TO THE EDITOR OF TIE Eve UiRER.


We are informed, from high authority, that the
smoke produced BY the Harrisburg Convention on
the 4,h ofDecember last is completely blown off from
the State of Pennsy lvanIa but it is the only way to
raise Wing capital (Which is running very lowD when
it is blown away part of the country to
raise it in another The great Clay festival on the oath
of February last, in the city of Richmond has contam
mated the atmosphere Of that place and IFS vicinity but
all that will not do, unless its Presidential influence
be extended into the country at large. To effect
this end it understood to be the duty of the Wing
Electors for President and Vice President and all of
their friends, whose aid they procure, to become
emssaries in this 'holy crusade against the present
Administration.
Two of these "Crusaders made their appearance
Louisa Courthouse the 9th Of this month"; it be-
ing Court day; one of them being an old veteran and
the other, new recruit they were couple of decent,
well-ookng gentlcmen-were very polite, and appa-
rently much attached to the sovereign people of this
old Republican county. They addressed large and
spectabe audience for upwards of three hours much
their and friends satisfaction butthey failed to
raise the desired Smoke Little did they suspect,
when they took their Seats that they would be
ed they were and little did they anticipate the
fusion and dsmay into which they and their friends
were THROWN by that by of our own citizens
who had been a listener in the crowd and who to
court that day unprepared those gents did with
'pockes full of documents but he in his place,
and with pencil oflght portrayed to them and the
people, truths which they had either forgotten had
cautiously cOnceaeu. QlSSOveQ 1alSenOoQ ana
deception which had been dressed in the habimcnts of
truth and candor, and exposed them to public view in
all their nakedness and deformity-he worked their
sums by their own rules, and showed the absurdity OF
their conclusions, and with the firm hand of skul
anatomst he dsseced Whiggery and presented to pub
lie view its heterogeneous conformation and its enden-
cy to destroy republican institutions-He com
pletelv used up the two Wing champions, that they
will no doubt make themselves up here
in future They were detained here day or two
in consequence of the arrival of the cars; but
so soundly mad they been drubbed, that they made
no further attempt to make any Stock for the pen
ming Of them the nezt fall, for Increasing Hhig capital
clear himself of certain charges, which, he said had
been made against him, which, he Said one was that
she had disobeyed Instructions; charge not heard
of before untess orso0t the elections his Dis
rict last Spring! which he ought to have known
entirely in opposition to his course In this
election, the Administration carried three out Of four
evidence of their opinions and wishes" Bat the gen
uean has seen light aoich he is unable to present to
others 1t has been said by inspiration, that the guilty
conscience needs no accuser; whether it is the case
with that gentleman, he is Perhaps the best Judge
"The other gentlemen came UP to prove to the peo-
pie that what they saw black in truth snowy white,
and both Of them endeavoed to make them know that
the Harrisburg nominee was pure disciple OF Jefcr
son and Madison. But Sir, they mistaken in their
if they think that the ree-born citizens OF this
county will bow their heads to their political ugonaut.
No, Sir, No! they have lived free and they intend
to die free They will see in spite OF all the smoke
and dust the Wings raise.
