Let the people look at this, and form their esti
mate of the man, capable of such transaction the
above letter discoses Let them say whether public
officer of government to observe and enforce the
law, shall prove himself capable of the most fragrant
violations of it, both against the persons and property
ofothers, and yet escape public indignation.
In our paper of to-day will be found another commu-
nicaton in relation to the affair between Gov REYNOLDS
and Mr. Owen-if, indeed, Gov. r. has taken SO much
notice of the effort of the latter gentleman to disa6e
the public mind, as to make the subject Of our commu.
nication question between two This matter is be-
ginning to be very well understood the publc mind'
fast being disadusedin way, too not very much to
the credit of Mr.. Owen, nor much in confirmation of
the truth of his disa6uspe communication. The opin
ion expressed in the Governors address, so far from be-
ing grauous, as the agent at Chicago represents it.
proves to be founded upon data the correct and
substantial upon facts too which have led others ia
form and express the opinion and notwithstand
ing Mr. OWENS communication, and his watch!ul care
over the people Of his charge, which we doubt not has
been such becomes faithful public servant, we verv
much question: whether the Gov orhs friends have vet
seen any very strong reasons for changing their opinion
We know nothing of Mr.. Owen, more than we learn
from his noted disa6ase Of the public and cannot fuv
comprehend, perhaps the sourcesof his prvate erie ~
but suspicion may well be awakened when public men
are seen to travel far of their poper sphere as we
imagine he has done, to make utrovoked attacks nm
on Others in the discharge of their appropriate duties
and we should not be surprised the moving snr;nr If
Mr. os late TRADE against the Governor should nrove
to be, not so much desire to vini1cae the LOYALTY f
the fotawatamies, disposition to CRAFTY private
animosities. o' p
The communication alluded TO, above. is from a
source entitled to confidence; the writer was volnn
teer IN either campaign and from the rank he held
very favorable opportunities for obtaining nfor
ina'ioh' Ills statements are without doubt correct
