several prominent Democrats Immediately
wrote to our Senators to vote for Sol. The
assertion that ! wrote the article is entire
ly grafuitous, and made wiihou, a knowl-
ledge Of the matter. by Mr.. Holloway.
and the statement that prominent demo
Gratis wrote letters in favor Of confirming
Meredith's appointment, is absurd
The above is taken from a letter written
from indianapolis by the editor of the
JefIersonian. Mr.. Elder does not deny
having written the article referred to. but
says we know nothing abou. it. We
heard ofthc article before it was published.
and knOr that Elder is held responsible
for it by the editors Of the Sentinel We
are not surprised however that he should
be ashamed to own its paternity. II was
unworthy even him. We know also.
positively, that prominent democrats. did
on the appearance Of the article referred
TO, write to our Senators asking their votes
in favor Of Mr. Mcredi,h's confirmation.
u there is any thing "absurd'' about the
matter. it was the writing and publication
OF the article spoken of. Messrs Whit
comb and Brigh, will not permit the per.
sonal feelings Of single individual to con-
troll them in the discharge Of high public
duty. No appointment made in Indiana
has given more general satisfaction TO
wings and democrats than that of Mr. !
Meredith. Prominent and dis;in guiShed
democrats in every part of the State have
approved the appointment. and except

State who is opposed 10 his confirmation. !

TO do so. The gentleman might be
''smcHcd IN" in his certain antcipations
OF being a member of that Convention.
The people may take stubborn notion to
elect whom they please. without regard 10
Mr.. Holloway's orders.' E.
The above is from the editorial corrcs. I
pondence Of the Jcffersonian. We have
only to say that we never made the state

where. We are not. neither do we expect
to be a candidate for seat in the Con.
vention. We have uniformly declined

to on the subject; aud our neirhbor tells
that which is not true. when he asserts 70
the contrary. The people of Wavne
county will send to the Conyen,io, a.,

neighbor or ourself
"Mr. Holloway objected in all his
speeches TO the printing. (Reed's rcpor,
