The following extracts OF lettT, dated The
10Th instant, from an old and highly respecia-
bic citizen of Indiana, whose mans OF inior-
nation are ample, and whose statements are
every way entitled 10 confidence, will show the
present condition Of that Stae relative TO the
Presidential election.
"Indiana is 10 say the least it, very deoateaoe
field, and the chances of M. Clay carrying the
State against MIR. Van Buren, are considered about
equal My opinion is that Ola! would beat him' Out
il would be doubtful contest involving all the UNI
certaihties of the past"
SO much for the contest between those two
gentlemen. In another pat OF Ibis letter he
says:
'Cass would beat Mr.. Clay some 10000 votes and
if the Democrats would take Pseside,t Tyler up, in
good faith he would do quite as well if not better"

copying The resolution, said TO have been passed
AT Albany. referred 10 yesterday, took occasion
TO comment on il TO some extent, ana IN me
course of lis remarks entered somewhat INTO
the political history Of MIR. Tyler. II appears
from the showing of the In,elligencer, and II is
sustained by documentary evidence, II the acts
of Mr. Tyler be compared with those OF the
gentlemen whom the Globe is graciously pleased
10 permit the party to recognise as Demo
Gratis. there is not one of them who has been so
consistent and uniform a Democrat Of the Jefier-
sonian school.
We do not allude TO these facts, nor quote
the InlelIigencer 10 induce any portion OF the
Democratic party to embrace Mr.. Tyler as their
leader hut merely 10 show, by their own con-
fession, that The Wings supported an unadulte-
rated Democrat in 1910, knowing him TO Re so,
and that they have since charged him with
treachery because he would not abandon his
principles.

the Intelligence, and comments on it as fol-

lutions. He said that number VI members oil BON

such letters and that could do with more propr'-

compromise act, still further reduced and
modified them. The act which passed at
the Extra Session Of lS4l. which sup
ported, was confined to the free articles

the act of 1912 passed. Generally, the
duties which it imposed, are lower than
those in the act of 1892 And without in

item of this last tariff. | would say, that
think the provisions, in the main, are wise
and proper If there be any excuses OF
defects in it, (of which ! have not the
means of judging) they ought TO be cor.

Ny opinion, that there is no danger
hereafter of High Tariff, is founded or
the gratifying fact, that our manufactures
have now taken deeper root. In their IN
fancy they needed greater measures o
protection; but as they grow and advance
they acquire strength and stability, and
consequently, will require less protection
Even now. some branches of them are abl
