gfessr, Chabmans-Have our silence and protrscted
submission tn your uRmany aud uncaed ior abuse OF
Hon. Anas Lane, been fat msconsrued as to suppose
that will submit any and every thing you may see

That have for long time noticed with extreme re-
greet your repeated aosons my Father very true
and that often felt like retalisng is equally 50 but
have held my peace. trusting IN TINE 10 set all things
right And preferred this as Il has been plain TO
be SEEM that there already rsbrands enough pass
ing through ranks, without my adding to the flame
w preferred submitting the temporary odIcm,which you
have sven faithfully to draw down upon the name
Their than by retaliation njure that party have worked
long place In the ascendancy. And why you have
conceived it necessary step aside and drag from the
private walks of life one Of oldest ciizensone whose
head is svered with many winters to tsuht with terms
unknown among gentlemen, is To me astonishing.
But all this might have passed unnotced had not been
for an editorial in your paper the 18Th ins and the
August election passed am not disposed to Tor
bear any longer The article which refer is the
commenting extract from the Indiana Blade, on the
subject of The Railroad and our State debt
in part agree with you in the opinions you express,
that but for the rascay robbng Of the Stae by interest

you cauonng the people TO beware of the advice and
counsel of those that in susPendng the dark cloud

Now ask for an explanation. What had Amos Lane
TO do with all this In which scale bis time and
talents thrown What was his advice at the time Why
have you so far dsegsrded all respect for TRUTH to at

had then with proprey you might have cautioned
the people TO beware e his advice, and connected his
name with the epithets you have freely hurled. But
you may spare yourself the time and yourself from
any further trouble in csutoning the people to beware Of
Amos Lane, for you he is candinaie for any
station that would make that advice necessary, he and his
friends will interfere with that disposition you and the
clique made of the offices of the Sste-divde them
among yourselves, and we will help you we have al
ways done-satsfed with the great victory already
we are willing that Others whom hope wor

spared from cowardly abuse from those aided to place
in station.
In conclusion permit to apologize to your readers
the disregard have here shown of the modesy which
should become of my humble station but my desire
to put stop this unfriendy pickering among those
that should act III harmony, is my only excuse.
