Hon. Robert Dale owen.

We took the liberty two or three weeks ago, IN
commenting on paragraph from the Brookville
Democrat to say in behalf of Mr.. OWEN, that he
never, for the sake of political preferment, would
violate his allegiance to just party discipline in the
slightest degree whatever. Our knowledge Of his
high sense of personal honor, well intimate
acquaintance with his past political character, was to
US a sufficient guaranty for speaking did. But
as the Lawrenceburgh Beacon, and perhaps some of
Its friends, may not deem our declarations as of any
weight, take the additional liberty quote few
sentences from letters recently written us by Mr.
Owen, though they were not intended by him for
publication.
before he had our comments on the Beacon's use
of his name, he says:
IS should have written to you at once on receipt of
the Lawrenceburgh Beacon that first mentioned my
name for U. s. SENATOR but for a severe domestic
afillctlon, finally terminating in DEATH and which
untitled my mind for season, for all attention to
business
81 desire no Office at the expense of the union of
the party; and If cannot become Senator with the
consent and good will o: those who have borne the
burden and heat of the day. am content to remain
as | am.
81 have always held it 1.-THE Senatorial ofce to be
as honorable any other Office, not excepting in
the cabinet and in which almost all the great
regulations of our country have been made. If our
friends on consultation, see fit to place my name
before the Legislature, the choice in viii
not deny, that it will be to me source of high
qualification. But, on TIE other hand, 1 hereby
authorize you the majority Of the Democratic
members prefer another name, and IN case any of the
minority StiH press my claims, TO say for me, that
hold him true friend of mine, lcho triH do so.
AcquieScence, at once and Nth frank good tciH IN the
decision Of regular caucus, hold to be tie duty Of
a true Democrat
g trust this matter to you and shall probably not
write TO any one else on the subject"
In a subsequent letter, dated Sept 10, Mr.. Owen
says further.
Since last wrote you, have received the Senti-
mel of the 4th inst Sept) in which you quote, and
comment on, the Brookvle Democrats article on tie
Beacon's nomination.
You viii have perceived by my last, that when
you endorsed for me, that would be the last in
the State to g violate my allegiance to Just party
discipline, your confidence not misplaced"
These extracts we think will be quite enough to
satisfy every one as to the course which Mr.. Owen
will pursue this subject And we think we cannot
be mistaken i'll the belief that that part of Mr.
Ovens letter which have printed i'll italics will
be recognized the only proper and safe rule for the
selection of candidate and which should, and
will be- adopted and adhered TO by the representatives
of the people, let the consequences be what they may

communication in the United States Journal, I'M
der the above caption, presents the of our dis
tinguished fellow-citizen, the Hon. j. W. Davis, n,

the following manner. se-----a-s -s'---
sis it not due to the West that the Democracy of

its candidate! This question answered afrmatvel}
who, among all her talented representatives stands
more conspicuous than JOHN w. DAVIS, of Indiana I!
His Legislative experience is not of day, but of
years-as parliamentarian no man stands higher,
uniting to natural and acquired abilities of high
der, the most untring industry, and much practical
experience; as presiding officer, he cannot fail to
satisfy the House, should he be placed in the Speak
er's chair.
As one of the Democratic leaders in the late cleo
ton one did more efectual service than DIR. Davis,
and his written pledge, publicly made, that Indiana
would give her vote to Polk and Dallas was glorious
ly redeemed his district has shown Its appreciation
of his faithful services and cannot but hope the next
House of Representatives will place HIM In the high
position for which his urbane and gentlemanly de-
pertinent his perfect regard for right, his devotion TO
republican principles, and his ready business talents
well capacitate him. Firmly, most firmly has he
stood up all the principles of the democratic party
''unarnted with fear, alseduced by hope, un6ought
by promise" On erery rital question which has agi
tated the political waters he has bated sernlY and
/
mined to sink or swim in the good with which,
from his youth, he has ever been connected"
We are obliged to the correspondent of our metro
politian contemporary for this expression in favor Of
Dr. Davis, and assure him that he has not said too
much The great north west was not ''consdered
of" in the selection of cabinet, and, without the
slightest disposition to grumbe, think it quite le
gitimate and in good taste to say that the Speaker

CHAPMAN'S ROOSTER.

TThe State Journal asks if it did not occur to us,
when giving sketch of Judge Morrison, that the
four directors the part of the State, who are 'a
modern democrats" are also in favor of extending
the privileges Of the Bank, as well as the Judge.
WE'LL it DID! But that fact did not then and will
not hereafter, deter US in the least from conteDding
against dny extension of the privileges Of the Bank,
in any way whatever. 1t has too many special prvi
leges already, and the true interests of the people
would dictate curtailment, instead of an enlarge
ment of them As for Bank Democrats, we would
not give pinch ofsnuf for the difference in princi-
pie between them and avowed wings.
The Journal further suggests that we should give a
'pen and ink sketch of Judge Wick, as well as of
some other politicians. We do not see that there is
any particular for this, why the Journal
should alude TO him in connection with the old Demo-
cratic "Junto." The Journal certainly knows that
he does not pull in their traces for it knows that they
did all they could to defeat his nomination for Con-
gress. 1t is true the Judge wing, at least
nominally, as most lawyers are; does he attempt
conceal the fact from the people. On the contrary
Re honestly admits it, and gives the reasons, and very
good reasons they are too, why he discarded whig-
gerry and embraced the rue faith In this respect, il
we are correctly Informed, he stands in a much bet
position than the Editor of the Journal does fol
he changed from the true faith to the false from the
cause of MAN to that of MONEY! change which, tc
cious than those of Judge Wick. politician who
has changed sides once twice HIMSELF ought to be
careful how he twits others for the same thing.

in Indiana, interested in the State Bank and who do
possess the confidence of the party, about to
get up paper at Indianapolis to advocate the cleo
ton of bank TO the u s. Senate; and also to
support Mr.. Cass for President. The Indiana papers
generally, so fur as we can ascertain are decidedly
hostile to this move-and call upon Messrs. Chapman
to .'keep stiff upper lip" Several attempts have
been made to get the Messrs Chapman TO desert their
political integrity and high standing in the democrat
ic party, for position which could ouly receive the
appreciation Of schemers and corruptionsts; but all
would not do Nov, however, attempt is made to
force them into the 'traces" So far they have reso-
