From the Corre1 d Enquire.
The Loco-Foco candidate for Lieut. Governor hss
been compelled by the CRsyra.ises in the ranks OF our
opponents 70 decline The AHtiR1ss no1niosoSa, aHa
yet the Wing candidate for Governor ook' 70 mat no
nation for success.
a5dison Cardosr has accepted the nomination Tor
Lien, Governor but repudiates al connection With ne
Ant-aenters
To show how grossly al the above with many
other papers have misrepresented Mr. Gardner, IN
order TO barb an arrow aimed at John Young and
the Wing Cause, re publish Mr.. g.. letter entire,
which none OF those papers have done 1t IS as
follows:

Is here one word repudia,ine or declining all
connection with the AntiRenters Nothing like
1T The letter is cunningly worded to make show
of frankness at the smallest possible risk. But II
admits the reality OF the grievances complained Of
US the uIlO me PibCtiShVhitH VI W.
recnng them by Legislative action 1t insinuates
tina. the whole Loco Foco party are good enough
Anti Renters for all practical purposes and, so far
from 'repudiatins Ambient votes for himself 1t
virtually begs them for Cato into the bargain.
Such is the real drift of the letter grossly misreP
resented by the enemies of Mr.. Young and the
Wing cause. We have no hope that they will do
justice in the premises
THAT the Courier should say what 1t does will
surprise no one Mr. Young In no manner sought
the Anti. Rent nomination. twas unexpected and
undesired by thevery men who are now accused Of
having procured it for him. About one-third OF the
Convention opposed and protested against it And
we shall be greatly disappointed if many Wings
are silly enough to vote against their own candidate
merely because some others will vote for him.
