CaEENCAsTLE, 2lst. Sept. 1886.
Sir:--1 received your note. dated Goth u!t.
IN which you wished to know of me whether
would support Mr.. Van Buren, for the pres
dency, at the approaching election; and
whether believed his policy, as published in
a letter to the Hon, Sherrod Williams, dated
9th August last, if carried into effect, would
IN any way jeopardize the interests of lnd-
ana. only have to say, that, do believe.
ms election to the presidency would mater-
ally initiate against the interests Of Indiana
for the following reasons: Indiana has en-
parked IN general system Of improvement;
she has created heavy debt-a debt of ten
millions of dollars. The interest Of the DOR.
ton that is expended annually will have to
be paid. And should Indiana not be fortunate
enough to get money to !efray this loan, any
other way, she will have TO tax the people,
which will be burthen.
AS a TREND to the system Of improvement
now going on, was much pleased to see the
Congress Of the United States pass law,
last winter, dividing the surplus revenue
among the several states. That bill will give
to Indiana better than half million Of mo-
Iney--if it is not repealed-which, if Properly
managed, will shield the people from taxa
ton; and will provide means to defray the
expense Of the loan, and give additional crc-
or to the system; and further loans, aud on
better terms, can be effected.
As the doctrine Of tile day appears To he
that the representative Of the people should
obey instructions when they are given. d.
rcct!y, or implied, every vote given to Mar
TIN Van Buren, for President, is also instruct.
ing the delegation in Congress, from this
state I" repeal that act; and the same instruc
tons will be implied throughout the United
States. Mr.. Van Buren, says to Sherrod vii.
liams, in reference to a bill giving to Indiana
almost million Of dollars. and which. il le,
alone, will keep heavy tax Off the pcope:-
- sincerely hope, therefore, that the good
sense and patriotism Of the American people

rary expedient, forced upon the country bv
OF extraordinary circumstances"
30. Mr. Van Buren, has placed the question ,
himself before the people, and clearly shows.
that II he is elected, this species Of legislation
must be stopped; he has made up the issue.
and IT IS for the people to decide. And as
we we know that heavy taxation bears hard
On the people, and particularly on the poor
nan; and knowing, that if we do not get the
money, as is provided for in the distribution
olil, tax VII. have to come upon the people.
Ind that Immediately. As friend TO Inter
,a' Improvement, and one who does no: want
ne people oppressed. ICANNOT CONSIST.
EMILY VOTE FOR Mr.. VAN buren,. a
'eiieving, from his own statements that vote I
or HIM IS virtually repeating the acts giving I
ms money to the States. The act providing e
ne distribution does not take effect till JAM
AIRY next, which will give the next Congress /
n opportunity Of repeating it. Should Mr.. +
an Buren, be elected, this will be its fate. e
Had been friend to Mr.. Van Buren,. G
rior to his communication to Sherrod Will '
ans. the grounds he assumes, in that instru- h
nent, for the government of his Administra- il
ion, would have been, in itself, sufficient to
ave placed me, as a Western man, in oppo-
ltion to hn3-a measure that would give n

ween three and five millions of dollars in one
ear, when all the appropriations made IN d
hese States for the last fifteen years, vervl
title exceeds that amount. Then see, IN the I
LIST fifteen years, the great amount these 9
ta;es have paid for lands, revenue &c. not "a
