OSTThe Editor of the Beacon, propounds to US
several questions, have forgotten some Of them,
and have misaid the paper but recollect three of
them, which are about as follows:
Ist. Do you approve of Gov. Whitcombs being
the friend Of both of Mr.. Van Buren, and General
HarrisOni
Certainly we do He was Just as thousands of
other good and talented Democrats were. The poti-
cal and personal friends of Mr.. Van Buren,, and the
personal friends of Gen. Harrison. To this we have
objection. Gen. Cass says, IN his Paris speech,
that he one of that kind of men, and if it does not

vile SIM for an old Hunker" to hold the same opn-
ion.
2nd. Do you approve of the Governors manner Of
nominating Supreme Judges
We learn his nominations to the Senate from the
Journals, and there see nothing objectionable. He
sent in the names of several good men, who were
mercessly decapated by pretended political friends
who are the that to blame for the present
political complexion of our Supreme Court. If the
Senate had wished Democratic Court, it had it in
its power, to have made it
Bird. = Does the editor of the Democrat, approve
Of the course of the Sentinel towards the editor of thu
Beacon!'
When the editor of the Beacon commenced his
insnuaons that he knew of corruption among certain
Democrats said nothing, but waited considerable
time, until we satisfied, that the editor elthe
knew nothing or dared not to let out what he pre-
tended to know, and that it was to end in fzzling
and all the printing and picking was to be flash II
the pan. We then recommended to ALL peace ant
union this disregarded by the belligerants, ant
we have only noticed much of them since, as
became our imperative duty, IN discountenancin,
DISCRIMINATION, and improbable contentious in

NEW MODE OF CURING THE HAM.-An English
traveller writing from Ardennes, thus describes
method of preserving the ham, which is certainly DIFF
ferent from any thing generally known in America Z
The ham is cured in brine of SALT saltpetre, and
aromatic herbs-viz: a few bay leaves, wild thyme,
and handful of juniper berries, and little garlic.
1t is STEPPED for about six weeks and then dried In
the smoke of chimney a wood fire. When
wanted for dressing it is buried in the ground for
about twenty-four hours. and then boiled, with the
addition of the same aromatic herbs in the water.
After boiling, the bone is taken out and the ham is
pressed under heavy weight. As a corrolary to
the dressing, it may be added that often happens
that the ham, when produced table, disappears at
one sitting.

The other " Democratic" paper that was to be
started at indianapolis by Morrison and Covngon, 1t
is thought will never be started. The exposure by
the Sentinel of its editors and friends, have caused
pause. Whether the charges made by the Chapmans
not, pretend not to say, but if the new
editors back the people will be apt to think there
is truth in what has been said and published by
the editors of the Sentinel. Judging from letter
writers and the Democratic papers generally, large
majority of the ''Democracy of the State opposed
to the publication of another Democratic paper at the
seat of Government. If the paper gets into
operation there will be some skinning between the
Old Hunkers and the Young Democracy, which will
be fine sport for the lockers on" but very Little to

here is apparent, because gold has not fallen in val

per cent, while the genuine would give but 40 per

The TariG ana the Currency.

If any thing is more remarkable Than another
in the conduct of the advocates of direct taxation,
disguised under the pretence Of encouraging hume
industry by running the foreign trade Of the country,
and consequently the Federal revenues, 1t is the pro-
found silence which they observe in relation TO the
operation Of National Bank, for which they contend,
in promoting imports Of foreign goods. While it
enhances the cost Of producing here and consequently
throws the whole trade into the hands of foreigners
despite any Tariff Imposed, how high the range
of duties may be- it has far influence than the
duty upon imports Take nannels the comparative

these Lodges for benevolent purposes, all the above

Bold TRAPPER.-1lany stories are told of the
feats, of the daring adventures, and hair-breadth
escapes of the free mounted trapPers but it may be
worth while TO mention one which Richardson, a
Kentucky man, well known to the servants of the
Pany one OF the most austere and daredevil traders
of the mountains, used to tell. 1t his boast that
he carried provisions his journey in his most
dreary and distant travels His good horse his trusy
rifle, his pistols, his knife, his steel and flint his traps
coil of cord and wallet, his only accomplishments
and his only trust in Providence. Furnished with
these, have heard him say he fears nothing over
river, frozen lake. or mountain, or barren plain
tie was out alone, hunting buffaoes, and at the
close OF the day, returning to his tent when he
heard Gathering of hoofs behind him. and upon look
ing back observed three Black Footed Indians, we'll
mounted, in hot pursuit of him. He Immediately
threw off his cargo of Tighten his horse and
then urged onward the animal to his utmost speed in
hopes to ouStrp his pursuer, but discovered that the
enemy were gaining rapidly upon him, and would
soon have him at their mercy. He then adopted an
eXpedent as singularly ingenious as it was despe-
rately bold. Drawing his long knife, he plunged il
into his horses neck and at severed the spine.
The animal dropped instantly dead and the deermin-
ed hunter, throwing himself behind the fallen
prepared to meet his Pursuers. In moment OF
the Indians came within reach of bis rifle, and was
shot through the heart The other two, seeing the
fate of their companions. halted for a moment, and
then prepared to surround the enemy but as the first
had sent his ball whstling by the ear Of Richard
son. he himself dropped from his horse, from ball
from one of Richardson's long pistols. The third
seeing this rather dangerous game to play, whipped
his horse, and was out of sight. Richardson
had then only gather the fruits of his victory. He
caught the two Indians horses, mounted one, loaded
the other with the discharged cargo of meat, ant
returned home with two spare rifles, and good stocl

professions may not be seen through. In all the
wrangng about the fall in prices known to have taken
place during the past few years, the chief of
that fall the explosion of the rotten paper SYSTEM
Is kept entirely out of sight, while reduction in salt
and other articles is pointed TO, in proof that high
taxes diminish prices; yet, singularly enough coffee
and other free articles fell quite much if not more
than the dutiable ones.

Now, under the cheap currency of 1885, the foreign
of hannels increased II cents per yard, 3 per
cent, the duty remaining tie same. In 1912, the
Tariff fell to 20 per cent. ad vaorem, and with fall
of 10 cents per yard in the cost of annes, while the
import fell to a mere nominal amount. Now, 1t is
very clear that the high tariff here did not reduce
the price. What then did do it 3! Simply the con-
traction in the currences both Of England and Ame-
RIGA and the diminished exports Of 1872 consequent
upon the operation of the % per cent tariff o. the
extra session upon imported articles before free.
Notwithstanding that fannels had fallen 40 per cent.
in foreign and the duty per cent the purchases
were less. Why Because the means of the farmers
consequent upon a fall of produce were less. The
duty fannels now is Ia cents per yard. If, now,
by the establishment of paper bubble through the
of National Bank the price here is restored
to where it stood in 1886, 81 cents being rise of 40
per cent, of what avail is the tariff of IA cents per
yard, or 80 per cent. ad valorem! Thus,
