Another Lie Nailed.

A story has been going the rounds of the abo
lltlon papers that John B. Weller, Minister 10
Mexico, recommended the Mexican government 10
recognize the Southern Confederacy, and an ex'
tract from what purported to be speech of Gov,
ernor Weller to that effect, was given in proof OF
the charge. The San Francisco Journal, when
was one of the papers which gave currency to Inc
story says that Governor Weller has telegraphe,ui
from Iuolumne that it is not true and that he VIII

Messrs Editors:--1he democracy of this
section have been having a regular success
sion of democratic. .jubilees, and are perfectly
elated with the prospect of their success
On Monday evening last, Messrs. Hamilton,
Dudley and Crandall, spoke at Iowa Hill to
a very large audience. That Union Brass
Band furnished music gratis; there was no
passing around "tbe hat" for mendicant
purposes either--we have none of that kind.
On Tuesday evening, Hamilton, Dud ley,
and Cravens, our candidate for State Con
troller entertained the good people of
Wisconsin Hill, who are very enthusiastic
in the good old cause Of Democracy.
On Wednesday night the Democracy Of
Monona Flat were out in "blaze." We
had grand torch light procession, accompa-
MED by that same Brass Band, from Iowa
Hill, accompanied by many of the sterling
Democracy of that place. Indeed, we had
joyful time. Hamilton, Dudley and Cravens
made excellent speeches, and were enthusias-
ticallv cheered by the large audience present: ::
The Democracy Of No. T. are "ave" and
will give good account Of themselves. Dud
ley and Hamilton will speak at Damascus to-
night, and tomorrow night at Horseshoe
Bar, where they will have rousing meeting.
On Saturday evening Hamilton and Cravens
will speak at the Bluffs. Mr. Cravens will
also assist in canvassing No. 5 and must
say he is doing good service and making ma

LOUISVILLE, May 2, 1853.
GENTLEAEN:-Your communication of to-day,
notifying me of my nomination by the Union Dem
ocratic Central Committee as the Union candidate
for Governor of Kentucky, vice Hon. j. F. Bell
declined, TO be chosen at the next august election,
is before me.
impressed with profound sense of the grave
responsibilities which the position imposes in this
our day of peril, it would have been gratifying to
me had the duties devolved upon some other than
myself But when our nationality is imperiled
and the lille of free government is assailed an i'm
perative sense OF duty impels me to labor earn
estly and tearlessly wheresoever assigned in the
struggle to preserve our national existence, and 10
transmit to our successors an unbroken heritage
of free government.
therefore accept the nomination rendered, and
shall maintain, with such ability and energy rs
may possess, the principles enunciatcd in the Res
outions adopted by the Union Democratic Con-
vention assembled at this city on the 18th of

The fact is COL Bramlette, has no aboli'
tionism about him. lie was fast friend of
the Hon. John J. Crittenden's, and enter.
tanned similar views with that eminent states
man in regard to the unconstitutional course
OF the present administration. The friends
OF Bramlette in Kentucky, occupy similar
position to the democracy of California.
There is another significant fact, which has
occurred to the Union party of Kentucky
and the northern States generally. 1t is
this: On Tuesday last unconstitutional
Union Meeting" convened at Rochester, New
York, for the purpose of consultation on the
subject of peace, and for the purpose of or
ganizing in the different States the old Whig-
Bell Everett element, which is diametricalv
opposed to abolitionism, and that Garret
Davis, the able United States Senator from
Kentucky, who opposed the schemes of the
Administration party in the last Congress,
was a prominent member of the Convention,
and who is and has been for years a fast
friend of the newly elected Governor of Ken
tucky, it is therefore very safe to conclude
that the abolitionists have received severe
rebuke in the recent election in that State.
Such is the fact, which no truthful man can
deny. And we doubt not we shall have the
pleasure Of recording a similar glorious vic
tory for California on the 2I day Of Septem-

A Poor WAY TO MAKE VoTEs. We are
informed that Mr.. Yule, in his speech at
Ophir on Thursday evening last made a
very bitter personal attack on Mr.. Hamilton,
the Democratic candidate for Prosecuting
Attorney; dealing in personal illusions and
reflections which were unbecoming any man,
and can only tend to lower the author in the
estimation of discriminating public How
Mr. lule can so conduct a political canvass,
and retain his own self-esteem, we cannot
perceive. He can gain nothing by such
wanton personal attacks. He simply dis
gusts the public.
