This tricky letter will doubtless have the effect
intended: the Loco-F oco mechanics and manutac-
turers will read it, and say, :" Just see how our
candidate refutes the slander that he is in favor

Look at my letter: 1t speaks of Democracy, and
Whiggcry, and high Tariff, and one adjusted
on equitable principles, but not word of Pro

The MEETIEG.-There is every indication Of
strsng rally Of the Wings at their head quarters
to-morror evening at National Hall, to receive the
nomination of Rober, Smith, whose name by the
way strikes terror to the souls OF the jobbers and
spoils. seekers of Tammany.
An impression has got abroad tina, the meeting
is to be held tonight. We are requested 10 say
| that this is error.
The MERCER TR1AL.-The evidence taken on
the trial of Mercer, on Saturday, was wholly upon
the point OF his insanity. 1t was explicit and
strong. Mr.. Paynter saw Mercer at his house a
day or two before the killing of Heberton, and
thought him then iasane. John D. Davis and J.
Bennett both watchmen, saw him also, and gave
detailed account Of his strange actions, incohe-
rent remarks, wild appearance, &c, and stated
that at the time they believed him to be in an
sound state of mind, and that they still believed
DR.. Lippincott, physician who attended him for q
number OF days, gave his testimony; declaring that
he believed him to have been afflicted with insanity.
Several other witnesses testified with equal di-
rectness to the same effect.
70 Hon. OLIVER H. SMITH, late U. S. Sena-
tor from Indiana, is proposed as the Whig candidate
for Congress from the indianapolis District. We
fervently hope he may be elected. There was not a
more indefatgable or efficient Member of the last
Congress than be, and his treacherous defeat last
winter was deeply lameated by the Wings through
ou, the country. His return would be hailed by
all Wings with shou, of gladness and triumph.
90 The Boston American, the Tyler organ,
abuses US personally and grossly for stating that
the Tyler party in this City had dsbapded. We
shall return no railing for railing; but when it is
seen that the Tyler party has actually creps into
the bowels of the Van Buren, parsy,-(and is
hardly welcome at ,hat,)-the American will
perhaps apologies for its scurrilty Tuesday
week will show that oil the Tyerism in our City
has been merged in regular Van Burenism.
