From the Louisville Journal.

The Hon. SAMUEL H. JENKs, who was formerly leading Jackson man and who is now distinguished member of the Massa i. chusetts Senate and the Editor of the Nan- tucket Enquirer, believes, that Mr. Van Buren procured the nomination of Col. Johnson upon his ticket, in order, that he himself might the better succeed by way of contrast. The New York magician un- Cloubtedly acted with this view. He knew, that the more scrupulous and squeamish of the administration party would be able to satisfy or at least 10 console ther own consciences and to impress the world with an idea of their candor and honesty in their support ofhm, by rejecting his co-nominee, for immortality of private character and de- stituton of political principle.
 Mr. Jenks justly says, that this attempt to make another's failings a stepping-stone to power IS precisely in keeping with the general character of Mir. Van Buren, whom he denominates "a sly, dissembling, hollow hearted, cold, selfish, hypocritical, double dealing, housing, political knave." Mir. J. considers the Tecumseh killer, with all his failings, better man than Van Buren, and puts the public in possession of the following historical scrap from the ColonePs own mouth:
 "What if Johnson did not kill Tecumseh and he told me with his own lips al Washington five years ago, that the honor, if 1t be one, could not possibly belong to him-at the same time relating circum- stances that completely overthrow the sup position-still he was man of courage an attribute of which Van Buren possesses not a particle. What if he did mol write the Sunday Mail eport--and the Report against Imprisonment for Debt--exploits which he himself would in moment dis claim, if qucstonedi and the merit of which. none who know him intimately. or ever heard hitn speak, would undertake

RESURRECTION IN MISSISSIPPI.
 Horooo, Groove T,,l,, q I225

DEAR SIR--I sit down to give you, in as brief manner as possible, an account of the awful condition of our country. An intended insurrection of the slaves, assisted by many white men, has been disclosed by negro. It was to have commenced oil the 4th of July. and was not disclosed un- til the night of the 2d. I went up to Liv- ingston. On the Sd and 4th the excite ment exceeded any thing l ever saw. l joined company and assisted in taking se- veral white men and negroes. A steam doctor, by the name of Cotton, was com uander-n-chef. We took him and deli vered him at Livingston, on the night of the 3d. We also took Doctor Saunders, formerly of Summer county, Ten, and one other. Saunders was a steamer. A court of twelve men were appointed to examine and pronounce sentence. Cotton and Saun- ders aud the third person, whose name forget, were hung on the 4th, and 9 negroes, at the same time. We have taken IT men, whose names Cotton gave up under the gallows. They are trying them at Living ston. One was hung yesterday, at Dr. Deans, "a steamer.) Cotton stated that there were number of steam doctors con- cerned, but he could not reeollect their names. Col. Perkins, of Madison, and q party of men went down on Big Black, on the night before last, to take man by the name of Sharkey, a rich planter. In try ing to take him in his house, he killed Per- kns, and wounded one other badly, and wounded two horses mortally. Sharkey's hand was shot the moment he fired the first gun, which killed Perkins. He then fired his pistols with his left hand, and re- treated and made his escape.
 l went down at the head of five men on yesterday morning, and found sharkey, and took him and delivered him at Clinton. have been the leader of small party, ne- yer more than men. have taken three prisoners, all of whom are now under trial, at Clinton, before committee. l have no doubt but that all those at Livingston will be hung. have not time to give you the particulars at present. 1t Is certain that this country has been ii q critical sit uation. (Plan.) Cotton was to commence at Battles Bluffs and proceed to Livingston, thence 10 Vernon. thence to Clinton, thence tO VdChSOut tiltiG u lOD tHC bdHh5 thCuCO to Raymond, thence to Port Gibson, thence to Natchez. It was as well planned as It could have been. Ii is believed from Cot ton's confession, that there are some hun- dreds of whites engaged. have not slept two hours in the twenty-four for six days and nights, and have been on horse back more than four-fifths of the time. You may judge that am not in a condition for writing. have to hurry to Clinton this morning, and sent to q neighbor to get a horse, and concluded, while waiting, to write you line. l will give you tho rough account in few days. Five gam blers were hung in Vichsburg on tho 5th inst. They killed Dr. BodIy in the at tempt to take them. The mob took them and hung them all on one gallows in few minutes aster.-Nashrile Bonner.

 To the free Voters of Cramtord County. FELLOW CITIZENS
 You are doubtless all well aware that I have placed my name before you, some time since, as a candidate for the office of Sheriff, at the next December election. l have not been led to take this step without well considering my ability to serve you, and without examining we'll my chances for election. Under our present laws, the of- fee which ask ;st your hands, is au i'm portant and responsible one--and your she riff, whoever he may be, holds the peace aud comfort of many individuals in his hands. It Is well, therefore, considering the mani fold and arduous duties which devolve upon your sheriff, his heavy responsibilities, and the power which he has in his hands fer good or evil--;t is well that he who aspires to your free and unbribed suffrages, should make plain statement to you of his capa- bilities, and of the claims which he can ad vance to your votes. Those who elect an officer, have certainly right to know whom they are electing, and why.
 Permit me, therefore, fellow citizens, briefly 10 say to you, that have now been resident in the county for three or four years. have adopted it as my future home, aud shall probably spend my life among the people whom like and respect. IL is true am poor--but l have my all at stake here-and the richest among you can say no more. No man can have better claims 10 your suffrages than I--for none of you have ever suffered injustice or op- pression al my hands. Misfortunes have fallen heavily upon me--in common with many of you--and am not only poor, but in bad health and unable to make q support for myself. by hand labor. believe that am competent to perform the duties of She-. riff--as much so as any of my opponents, but of that you are the proper judges. l am not acquainted with all of you, but hope to be so before the election. am inform ed that reports have been spread about, in tended doubtless by my enemies, to inlure me-but l trust too much in your good sense and feelings of justice, to believe that you have condemned or prejudged me un- heard.
