Really, reader, the above, letter of
Messrs A. St. Clair and Jonathan Nc
Carly, together with the petition Of
Marinus Willet, Postmaster Of Rush
Co." r. Breckenridge, and Ross
Smiley, goes whole bars length far
Their and is the cap sheaf Of all docu-
ments in favor of prescription for opin-
ions sake, that | have ever seen emma
ting from any other person in this quar-
ter of the country.
The object and meaning are so glar-
ingly expressed in the face of this pa.
per, that it needs no comment to cause
It and its authors to be helduP to pub
lie gaze, and to receive the we'll meri-
ted rebuue Of every friend to our re-
publican institutions.
One more remark by way Of expla-
nation, and l will dismiss these would
be dictators of prescription in Indiana.
They all have shared in the "spoils
Of victory dealt out SO Law ishly by
Gen. Jacksop's administration.
Mr.. st. Clair is Receiver Of public
moneys in the land Office, at Indiana
polls, Gen. McCarty did then, and has
since held the same Office at Wayne.
Marinus Willet was Post Master Of
crush Coz r. Breckenridge, Regis
ter ofthe land Office at Fort Wayne,
and SISTERS Smiley too had the place
of Register Of the land Office at Jeffer
sonville rendered to him; but he, pro-
badly because the boon was not so
rich as he deserved forhis disinterested
patriotism, did not accept, and by some
slight of hand process or other, trans
ferred his appointment over to one Of
the faithful.
The artifice Of the jackson party in
this district to put down the party ques-
ton, is covered with too flimsey veil
it will be unmasked before the first
Monday IN August. "They cry peace
peace, when there is no peace" The
Siren Song Of mo question" may be
sung, but listen not. National Republi-
can, to the notes of its melody.
Listen for a moment to the language
ofthe accredited Argus" the Indiana
Democrat, printed at Indianapolis,
speaking Of the Congressional eIectio"
says, speaking Of the Seventh Congress
sional District-"We are glad to learn
by the last papers that the candidates
friendly to the administration have
consented to refer their claims to a
convention which will meet on the
4th ofJuly. We may be forgiven for
calling the attention of our democratic
friends in the I'd district to this ex-
ample. In the 9Th district the contest
will be warm aud interesting.
Gen. .McCarty and Mr.. Smith are we'll
able to sshold their arm''-fortunately
the democratic candidate is free from
the imputation Of caucus manage
ment."
Well done, boys! but take care or
your gun will kick you over. 1t is
good doctrine to preach in the 9TH and
I'd districts. Caucus oifsome Of your
candidates in those districts where you
are conscious of your own strength
and where there are two or three Jack
son candidates ana only one Of the op-
position in the feld--but forsooth, IN
region Of '<Old Wayne" where the
current bears heaviest, on the other
side, the doctrine which is recommend
ed in the eth and I'd districts, will not
hold good.

Post Master General to have Mr.. Hen
