DEAR SrRs :--Arriving here yesterday from Pike county, Mo-, and being much fla tigued, concluded to rest. In the course ot the day, I came across the Address of the Democratic Committee of Louisville and pe- rused it diligently, although with pain. l could not help feeling indignant at the gross and low dishonesty of the party to which l have ever belonged, in making and spread ing such garbled and forged extracts against the good old patriot and father of the West, Gen. w. H. Harrison.

 The first vote ever gave was for Jackson. also supported Van Buren; but will not stand it any longer. am now forever done with the poor mans enemies; the present V. B. spoilers. Little did think, when left my home, that should SO soon feel con- strained to change my politics, but, thank God, my eyes are opened, and in Novem- Der next, if live to go to the polls, l will give the honest, the good, the great Wm. H. Harrison my hearty support.

 look upon the Address of the Democratic Committee of Louisville as being one of the darkest deeds they could be guilty of. Such an attempt to gull and mislead the public and rob the advocate and friend of my own dear State, Missouri, of his laurels, causes me to reflect ard look back upon my past folly in advocating so ruinous a cause. now throw off my chains and will be free.

 Very respectfully, yours, &c.

 JAMES c. SMITH.

 x,..xu> .uuoon.=We are authorized to state by gentleman who was present, that at log cabin meeting held at Easton, Penn sylvania, on Saturday, June p, ONE HUN DRIED AND TWELVE persons, nearly all of whom had previously been active parti- Zans of Van Buren, and the remainder neu- tral, publicly announced that they would " vote in favor of WILLIAM HENRY HARRISON and JOHN TYLER, for President and Vice Pre- sdent of the United States, at the next Presi- dential election."-N. Y. Times.

 Charles A. Wickzife.-This gentleman is now acting Governor of Kentucky. A few called the New-Era, published paragraph saying that he had declared for Mir. Van Bu- ren. The paragraph was duly copied into the Richmond Enquirer. We said, in noti- cling the Enquirer's islander on Mir. Speaker Hunter, that he would have to retract the charge, as soon as it had time to reach Ken lucky and return back on him. How far we were correct, and what will be the astonish- ment and indignation of Governor Wickliffe when he hears it, may be inferred from the fact that on Friday the 18th instant, Qhe very day the islander appeared in the Enquirer) great whig meeting was held in Henry coun- ty, (ky.) and the very first speaker who ad- dressed the meeting was Charles A. Wick life! Whilst he was thus defending with his transcendant ability the cause of his country, and rousing up his ellow-citizens to a sense of the dangers which beset them from Loco Focoism, at that very moment the En- quirer was accusing him of having united with those whose principles he was denounc- ing! Is it not too bad that mans reputa- tion can thus be, even for day. lied away!

 Baltimore Patriot.

 During Gen. Harrison's speech at Cleve- land, some one in the crowd called out to him for declaration of principles. The "old man eloquent" stopped moment to listen to the call, and then replied in substance as follows: "l make no pledges. Your Presi- dent is not the man to enact laws. Go and elect your Congress. and instruct them in every thing concerning the laws you wish enacted, and should be the successful can- didate, will endeavor to 'see that the laws are faithfully executed,' and when 1 shall have done that, the duties of the executive, according to my notion, will have been full filed"

 The gentleman in the crowd replied, on NSiS' AA"sl USAsuE A thS kShllSaho' was answered." that he was satisfied. And so said they all, and so say we.-Buf. Cen.

 Value of Loco Foco Ne,os.-We learn from the Louisville Journal, that few days ago, Messrs. Foster and Johnson, electoral catidi- dates in Tennessee, had an appointment to speak at Russellville in that state, but for certain reasons failed to visit the place at all. A loco correspondent of the Knoxville Argus, however, not knowing of their failure, and supposing that they had spoken according to appointment, toroie Oat q particular account of their pretended speeches, and stated that eight achigs had been concerted to the administration faith by the discussion! ''

 Pretty Serere.--Not long since Federal Vanocrat in Indiana stepped up to soldier who had fought by the side of Gen. Harrison at Fort Meigs and the Thames, and accosted him thus: My Friend, I am really sorry that you continue to support old Granny Harrison" "Don't feel bad about it, my good sir, (said the veteran in replyD am al- ways willing to be chased among the SUD- porters of those who defended their country The only difference between you and me sir, and you were making money, by smuggling prouisions 10 the British at the same time."- This was clincher-the Vanite made tracks as fast us possible.

 Bed BugS-Receni~ trials have established that the plant known to botanists as the PO- logonun, punctuGtu,n, commonly called icater pepper or smart aceed, and which may be had in great abundance along ditches, roads, lanes, and barn yards, is an effectual and certain destroyer of the bed bug.
