority of which us opposed to me in politics; and lane held that office by re-appointment every year since, if 1 was, or am, the bad man, the pariizan, the' unprincipled creature, the Tunes would have the people believe, it is strange , passing strange they would so often favor me wall their votes; or that the board of county commissioners, composed of political opponents should have surrendered to my keeping the public funds of the country. No, ye supple, tools of the times e slanderers of pi n ale character ye t reducers tuononding innocence die poisonous malignancy of your nature, like the haled snake, has bliided vour eyes, else you would see that Walter Armstrong stands on too turn b footing to be effected by vour puny missiles. He has lived too iou in the county is too well aequainted with those around him been too often honored with their suffrages, to be politically prostrated by few udiculerous strollers after fortune, fugitives from character, per chance from justice, whose chins si arce mean' crim to lose ii eloclion, oihervvi.te he must commiserate tho hapiess lot of many of his rcspoeted fellow citizens. The lion, gentleman w ho now ladd.s his seat of senator of this county, by election w as on sundry occasions a candidate and defeated; yet it was nover alledged that he, in consequence, was a rou.me, a liar, or bad man. 1 do not allude to these things, out of any ill feeling, but simply to show what miserable expedients ha e been resorted to hy the managers f ihe Time?, to make up any thing like tolerable argument against me. The managers prate and make a floj about their characters, as if it was a ur of consequence to the public to know t!

They have said nothing to impair her credit in the slightest degree. And is a fact that her credit is impaired? The Editor of the Ad. vertisersays so; but, as usual he is forget ful. He was recently in the city of New York; and in a public letter from that place he stated, that, il he had the Kentucky scrip at his disposal, he could sell it and have the money deposited in some solvent Bank bethat, in three months, he should be aide to sell itat a premium. 1 hose "three months" are nearly at an end.

THE PROSPECT BEFORE US.

Having spent the last three months among j the people in various and distant portions of the State, the Assistant Editor of thia iotirnal claims a brief space to lay before its joure its - t readers, his views of the prospect before us ne protosscs u Know, trom personal ohscrvalion, trom an indiiicrimmate intercourse with an classes, something ot tlic iellim's and views of large portion of the people. Our ufWMumMs were sueu, mat we oceanic equally familiar with the sentiments of the public feeling, and the drift of the upholders ' of Executive usurpation, As the result of these observations, we lay before our readers the cheering conclusions that, the reign ofeorrup on is nearly at an end. Gen. Jackson's nnme is no longer ;i tower of strength. Martin Van Buren is still worse; and the only hope, the last anchor of the crazy, dismasted and rudderieaa ibipeftbje pirate crew of office holders and expectant, is the cry of "Bank! Bank!! Bunk!!!" Tell them' of Jackson usurpations: and they reply by pointing to "the Bank.11 Tell them of the unprecedent ed corruptions, and uaparalielled defalca bona ol the Post oliice department, and they cry out, "the Bank." Siiow them the (lis tress and the pressure ol the country; and j will press home upon these men, who are so furiously waging war against the Bank the corruption and the defalcation of the President, of ihe constitution and laws; the tory doctrines of the protest; the removal of the people's money to such places as gives the usurper the absolute control of its disbursement, and enables him, at the discretion, to pay oil' Major Barry's debts, or fatten with the spoils or the menials of his kitchen. 'flic people will, end they do demand a satisfactory explanation ofthese things; 6o all this cry about "the Bank." will houseless. As to the Slate of Ohio, we have not the least doubt of there being a majority who, if thev net in concert, will forever destroy the hopes of the office holders. Here the question arises A ill they unite? W'c think so. We know that a very large portion of the opposition to the unconstituliontd measures of the administration are willing to sacrifice all minor objects, for the purpose of effecting that reform which is absolutely necessary to preserve our existence as a free government. Those who thus feel, care not what name a man heretofore bourne; but they must know what his sentiments now are upon questions of vital importance. Let .1 I - iWam ncnnriil u nnitivl, rtl Jotermined effort.

Never was there more extraordinary revolution in public sentiment effected.
