The Renner of the 8th iwrts. in en article upon the public printing, made an exposition of the j o liticel and official misconduct of C. C. Danlcy, auditor of public accourt*. He was charged with recreancy to the democrat ic party—with having been “guilty of oppression” j in maliciously abasing the powers conferred upon ( him »» a atate officer, and with wilfully neglecting to protect the interesU of the atate in the pay ment of an erroneous account. In the last Oa sette and Democrat, Donley attempts to defend himself from these charges by two columns of pointless argument, ludicrous self glorification and violent personal abuse. Aware of the pro tection afforded him by his impoteney. he has cun ningly endeavored to avoid the real issues by heap ing upon me base slanders and vile epithets. An ignorant and corrupt man frequently resorts to vituperation and abuse for the purpose of turn ing public attention from an exposure of his true character. To such a man detection it especially galling, and he will seek revenge in the detraction of others, where the calumny will create surprise, with the hope that in a new i.vs .c the indignation he so justly merits will pass away. This was expected from Danley on the present 1 occaston, for be had no other defence to offer; but j hia violent language will not t>ee him from the re iCorirH evidence! of hia political delinquency and j entire ignorance and incompetence to perform his I official dufies, nor can [it, in this instance, injure me. • J» It is evidently the last resort of baffled malice, writhing under the exposition of unwelcome truths. | Knowing that his infirmity has already assisted : him into an office far above his merit or capacity, ; he seeks by his slanderous vituperation to provoke an attack, which might enable him to avail him I self of the lowest species of demagogue ism, and I obtain advancement from the sympathy he would I excite. j It is unnecessary for me to reply to the base slanders of one who has so plainly evinced an u'.ter disregard for truth and an entire want of the principles which constitute an honorable «nan. When occasion requires I am ready to defend my self in another manner than by a resort to abusive personalities. Uanley cun not tana reicie tne cnargea mane j against him, nor shield himself from an exposure j of the ignorance which renders him incompetent 1 to perform the duties of his office, uni his disor ganizing spirit plotting treason against the inter ests of the democratic party. He seeks to excuse his political defection in part by imputing impure motives and a disregard of principles to a majority of the recent State de j mocratic convention. He says! ■* When the Convention met. last April, 1 olT. r j ed a resolution, pledging the Convention, in ad ! vanee, to consider the claims of no man who would not pledge himself to support the nominee of the Convention, and advocate the platform which the Convention might laydown as the creed of tpq.Deajfycratic party. This resolution the Contention refused to adopt. I also otTered a set ' of resolutions in the shape of .1 piatforin, which I reiterated the creed of the Democratic party, j ftt fgtJ the C w nl un to sup/jerl the 11,moire, as j Sorted the fact, that, in this crisis, principles rose ] above men—and exhorted the party to lav aside 1 all feuds for the advancement of men or cliques, and unite as one man, and battle for principle.— This platform the Convention refuse'! to adopt. They simply nominated Mr. Johnson, without say ing whether they were Democrats or Whigs. They pledged themselves to the carrying out of no prin ciple. It was merely a pledge to support a man —waiving all principle—and lie was supported, iu the Convention, by men who werts his very oppo site on the great political questions of the day. It will be seen, by inference to the fads men tioned by me, that I proposed to harmonize—that 1 I proposed to unite on principle—that 1 proposed to abandon feuds concerning the advancement of men or cliques—and unite ou principle, and noth ing but principle. These propositions were rejec ted with much less than ordinary courtesy to me as their mover.” Ilis vanity is excusable. Ignorance is always vain; but he should have known that in that Con vention were many honorable men, pure in prin ciple, unquestionably devoted to the real inter ests of the democratic party, and infinitely supe rior to himself in intelligence. These men knew that the principles of democracy are as eternal as M truth itself, that they were as familiar as house j hold words to every republican freeman, and need [ ed not the dictum of a Da nicy 10 give them strength I or declare their existence. It was known too, that the mover of these resolutions was merely the subtile tool of an inconsiderable faction, which sought either to rule or ruin the democratic party, and that the resolutions were offered p 1 rely for political self aggrandizement; consequently the Convention treated with contempt bath the mover and the resolutions, and proceeded to execute the only purpose for which it had assembled, to norm I nate a democratic. candidate fir Congress. The charges made against Danley in the last ‘ Banner, as well ns others I’hich may he mentioned, are m ittcrt of record, moot of thrift ,n h:» own v'Wce, and can not be controverted. He is obliged to ad mit them, and endeavors to parry them with per sonal insult. Convicted of a fraudulent transac tion, he can no even deny that he squandered a n-»rt of the Diibli.1 treasury, through r ui.ttlr hum - rrnttg for* u>S g rn'-r i’lrra h ,'•<•« ,n (Ac «Irct-on \for An Utir. Ue ridiculously attempt t.i casta p.1rt of tlie mil iin of the eli'.iir upon Gov. Hemp I ton, Prcaitlent of the S. iwtc, but be can notsl.it irl I hnnself in the si ghiest degree. By impudently I denying that tie wis tamti in the Byers ease, he ) seeks again to avoid the real i is tie. It is uu.lects j jary to adduce the evidences of this fact .although ! it cau be proved by more than one person) for it 1 is unimportant. It was his duty to have known whether the account waj incorrect. He damns the right to go behind the legalized certificate of another responsible officer, and, waining or no warning, bia conduct in this case evinces teither utter ignorance or wilful neglect. There is no necessity to show that he req uires constantly to lie tmrrnJ in relation to bia offi ual da tie-; and that tus ignorance and obstinacy would destroy the State Were it ii.it for the Trcasurei and the effi cient clerks in Ins offi-e who goad him at all 1 times. Danlcv endeavors to avoid the stigma of with t holding a warrant for a just account bv slating that there is not a shallow of law for the publica tion of the uppendix to the Journal of the House of Representatives. This is a mutter tie is no ionger competent to decide, but this new (lodged Daniel will ere long be forced to acknowledge either Ins i ignor.-.nce of the lues or bis wilful abuse of the I powers of his office. Th.s#Uera»trve however is' already presented, for the records of his office show that At Au piot anal A v ptrum fora turn tar ar^aunl If the publication of the app’ttdu was rttcghM, the account for copying it and lurmshing a copy of it to the public printer must also have been incorrect, | and it is now a matter of record in the auditor's ’ office that be audited and paid an account to the ; clerk of the House of Representatives for furuish i ing the public printer with the copy from which i this very same appendix was printed. Aside frour j all question of legality, be had plainly rattier oc | casioaed a loss to the aute by bis ignorance in the : one ease or is now unjustly detaining what is legal* ■ fy due to the publio printer. It bss been asserted : that the wh.-'le object cl Ihia unusual proceeding ! oa the part of the Auditor was to mnitpaUkcal i euprtef. This is now evident from the manner ve wbith he rings the changes upon having wwif so ruuch to the slate, when in fact he has saved 1 I nothing, for nnlewi rt had bean voluntarily p*H back by (be public printer the amount of the error in tna occouat, already audited and settled, could act have been retained except st tka will of the printer, bat this rating Auditor for rot to m n tioii how much he had l»t to the state by his ig norance and neglect. He ommitted to mention the small item of *8,000 bat tef*< ato<* by his trip to New Orleans when he should hare been at his poet attending to his duties as one of the oumrars sioners of the Penetcntiary. It is doe to my friends, who do not know Han ley's uit'i lallficd perfidy, to explain the charges which he makes against me with regard to'‘swind ling" two reparate Executives and the Supreme j Court Reporter. They are a cunningly contrived I tissue of falsehoods designed lo lend some degree ! of color to his unwarrantable conduct in the mauer j of the accounts lor public printing. I have never yet refused to corret: a mistake 1 when respectfully requested to do so l was absent | from the state during the whole time that Gov. | Hampton was attending to the duties of the Execu j live and could not have press nted to him any ac \ count. And 1 had given bond and seourit y for the 1 correct printing of the 6th volume Supreme Coor iteports and if improperly done was liable for any | error. As to his notice of my conduct in Mexico, l will I content myself at present with republishing a letter 1 from a gentleman much better and more favorably j known as an officer than this self lauded hero.— I The letter from Captain Pike was written as a refutation of these falsehoods when they were I first manufactured for purposes similar to the present.

Ue*r Sir : Your note, of yesterday, informing me that some person had charged that you were coin j pellcd to leave the company of Arkansas cavalry commanded by me in Mexico, on account of dis I honorable and ungentle-man like conduct, has been received by me.

Cntil tile receipt of your note, 1 was totally unaware that any sueh charges had been insinuated; and 1 heard that n was sj with great pain-. When it was proposed that you should accom pany Cap!. Walker, as a clerk, l advised you to accept the offer, because I thought it would be the exjfone of folly longer to remain as a common sofidier, exposed to the hardships of a camp, when you could remain in the service, and avoid the thousand annoyances and restrictions to which one in the ranks is inesitably exposed. 1 knew, aiso, • that there existed, lmtwcen yon and some of your fellow soldiers, some of t hose petty’ d.ilfert arcs ■which privatum and hardships engender, and which render one's position unpleasant. You were under my command from the middle of June until late in December. During that sit .months yon were subjected to the strictest disci pline, and to all the hardships, toils and drudgery of the service. Though you, and many timr- of the noble fellows whom i was, honored in com manding, had been my daily associates, I felt tt necessary to mark, from the b< yinnt'ne, the lint between officer and man,'to require prompt ob - silence to every command, to see thalevery neces sary duty of |>oliec, and all other labor, was equal ly performed by all and I am proud to say that 1 earned, and did not lose, popularity by this course. To all you submitted cheerfully and without a murmur. 1 never knew yi u even to hesitate at an order: I inner had cause to reprove you; ami I can gladly say that, in every respect, g'nitt *».; VI wu that of a gm'.Uma:a, « saliliir, tin t an him ■irih.’r twin; ami that, so fur from your being com pelled lo leave the company, I gave you mv con sent to your doing so, as a favor which you de served: as 1 should have given it to any other oi i the many w ho had always done their whole duty.

By the arrival of the Steamship Cl erakee at New Orleans on the 4th inst, moat distressing in j 1*11 rgc nee lias been received of the disastrous fate of tho brave Lopez and hi* handful of Patrol It would appear fro® the dispatches in the New Orleans TrueDelta, that they had been deceived by the representation* made to them of an organi zed revolution M the part of the Creole popnla ; tion of Cuba, and after landing upon the island ! sad yallrrntly sustaitg themselves in the two eon j,diets with the Sp inish trn*>ps, they were left to maintain themselves wittKiut assistance from the das’atdly people, nt who?., all th;y had sogener I rusty offered their lives'as the pri^c of liberty, un til scattered and dispersed by want and repeated losses, they were finnllynaptnred by an overwhel 1 mmg force of the Spanish troops. Lope* was eseculed by the on the first inst., and his unfortunate followers to the num ber of on" hundred and fifty-five were condemned to ten years lubifl ipclmui upon the coast of Af rica. This is sad news to the thousands of our citi zens whose strongest sympathies were with the j gallant little band of Patriots. When hearts were j benlmg high with hopes of a glorious victory, when'every lover of freedom bad given his prayers and wishes to the relief of the oppressed and the success uf (he brave volunteers who hail has tened to aid them to strike for freedom, the news of this who!sale disaster conies lik" thumb r in a ; clear sky, startling the boldest, with its sudden shock. Mourning and sorrow are added to the generous : sympathy which before existed upon every hill side an 1 in every hamlet where the cause of Cuba i was known. I Hut still the end is not yet. The same arrival which brings intelligence of this terrible blow to patriot hopes, also informs ns that the insurgents avO yet in possession of the mountains near Puerto j #flnc:pe. and we have reason to believe that while the gallant band ot Lopez were captured, thou sands of brave heart* from the several sea-ports of - the Atlat’i: and Ou!f of M -xico were on their way to (lie rescue, and will have landed on the devoted islanders the defeat of Lopez becomes known to ' them.

The examination was conducted by the Fiscal (.an ofli . er assnuiiaimg m Ins functions to our Attorney General) with his .Secretary, m the prison of the Presidio, where Lame was being con lined—the Set retary recur ling question and answer—and was published by order of the Captain General. To lacilitate the reader in the perusal, and to avoid involution, we give question and answer as they are reported, leaving out tne frequent repetitions of tne words, “ the prisoner having been asked,” Otr., and using the lirsi pc son instead of the sec ond. The document opens by saying that the prisoner had been put oh oath, air then proceeds to give the result ol the investigation: What is your name, native land, religion and profession! My name is Francisco Alejandro Lame; I a in .17 years of age: born at Alquusar; I am a Roman Catholic, and admiuistrat r of Hie estate of my mother. When did you leave the Island; did you leave with a passport, and for what du. you leave! 1 left the Island oil the 4 th February, 1819, with a passport for San Franc.sen in California. There being no steamer ut the l ine direct tor California, 1 was forced to goto New Orleans. Did you make your voyage to California, or did you remain m the t uited States; and in case you did remain, what was your occupation during your residence in the l imed States? Failing to receive nt New Orleans some letters which 1 ■ xpected, and beiug ultimately out of mo ney, 1 remained, giving lessons in Spanish and mathematics. Dtd you, after that date, ever return again to the Island of Cuba! I did not until now. Did you know D.

I made his acquamtace on his return from Car dou.es in the year 1830. lie paid uie great atten tion, on account of being a Cuban, and told inc that he would let me know when to join the ex pedition. . nd, in reality, the day before his depar ture, he sent for me, and requested,me to give no other Cubans, whose names 4 Jo no; re -oiled, but all of whom, 1 believe Have been killed, except 1>.

O’l what resources did the expedition rely both i .11 the tinited States and in ibis Island; who wre I the principal agents ir cornrspondeni* both here and there? The means were nearly all furnished by Mr. ■Segur. Lopez stated to me that he (Reger bad given #7o,b!>j i'jr it- purchase of thv rampe-m; that some pistols and cannon were purchased at an auction ol condemned government property: : that the catridge bo*< sjr knapsacks, an l canteens, were furnished by a merchant of New Orleans, i whose name I do not remember, under a receipt from Lopez, which 1 read. I have heard Lopez , say tjjat ho had received some money and some jewelry of.value men the island, and that several j young men were sent to the Island to beg assistance and although he believed he hail other resource* ' in this Island, 1 am convinced myself of the con j trary, I (teause during the fifteen days that 1 re I rnamed with the expedition, he did not receive any, ! and it is clear that if he had nuy depots (<jrpoaiteiO ! he would have tried to reach them. The agents in the United States were "Segur, Luchins* Co.’’ and these were '.he sole mivera of the expedition. Lopez, as Is well known to me, could not expect any assistance in money in tins Islan 1. without the co cperalicn of the Junta at New York, as he was at varieuce with Benlaooourl and Aguero, with jegard to the nimlu of getting up the expedition.— That Junta at New VorH is composed of many other Cubans, whose names l do not know. 1 have nothing more to say. it »j» '7., ir itti a iudtcar> unmatcit, p iu.i-;. • 1 m ' , ■ :i ■ ..

Now f.w the (Irninr \ -a/. Win. H. Seward is at the bottomot all Uiu Webti and Raymond business; and when the governor i reads this letter be will l»e sorely pnxxled what to , do. Now, the whole matter is exposed, some new ; game will have to be played. What the next i " dodge” will be, I can't sraf Seward saw the { necessity of having a pro-slavefy whig paper in this city that could be used as a sort of drag net | to bring the ooutn into bis schemes. So it was ar 1 ranged that Wibb should preteu! ,f.) kick llsy 1 Blood out of hi* office, come out strong in favor of ! the south, oppose Scott, prior to bis nomination, , and then wheel round and s.iy to the south—“ we , have done our best to secure a candidate after our ; own heart, but have failed; we have been /oic/y beaten, and must yield like men; uud we ars in honor bound to support the noiotuecof the party,” i etc. Is not the game pfaiu enough, nowf I t^ink it is. Remember also that Seward gains a new p ipt r entirely devoted to Ins interests. I lhe wing* nave many keen politicians in tl/tir [ranks; but there is no disguising the fact that Sew .ml is both the Macchiavclli auJ Warwick of the [party. He, unglehamled, is more than a match [ for Fillmore, Webster, and the whole southern wring of U»j whig family; arid, when wc take into the account, his barkers, Tnurlow Weed, Wash i .t limit, (Mineral Webb, and Horace (Jreely, with the overshadowing ludneure of the ubiqm [ tuns Tribune, we need no longer wonder that the | Pres,dent and his cabinet, With all tlieif p.> tronage,, [ are compelled to suvcaiub to tie policy and plan* j of Wm. II. Seward. % To use an ordinary, bn! espris.e phrase, Sew ard lias Hie,administration just where he wants ['em. They are pledged to the support of Scott. I That was all arranged at the whig convention of i ’48e The delegates from New York, Pennsylva [ ma, and Oiao settled (hat matter prior to casting i their spies forOen. Tuyt >r. Southern wings then [agreed that Scott should tie the next nominee; j and the delegates from the three “great slates” ' wilt hold them to their bargain. If southern wings refuse to fulfill their promise, the north wiil nom inate Scott for president and Wm. F. Johnson. I he present frees oil governor of Pennsylvania, for vice i president, throw the slavery and coin promise, ,and all similar questions overboard; and make a dead : p ill for the entire northern vote. The ball has already been act in motion in Pennsylvania, and j the entire north will soon follow suit. The New York state whig convention will (al most if not quite unanimously,) rc.-ominond tlen. Scott as the whig candidate for the presidency, and I pass resolutions sustaining the “ patriotic” course 1 of the administration; and the members will then go hom< perfectly understanding each other. If j Seward thinks it advisable a few silver grays may | bolt, and threaten to call another convention, for ; the purpose of throwing dust in the eyea of the south; but no harm will come of their blustering. The thing is all arrinsed. Let thgt democracy arouse and be on their guard. The wtugs are j play mg a desperate game. Napoleon once agreed to give an armorer of Paha lS.OiHi francs, for a coat of mail to be worn under nealh Ins uuiform, and to be positively buffet proof. The steel coat was made and submitted to .Na|Hilcon’s inspection, tie 'ordered the maker to 1 put it on; and he obeyed. To the poor fellow^ j utter dismay, Napoleon then cocked a pistol at ha. ; breast and fifed. The bait felt, flattened, at his feet. Napoleon then ordered him to face about, ' aud receive auo'.her pistol shot in the rear; and. ,as!ly, he took up a fowling piece and discharged it at the terrified armorer. The coat of mail with stood the test, however, to the great delight of Napoleon, who handed the armorer an order to« vution of my lit- imydepond upon the faithfulness with which you have executed your oomauxaioo, mul it was but fair that you tlvmlil allow your work U» bo tested on your own person. Mere arc 18,U00 francs for the coal of m il, and 18,000 francs : for the fright 1 have given you ” Napoleon went for making every nun prove the ' utility of hia works, on tnl own person. A capital idea, truly; aud one that! would like to see gener ally adopted, especially by physicians and patent medaine men. Dr. Talbot Walt* of thiauty, the Napoleon ol M. D'a, ts said to repose auch implicit confidence in a certain medicine that he has dis covered, called tbo “ Nervous Antidote,” that he never use* any other iu Ins facility, firuily believing that it wiil cure any ill that flesh is heir to. Me evt-u carries b.is fa,lb far .tier; he advertises that any consumptive patient, a i matter how reduced, ; nor where living, will be fuciiwued by hmt with the j “nervous a itidote," to be paid lit on tie pattern's ice-i.cr.*. 1 like that method of prutuee; it be J trays a commendable ooutiduiiuc o*i the part of the doctor. * The Chinese have always acted on this prin ciple. If a physician “ loses a patu-ut, ” as the phrase goes, he gels no pay from in*; relatives or executors of tse dead celestial; But, if tue patient recovers, the physician is paid, according to t! e tliucJaieMi «/ ws civi. if ttar sick person lingers over a year, the physician has to pay all the avpuuaaa of bus illness; but, if tie recovers speeduy, V*<e physician vs handsuweiy r-tnuacxuted- The Man darins a.ways Utaptpy a"family physwiaa, at a handsome salary; which, however, is immediately slopped, on the firsl'sympiom of stckrieaa, in any uteixi er of the fsnniy, until a perfect cure m af fected* 4 W uka the Emperor d.us, ail Ute physi cians of the court, a at, if I mistake not, then families are immediately put to death, it strike* use that court physic:vans tn Chin* ffltpii fiiher be very reckless fellows or uvat they Bias* has* as much confidence in their skill as Or.
