To tho Editors of the American Organ: lnt
GENTLEMEN: Knowing me as well as you do,
you win be satisfied that il is from no unfriendly
or captious spirit that take exception to your
designating Mr.. Richardson as the Democratic
nominee for Speaker am Democrat myself,
and expect to continue such as long as live. l
cannot, therefore, hear with patience, that name
applied to men who have desecrated IL. have
always been in the habit of associating with the
term Democracy rights Of the people
civil and religious liberty for all peoplethc Union
Of the States, and American independence. What
right have they-a mere remnant OF the Demo-
cratic party, with a few cast-of Whigs-and who
have abandoned It's course and its principles, to
arrogate to themselves the name of " Democrat 2"
Men who have deserted the interests of the peo-
pie, identified themselves with a religious sect,
the head and ruler Of which Is a foreigner and a
king, denounces all who oppose the union of
Church and State, as the vilest Of the vile, and
the very creed Of which Is intolerance of all other
sects; men who have labored openly and indefa-
tigaby to subdue the people Of this country to the
domination of that religious power which spares
neither age nor ser, that does not yield para
mount obedience TO the Pope of Rome; who have
done their best TO reduce this country to Papal
despotism, not only by their own efforts, but by
the aid also Of the votes of foreign criminals and
paupers, friends Of despotsm and foes to civil and
religious liberty; whose whole course has been to
deceive and to enslaye our people to subject
them to foreign rule, subvert our public school
systems, to forbid the common reading OF the Bl-
bic, and in short, to destroy all Of our free insti
tutions, and the Union ITSELF What right, | cay,
have such men to arrogate the mime Of Demo
erat n Such Democracy as theirs, gentlemen, re-
minds motto use the languages Of Elegius Fro
mcnlin in reference TO the Democracy Of the

was very profuse, was stopped by the appli-
cation Of ice and tight bandagcs about III
O'Clock on Saturday night Thus far there

finger to the depth Of four or five inches
Captain Wright says that the blade entered

have been caused by the blade opening one

danger arises out of the fear of internal he

through the wounds in the intestines into the
abdominal cavity, which would be followed
by Inflammation and death.

Bend Register, of which Mr.. Colfax the
member of Congress from that district is
Editor, was burned out few days ago. The
morning after the fire Mr. Drapier, Editor OF
The Forum, in the same place, wrote a note
to Colfax, rendering to him the use of his
Press and materials till he (Colfax) could re-
place those he had lost or had been damaged.
To this note Mr.. Colfax replied in a sneering
manner that he had no need to avail himself
of the offer, while in his next paper he stated
in big capitals that he was compelled to take
his paper to Mishawaka, distant town, to
have it printed.

WILLIAM WALLACE, ESQ:
SIR: 1 see by your Gard, in the Journal of
the 10Th inst, that you labor under the i'm
preston, that / have lodged public discus
siontof the principles dividing the Democra-
tic apd Fusion parties in this canvass This
is not true. When l received your note,
had, in conjunction with the other Democratic
candidates, made appointments in various
townships of this county, and of course could
not interfere with those appointments. / can
now meet you in some of the townships where
1 should be pleased to discuss with you the
principles upon which we divide.
The Democratic party has always proclaim
ed its principles, never entertaining one that
was not intended for the public eye. In this
discussion, shall require you to meet me on
equal terms, which understand you can now
do without violation of your Know Moth
ing oath, (the secrecy of the order having
been removed) In order, therefore, that !
may be placed on an equal footing with your
self, shall expect full confession of the
principles and policy of your order, as taught
inside of your Know Nothing Lodges, togeth-
or with your agns, grips, passwords and
oaths, and full expose of their political
meariag, in order that may discuss them in
their political bearing.
trust you will see the justice of this pro-
position, and at your earliest convenience ad-
wise me Of its acceptance, so that the arrange
ment may be made without delay.
Very respectfully,
