Errors COrreCteds

We are indebted to that capital journal, the New Or
leans Courier, (of the 6h) for the following article cal
cuated to correct current Misrepresentation org
mating in the New Orleans Bulletin, and thence sown
broadcast by other papers:
.Lieut Col Black of The LIST Pennsylvania regiment of
volunteers has been nominated for Congress by the demo
of Pttsburg Col Black, with portion of his
mand arrived in this city short time since from Mexico
and left last week on his way home. He is excellent
crat though he be-, he goes for old zack and we viii VEN
ture to say, so will nine out OF ten OF his regiment"
The preceding paragraph is taken from the Bulletin of
Monday last and assertion it contains is unounded
Lieut. Col Black is staunch democrat; and
'horzed and requested by intimate friend and
pendent of his contradict the assertion of the Bulletin
that he is in favor of General Tayor's election So far
from it, he is determined to devote his tme his influence
and all hi, powers to the promotion of the democratic
cause and to the triumph of Cass and Butler.
The Bulletin is as much mistaken about the sentiments
If the regiment about those of the lieutenant colonel
far from nine in of the officers and being
Old lack, the reverse is the ac and nine in ten
against him.
Colonel Wynkoop, who commands the regiment left
Pennsylvania whig; but he became thoroughly dis.
gused while in the enemys country by the Of the
wing press the whg members of Congress, and the wings
general. that he declared in letter which written
of his friends and published III the newspapers
that he could no longer recognise the party that which
man who loved his country could call his own.
Mr. Naylo the famous wing member of Congress from
Philadelphia, is captain in the regiment, and he
wrote home that the wing press and wing members OF
Congress had betrayed such OF American feeling in
egard to the Mexican war, that he PEELED to
bounce the party.
We persuaded that both the first and second regi
of Pennsylvania volunteers fthe question put
each of them would give overwhelming majories
| IN favor OF Cass and Butler.
The wing editors should not be quite rash they
in ascrbing to gentlemen sentiments and opinions which
hey entertained and utterly dsavow The Bulletin
Tor instance does great injustice to Lieutenant Colonel
Btck in saying that he goes for old lack" He is OPP
osed strongly man of and judgment be
the scheme of eectng the chief magstacy of this
,reat county who is wholly unqualified to discharge
he duties of any grade of civil office. Lieutenant Colonel
Black is, des brought before the people of his district
ny the Cass and Butler Taylor democratic party
her candidate for Congress This fact has been an
bounced in the the Bulletin itself; and yet
the editor of that journal tells Lieutenant Colonel Black
goes for old lack" The running of old Jack for Pcsi-
lent of the United States is foolish experiment upon the
good OF ths American people but sustain his vain
by Misrepresentation of mems views and opn
ons and by Juggling tricks endeavoring raise shouts
Did Zaak among the people, will react fatally upon him and
his party and before the election comes him to
repent that unucky hour, he permitted him self be
made instrument in the hands of squad of designing
men whose only object is the leaves and fishes
