We know from reliable authority that Mr..
Butler waited upon gentleman who once
represented this County, to become a candidate
this year, and that Mr.. Butler and the indiyid-
nal alluded to both acquiesced ia the opinion
that the side cuts ought not to be constructed,
and that if no one else would favor Mr. Buffers
schemes, that he would. Yanderbnrgh Dem
0crGt.
The above sentence, which We take from an
article in the Democrat of Saturday last in
which thatpaper attempts to be very severe upon
Mr.. Butler, has not, we verify believe, one
word of truth in it. We have called upon four
gentlemen. Wings, who have represented this
county in the Legislature, one Of whom is
meant by the Democrat, and they assure us that
1t is false, utterly false. Mr.. Butler never ap-
preached either of them upon the subject while
here. we now call upon the Democrat TO say
who of our former representatives was solicited
by Mr.. Butler to run for the Legislature
When the Democrat answers this call we
have some information to give the public going
10 show that Mr.. Butler not only believes thai
the main line of the canul will be finished but
that the side cuts will be completed also, apd
has so expressed himself to dozens of our citi
Gems. The only fears be and other friends o.
the work entertain are that the restless apc
dissatisfied spirits North of this, will, wher
the Legislature meets, again attempt TO fette
the hands of the trustees and break down the
main line by adding other side cuts The sam,
opposition to the canal now exists that hal
always existed. and it is TO subdue this opposi
lion that the people are called upon to vote il
August for men who are capable of conteading
against it, who know something of business at
fairs, of the interests of the people and how tt
take care Of those interests.
We think the Democrat is wrong about an
other matter We do not believe there are an
"gentlemen in the city who take it in hig
dudgeon'' when that paper "tells the truth t
the people" about any matter. 1t is only whel
that journal departs from the truth that 'gen
tlemen take in high dudgeon" what it says,

OC-"Facts are the data ofall just reasoning,
and the primary elements of all real knowledge
Says the Democrat, and we admit the ''cor-
rectness of the principle" Therefore do we
contend that Gen. Cass is Federalist. He
commenced life by abusing Thomas Jefferson,
editing federal paper-advocatiRg and de-
Tending the federal party, and wearing the
black cockade. His acts since then as miais-
ter to France and Senator in Congress have
convinced us that he is still federalist al
heart and only assumes the name of democrat
to acquire Office and the spoils. We have pub
lished no "libels'' against Gen. Cass, as the
Democrat insinuates, The truth is sufficient
for our purpose, and when that is all told we
doubt if the Democrat will not loath its candi-
date as much as we do.

A TRUE WING PATRloT.-"The following"
says the Ohio State Journal, sis from an en-
thusiastic Wing in the Northern part of the
State-one whose voice has often been heard
in the councils of the party, and whose expert
ence and wisdom entitle his opinion TO conf
dence and respect.
Old lack must be sustained as the Whig
nominee, unless it shall appear there is some
gross fraud in his nomination. As Wings, we
are still left TO resist the extension of slavery.
as efcctualIy Us aoe haze been able, to with
the drag of Libertyism at our heels. Wings
may say of the Abolitionists, as the Irish poet
said of his country.
.shes Johnny Bulls spooney-a jill and clog.
Like canister tied to the tail of a dog"
If we decline to support the nomination be-
cause of the location of the candidate then we.
limit the bounds of the Wing party by an ar
bjtrary line; but if we refuse to support Gen.
Taylor because of his being STAKEHOLDER, then
we abandon the Constitution as test and
guide in the administration of the Govern
ment. There would be some sense in saying
we 60 for melo Constitutions new Conven-
lion of the States, or dissolution of the Union
unless the old land marks were destroyed, and
the good old rules of republic anism, under
Washington, Madison, Adams, down 10 Jack
sonism, were again adopted in he legislation
of Congress, appointments to off &c, and the
use of Executive influence. But, until oppo-
sition to ultra slaye-power can ass ume some
tangible and feasible form, will no t consent
to lend my aid TO the disruption of he Wing
party north and south, or to course c alculat-
ed (if not designed) todissolve the U MON for
the benefit of a new seat of prating dema gogues.
There is nothing TO prevent an honest mans
administering the Government honestly now.
as of old, belieue Gen. Taylor TO be an hon
est man. Nor do think patriotism is bound
ed by geograp hical lines-and less willing a m
l to admit it is monoplized north by Liberty
men.

To the Hon, Truman Smith,
We have heard a political opponent, cele--

gushing trait in Gen. SCOTS character was
magnanimity, -that he was one Of the most
magnaninous men in the world. This may

dignitaries of day huff, and insult, and put
down the superseded soldier of Churubusco,
and pit him, in ignoble battle, with General
Gideon J. Pillow, as if unworthy of any no
bier conflict or pEonder antagonist. 1t may
surprise such persons to learn that General
Scott, thus matreated anei deprecated posses
ses quality, the very Hottest of all the al
tributes of greatness; and that, in that particn-
lar, as well as ia his capacity of a renowned
conqueror, he is one of the greatest men in
the world. Those who know Gen. Scott-i
only from his public history-understand thi:
matter, and are not surprised at a virtue
which has shown out in all his acts, and i.
strongly expressed in the above little letter.
No man can read it, rejecting upon the pecu
liar circumstances under which it was written
without the full conviction that it was pennet
by one whose whole nature was-and is-mag

ton.

UnCA, June % Z. M.
The convention re-assembled this morn
ing.
A letter was read from Illinois, numerously
signed, which closes thus:
.sWe want MARTIN VAN buren, for a candi-
date for President, the slave power broke him
down in 1874, we will break that power down
in l84s."
A motion was made to nominate president
and vice president UiUG UOce. The motion was
mepded by nominating Martin Van Buren, for
President; this was received by reclamation.
Afterwards I'll. Dodge was nominated by &C.
clamation for vice president.
There seems TO be no doubt but that Martin
Van Buren,, despite the latter read by B, F.
Butler flom him, in which he expresses his
wish to remain ia private life, will be induced
to accept the nomination.
A large mass meeting was held, which was
addressed by Marcus Morton, Taylor, of Gin
cinnati, and the delegates from Illinois, lndi-
ana and Wisconsin.
The convention has passed resolutions adyo-
eating the freedom of the public land to actual
settlers at price barely sufficient to pay the
expenses of surveys.
Aplap for the organization of the campaign
was then read and adopted.
The convention finally adjourned.
