This design I have entertained for some months past and have only postponed carrying it into effect until this time at the earnest solicitation of a number of the active supporters of the paper, and some personal friends, whose wishes I did not feel itlibeny to disregard. embarked in this enterprise, with strong hopes of making the establishment a permanent and profi table one, and also useful to the Democratic party, More than one half in numbers, of the Democrats of this _county, were. and still rensain, opposed to the ab 'boon doctrines and disorganizing course of the Re-Porter. That piper,aln fact, but the or gan of ONE MAN ; and that man, notoriously re garded by the sound demscracy of toe state and of the titian. as A TRAI ['OR to the party and its prin ciples: To fellowship with him, is to abet politi cal treason. ,'Po follow him And blindly obey his bidding, is the most grovelling Species of political vassallage; sure to bring upon those who are an. fortunate enough to do so, certaic political degra dation. - I had every reason to believe,. that a thor ough democratic journal. sympathizing with the par ty in its national feelings and associations—was ?tot only needed, bin would be well sustained in Bradford county. The experiment has been made; and so far as I am concerned, I am forced to say, It , has not been successful. la , desire to censure no one; but, with two or threeenerousandinanly ex eeptions, few efforts have be e- ea made to give the pa. per a circulation and support,—whilst its enemies have, spared no labor, or pains to clog its progress earl prevent its success. Promised aid his not been forthcoming; and I ans,imperativety induced to doubt whether an hcmesi, national, and radically democratic paper eon succeed in this county. It is true, the circumstances of my being a stranger, was, seized upon by the tools of Wilmot; and every spe cies of falsehood employed against me personally, and against the paper. My efery motive was be lied; and my every hope mistaken. Purposes new. er dreamed of—and parties with whom I never had the remotest concert, were put , prominently forward to prejudice the people of this county against my projects: and opposition, bitter, relentless and dis honorable has assailed me at every step. So far as lam iodividoallr concerned, I could have borne all this, and battled with my enemies to the last, if I could see any useful result in prospect. I thank, most sincerely, those personal frientle—of both parties, who have extended me their counte nance and support. Theirkkindness and confidence falling upon the heart of a stranger, has made the most indelible impression—on which neither time nor distance wilfever efface; and which will always be recalled and acknowledged with the most trate ful emotions. WEIN pORNEY. • Wwi's idea of tithdrawing • " from alt partici pation in tee political affairs of Bradford" is a pleas ant ftarent of the imagination, as the part he has played therein, has been so small art to be imper ceptible.

Ah ! no,. Wein You found the Dentocracyot Bradford firmly united, and your weak efforts and the malignant slanders of your masters only made that party the stronger in I unity. Your attempts to mike them believe they were about equally divided were failures; your mission unsuccessful. Your efforts have been to bring about such a state of things, but have been of no avail. We are extremely sorry our lamented •friend should exhibit en much ill•humor. T -sure, his mission to Bradford had produced o good fruits ;• his cherished hopes may Isere • blasted—his . aniicipations never realized ut if Wein was can did he would say that it is they the fault of his backers, than of any one else.

His insanity is of the mei embolic order, and at times he appears quite ra tional. A short time since he eluded his keepers and e-caped to the streets. Search was made, but _ineffectually, till his brother. Raymond recollected that he had often expressed aidesire to go to the country seat of Mr. Charles Chouteau, seven miles out of town.

Swart, Esq., Civil Engineer, takei strong ground in favor of the prac livability of a, a sub-marine telegraph between America and Europe. He proposes to coat four separate wires in a solid Gotta Pemba conf, one and three-fourths of an inch in diameter ; •and to oink this, by snouts of anchors, as was done 'be *een Calais and paver.' He urges, however, that the anchors should be heavier than those used on that occasion. In laying Jowl. the him he thinks that fifteen ships of one thousand tons, and two fast steamers as tenders. The distance between Cs ' Clear, in Ireland,. to a point about one hunt d miles above Halifax, is sixteen hundred mile . A hue of this length, such as is proposed to e ploy, would weigh nearly eight thousand tons, d re. quire six hundred asic-hors. The cost of everything, when in complete wanking order, is estimated, by Mr. Stuart,rt not over three millions of dollars.— The wire could be laid down in twenty days, and would projietily last one hundred years.- The tine would be sunk below all anchorage, and below all action of the water. A sub-marine telegraph, .of this deecripion,has been projected between. Ens land and Irelan g ; @TAM it should succeed, the at kampt will be made in the broad Atlantic. - Teautacr.
