silver Mines i'm New Mexica.

The St. Louis Republican publishes
letter from correspondenSin New Mexi-
CO, giving the particular Respecting the
recent discovery of valuable silver mines
in that country. They have been visited
by many old miners, and pronounced to
be unequalled by any in the world. He
describes the principal one, as follows:
The vein commences near the foot of
the immense Sierra of Los Organo, on the
side of a Canon, called ''La Cueva," and
runs direct into the thickest part of the
mountains, thus giving positive assurance
that there can be no exhaustion of metal,
for from the summit to the bottom of the
mountain extends the solid mass of lead
and silver The principal veinis over four
acres in width, while great number of
less width branch out right and left. To
give you some idea of the wealth of this
metal, eight pounds of ore from the sur
face yielded one dollar and over Of silver
in little cuidrado, or ash furnace, where
more than third of the silver was lost;
every vara of depth that is dug displays
metal richer and richer The work will
be carried on by the present owners on an
immense scale, as it is evident they will
not sell, having already been offered large
sums of money for the mine. I am re-
joiced at this discovery for one thing-it
will make trade active, cause money to
circulate freely, and more than all, is col
lecting large number of emigrants, who
settle among us, declaring they want no
better California. The owners, with
laudable spirit, give them the preference
over Mexicans in the work, and we will
soon be freed from that great evil, of Mex
lean domination by means of numbers.

Our NosE.-Whenever any thing in
the shape of a man wants to pull our
nose, he can have an opportunity to do
so, by calling on US, as we generally carry
the article with US. If we should hap
pen to be absent when called upon, it will
only be necessary to leave notice as to
the time we will be wanted, and we will
make it convenient to be on hand. AL
though not possessed of as much jackass
power as some two-legged things, no
threats will in the least swerve us from
the path of duty. Saint-like devils have
no terror for us, and there talk and threats
are as the idle wind. When we heard of
the threats made against us, the following
lines were brought to memory:
''Patience!-my soul disdains it's stole maxims,
The towards virtue, and the knave's disguise:
O vengeance! take me ALL m wholly thine!''

Our Success.

Every day we are becoming more salts
fed thatthe Democracy of Wyandot coun-
ty, are still right and determined to fight
for victory. McCutchen & Co., will find
themselves launched into pit of disap-
pointment that will satisfy them that the
way of the transgressor is awfully hard
In conversing with our democratic friends
from the country, we find them determin-
ed to go for the nominees of our party,
for the purpose of defeating, traitors, mum
grels, and bastards. We are glad to see
the united spirit among our men, for if
united, the efforts of all the corrupt COM
binations of earth, will not in the least eff
feet us.
How is Col. j. McCutchen acting?-
Where will you find him counciling? Is
he not to be found in the enemy's camp
on all occasions, attempting to saddle him
self on the wings as their nominee for
Auditor? This is where you will find
him nearly constantly. The yellow cor
ner is his head quarters, and the enemies
of the Democratic party are his associates.
What Democrat can vote for man of so
little political honesty? When he is with
Democrats heis all over democratic when
with Wings, just to suit the times. In our
opinion, such men are unworthy the conf
dence and support of any party.
Such is the fact with all of the misera-
BILE mungrel party. They deserve ruin
and lasting defeat, such as we hope they
may get.
Will the Wings put Nc Cutchen, or any
man who has taken part in the bastard
nomination, upon their ticket? We have
reason to believe there are too many good
men ir that party, who will stand nomi-
nation, for bastards to ring in on the party.
An honorable defeat by an honorable op-
ponent would be creditable, but success
with such men as constitute the mungrel
race, would be lasting disgrace, not only
to the party, but to the citizens of the coun-
ty.
The Wyandot pioneer. (Upper Sandusky, Ohio) 1853-1868, 1853-09-14
How he Stands!


For the purpose of showing Col. J. Nc
Cutchen up in his proper light, we will
| just give resolution adopted at the Dem
ocratic county convention, heldinthls town
in the year 1851, on the esd day of Au-
gust. In the proceedings of that meet
ing, we find the following resolution, which
was unanimously adopted:
''Resolecd, That the persons whose
names have been reported as candidates
for the several Offices, come forward and
pledge themselves to abide the decision of
the convention, and to support the nomi-
nees"
Now when this resolution was "unani-
mously adopted" Mr.. McCutchen was
candidate before the Democratic Conyen-
ton. Did he pledge himself in accord
ance with the resolution? For his action
on the occasion, we will refer the voters of
the county, and particularly the Democ-
racy, to the proceedings of that conven-
ton, which proceedings declare, that
"Whereupon came George Harper, Jo-
seph McCutchen, and Geo. E. Burson,
candidates for Treasurer, and scverally
assented and agreed to conform to saidres-
olution."
Here you see, that Joseph McCutchen,
when he thought there was chance for
nomination, pledged himself to support
the nominees Of the Democratic Conven-
ton. This pledge was given in open dsy,
when the Democracy were assembled to
make nominations All those that were
at that convention full well know how that
matter stands. Did or did not, this same
Joseph Nc cCutchen violate the pledge he
made in the presence Of a large assemblage
of people? He did violate that sacred
pledge, and came out in opposition to the
one for whom he had pledged himself to
vote. Will an honest man violate that
most sacred of all pledges; one given
withoutcompulsion? Wemustsay we think
not.
Democrats, you are all fully aware Of
the facts in this case, and now the same
man is asking you for your votes. Can
you, knowing his desertion of you and
your party, vote for him? Can you give
comfort to an enemy, who has for his aim
the destruction of your principles and par
ty? Col. McCutchen would, for the pur
pose of being elected Auditor, see the
Democratic party sacrificed at the altar
or the ID. Such is the man now calling
on you for comfort, and like the rich man
in perdition, let him call, but give him not
When this man was making his pledges
in Convention to support the nominees,
"There was laughing Devil in his sneer,
That caused emotions both of rage and fear;
And wheer his frown of hatred darkly fell,
Hope whitening f1ed and mercy sighed, fare
WELL"
Then from this time out, mark him well
and remember, that all his promises are
as false as satin.

To Messrs. Welch, Miller and Hear,
Commissioners of Wyandot co:
GENTLEMEN: I understand that there is
report in circulation in this county,
charging me with an attempt to defraud
the county of Wyandot, out Of the sum
of four hundred dollars; that am, or was
defaulter to the county for that sum, of
the public funds collected by me, and that
the present Board of Commissioners had
detected the intended fraud in time to save
the county from loss in the premises: and
as the tendency of such report is to iniuure
me in the estimation of all good citizens
of the county, and to correct the evil in
fuence: Itake the liberty to ask you the
following question, and solicit your early
answer to the same.
1st. Have you or either of you any
knowledge of any disposition or attempt
on my part, to wrong or defraud the coun.
ty out of that or any other sum, or tc
withhold any of the public moneys, ii

Upper sandusky, Sept. 9th, 1853.
R. MoKELLY, Ese.:-Dear Sir: In an
swer to your communication of yester-
days date, we can cheerfully say
1st. That we have no knowledge of
any disposition or attempt on your part,
to wrong or defraud the county out of
four hundred dollars or any other sum, or
to withhold any of the public moneys in
your hands to the injury of the county. =
In December last, Mr.. Mott, as Audi
tor, called our attention to misunderstood
ding between himself and you relative to
the true amount with which you should be
charged on a receipt that had been given
by you to the commissioners, for large
amount of notes delivered to you for col
lection, previous to Mr. Motifs coming into
office He claimed that certain endorse
ments on some of the notes had been de-
Quoted and the balance placed in the
schedule of your receipts. You claimed
that the amount stated in the receipts was
subject to those endorsements. This diff
ference Of construction affected your ac-
counts some over two hundred dollars
Upon subsequent examination of your ac-
count you become satisfied that you had
been mistaken, and that Mr. Mott was
right. Upon investigating this matter,
we, as commissioners, became fully salts
fed that it was a mistake Oh your part
honestly entertained. The whole matter
was settled by you and Mr.. Mott, to the
satisfaction of all concerned and subse-
quently approved by us.

draft or requistion upon you for any part

re 1t is general report, that one
Judge Carey, whois the nominee of a mum
grel race of politicians. is riding the coun-
ty, electioneering by attempting to get up
an i'll feeling between the town and coun-
try. This may be an honorable mode of
warfare, but we are Of the opinion, that
none other than bastard politicians will
use such weapons. But then, let him 60
on in his own way, and his death will be
doubly hard. What have the citizens of
Upper sandusky done against the country
people? Not thing. But ON the other
hand, they are attempting to build up a
regular market, where the farmers can get
the highest prices going for what they
have to SELL

ExPLoDED-We are Uniformed that some
base, black hearted villains, have been at
tempting to hold out the idea to the peo-
pie of this county, that they have been
wofully swindled in the resale of the coun-
ty lots that were unpaid. This falsehood
will now have to stop, as the exposition
made by our county Auditor, puts the lie
direct upon the men who circulated the
story. Read the exhibit, and then Judge
for yourselves as to the truth or falsity of
the stories now going the rounds, for the
purpose of defeating honest men and put
ting into office those who never have been
charged with political or other honesty
Every falsehood put in circulation by the
base, boiling, bastard party has been ex-
ploded by the most positive and convinc-
ing evidence, and now what the party will
nextsfall upon for hobby, is yet to be
seen. Be sure and read the report of the
Auditor, and you will see how matters
stand

For SALE.-As we have other business
in contemplation, the Pioneer, with all the
printing material, sufficientfor two offices,
can be purchased at avery moderate price.
Printers or others wishing to establish
themselves in the printing business will
do well to call soon and examine our Office.
The most of the material is new and in
good order. We have two good presses,
one new style, double medium, only in use
few weeks TO any person wishing to
follow the printing business, we know of
no better opening.
The town of Upper Sandusky is beau
tifully situated, and will soon have the cars
running in. We have quite a number of
stores, and tradesmen of every description
in full operation. The farmers are gene
ally wealthy, and in fact, we have almost
every inducement to make quite town,
that any other inland place has in Ohio

INv1TATIoN.-It will be seen by card
from Mr.. G. Sprague, that the citizens of
Wyandot county, are invited to attend the
Agricultural Fair, in Tifin, October 6, 7,
and 8. Those of our farmers, and others
who can, will no doubt attend. The Wv
andots, if they have not, should extend a
similar polite invitation to the citizens of
Seneca. Let us have a crowd when we
have our fair; it makes everything 60 off
so much better.

Mr.. ED1ToR:-I am told that it is cur
rently reported through the county, ''that
in event of Mr.. Hoyt's election, am to
continue in the Auditors office, as his
clerk Such report has no foundation in
truth. At the expiration of my present
official term, purpose to withdraw from
the court house entirely, and devote my
attention exclusively to my own private
business. Ny interest in the success of
Mr.. Hoytis no greater than that of other
democratic citizen of the county. By the
unanimous expression of the democratic
party he has been nominated as my sue
cessor. In this nomination I heartily con-
cur. In Mr.. Hoyt's we'll known industri-
Gus and steady habits, his honesty, integ-
rity and capacity, I have an assurance,
that the public interest, under his charge,
will be safe.
To ensure correctness in making out
the tax duplicate, for the first time, under
the new appraisement of the real estate of
the county, will require the utmost care on
the part of the auditor, and I am happy
to know that the public are promised the
services of gentleman, whose expert
ence in the business of the office will su-
persede the necessity of his employing
any clerk In conclusion, Mr.. Editor,
avail myself of this opportunity to ex-
press my sincere thanks, both to the mem
bers of the former and present Board of
County Commissioners, for the courteous
treatment which I have ever officially re-
ceived of them. And to the citizens of
Wyandot county generally, am under
many obligations, for the generous conf
dence they have exhibited. An appre-
citation of this confidence has contributed
much to encourage me in constant efforts
to faithfully and impartially discharge my
every duty. May my successor, whoev-
er he may be, be no less fortunate in Sc
curing the confidence of his fellow citizens
and may the credit of Wyandot, never be
impaired or dishonored by the unfaithful-
ness of any of her officers, is the pray
