JAGEs G. BENNETT, Esq
Being an occasional reader Of your valuable paper,
and finding TO my surprise that you have no cores
pondent in this city, have concluded 10 give you a
sketch of matters and things in general, in this good
ly capital of, what Ohoans CALL the third State of
the Union If you publish this you may take it for
granted that shall trouble you again-and if not,
OF course will take il for granted you do not want
correspondent or if you do, that my letter will not
suit.
In this CITY, in the way of politics. we have four
newspapcrs-the organs of many different parties
First in talen, and responsibility, comes the States
| man, the organ OF the Ohio Democracy, edited by
| Col. Medary. Next; the Old School Republican,
the organ OF the administration, edited by DR.. Miller
! brother-in-law of Tyler 90" The Journal, pub
llshed by Charles Scott and edited, ii is said, by
| Syracuse adventurer by the name of " w. Smith,
is the organ of what the Republican calls the eigy-
burning wings; and last though In talent not least
the Columbus Freeman, by Capt. Dufiey organ-ises
for the Abolltionsts.
The Journal is losing its circulation, and what is
It's loss is clear gain 10 the Republican OF course
they have war to the knife. Being neither TYLER
nor Clay man, yet a neutral, of course enjoy
the sport amazingly. DR.. Miller announced his in
cnton, some weeks since, OF visiting his relatives in
Virginia His lady, | am informed has not seen the
home OF her youth Tor some fifteen years. During
| the afternoon preceding the Dr's departure the
Journal came out and, an on dit" stated that
| DR.. Miller going 10 France and would not re-
| turn, and that much would be- saved in the way of
| house rent and marlIe money by some of our ct-
| zens. This insnuaiion startled some of the creditors
of DR. Miller-others urged on by the Clay fac
ton, and caplases were sued out, (and one too by
a brother deacon OF the same church. and the DR.
arrested some FIVE or SIX times in half many hours
lie was enabled to give security, and thus to frus-
trate the kind and charitable intentions OF his perse-
cuors, who were determined, if possible, TO disgrace
and keep him and his family from pursuing their
journey. This was truly contemplate, and is men
toned 10 show the two-penny and vindctive feel
ings existing towards all the prominent friends of
Mr.. Tyler by that portion of the wing party which
support Mr.. Clay. The. Old school Republican
threatens an exposure of the whole affair, giving
names, &c, and will doubtless show up these gen
tlemen in their naked deformity
On the fourth OF July great dongs are expected in
Columbus The Tyler State Convention will meet
Clayton expects to asonish the natives with an as
cent in his balloon. a grand State military en-
campment will be held and see by the papers that
State Convention of Home Lcaguers will meet
The way will have fun, will be caution to the
temperance cause.
BY the bye speaking of Home Leagues, reminds
me that one was formed IN this city during the last
winter and enrolled among its members all the

time the excitement al the highest the editor of
the Statesman, and some two or three other demo-
Gratis and all OF whom oppose tariff for protection,
made their appearance In the streets, arrayed i'm

cam. DER the spirit of the Home Leaguers This
was carrying out what they had resolved to do;
and then, for the first time, did the fops find out
that they must renounce their theories or carry
them into practice. They wisely resolved that Ohio
leans gold rings, watch guards, &c. would not look
well together, and the columbus CITY Home
League" has not met since. So passed the glory of
this humbug. Jeans called the "deino-
cratic cut UNDER and the way the high tariff men
arc bored about their bantlng, is ways slow.
