"1hose Ahopition Ra,pots,, Ap,;,

Welearneda fact or two last week abou,
the frauds practiced through the Hawk
Eye influence on the liberty votes and
voter, at the late election, which sets it IN
light worse than we were aware Of when
we exposed it.
First. Mr.. Harlan wrote Mr.. Howe,
very wisely and disinterestedly informing
him that the loco tocos had projected o
scheme TO defsnt his election, and brought
out his (.Nr. Ho,oe's) name as a candidate,
desiring he would write to various
places, informing the abolitionists that he
was not a candidate. This he declined do
ing.
Second. A gentleman waited on him
from Burlington, informing him that the
locos (of Burlington, if we remember
right had printed and were circulating
over the state, tickets with his name as
candidate, and desiring him to state in
writing, that he was not.
Third. Under the influence of this
falsehood, Mr.. H. consented to write the
note, which appeared in the Hawk-Eye;
but says. had he had any knowledge, that
his liberty friends were using his name,
(though he would have preferred not to
be run) he would not have declined or
written the note he did.
And finally, that he never authorized
The publication Of his note, nor dreamed Of
It's being circulated over the State in
handful, as it was by Dea. edwards.
Dea., what do you mean by such strate-
gy! And then, in order to shield your
self from the condemnation your acts so
richly merit, will you set up the cry of
fraud by others, and charge them with
forgery" and with publishing ''bastard
tickets" when you know they have done
nothing but what they had every conceiva-
bic moral and legal right to do? and only
what was honest and honorable. Do YOU
not know such tricks cannot be practiced
by honest men?-Iowa Freeman.

From the Ohio Statesman.l
Gen. Pillow.
Has Wanderers The Leonidas Letter
Who 7hsrnfie,. Nrn;l.d

Has Nanderers- The Leonidds Letter
Wig Thunder SPOILED.
During the progress of the investigation
by the Court Of Inquiry in the case of
Gen. Pillow, strong efforts were made to
prove the interlienations in the celebrated
Leonidas letter to be made in the hand
writing ofGen. Pillow. Mr.. Trist, under
oath, said that he was well acquainted
with Gen. Pillows writing, and he be-
lieved that Pillow made the interlineations.
On this evidence, the Wing press were
loud in their censure, and although Major
Burns, (the author of the letter,) Gen.
Cadwallader, Maj. Polk, Col. Duncan and
others, equally, if not better acquainted
with the writing. swore that they did not
believe the writing to be Gen. Pillows,
yet the Federal press charged itas proven,
and were bitter in their invective against
Pillow for correcting letter written in
his own praise. The Editor Of the New
Orleans Delta has at length put quietus
to this Wing thunder, from the noise of
which, SO much political capital was ex-
pected. What will Whiggery now do for
foundation upon which to base infamous
charges against brave officer, battling for
his country in Mexico?
From the New Orleans Delta of the nth.
"GES. PlLLow.-We consider it due to
Gen. Pillow to correct a misapprehension
which seems to have possessed Gen.
Scott and Mr.. Trist, in regard to the in
|terlineations in the Leonidas letter, known
as No. 5 in the charges. These inter-
lineations were made by the editor of this
paper, in the exercise of the prerogative
which all editors claim and exercise, of
correcting and improving the language of
anonymous communications. The inter.
lineations did not essentially after or affect
the substance of the narrative, but some
what improved it, according to our judg-
ment. We think it highly probable, from
the direct testimony, as well as from other
circumstances, that the letter No. 8. or
the real Leonidas letter was written with
out the cognizance or participation Of G en-.
Pillow. OF the letter No. l, which is
certainly very similar to Leonidas, we
know nothing. But having in our posses
sion proof Of Gen. Pillows innocence in
regard to the interlineations in the Leoni-
ias letter, we think it our duty to make
the statement we have made.'
