VEVAY, Ind Sept. "a 1S45.
MEssRs. CHAPNANs--I much panied to the
troveses going against you and many leading and dis
inguished Democrats in Indiana through the columns of
such papers the Political Beacon, published by Major
John p. Dunn at Lawrenceburgh.
1t does appear that the Majors is the
height of mprudence and folly, at time when the De-
mocracy Of Indiana have need OF Union ard harmony
sustain themselves after the succession of victories which
they have achieved in ls43 IA AS and which they would
continue to achieve for succession Of years. if such inds
the Major and perhaps others in and about
the seat of Government would be content that the party
majority Of the party, should select the who
to fill the various Offices and stations of honor and trust
though their avores particular friends they
themselves should be s0peceded and they have to bde
their time. Ii does appear TO that papers
in the Democratic ranks, TO pursue the of the
Major would do harm to the party than twenty, yea
hundred of the most rabid Federal papers could in
century.
But feel assured Of one thingthat is that the Demo-
in the Legislature this winter will select good and
true Democrat u. 5. Senator--no Of your milk
and water politicians, who would sacrifice party and prin
cipe, to attain his end
In 843 Major Dunn in his Beacon said not a word to
reute the many ISLANDERS and lies with which the Federal
papers eemed against Whitcomb and Bright he assert
ed for fear of interfering with the local question in Dear
born county. But his towards those two dis
inguished champions of the Democratic since hen
has been any thing but coureous such show that
he friendly TO them l. for one conclude that would
have been very hard matter to have procured his
vices in the Wing ranks that time. In this may
but such my opinion from the he has taken.
For my part if had vote in the Legislature
this winter for u 3. Senator should without any nstruc
from the party of my county give that for James
Whitcomb; and If should be Delegate in the Conven-
