GENERAL MILLER OUT FOR CLAY.

The last number of the Gettysburg Sentinel
contains letter from General t. C. Miller, who
at the last election acted with the party to which
he has hitherto belonged, and with very large
number Of others in his section of country, sup
ported Mr.. Skunk. He will, however, at the
coming election support Henry Clay. We an
mex passage of his letter:
"As to the truth of the charge of being rene
gade from the Democratic party-this depends on
the meaning of the word. If it means apostacy
from Democracy, (and apostacy from Democracy
means Withdrawing from the support of fraud
uently nominated political demagogue, who is
out and ont free trade man, and deadly hostile
to all the interests of Pennsylvania then plead
guilty to the charge, and pride in its truth. | am
not content to sacrifice myself and Pennsylvania
for the qualification of any party, or the personal
honor of any man and regard not the censures
of those mercenary editors who live off the party,
or the vituperaton of demagogues, who would
sacrifice us TO obtain office for themselves.
I" But if it means apostacy from the old princi-
pies of Democracy-the tariff and other mea
sures--then they are the last in the world that
should dare to use the word I advocate the very
same measures ever did. Was the tariff never
Democratic measure? If not, they are rene
gades' if they are friends to the measure. If the
tariff, has always been Democratic measure, and
they yet its advocates, why do they accuse
me of being renegade when there is no differ
ence between us?"

THE DENOUEMENT.

The country was never SO flooded, as now, with
ings to the South" :" South in Danger" attacks
upon the 'Natve Americans detences in one
quarter, and dcnunciations in another, of the

Wings! Their work of detraction calumny,
FORGERY, and FALSEHOOD, has been done as
with five hundred horse power, and is nearly
finished. The denouement is upon them. Let

morse which will prove the only fruit Of their dia-
bolical labors ~
