Correspondence.

TgoY, ALABAMA, June Q, 1855
Gu the 4th instant the " ball" was put in motion
In this county, by convention called Democrat.
ic,p bat really composed Of every shade Of politi-
clans, consisting, when all told Of about fifty per-
sons, brought together after the most strenuous
efforts upon the part of its getters.up, and that
too, in county Of more than twenty-five hundred
voters
This convention was presided over by a very
clever Scotch nan. One Of the secretaries was
secession Whig and one of the principal actors
was an Irish Catholic Wing, who as condition
precedent to going into the concern required that
a resolution strongly denuncatory Of Sam"
should be passed, which was done, aud he "took
stock"
A ticket Of very clever men was nominated for
the Legislature and county officers, and Governor
Winston fully endorsed, and the fight regularly
opened but the ubiquitous sam" is on hand,
and, my word for it, win scarcely leave grease
spot" of this fusion, moHgyel concern on the first
Monday in August next. In fact, "Sam's' friends
are "legion" here, and will give good account
Of themselves when the day of trial arrives.
Some OF our friends have supposed that the
election of Wise in Virginia, and the course Of
Toombs aud Stephens in Georgia, will injure the
prospects OF the American party in Alabama, but
conscientiously believe that it viii not affect us
forty votes.
The Alabamans are an independent, thinking
people, who have torn themselves loose from the
control of the old leaders, and have set up for
themselves, and instead Of being led, now lead the
leaders The county will be thoroughly canvassed,
and every man that will, can understand our prin-
ciples and we think it is only necessary to give
"Sam fair hearing, and he will fasten himself
upon the affections of the american people. Des-
pots hate him. This at least, is the opinion of
One or THE PEOPLE.

Now, Mr.. Editor, as 1t Is most evident from

other foreign governments have long sought to

fair to infer that they have resorted to other and
just such means as the American party now seek
to counterfeit and render null and voidf If not,
why is it that the country has been 30 rapidly filed

Another Victim.

Mr.. Richard Carter, for long time principal
door-kecpcr Of the Treasury Building, was removed
yesterday without cause assigned. He is well.
known ms one Of the most respectable and efficient
officers Of his grade, in tho employ Of government
IN this city. The Superintendent Of the Treasury
building, Mr.. Mexican informed him this morning
that he was not aware that any complaint had
been made against him, and that his department
had been perfectly satisfactory to him, while act
Ing "a door-keeper.
Mr.. Carter, we viii add, has not only discharged
his own duty faithfully, but moreover has for the
last two years, performed the duty of another
doorkeeper who has been absent from III health,
bat who has drawn his pay for tho whole time.
Mr. Carter has performed the double duty without
extra pay: and the absentee has received the same
pay with himself
Tho only cause which Mr.. Carter can assign for
bis removal s his refusal TO vote an open ballot ut
the late election In accordance with the decree Of
the Sag NIGHTS Association at Harmony Hail. He
Ia an old.fashioned Republican and has never been
accustomed 10 the dictation Of foreigners or Cath.

yea. ago. and always regarded Washington rs

The Great Secretary.

We recommend to the notice of the people
of Kentucky, from whose circle we have been
furnished with the present distinguished Sec
rotary of the Treasury, the glorious career he
has run since he has filled that important
station.
Beginning with his judicious selection Of an
Assistant Secretary, every sway suitable for the
work he had to perform, he soon showed, by
his prescription of such men as Bronson, that
he had no affinities with Old Line National
Democracy. lie has, since that exploit com
pleted the outline of character then commenced,
by lending himself to the persecution Of Amer
leans of ali grades Of office, and the promotion
to Office of Foreigners and Roman Catholics.
His last exploit is contained in the following
letter to an humble laborer, whose whole Of
fence consisted in refusing to vote m open
ticket at our late election in this city. We
congratulate the Secretary and his friends on
the distinction he is acquiring.

Eighth District of virginia.

Mr.. Boteler, now in Philadelphia, has written a
letter to friend in this city, in which he states
he intends to contest the election Of Mr. Faulkner
on the ground of fraudulent votes cast for that
gentleman. The Berkeley American Of Wednes-
day has the following article on this subject
1--WE perceive that an anonymous letter writ
ten In the Baltimore Sun attempts to create the
impression abroad, that there exists no opinion In
the district that Mr. Faulkner was elected by fraud
and goes so far as to assert that no one has dared
to make such statement IL the district or to pro-
claim that he was elected by fraudulent votes.
This writer alleges further, that no suggestion
hint of the kind has been made in any paper Of the
district. Upon all of which we have only TO say,
that the election is almost universally believed to
have been carried by-iraud, except by the parti-
sans Of the returned candidate-that such ID and
has been the common falkland that three days
before the date Of the letter in the Sun, written
from this place, We charged, in our paper, upon
information relied upon by u.s. that fraudulent
votes averted his CFaukner's) DOOM The writer
of the letter and the copyist Of it the public can

ave arc apprised within the last day or two,
that there is a demand for contest from differ
cnt portions Of the district-especidliy from the
county Of Page. That county gave Pierce $40
only; it now gives Faulkner 1887. Whether the
contest could be entered upon requires, in large
district like this little than t,oo peeks TO
determine. Indeed, looking to the immense labor
and expense of such a contest, II may not posi-
lily, although the seat would be secured by Mr..
Boteler, be deemed advisable TO undertake t-of
