Attorney, and several other distinguished gen tleman ol the democratic party, are beie. We have consulted a)! of our leanerD. and have come to the com luston that we can a the -State in November. You probably have seen the Election Bill pas-ed last weM;. WE ! ’AL< ULATE 'TO MAKE ONE THOUSAND VOTERS OF THE DEMOCRATS TICKET BY THAT, AND MORE IF WE W A NT, AF'J'ER i HE STATE COMMIT ! EE SHALL FIND OUT HOW MANY WE SHALL WANT, which will tie in abiru*. twa weeks. We have now about one hundred of our first men in ihc fu-ld,a d their ex pen es are great. We have come to the conclusion that it would not dole rely upon Hubncriptio <« to sustain them these HARD TIM Ls. but to aite-.:-. a certain turn upon ati thn*e in office, and upon su.-h shareable to pay. We hve a>.k>-:■.nl laricely, but when they see the nece--aty of the case they ought not to find fault, for it i« to sustain democracy against federalism, truth against lies, and light against error and darkness. We muni moke a DESPER ATE EFFORT or all in (root forever. The sum nere--ary to carry the .'nate, with the help of our j new Election Law is not very large, and nui I friends, one and all, must be on the business as signed them. You ;*re one of the Aroslook division. It is expected you will take the field immediately after you receive the funds to wont with, which the | Btate Committee will furnish you with in aixjut six day*. Ihe amount to be csdected is about i 6,500, which has mostly been paid in to the Ntate Committee by the members of the Legi-Ja iure and about filly ol our most lot ward democrats ! that are now here assisting to adopt that who h I will be mot prolitaide. Mr. fourty has gone to Boston after the needful which our folks have agreed to send The Committee hav adopted a new p.an for voting, such an one as w 11 shew ! just how very man votes, an A delect all the trui- S tors to our party. We were greatly deceived by kur.h at the last election. We hear of a goal many that voted for Govern or Fairfield that have said they should vote for Old Granny Harrison ; but they must be seen to or they will induce other democrats to leave us 1 tli such tlioe is hut one course to take and that the committee will inform you of. Every Selectman in democratic towns will receive in structions hoiv to receive vetes, and to reject all of the federalists that there is die least douul about, and admit every democrat that comes to the poll that they can and not lay themselves liable to the laws Cur labors have been very great since we have been here. We have had to work day and night.—Almost every night we met in cau cus. We have been so much engaged that we could not hardly slop so go into the revised stat utes at all, but are now gelling along faster. You will perceive that all the members of the Legis lature's names are not on the Address. lam sor ry to say that two or three ofour members have refused to sign it, and several that did sign were vny loth to. We have tried to persuade those that would not Hgn it to go with us in November, but I arn afraid the ras-ally traitors w ill not. If we do not succeed in choosing \ an Huron elec tois in th.s SStale, it will be because of such ‘ Bene dict Arnolds” as the*e in our own ranks, but we must stop them from leaving us by sane price or other. j sure and burn this letter the mo ment you have read it.

I don’t kpow much al>out his fighting in the la.-d war. mffboyt can tell you all ; about it , they went off with old Gov. Shelby and helped to give the red coats a dressing over in Canada—a.- to the Election you talk about. I vo ted for old Hickory twice; I always liKed him; w hen there was any fighting going on, he was always sure to he in the midst of it—since be went home to Nashville, somehow nothing goes right. There are so many experiments, and n«-w notions getting up, that I cannot expect to see the end of them ; and I think I shah try a shot with Old Tip—be can’t do much mischief, be cause like myself, he is getting rather old you know—and as to my old house, you can talk against it as much as you please, that will not change my liking for it; nut when my boys come in you must not lei them hear you, for if thev do, you’ll walk into next wet k in half a minute.” From the Baltimore Patriot. Virginia. The Vanities of the Old Dominion have a ! a good deal of trouble to make their men stb-k on the Electoral ticket of that .Stale. Tnere have been several declensions from the ticket, as nom inated heretofore; and now, we observe another noted in the Richmond Enquirer. “In conse quence of his illne-s,” Major H. Bedineer, of Berkeley, ami in accordance wbh his own wishes, Mr. Ritchie, the Secretary of the Central Com mittee of the Van Buren party, announces that his name has been stricken from the electoral ticket, and that of James Gibson, of Hampshire, substituted in its ulaee. We are not surprised at these declensions. Desi at is not exactly all that rende's a place on the Locofoco electoral ticket of Yirgini j. undesi rable. It is defeat, when battling against such men as Harrison and Tyler, and in support ot such a personage as Martin Van Durcn. that is especially unpalatable to the sons of the Ancient Dominion. It is not defeat in itself, but defeat in such a contest—under such a leader ! There’s the rub. A Fit I.vstbumext !—The Loco-focos of Crawford Co. Penn, have nominated one Joseph Douglass for Assembly, who has made himself notorious by his abuse of Gen. Harrison as a Commander. The Crawford Statesmen objects to this gentleman’s testimony, on the ground t ;at he deserted from the Army du ingthc Last War! For stating this, the Editor has been sued by Mr. Douglass; whereupon he publishes the certifi cates of three officers and five privates who be longed to the same company with this Mr. Doug lass during the War, who all testify that he deser ted fiorn the camp at Black Rock about one month after he entered the service!—Nearly all tne testifiers against Gen. Harrison are of this stamp.

Oliver P. Fears, Sec ry. " A Graphic Picture. G. W. Ewing, Esq , who lately headed the \ an Buren electoral ticket in Indiana, has pub lish* d a letter, in which he says, ‘■'the Sub-heui ury law strikes a fatal blow at the bed interests of the people destroying at once their energ et, their c< ujfidenct in each other , and consequently all cred’t. It is not in my humble opinion, a Democratic measure , but in reality the very reverse 'The Archimr.DEAV Screw.—The following is an extract from the Lt ndon Correspondence oi the New York Journal of Commerce : The Archimedes steamer, which propelled by a screw, is likely to visit juur good city of Gotham.—The patei tee and proprietor of tne screw propeller is very desirous of having an op portunity of crossing the Atlantic, if he an g-t his vessel chartered for thevovage. This gentle man, Mr. F. P. Smith, in reply to a paragraph that has insinuated that the lr.-t voyage the Archimedes took, to Holland had affected her wo r ks, writes to a morning paper ot the 14th thus: —“ The Arch tmedes i.as run 5,000 miles without the slightest derangement of her ma chinery, or any kind of material repairs and she is perfectly ready to start fur New York to morrow morning, should any person want to engage her for such an excursion.” Mr. Smith has offered to run he 500 miles at sea against any paddle steamer fur £ 1000. The Caledonia, sister steam ship to the Acadia, and the bearer of tr.is commu nication. showed her great powers in reaching Liverpool from Greenock in si teen and a half hours. The Columbia, the fourth and the lust us the Boston, Hautax and Liverpool Line, was launched on the morning of the t alcdonia’s sail ing from Greenock. £ne is described as a beau lilul model.

The calculation of Mr. Van j Buren reminds us of a very economical shipmas- I ter, w ho the sailors said could bring the end of the j voyage and the piovisions nearer together than any other man. — Mississippi—row she will no.—We are truly astunisbeu at some of our Whis friends those at a distance, however—who, in makiri" their calculations, set down Mississippi for Van Buren. or even as doubtful, wnen in fact there is not a State in this whole Union more sure for Harrison—which no honest democrat will deny 1 here. \ es. the Slate will go for Harrison by a majority of from 3000 to 5000 in the popular vote. What right has Mr. Van Buren, we would inquire, to claim the vote of Mississippi? Os all others, she has suffered most by the ruin ous measures of his maladministration—she km ws it, then is it reasonable that she enn give 1 A?u» r SUpP ° rt ?
