That Letter.

Our neighbor the Journal has not felt disposed to
accede request, that it would publish the letter
of its editor General Taylor, which elected the reply
recently published. The Goshen Democrat, however,
appears to have got possession of copy of Mr. DIS
letter. and presents it follows. Does the Journal
admit the genuineness Of this copy!
The Editor of The Indiana State Journal to General
Taylor.
INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. l5, lS4S.
DEAR GENERAL:-I have the honor, as you no
doubt aware of occupying the exalted position Of ed
tor Of the Indiana State Journal, the organ of the
whig party of the State, from which all the country
presses derive their cue with the exception of that
incorrigble old sinner, Major Semans, of the Tippe-
canoe Journal, and the editor of by 9 sheet in
BrookvIle, unknown 10 fame. but whose is said
to be Clarkson. From my long intimacy with the
working Of the wires of our party, as well from
the disastrous result Of the election of 1644 have
learned this important lesson that available cand
date is worth many embodiments stand this
side of Araham's bosom.
The fact is, Henry Clay never did carry Indiana.
and never can. admire the splendor of his talents,
his superhuman intellect and his untiring devotion
to his country, but with such leader the State is
lost, and the State printing gone TO the devil have
therefore hosted your for President at my mast
head our most available candidate, and have as
sured the Abotonists of the State that your large
plantations entirely conducted by white aborers
and that no smell of wool is found upon their per-
sons.
There il little matter, however, which it is ne
cessary you should straighten up. | mean your re-
port Of the battle Of Buena VISTA In which it is
ceIved you did serious injustice to the Second Regi-
ment Of Indiana Volunteers. Ii will be necessary
for you to smooth over this affair somewhat either by
charging the difficulty to the cowardice misman-
agement Of the officers, or the Hoosiers will lay you
cold wedge. If you can manage to give Joe
Lane side wiper, it well help Us amazingly. You
must keep these things to yourself, General, for you
know the true policy is to lie low for black ducks
and he long for the Presidency. God and Liberty
Please accept assurances Of my distinguished con
sideration- JOHANNES, &C.

Foul Play i'm the WING Ranks.

We once heard OF a physician who took has
medicine and died The representation of the JOHN
DoNKEY-the whig party between two bundles OF
hay-Clay and Taylor, is very well exposed in the
following, from the Cincinnati Atlas.
ANOTHER GREAT FRAUD CONTEMPLATED.
WHIGS LOOK OUT!!
In 1894 Mr.. Clay lost the electoral votes of Louis
lana, North Carolina and New York in part by
certed combination among his opponents. Bat for
this he would have been Of those candidates
turned to the House of Representatives, and pro-
badly would have been elected President instead Of
Mr.. Adams.
In 1910, he the first choice of nine-tenths Of
the wings in America, and if he had been nominated
at the Harrisburg Convention, all now admit he
would have been elected by triumphant majority.
But by means and combinations well understood by
those who were present at that convention he de-
feated. The result Gen. Harrison for one month
and John Tyler, an "AvAILABLE" candidate, for the
following three years and eleven months President
of the United States.
In 1874, he received by many thousands the argest
popular vote in every State in the Union, given
before to any human being, and yet by the basest
frauds in Neto York, Pennsylvania, Georgia and
Louisiana, he lost all those States whereas, the vote
of New York alone would have elected him.
To all these repeated outrages he and his friends
have submitted without murmur, and yet his ene-
mics are not satisfied
During the recent session of the Whig State Con-
vention in Richmond Virginia, palpable, wlful
he telegraphed from Louisville, Kentucky. and
another, from Raleigh, North Carolina, both meeting
in Richmond, and were there announced by distn-
guished member of that Convention, with an addi-
tional to the state of feeling in the Kentucky
Legislature, against Mr.. Clay; by which that con-
vention induced to take proceedings which Hon.
John M. Bolts AYERS would not have been taken had
the truth been told
All this is not enough. deliberate purpose has
been formed at Washington by certain guerrilla poll
ticans of both pares--regardless of principle and
looking for power, place and plumber, to pack the
whig convention at Philadelphia on the 7th of june
against Henry Clay Yes, Wing Convention,
against the great leader and head of the whig party
who has done more for the cause, and the country
than the number of all his enemies could
do, they to live a thousand yeurs. Circulars
are being written for this purpose through the Loco
foco States. and member of Congress from Ken
lucky, has dared TO make the attempt upon old Ken
tucky-he true hearted faithful Banner State Of whg-
gerry in 1874. If denied, refer to tho whg dele
gates and substitutes appointed to the National
Convention. Has not each one Of them received
such a letter from a whig member of Congress, whose
first official act last winter 10 abandon his post
in the House and desert has party-by which means
a true whig candidate for Postmaster defeated,
and rabid Locofoco elected by majority of one.

GEN. TAYLoR's PosTAGE.-We find the following
In the New Orleans Picayune:
''We are informed that every mail that reaches
Baton Rouge, from every quarter, is filed with let
ters to Gen. Taylor. So overwhelmed is the old
hero by his correspondence, that it Is not only a
hercuean labor read IT, but his postage account is
actually eating into his substance Now, nine out of
ten of the letters which the General receives concern
the writers more than they do him and for each one
TO pay the postage upon his epistles would be a
slight tax upon the luxury of correspondence, whilst
the aggregate amount is severe assessment on one
pocket. The object of national correspondence
should be spared this expense else the gratitude Of
the people mpoverishes the object Of their attach
ment."
The ofice-seekers are prosecuting the old general
as badly as they did Gen. Harrison. They not only
into his substance in the way Of postage but
will expect to be paid by liberal rewards, should the
General ever become President.

And say that 81 have none,'
