THREATENED DISCLOSURES.

JAMES WHITE, Esq, Of Lafayette, one of
the defeated candidates for President of the
State Bank, has published an article in the
Indiana Eagle, which concludes as follows
81 believe it was generally admitted up to
within three or four days of the election, that
was the choice of a majority of my party !;
but throughsthe influence of Gov. Whitcomb
sudden change took place, at which time,
1t was too late to undertake to counteract the
effect of plan which had already done its
work From the fact that was treated with
disrespect by the Governor, on more than
one occasion, was aware of his preference,
and though was satisfied his neglect of me
was intended TO have bearing upon the cleo
ton. hoped he would not consider the en-
ployment of more certain means necessary.
know not the means which were used to
bring about my defeat; but of one thing
am very confident, that if the Governor has
a reason for his course, applicable to me,
he does not possess the frlnnes to express
it,
1t is my intention as soon as get leisure,
to give my understanding of the newly or
ganised Democratic junto at the Capitol, in
which shall touch this subject again, and
bring in the names of others above alluded
to, which shall be compelled to do in order
to show their designs upon the finances of
the State, and the corrupt influences which
bind them together.
81 regret difficulty of this kind as much
as any one can, but never have submitted
TO injustice from my political enemies, and
feel much less disposed 10 endure bad
treatment from my friends. | have rights
as we'll as others, and those who choose to
condemn my course, and think they can pro-
fit by taking opposite ground, are at liberty

son Banner that the Locofoco Electors have
decided upon new plan of operations, and
we warn the honest yeomanry of the State

ner says that the locofoco candidates are not
to address the people from the rostrum ex-
cept in few places; but they are to call
privately upon every family having voter in
it in the whole State; and in case they can
not do this in person, they are empowered to
appoint any number of contingent or assis-
tant Electors, whose duty and object will be
TO get as many men as possible to pledge
themselves to vote the locofoco ticket
They will take breakfast with one, dine with
another, and sup and lodge with third

LET 1T BE REMEMBERED, That when Mr..
Van Buren, came into office, he found the
country prosperous and happy" The national
debt paid off, and surplus in the Treasury.
That, during his Administration, he paid no
public debt-made no internal Improvements
spent one hundred and thirty millions of
dollars-left the Government bankrupt! the
currency destroyed! the people in distress
and ruin! and public debt of seven millions
Of dollars. And let it be remembered that
this man is now before the people forreelec-

these things.

means ofbringing about so great good
moreover, in addition 70 this great augmen-
tation of The public resources, the increased
value ofthe present taxable property along
the line OF the Canal, claims also to be duly
considered. Every acre of improved lands
within ten or twenty miles of the Canal, on
either side, must, from the increased facil-
lies of access and transportation, be doubled
in value, production will be increased three
fold, and the commercial wealth largely multi

extremilies. The total value of the taxable

to show from The increased values ofproper-

Richard Packenham, the newly appointed

the British Government to negotiate set

that our Representative made his GREAT

candidly admits that the Wing Electoral

In this district they are about even; in No.

that our Democratic friends may be aware of
the talent we have got to contend with. The
appointment of Judge Read was unfortun-
ate. We have none but good feelings to-
ward him, but truth compels US to speak as
we do We would do better with General
Howard alone, for he is a host of himself,
