Mr.. CHANDLER: IL has always been my
desire, and more especially for the last few
years of my lite To live retired, neither aim
ing at office for myself, nor using an undu.
inhrence to obtain il for others. My gen.
eral course has been, when number of can
dldaies are before The people To take out the
map OF their past lives and spread 1t be fore
me; but surely never did that rule work more
admirably than in the present canvass for
President. The map ofold lack life presents
"a rich picture, aud often gaze upon il with
delight. will not attempt a description OF
il, you air have il before you. shall only
sey that admire him Tin conjunction with
his noble and victorious partner IN arms Gen
Sco,,) as having redeemed his counlry from
The dire effects OF executive misrule and
rashness, and from having freed i, from the
100 just approbum which was Cast upon i,
II home and abroad.
should not have troubled you Mr.. Editor,
with these remarks, had il not been for an
editorial article in Fridays paper of The Der
Jcrai, the following is an extract. "See
that all your democratic neighbors do their
.!uty. Some good honest foreigners may not
Nnuw The day of the election Inform them
of it-and see that they are furnished with
the right kind Of votes Ii 10 needless TO say,
they are democrats. They have experienced
too much OF whiggery, that is of arisiocracy,
in the old country, as they call il; and they
ion'I wish 10 see any thing OF il here. Re
member the wings will Try to catch the hon
EST foreigners in 1.-The Rough and Read,
trap" by hurahIng and shouting their sill,

is all wing hoax, and let it be put dorm. >

| ing a compass of about SIX miles square prin
cipaIly sei,led by English aud Irish, will, |
am persuaded give a vote on The wing ticket
al more than two To one. "They have ex-
perienced too much Of whiggery that is ais
'ocracy, in The old country We do moi
pretend TO be Judges OF the proper sgnifica
ion of The different terms he uses. but we
mus! do justice by saying, that The greatest
arisiocracy We have seen since We left lhe
sold country" was in the course of The pres
Ell, administration, and in Van Buren's reign
which presents fearful sample of prodignl-
liy and irickeiy, Of thirst for conquest and
an undue exercise OF The veto power-ihe
rue gei rs, not OF arislocracy only but OF
despo,sm. We would wish the Editor oI
the Democrat To know that we too highl,
valu. that pure liberty which was purchased
by the blood of our revolutionary Fathers
and guaranteed 10 US by The constitution to
butter il off for his coniraband wares, nd thai
we will spurn with The grellesI indgniiy their
usual attempts 10 force their votes upon us
which would certainly be depriving us Of The
fair right of suffrage, 10 which is appended
the right also Of judging for ourselves wha
are 1.-The right kind of votes"
We consider that We would have made
a poor exchange in leaving our friends aud
our happy homes, il there had been nothing
better in reserve for us than the kind of re
publicanism the Democrat has 10 offer.
In CONCLUSION, I would ask Of you Mr. Ed
tor what is meant by Swing hoax, and lei
il be put down" This is the cry general,
used by the NIB in Europe when they wisI
to do away with anything they don't like
whether right or wrong, but we hoped tina
in this land of liberty wc would be ont o
hearing of these iyrannical and bullyn.
