INDIANAPOLIS, JULY 81. is47.

UE-The Richmond Palladium Of July 10Th devoted
an article to the State Sentinel, which we "laid on
the table, at the time of its reception. We have
since taken it up for first readng; but we do not
think 1t requires further notice than to say that we
are grossly misrepresented particularly on the sub
ject Of the annexation Of Texas The editor was
guilty of the same misrepresentation in the Senate
last winter. We then corrected him, but he seems
determined to persist in his unfairness.
6~TThe wing papers are chuckllng over the fact,
that the late from Europe, showing the most
hlterng prospects Of better than usual crops during
the present harvest. has had tendency lessen the
high prices of grain in Atlantic ports. They of
course sorry that the previous dearh in Europe
had benefited people extent, and still
sorrler TINT liberal tariff system had permitted US
to take the fullest advantage of the extraordinary de-
mand thus created. Time will show that their pres
ent chuckng is based upon the same fallacy as was
their former croakng and predictions of ruin, because
the foreign market was added to the home Market
We do not fear abide the ISSUE any more than We
fear to compare the present reduced prices with those

of the high-Pressure tariff times, when wheat 20
