Bp bw leCent infamous attempt etassassination he baa forfeited all right to be treated with common re spect. It wss s desperate amt dastard plan to prerent, even by the roost violent and criminal mesas, any further exposition of bis ignorance and; depravity. J ustice to those who hare not an opport uuityto know the teat facts of the esse, stone requires a notice of the collection of falsehoods which be has put ferth in the last Gaxette and Democrat, I as an excuse or palliation for his infamous con duct Actuated by inveterate malice and the paltry desire to make for himself a little political capital by Ibe lowest species of demagogueism, during my | absence from the State last summer, be took oc casoo to charge roe with an attempt to defraud the State by an erroneous account for public printing. Immediately upon rop return steps were taken to ascertain the error, and the amount, by my request, was deducted from that still due to roe from the Stste. Usd this not been done, still there could bsve been no frmu4 in the transaction, for a bond with securities approved by'lhe general assembly, had been given for the faithful execution of the coatract'for public printing, which securities, to gether with myself, were liable for any malfea sance on ray part. Foiled here, he next perverted to purposes of oppression, the powers given bun by virtue of his office, and, without a vestige of authority, refused j to pay an acoount already txaminrd undeirtijie Iby ' the qfiictr appointed bylaw for that purpose. He knew at that time that there would be no court i in session until December next from which a writ of man Jam *m could be sued out against him to com pel lym to perform his duty. He was aware that the public printer would have been liable upon bis bond had he omutc.' to do the very printing for which he ret used to pay. The racords of his office show that he had already paid an account for famishing the printer with the manuscript from which this printing was done. He knew that there were evidences among the records of his office which would Drove that maieail of protecting the interests of the State, he had cither through ignorance or the grossest neglect, paid ac counts known to be erroneous. It was a notorious j fact that the State had lost $S00u by his neglect o' bis duties as commissioner of the Penitentiary. The evidences of the truth of the charges against him were incontestiblc and he sought to escape the consequent odium by violent abuse and vitu perative slanders. Finding this of no avail and fearing further exposure and conviction of his polit ical treason, official incompetence and deliberate falsehood aud depravity, he resorted at last to the basest means which malice could suggest, nation.

C. Danley left his office at an unusual hour in the morning for this purpose; that their intcn- | lions were known to Borland previous to the affray, that 1 was informed of their bloody threats about ten nnnntcs before being attacked; and that, urged on and aided by their confederate Borland, they were endeavoring to consummate their murderous intentions after 1 had fallen exhausted and inca pable of resistance will all be promt to tl e fullest extent in the Judicial investigation which has al ready been begun. It is needless now to comment upon the miserable subterfuges, false statements and trivial excuses by which they seek to palliate theirguilt. The truth which they fcar to face will soon be (mown ! to an outraged public. I now leave them to their own impending doom and the just judgement of lha! public, which they have so shamelessly attempted to deceive. L. A. WUITKLEY. European Cotton Market. By the arrival of the Franklin, the following ad wees were received with regard to the cotton mar ket in Liverpool and France: In Liverpool there was an animated demand for cotton, with an advance m price of about Ith of a penny over the rales brought by the last steamer. The daiiv sates were about 10,000 baies. The , Havre cotton market was very active. Foreign lutelligeure. From the following item, winch we tind a won/ Iht' intelligence from Europe, it will be «eeu ihat the threat* of the Spams h government to call to their ani the naval forces of England and France, to enable them to retain p isxessioa of the island of Cuba, were not mere idle boaata. The Euro pean paper* aUte that “the French Ambassador at Madrid had promised the Spanish cabinet the assistance of France rgainst American piratical attempts for the mi aaurn of Cuba." When France and England thus willingly array themselves on the aide of tyranny, the United States has no dunce but to espouse the cause of freedom. “The Ladies-Cud bless ibcrn.” At a recent firemens' celebration in Cincinnati, the following gallant toast was offered: “The Ladies—God bteas the dear creatures:— They kindle a Jhmt that the firemen will not ex tinguish.” It is a distinct feature of American politeness, that wherever and whenever the sterner sex may he assembled, they do not forget to pay homage to female worth, excellence and beauty. In no country in the wolid does woman occupy so elevated a social position as in this republic, and in no country is the influence ol woman to great in giving tone and direction to public and private morals. Our ladies should understand and appreciate this respmsib lity. Corrox Pnavraas Cowaxnox.—It is pr .p.jsed to hold a mass coaven tou of cotton planters at Macon Ua., on the 27th October. The idea origi nated among the cotton planters of Florida, where '-he proposition to assemble this convention has been agitated fir two years. The object cif the convention is to investigate and find a remedy for the irregularity and continued tendency to reduc tion of the price of our gieit southern staple. Al ready primary conventions have beta held in some 1 parts of Fonda, Alabama, Georgia, and Tennessee ind delegates appointed to the convention at Ma son.

An espreasion of indignation by an incensed somni unity ha* forced tbeaetwo persons to present noe explanation of their cowl net in the affray of. the 16th iaat. In attempting to pallbt# the infra moa* part whieh they acted on that Oceanian, the m«t malicious and flagrant misrepresentation ia retorted to, awl an effort ia made to place me in a poaitkm utterly falae. Public opinion Made it neeaeaary that Borland should present aunt* plau tibie reason for the outrage and violence be had perpetrated, bnt no one anppoard He would tie weak enough to attempt a justification up m the ground that I waa ** about to shoot a cripple in the hick,” and iaat of all. did any one suppose that for the purpose of scree ain; the Senator, Dantey would hare yielded himself a faeile tool to eoTToborate the charge. Borland has also obtained the certificate of a person named Pope, stating it to be “its rm^n Mien I would hare shot Dantey.” but for the timely arrest. The statement of this gentleman is so completely contradictor) in itself that any one who reads it wilt come to the conclusion thst he either did not see the fight or that through sympathy for his friend Borland lie pretends to have witnessed things which did not occur. One who will posi tively assert as Dr. Pope does, thst " bath Denfry sad Whitt ley hud I heir botla te him" when l pre sented the pistol, is entitled to no credit for sny other statement he may make in illation to the affair. But in aeeking the truth every sensible man ■rill ask naturally—what rt<i$a» had Reardon for "shooting the cripple in the back.” If he used his pistol, he could only properly have done so to prevent the dastardly interference of Ben Danley, who with liis bfbther were striking at Wbitetey with their bludgeons, in alternate blows like black smiths on an anvil. Every body must have known hat Whiteiey had nothing to fear from the enp )le, and the danger of fits being assassinated was •nly from the combined crushing power of tjie m erloper and the principal. It whs the duty of -■very good citizen to have protected Whitely from his unequal combat, and not to have stayed C. C. [Unit y in bia effort to obtain satisfaction, why hen should I have shot this man, who was seek ng redress in preference to one who was commit mg an open outrage ? The brothers stand alike ;o me socially and in every other respect. But again, if it were my intention to stunt C. C. lUniey or any oue else, why did I not do it as my pistol, Borland says, was levelled and pointed at he cripple's back when he observed it. Yet he tad time to leave bis chair where he was engaged ii '.-uiiM.csBiiun nun i'r. rope a mi approacu me Voni behind, se.ze me and wrest the pistol from mv land. This is s fabrication too feeble to gull the unsuspecting. Why, who will pretend to say with a pistol rocked and pointed at auy man, that ft had lutendcd to shoot him I could not have lone so before any one could have prevented me.' [ could bare shot half a dozen times before B r and could have reached tne. Ho»v ridiculous and nonsensical then is this charge against rue. Even he author of it knows it to lie faise, and if there -i any shame in hun he must blush for the injury ic has attempted to indict upon me. I cannot but relieve that Danley notwithstanding his associa ion has some confused sense of justice left, and Has known ine too well and too long to think for i moment that I could commit ao Lasean act—but is the sworn instrument of Borland, he could not ■ void the penalty, and sharing with his leader the gnotmuies which attach to him for the outrages he • as committed. It will be teen that I have defended myself from ibis charge only upon the e. idciiee offered by llor and himself, while i could easily have obtained tertificates from ten or twelve gentlemen who sere present and observed me closely, that / ntt r it ung time rutted my pittol, but as the matter will indergo a judicial investigation 1 did not deem it voprr to accept oroblain such certificates. The »ublic in due lime shall be put in full possession >f testimony before the ifturts. The coolness with which the Senator declares hat he knew nothing of the cowardly blow from Jill Danley which rendered me lifeless fur a time, s as disgusting as it is uutrue. Borland had dis inned me and 1 had just risen from the ground lot two feet from him when the unseen club fell ipon me, an fit erne hy DorlanJ'a inr.tttim. This till Danley admits himsi If, and has asserted that forlaud s words alone induced him to strike me. le first siole up behind, disarmed and prostrated ne, and then induced the bully of tbe crowd to nurdw me if possible. He no doubt thought the leed was djne, and hurried off to see that White ey was disposed of and to cheer on the Hanleys' villi shouts of kill the d—d rascal! kill him I As men like- HorianJ are supposed, in commiung ;iolenee, U> have aome motive, we will tell what tetuated him to enter into the conflict. It was Ins; lu the last congressional electron Senator Borland, imagining fcis political strength through he State much greater than it really was, con ‘lulled that he could give Preston sufficient aid to -eat the nominee of the democratic convention— hereby not only showing himself a giant among he p>-o|tle, but he would have the satisfaction of evenging himself upon a gentleman whom he both ears and hates. He immediately pitted himself igainst Cut. Johnson, and threw obstacle* and ■mbarrassments of every kind in his way: but it vaa of no avail—Johnson was triumphantly elect 'd, and Borland quitted the canvass embittered and noctified, sensible that lna mushroom popularity, ilready on the wand, was precipitated beyond re overy by his apostacy. The Banner had already 'ommrnced ita strict urea upon his disorganizing ourse, and the treason which it exposed had a nanifest effect upon the political prospects of the k-nator. He determined that by some means this mist be quieted, end the first step towards his •lack des gn would be to remit* the present edit irs, from whom nothing but opposition could be xpecled. The difficulty between Whitcley and Janley happened opportunely for hia purposes, ind he directly availeJ himself of it. to concert nth the Hanleys a scheme to put the editors of he Banner carl of the seep; calculating that if, by my luc.y hit, they should be killed or should kill my one, rmn would ensue: the Banner, perhaps, ie crushed, and his treason to the party, hia efforts u elect a whig to Congress, and ail hi* political m* be buried m oblivion. Such wrrethe incentive* which moved the Sea tor tc mingle in the affray. He found tbst Ins riendi wc:e about to be beaten at a game of their wn seeking, and it became ne-.-casary that be horrid come to the rescue and aid in the work of emutition _ But a kind Providence ha*ordered i: otherwise, ml the aame hand which protect* a good dtsno rat in the discharge of hi* duty will as surely tut with just retribution the ap state and traitor.

Tkiiis meanly suicidal but tuaiiitely ridicutonr; we have tfc« metat I* our very midst to produce mote than a ssffkieney of these articles and could Very'easily raise wheat and corn, and kivp the forty thousand dollars per year at borne. The citisens of weatetd Arkansas are far ahead of us in this .expect, they raise their ' own bacon and have now a large surplus of dour ready for exportation. We can not progress until we produce these things for ourselves. At this very moment, instead of imparting we should bs exporting; w« should be sending flodt and bacon abroad to pay for our dry goods and grooerica. If these articles can be purcbaserl in Cincinnati and brought bets at immense cost of freight,&c, and i sold (as is the case) to a considerable profit, we can ! certainly ratal* them here at the seme coat of prod uc- 1 mg as in Ohio where land and labor both aremucb i mure costly, and tbercl y save at least the difference of transportation to the buyer, while the wh le amount expended annually for these articles, will thus be kept circulating at home, making more money and less "hard times.” j Will notour farmers see to this and take mea sures to keep tins money at heme. Internal Improvements. We are glad to see so much spirit and animation i upon the pact of many of our citizens upon the’ subject of Internal Improvements. The people are beginning to see the necessity of some action upon this all important subject, and to know the value of commencing in earnest a system of internal im provements upon a liberal and extensive scale.— | The press throughout the State ia warmly advocat I ing immediate action, and the subject is now seri | ously agitated among the people. The seed has j been sown—we hope etc long that it will bring i forth good fruits. We shall expect to see a full and enthusiastic assemblage of the commissioners ,n the convention in November next. We trust they will ail come prepared to lay aside sectional jealousies and pre ferences, and heartily unite on some plan of im provement which will be of permanent and general benefit to the whole State. House of Rrfn(«. We understand that the Presiding Judge and members of the County Court contemplate making ! an effort to procure a suitable budding for the I reception of the paupers who are it may have to be supported at the expense of the county. This is a very commendable undertaking and we hope will lie completely and successfully carried out. We have long needed some receptacle for j those who are thrown upon the public charity, and | the plan proponrd is not only humane, bnt much | more economical to the county than the present system. In other plates where houses of refuge t for the poor are established, the paupers are so managed as not only to support and clothe them selves, but in many instances the public hospitals, attached to these institution, become sources of ! positive revenue. By bringing together all the j I public paupers, under the charge of a competent I j superintendsnt, such as are c.bie to work contri- j I bule to the inaiideinance of the others. By selert mg a suitable place upon the suburbs of our city, 1 they might be made to raise lor theinaeives must of | their own provisions, and being under the regular superintendence of the county physician, health | aud cleanliness would be always insured. By connecting therewith a public hospital, we 1 would secure a place white the friendless and needy who may be taken sick here, or left here sick, as has often been the case, might be sure of receiving proper medical aid and attention, i Thus two humane purpose's will be attained and ' at the sarin- time much expense will be saved to ! the county. *—— rf The Contest in Mississippi. The recent election of delegates to the the State ! Convention in Mississippi has resulted in the | choice of a majority of those who are termed Union i men. The Unionists of Mississippi do not go so 1 far as to approve the compromise measures, they ’ are, in fact, gimi secessionist*. Although they re- . pudiate the doctrine of secession under existing circumstances, and urge ari otq\uetanee in the* compromise measures fur the sake of Uuion. they . , contend that resistance should follow any tnfrac \ lion of the compromise—while the States right's men of Mississippi are very ultra in their views, as much so as the most ultra South Carolinians; , the Unionists avow very nearly the same aenti inenis expressed by the democracy in Arkansas, and many other States, so that the triumph so i loudly heralded by the whig press, can not be con sidered a victory of whig unionism. j Ths Ccax Paisosisas.—A despatch from Charles ton to the JUrnisviHe Democrat, state* that by re cent arrivals from Havana, it has been ascertained ■ that one hundred and six'y of the American pat- i i riot prisoners have been sent in a government 1' ; transport to Spam. Pour only were liberated (, ,j What will be the flic of those sent before the , i j Spanish Corte* for examination, remains yet to be I known. A long, tedious and painful imprn: u-■ meat /oilowed by a sentence to the galleys is the 1 lightest punishment we can expect from the cruel- ! ty of .Spanish pride and revenge. Of ur mr.iuKo a-r Ktv Wut.—A des patch from Savannah to Philadelphia, dated Sep Umber 6th., says a difficulty had occurred at Key Weston Friday, the 5ih; in consequence of the artiral there of a Spanish vessel. The eitisens endeavored to take and burn her, but she escaped. They then made an attack upon and broke up all the Spanish shops, stores, &c. TT James Fennimore Cooper, the popular nov elist. died at his residence in (,'oopetstown. New York, on the Itth Hist. He was sixty two years old. ILTThe Editor's Drawer of Harper's New Month ly for Septemtcr ha* a good story, (which, by the way, we think, we base met with before.) telling how a western lawyer once addressed a jury in a murder case. “ The tlible ha* it,” said be, “Thou shall 'i<>t kill!

Of one thine, however, I am certain; which is that no two sets of men ever started to coolly and premeditatedly, and I may say. so Itidtcorouaiy, to humbug their immediate constituent*, to humbug tbe country, to hoodwink the smth, anti to bamboozle ench other as the Seward wing anJ the silver gray delegates from the city determined upon doing, or at any rate, at tempting to do, when they left their homes for Sy racuse. ( hate to hazard an opinion on the result of either convention now in session at Syrrctiae, lor .he two reasons that I may be mistaken and that yoa will have received the facts of the ease long before this letter reaches you. I trust, however, that the democratic delegate* from this city, of all view*, will art tip to their instructions and their expressed intentions on leaving home, and, throw ing minor and nonessentia! subjects overboard, act in such a manner as will conduce to tbe ad vancement cf the great fundamental principles which the democratic party of the L’n.ted Stale* was originally organized to carry out. Alt sorts of stories arc afloat about Cuba to-day, noap of which can be retted upon. I am inclined to the opinion that no definite plan for concerted action among the " liberators” has ever been de vised; and that ail the reports about “• thorough and complete organisations'' are the moat verified " gas" imaginable. I have no doubt that Lopes, and many of his coadjutors, were sincerely desir ous of freeing the suppressed Cubans from the yoke of their oppressors: but ali the patriotism that glows in the breast of tbe Beaches, the O' Sullivans, and other leading New York "sympa thizers," was measurable by the prospective value of the bonds of the future Cuban republic. There is a ii-ciiiig 01 ine inicnKti inoignation against me mercenary s|K-culators above mentioned, which may yet vrnt itself in the shape of a mob. The proprietors of the New York Sun are so celebrated , in this city for dsstarkh meanness, that the public is always ready to believe any charge that may tie brought against them; and the public is generally right. It is reported that the I'nited States gov- j eminent is in possession of letters arid documents that wili startle all parties, whenever they shall he published. In the meantime, in the absence i>f all authentic information on the subject, I wilt | take refuge along with father Ritchie, behind the convenient Gallicism—nout rerrons. On Friday .vcning a pretty numerous meeting was held at the Coliseum in Broadway, in behalf j •f the proposed Galway Steamship Company. Mr Emmett was called to the chair, and the list of nee presidents contains some really first-rate men, ! i mo lie whom there figures, rather strangely, Cor nelius Vanderbilt I aay “strangely,” for it was he who bought the North American on the very lay »he was about to sail to Galway, m June last; ' for which “an intelligent Irish editor" somewhere in ttib wilds of Connaught accused him of being j “a base emissary of the brutal Britsh govern ment,” and “ n mere tool of English tyranny to preveut the devel pntent of Erin's resources.’’ | Horace Greeley, .who, by the way, sported a coat which no oue could recognise and a hat which looked comparatively new, aud is reported to have seen bought at Paris,) was the “great gun” of I he meeting. The estimates submitted to prove that it would he a ptyng rro^tet. showed that, withont relying jajjovestment aid for transmitting the mails, and | mtliout including the probabl? increase to arise from freight, the balance of profits would be over ' >31 000 per annum, or over 7 percent on the out lay, which is set down at #400 000. A letter was read from “hut lordship,” Arch bishop Hughes, remarkably mockitiodest and non- j 'uinmitlal in its tone, and toother frun ex sccre ary Walker, full of good wishes and "soft saw ler.” With these two exceptions, none of the " ither great tneA of the nation responded to iheir nutations to be present at the meeting.

We have in a«r p-m*** non. the contrarr entered into tty Mr. White lev for !t«- execute* of the Public Pivoting:. talar nun confess that Wv hare been handling type for Iwch ty-ire yetta to rery tittle purpose, if rrr ate not capable of jurying of the manner, and the entire ivpogTsphr rtreTerr panic alar, of ihexteebtinn of the work which we hare examined, and of the faithful compliance with the contract hr Mr WhiteJey. As a practical printer, we know, and do assert, that the work ia better exeeBled, and at more eeanonneal price* than the xame kind of work haa ever been done t*y any anc, for a number of yeara; awl that we have no fear in jiving it a* our opinion, that no printer in the State can afford to do the same work in the same manner for the Mate price*. We repent, that no disinterested print, r in the State, who know* the business of printing srtSrientiy well to consiitutehim a competent judgei can be procured to do the work for the price* that it has been contracted ft* amt done, by Mr. White ley. There were some, we admit, who bid for the work at much higher prices, and who failed to get lhe rontrret, that now aa>, on account of dump pointmeat, that the work is not well done, and that too murb baa been charged fur its execution. A* evidence that this is untrue, look at the manner in which the public priming has been heretofore executed by the same individuals, and at their charge for the same. How nicely the former »ej* ami the present asrertisna of thine disappointed individuals contrast with each other! it would be far better for some of them to fork over the thou sands of dollars which they juatlyowe the State, bul sternly refuse to pay, than to join in this fora seainit the present State Printer. They had better j act honeat and correct themselves, before they undertake to teach others IWiietuy. Some me of them one* acted as Treasurer of the State, hare] they aettled their account with the Stated W, think they are yet owing the State thousands ol dollars of the peoples' money, to force the payment of which, suit has been instituted against the se curities. and wbu will have lo foot up the dels lea lion, if it is ever footed. . Auditor Danley, it seem*, refuses to pav White- ; ley's lull on account of some eiror m the contract It seems to us that this is not just. The contract, j ibk (if Mr* WKltrvlov ia 01 nvo«rnsu4 .a m ».**.A a.,.. ..d one heretofore approved by acuon of the Legist! : lure, and we believe Mr Danley himself. tf the object, it aeetu* to us, on the part of the Auditor, bad been to deal out even handed juattee to alt alike, be would have pa id the Public Printer according to contract, leaving ail errors and wallets of dispute to be settled by the proper tribunal. This usurpation of power not authorized by Justice and equity, by the Auditor, in holding no to money when he should pay it out, or which amounts to the seine, refusing to audit the account ami issue warrant for the same, will be duly appreciated by the people at the proper time, and in the proper manner, we have every reason to believe. It may be said that aa we are not a party inter ested. that this is none of our business. Hut it is our duty to see th.i pubi.c officers discharge their duties properly, or if they fail to do it, to bold them up to the pubic gaze tor such refusal. White ley is as much of a public officer as Auditor Daniev a, and if «e could conceive him remiss m his duly, we would comletr bun as soon as any one else.— We have nothing to do with the quarrel between these two men. They may make a Kilkenny cat affair of it tor what we care: but we wish to see justice dealt out to all, and ay all. From Hit* £| Dorado I nwn Senator itorluud. A. letter has been shown ua. written by the Hon, Solon Borland, to M. F. Rainey, Esq., of this place, hi which the Major state* that we have to his satisfaction, showed two faces—that we promised hun our support unsolicited, and from Ibe whole tenor of the letter we were to give this right or wrong. We admit that we have written Major Borland letters, approving certain measure! of his in Con ureas, and that we have aiwaya given him our sup- i port fearlessly and faithfully, but when be expects us to continue our support, after he has oetlfviig foisaken the known wishes of the democratic par tv of the -Stale, as he has done in the late Con gressional election, he reckons without bis host ; j for we believe he has. by his course in that elec lion, forfeited ail ciatm on the party, and should by them be held to a strict account for desertion, at a fime when hia support and influence was most needed. t, Thia letter is written to Mr. Rainey with a re- ! quest that he will read it to ns. We are called every thing but a truthful man. Now, although Major Borland is a United Stall* Senator frum ihe State of Arkansas, we must, humble as we are, be permitted to express the belief that our private c ha racier would not suffer by a comparison with , his. The truth is, the Major is only a little goad ed and sore, at the defeat of Irs whig ally, John j j'reston, Jr., by the Hon. It W. Johnson, the democratic nominee, and because we had the man lino** to infirm the democratic party of to* sourse m the matter. We asked a copy of this letter, but Mr. Rainey t said, lie was not authorised to give it, yet tor*.oth, he co Id call us mto hia office, with one other, •tone the door, p ill down the window curiam, and read ii to u*. We attach no blame to Mr. Ramey, lor he lias alwavs been oar fnend. and we have i as yet no evidence to the contraray. The Major, in th.a letter, mixes up religion, ma- i sonry ari l politics. Well, :f he is a member of the church or a mason, we do not inoar it, bnrone i thine we do <»wr, he has stated things e< neern out ns, in hi* letter, which are riot true.
