A uDemocrat" In Mexico.

The Locofoco papers occasionally furnish us,
says the Baltimore American, with extracts of letters
from Wing officers In Mexico tsuch as Wynkoop OF
Pennsylvania) abusing most fonlly their brother
Wings at home for the course they have taken in re-
lation 10 the war The motipe Of these bidders for
promotion who think This much shorter and much
,rtr road II than hard service or hard fighting IL
so transparent that their violent Trades excite no
other emotion than contempt for the sycophans who
write them. No such impn,ation, however, can be
leveed at Democrat in Mexico who denounces the
great dispenser Of commissions and epaulettes; for
he knows that he is thereby creating an impossible
barrier to his own advancement, while he can hope
for nothing of course from the powerlcss and pro-
scribed Wings. We beg leave, therefore, to give the
Locofoco papers Rowland for their Oliver" In the
following extract Of letter from VIM c. Tobey,
Esq, also Pennsylvania volunteer and perhaps in
Wynkoop's regiment Mr.. Tobcy when At home,
was leading Democrat, as he may be now for
aught we know. II is clear, however thar he IL no
longer Polk man. He writes to The Philadelphia
North American thus;
Let not my brother Democrats who have not
yet discovered who james X. Polk is, cavil that
handle him like true Locofoco without gloves /
do not know Democrat in the whole army, regular
or volunteer (hG should have excepted Col. Wyn-
koop) who does not execrae the man and his war
measures Should II be the privilege of us here
10 cast our votes agnn for President OF our repub-
lie am inclined 10 think that we shall require more
than the pSc DIRT Of Baltimore Convention 10 con-
troll our sulrages, For myself, | shall so with the
old topper who could not be fooled with choice bev-
erage which his landlord said was "bran new whis-
Key, ana none Of your old sinking stuff twenty years
Old" shall take the twenty years old proof In pre-
ference to another new man."

Patriot Mr.. George Wells and Captain s. Flowers,
both of whom are citizens Of Wellsvillc while walk
ing along the marging of tho Ohio river, Just below
town, discovered something having the appearance
of ivory projecting put OF the bunk twenty feet
or moro below the surface Of the earth. They sue
ceeded after nbou an hours hard labor in digging il
out and upon examination by some Of the scientific,
Il was pronounced the tusk Of an anmaf'--it had
measures eight and half feet 10 length twenty-five
and half In circumference, with corresponding di-
amerer, and would probably weigh two hundred
pounds. The surface or enamel looks perfectly natu-
ral--haying yellowish cast, similar to the tusk Of
elephant; and though time had not destroyed the
ivory appearance, the circuitous grain common to
ivory beng yet visible II is quite sofas much as
chalk Or manufactured plaster Of Paris.
