MR.. TRUMAN SMITHS CORRESPONDENCE.

We consider the Wing party under many oblga-
tions to the Editor of the Union for his industry in
bringing to light the political correspondence of the
Hon. Truman SMITH. Yesterdays Union con-
tans another of this gentleman's letters, which
some unknown friend (s) transmitted to the editor
by mall This, like the former letter with which
the Union presented us from Mr.. SMITH, we deem
so creditable to the good sense and patriotism Of the
writer that we gladly transfer il also to columns.
Considering that we should, in all probability, re-
main in ignorance of these excellent letters but for
the generous aid Of the Union in making them
public we offer our acknowledgements to that
journal for the service it renders us, and hope that
the worthy member from Connecticut will con-
tnue to write letters long as the Union shall
kindly continue to give the benefit Of them to its
readers We would place this letter in the hands
of every man in Pennsylvania, had we the power;
we sure that its wise and patriotic sentiments,
and the truths which it contains, would have weight
with every unprejudiced mind:
