"ueroic Age.o

The readers of the Banner have become familiar with series of political writings with this sig na- ture, taKen from the Washington Union. The ex- traordinsry sprghtIiness and satire which dislin- guish them, the vein of brilliant humor and fla miliar wit which they discover, has given them a circulation and popularity which few merely po- li,ical papers attain. There is something in the style winaing and peculiar-no imitation has been successful; at oue time, as weapon ofridicue, he applies most happily anecdots of the day 10 the unfortunate condition of the ''Second Washington '' lhat must produce sde-aohng meriment; al another he will introduce some legend from his store of classics in moment 10 lash with terrible severity he'execative octave" and the gentleman who plays dummy at tbe cabinet meetings We have been often asked who Heroic Age" and have felt no little curiosity ourself to the author. IL has been often attributed to the Junior editor of the Union, Mir Burke; but the Pittsburg Post says that 'Jesse F.. Dow, formerly door keeper of the House of Representatives, is ihe < Heroic Age' of the Washington unOn. Mir Dow is we'll known as all author, having written some years ago 'old Iron- sides d Lee-sbore'"
 Whoever he may he, we hope he will long con- tinae with his richly flowing pen to exhibit to the people with the proper cas,igation the absurdites and weaknesses of the present government.

A horrid murder was perpeisted on Vache Grasse. iiI this couaty, about noon the 4th instant The facts, as far We have been able to learn are as follows: From some improprieiy in the cotduet of hls negro. Mir. Anderson, highly respectable citizen of Benton county, lea home some ihe last week, for ,be purpose of selling him. In company with the negEo he through this city and crossed over to Fort Smith On Sunday about three o'clock F. m.. the negro srri, ed at Fayetteville, with hts masters clothes and remarked to another nssYo that he bad killed his master. The fact that hls master had not returned with him, was of itself sufficient reason 10 suspect something wrong, and upon search being made for the negto t was found that he had made his escape. With prsiseworlhy alacrity goodly number oihs cltizsas ot Fayetteville started ia pursuit of the negto while at ihe time Col Alfred Wilson, MT Dinsnore. brother-in-iaw of Hr. Anderson. the Rev. Mir. Stout. and Mr. ksats came this way m search of Mr. Anderson. They passed through our city on Tuesday morning oa the other side sf Fort smith. on Vache Grasse. the search proved sueeessfuh-Mr. Anderson WIS foaRd about l50 yans from the road welterng Ia his gofs his skull fractured in a shocking manner, and his throat cut from ear te eaf.
 Col. Wilson. and the gentlemen who accompanied him. passed through our city op Wednesday, on tbe,r ieturn to Fayetteville.
 Should the negro be arreated, he will be brought to this city for trial. as the crime committed within the limits of Crawford county
 P. S.--Siuce penHing the above hnes, the mail has reached us from Fayetteville. There IS u0W no doubt of the negro's guilt. Some of the party m pursuit of the negro, after having up with and shot him, about 25 ni;es from Fayetteville, near where his wife lives, retuIned to the honse and found the negro washing his wound. His escape was then so precipiiate, that he efi his panalOons behind, one pocket of which contained Andepons purse, with about $li. The paHiaIoons show bah wound, which indicates that the bail must haze lodged in the hip; aud from the appearance of eloed blood on the suspenders, he is to doubt wounded in the shoulder. II is supposed that he is mortsIly wounded. It is now positively kaown that the that he had disclosed his intentions to some free negroes of the negbboIhood.
 We understand that Mir. Anderson was Mr. Meek ns brother iaw Principal of the Ozark Institute.

MR CALHoUN's ADDRESS. Noah, Editor of the New York Messenger, speaks in the highest terms of the address, and pays It a compliment in the fol- lowing termsS
 This important documeat-more important from tho peculiar crisis which the country finds itself is destined 10 create a profound sensation every wheTe aud, as far as Mt. Calhoun is personally and politically concerned; he s deeply indebted 10 Col. Benton for enabling hun to reply to his attacks in manner so triumphant, and to vindicste himself and his motives from aspasIons, which none who know Mr. Calhoun ever ciefited. The document will nnite the south 10 raan, and that alone necessa- " 10 settle this qaesiioH to the salisfactiea ef all parties. We shall have few words to say abont this manifesto in our next. It is paper highly creditable to the eminent author.
 The New York correspondent of the Washing ion Union, has the following paragraph on the same subject:

They can show to the world that if they cannot make correct decisions they at Ieas can re- main in session and at alLsvenls decide questions and dismiss Iiiigants who are suffering from delay

The democratic freesoers Of Massachusetts indignantly repudiated the idea of coalescing with the whigs They are anxious for harmonious union with the democracy. Although 10th to give up their freesoi notions, they say that they will not abandon vital democratic measures for the sake of nniing with any party. whatever course others may fl to pursue. Let this spirit be cultivated; let them remember that this reesoism is an ex;riusc question, agitaled by designing politicians, merely for the purpose of creating division in the democ- racy. They will soon see that the maintenance of democratic principles and measures is greatly para mount to the qualification of sectional prejudices and in little while we will pull together to drag the 'heroie administration"

JUDGE LYNcR IN DEsHA The Jeffersonian gives some horrid particulars ot the killing of William party of ieilow-mserean,s. An old quarrel exis- ted and sundry rencounters had taken place At last Day came after James with several men, one of whom was represented as a constable. James gave himself up, was taken before justice, and commit ted te jail On the way thither, his ea2tors halted and sentenced him:
 'One was 10 shoot, and another was to skin him the constable preached his funeral. They then asked him how he liked i,; he did not reply, Day then sung Jesus my al to hesvcn Is gone" and at the end of his song shot him twice, hitting him with about fifty shot, which passed through him 1 hey then left him.
 If this statement is correct, hanging is too good for the cruel and awless perpetrators of the crime

Tk6 L1tter of cen. cn,s.

We publish to-day the letter of Gen. Csss in re- ply to one from Mir. Ritche. enclosing some strie- tutes of.lbe New York Courier and Enquirer upon his cpihiohs.
 ltisone of the hest snd most interesting doeu- meais we hase lead lately. and deserves inc aiiep- live priusal not only Of every demoetat and south einer. but of every lover of republican institutions who is willing 10 hear the truth Tn this letter. Mr. Cass shews hiInssIf true and consistent democrat. He not only avows inc principles promulgated as the creed of the party by the Baltimore Convention, but advocates those positions win plan lorebe, and reasonable arguments. He entirely reiates the ma ficicus misrepresentation of his opinions, which have been so impadehtly circulated by many of the whig journals, and puts to rest all doubt as to his pOsitioa upon ihe leading political issues of the day. He displays an admirable consistency with hls former acts and previously expressed cpn- ions.
 Upon the tsriFquesiion, he recognizes as his own the doetrihe adopted by tue Baltimore Convention. In reference 10 the internal improvement system, he iterates the acknowledged principle of the dem- Ocraic party "hat the Constitution does not confer
  mence and carry OH a general system of internal Improvements
 His remarks upon the WiImot Proviso agitation, will be read with eager interest. Upon this ques- tion he is alike true and unchanged repeating the exposition ot hIs sentiments expressed in his Ncb- olson letter. he denies the power of Congress 10 e- g'siate npon the subject, and the expediency of Congressional interference with the internal regna tions of States or territories. Such legislation 'says he without representation. is the very essence of despotism-s We give the letter entire, and ear nestly commend h to inc attention of our readers Ii has met the approval of the democratic press throughout the Union, and cannot but receive the admi,sfion of every sensible and unpreindiced rea- der. Gen. Cass now occupies proud and cnviabIe position compared with many of h,s rounent CO., temroraries. What contrast there is between his true and fearless consistency and the fathiessness of Taylor, tle aboriiuable apostacy of Van Buren, and the time-serving hypocrisy of Benton!
