The "LErTEns DE CAcHEr."-A

The "LETTEas DE CAcHET. "A ire
mendous shrek was sent up from the u
Mon few days since, because Gen. Tay-
lor's "butchers" had caused to be drawn
up and printed eirculor letters dismissing
locofoco office-holders in violation of his
pledge before the election. They could
not wait to urife The dismissal! The
shrek of the Union became the howl of
the locofoco press, and of the party lead
ers, and they began to think the indigna-
tion of the people had been awakened a.
gainst this high handed tyranny-,his in
decent and oppressive haste.
1t unfortunately turns out, that these
circulars were got up aud printed in jan
uary last, by Col. Folks Secretaries, and
were intended to be used in Diminishing
the wings from office. The origin of these
circulars is now admitted but locofoco like,
some shift is resorted to in order to old the
appearance Of acknowledgment of wrong
and that shift is, that the circulars were
prepared by tha-hte administration, be-
cause they knew the incoming administra-
ton would get them up if they did ot!-

Col. William Patterson.

The late loco foco State Convention nominated
the individual whose name heads this article for
President OF the Board of Public Works. Such ac-
ton on their part is quite surprising on many &C.
counts. In the first place he has shown himself
opposed to this very improy by conserving to
be chairman of q meeting to check its progress in
the construction of rail road
from keokuk in its stead. The meeting was held in
Keokuk some two years since. Whether he has
grown in favor of the measure since then VIC are
unable to say Unless he is convinced of the FEAST
bity of making slack water igaton and the peo-
pie of the Des Mones Valley are convinced that he
is so, they will be rather shy of voting for him. we
should think.
In the next place, Col. Patterson has been a can
didate several times in Lee county, but we do not
think it can be shown that he ran on the leg-
mate party question. He once as an anti-Mor-
mon candidate. He ran four or five times on the
county seat qussyun, urn u~surssy ~ s.>.a.,
down the regularly nominated democratic ticket,
when he and wing succeeded. How such man
should be taken up and presented by the late Con-
venon as suitable candidate for the support of the
democracy, without bringing better vouchers for
his political orthodoxy than he has done we cannot
see.
Out theIe are Othcr reasons why we think the
people should not support him. Among them is his
connection with the famous Bribery affair in Iowa
City, in 1916. The testimony of Mr. Johnson c.
Chapman of Lee county, whose honesty and truth
fulness will not be questioned, himself democrat.
fastens the fact upon him in way that no bubble
can ever set aside. This may be seen at large in
the appendix to the Journals of the first meeting of
the State Legislature, and which printed in
pamphlet form. part of this testimony is as fol-
lows:-
&c I do hereby certify, that on Tuesday, December
"a, 1886, was authorized by Col. VIM. Patterson of
Lee county, Iowa. to offer to Josiah Clifton and Reu-
ben Conlee, each the Of hundred dollars for
nInety-nine years If desired, without interest, if
they would give their votes in election then about
to come on, for United States Senator's in the Gen
era Assembly for such a man, or men, as the said
colonel William Patterson, would name. for the Of
nee OF the United States Senator's. Also, was au-
thorized BY Col. Patterson and Sas Haight to offer
Clifton, individually, their own part and the part
OF their associates, to enter into bond of ten thou
sand dollars, If necessary, to him appoint
ment IN the Land Office as Register or Receiver;
providing, he would vote for the men for the United
states Senate, whom they would name. The above
named Conlee and Clifton are members of the House
OF representatives. Of Iowa.

we hope our citizens will SO far coincide in the

Letter from Gen. Scott on the Annexation Of
Canada.
We find the following letter from the
hero of Lundy's Lane, in the Philadelphia
News Of yesterday:
WEST PorNr, June 20, 1S49.
Nh Dear Sir The news from the Par
must, | think, increase the discomfort of
our neghbors on the other side of the st.
Lawrence and the lakes, not little ; and
that those discontents will, in a few years,
lead to separation of the Canadas, New
Brunswick, &c., &C., from the mother
country, seems equally probable.
Will those Provinces form themselves
into an independent nation, or seek con-
nexion with our Union? l think the
probability is greatly in favor of the latter.
In my judgment the interests of both sides
would be much promoted by annexation
the several Provinces coming into the u
MON on equal terms with our present thir-
ty States. The free navigation Of the St.
Lawrence is already Of immense impor
lance 10 perhaps third Of our population,
and would be of great value to the re-
mainder. After annexation, two Reve-
nue. Cutters, below Quebec, would give
us better security against smuggling than
10000 custom house employees, strung
along the line that separates us from the
British Possessions OF our Continent.
am well acquainted with that line, and
know great deal Of the interests and
character Of the Provncials. Though OPP
posed to Incorporating with us any dis
trict densely populated with the Mexican
race, should be most happy to fraternize
with our northern and north eastern neigh
bors.
What may be the views of our Execu-
tive government on the subject, | know
absolutely nothing but think | cannot
err in saying that two-thrds of our people
would rejoice at the incorporation, and the
other third soon perceive its benefits.
Of course, am opposed to any under
handed measures, on our part, in favor Of
the measures, or any other act of bad faith
towards Great Britain. Her good will,
in my view of the matter, is only second
to that of the Provincials themselves, and
that the former would soon follow the lat
ter-considering the present temper and
condition of christendo be doubt
ed.
The foregoing views have long been
in the habit of expressing in conversation,
| give them to you for wha: they may be
worth. Faithfully yours,
WINFIELD SCOTT.

COMPENSATION FOR LOSS OF APPRENT1-
cEs SERv1cEs.--In the Supreme Court
at Nantucket, last week, Reuben Meader
recovered 1868 damages of Andrew Rob-
eson for the services Of an apprentice of
the former. The apprentice absconded
four years before his time was out, and
was employed by the defendant, who paid
him his wages, although notified by the
plaintiff that he should hold him (the de-
fendant) responsible for the value Of the
apprentices labor.

HEALTH OF New YoRK.-The report

The Board of Health's report last week
of deaths by cholera, showed only 1877,
being 100 less than the report by inter-
ments, and the discrepancy between the
two, so far this year, is 355. While the
whole number Of deaths of all diseases for
the last seven weeks is 1924, in the cor
responding period of l848 it was only L.
500. The Commercial of Monday eve
ming, says:
"The whole number of deaths by the
disease, from its commencement up to this
day inclusive, taking the city ms pector's
reports for the whole time, with the ex-
cention of yesterday and to-day, were L.
l36. In 1882, up to same period Of the

Yesterdays Gazette has the news that &C Pickett''
has received an appointment from the President
through the instrumentality Of Col. Warren. He
does not tell what the appointment is, neither does
his informant, the Capital Reporter. They seem to
grasp the statement for the double purpose OF ma
king It set-o for the reward secured to the noto-
fions Townsend for his services in behalf of dis
tinguished loco foco hereabouts, and to give Col.
Warren renewed evidence of their continued ha-
tired Of him. It is cap-trap, the whole of it. Hear
what the Gazette says, after announcing the state
nent:-
We doubt not that such is the fact. Warren is
IN Picketps power, and he knows il. He knows,
too from Ps desperate character, that it will not do
20 let him go unrewarded. By sending him to CAL
any future exposure Of the Mormon fraud is greatly
diminished. Hyde is still to be provided for; but
ne, too, will get his reward in good time.n
The idea Of Col. Warren--the Gazette hates to
Asar him called Colonel--being in Picketps power,
= quite laughable. Every thing that Pickett did in
oehaif OF the wing party is well known. Both he
himself and Col. Warren have often told the whole
story in public. he has been appointed to an Of
dee By Gen. Taylor. his character for competency
had been most fully endorsed previously BY the rec
ommendation Of two distinguishedloco focos OF this
