Let our bachelor friend of the Gazette - take warning—Mr. Peters was a whig, "a Henry Clay whig." , , (1 - 111 . r. Clay, in a speech delivered at Bal timore t:ttring the administration of .oltri Q. Adams, said'that he deprecated the n ovation to the chief executive oflice of the nhtion of "A motithr 3tifxrAny6iffErr.tts" souch, in rii view of the cense - wieners likely to fol ow, that he would prefer, instead, that Heaven should, in mercy, inflict upoii our beloved country, "war, pestilence and famine." What do the original Clay wings, who now ' go _it strong for Gen. Taylor, 'who a year and a hair ago was unknown out 4 the army, think of this. Ile'has fought three successful battles, andis emphatically "a tnero military chieftain," made so, too, within the time specified. Do they now repudiate the above well known sen timent of their great leader? We shall see. t An Indian Rom We r believe it, is notlenerally known that. B. F.

We were never yet mistaken in our c: Latins of the emirs of the whig party, or presses. We have ,a case in point. On our return from Chicago, wo remarked to several - of our p olitic all friends, that two weeks would not elapse before thelGazotte would attempt to make political capital out of the proceed ings of the Conventicin. , This week's num ber of that paper 'de onstrates the accuracy of our calculation, in rt l an attack on Geri. Cass, characterized alike fo • want of candor,. truth and•honesty. The letter of the Generaloietul at the Chicago Convention, is seized upoii as .the,pretext. The letter referred to was not Written to that Convention—and should never have been rend befort it. A delegation was appointed to ate' d the Conventihn at a meet ing held by the Wiz+ of Detroit. General Cass was not ap ointed at that meeting, but the delegates so ppo need wrote him a note, inviting-him togs wilt them. The letter re ferrd tn, and whi h h s called forth our neigh bctr and caused so many unjust reflections on' its, author, is sin',pl nothing more nor less than a ndte declining, for good and sufficient reasons we &lit: not, to accompany them.— Now in this 'view of the case, and it is a cur- . reet one, we cannot but regard the conduct of the chairman of the Detroit delegation, in lay ing such a 'noteliefore the7Convention,tts dis honorable, and totally unworthy the character of a gentleman. Such conduct is benealli contempt, aid we wonder at any respectable politician or editor givlnAlluntenance to it. Were not en. Cass's views ;hell knoWn to the people f the lake comity, it woulti hay? been very p oper-in him tlj It 1.-o writtena let. ter to the c nveiqion "dehni tg 'hit's posi ion."l But, such is not the case, an the chairti an of the' Detroi - delegation' lw li ' knew it—tll - ., whole coon ry knows it—his course in the United States Senate has - been bold and open i on this, as well as every tither question, and requirs no new :_editiiiti every six months of a 1 "manyfuld letter writer" to 'explain it—and yet for the purpose of placing him in la false light bek)re the people, this despicable trick is resorted to. : 1 So much for Abe letter . .and now, to the charge of the Gazette of :his non-committal position in regard to the impfovernent of riv ers and harbors. The editor of the Gazette- , knew the charge was false when he made it —he knew he `was uttering that which lie could not prove, and which the records of the United States Senate, since Gen. Cirs became a member, stamp with double distilled, pre meditated and: unmitigated falsehood.," We speak plain r -we are not ditiposed, whbn a man puts forth:so bare-faced an untruth, upon ,su small a pretext, tolte mealy-mouthed in tel ling him of ii._ If the editor of t'the Gazette' lh id a good excpsefor misrepresentation, w mild look upon him with,,charity, but when, i as in this 'tistance, there Is no exc:ise, nor even the shadow of one, we ! carinothut regard him lost to all feelings of political honesty ' and truth. No min had more iudueuce, and exerted himself in,re to procure the passage of the two last' harbor bills than Gen: Cass. ;lAnd none, we :_ have reason to know, exerted his intioence More to induce the President to I sign them, th a n he. And yet/his - recorded 1 votes on the jn ! i' - iiiltl; of the Senate, his; ldhor: I in committee .oa out, to procure the Passage' of the y l hills, and his. repeated visits totand Im. portutities i of the President, to inducelhim to 1 sign -them, go for nothing in the eyes' of the editor a f the Gazette.
