The Wing papers sill keep up their fir
uron TIC Mclhodi.is. whom they charge as q
principal cause Of their defeat. II Is singu-
lar they have not sense enough 10 take the ad
vice Of the Indiana Journal. and let the mat
ter drop where It j.. That would certainly
be the most prudent course Tor them and their
parry. They know they falsely charge the
Mcthodists. when they intimate that the lat
ter did any thing more than exercise thcir
common right Of cil;z .nsiip. The Metho-
disls rs a BODY did not thruss Themselves into
the political arena, though the Wig
leaders attempted. by tie circulars OF
their Safe Central Committee and other
means, to draw them into It. That many Of
them voted for the democratic candidates, is
true. and some Of these 10 doubt were wings:
bu- that there was any Ting lie 4 general
understanding or organization for that pur-
pose. we most cnpha;ically deny. and the re-
turn ofthc votes for Governor and Congress
men will fully sustain our denial. To the
Wig members o. ;s communion w..o did
vote for cur candidate, We tender cur hear
y thanks. Their vo,cs will help to redeem
the State from the abuses which have been
the cause Of is prostration and bankruptcy.
and we firmly believe they viii never have
cause 20 regret that they assisted in this good
work. We began tbs paragraph, however,

fence of the Mcthodi,'s against thc im.uta-
tons alluded 10, as Tor that Of noticing thc
specific charges rc-cchocd by the Ncvca,tle

thority ofanotilcr, equally rabid and abusive.
