OFThe Richmond Palladium OF Jan. Is, does
great injustice to Mr.. ELDER, the Representative
from Wayne, in reference to the State Printing. II
the cause of this originates in honest mistake, we
ask the Palladium, as personal favor to us, to ex-
onerate Mr.. ELDER from The imputation which il
makes against him. The Elder voted for by four OF
the Wing members. (who did not feel disposed TO be-
stow any measures of grace appreciation upon MIR.
Defees,) not Mr.. Elder the Representative from
Wayne, but person of the same name who resides
in this city. Mr.. Elder of Wayne never had q
thought of being a candidate for the contract We
ask Mr.. Holloway, as personal act of genilemanly
courtesy towards US, that correction of this error
may be made through the columns of the Palladium
Common candor demands it, in opinion; and we
cannot doubt il will be done.

.sThe yyire-PuIIers at work -

Under the above CO pon the Daily State Journal of
the 10TH in one of its Characteristic articles, attempts
to misrepresen and abuse the meeting of the
Democratic friends of General 10. LANE. We had
almost determined pass by Tie puerile assault with
out notice when a friend handed us the following,
which we think is sufficient antdo,e 10 the foolish
assault of our neighbor.
The JOURNALS NOTIONS OF WIRE WORKING AND DC
rATroN-Because some of his fellow-cizens have
written n letter to General Lane, expressing to him,
what every body knows that he IS the choice of the
State for President in 1852, and adding that they be-
lieve he WILL in Convention, be the choice of the
Democracy Of the Union, the Journal, with Its usual
decency and good temper, gets up the eternal slang
about wire working and dication, and winds up with
a touch of abuse against Mr.. Owen, equally original
and refined.
As to wire-pung, somebody, we suppose, must
set every movement, however important, In motion.
And it might puzzle the small brains of the Journal,
to explain to MS what more fitting place or occasion
than the present could be found, to in matter
that we sincerely believe will result in placing Cit
izen of Indiana in the Chief Magistrates Chair.
| As to dctation, this not even nomination by
the Legislature like that of Gen. jackson by the
Legislature of Pennsylvania, il q simple letter
addressed to the General, to ascertain whether he
would return among us. But if the Legislature had
nominated him their choice, what then! Has not
Indiana as good a right any other State TO place
before the Democracy of the Union, the claims of her
favOrlte son! Or is she TO ask leave OF the Editor oil
the Journal before she ventures on so bold stepi
| AS to Mr.. Owen, there never was strong, Origi-
nal mind that did not find small minds TO peck at and
abuse it, We have nothing to do with Mr.. Owens
opinions in matters disconnected with politics and his
course as u public man. Neither has the Journal.
Mr. Owen, we suppose, is by this time, too much
accustomed such slang to heed those who go OF
their way TO have hi at him. We remember tina
one John Milton, whom the Journal may possibly
have hea I'd of the author nf certain poem called
paradise LOST subjected by those who hated
his Democracy, to similar abuse for some opinions o
his on the subject of divorce, which considered
by his contemporaries very heretical and improper

RAILROADS IN ILLINoIs.-A friend writes to us, from
Illinois, under the date of the 18th inst, as follows:
l see by extracts from your papers, that consider
able excitement has been gotten up, railroad ques-
tions in your Legislature, being somewhat akin to
that which has ,ranspIred in the two last sessions of
the Legislature of this State and caused, doubt as
it has been from the conflict of local feelings and in
terests. You rest assured in your quarter. that
the Legislature Of Illinois will, at its session,
grant n liberal charter for the continuation of the
great Eastern Railway, from opposite Terre Haue to
Alton the Mississippi, 20 miles above St. Louis
this being a continuation and completion of the work
originally surveyed, and third completed by the
State. No road be chartered to this Stale.
terminating opposite TO 81. LOuis, nnaugre all the e.
forts that may be made to accomplish it,"
The foregoing is written by gentleman who is no
doubt well certified of the disposition of the people OF
Illinois. A good many hard things have been said
about Sucker neighbors, account of the dspo-
sition which they have manifested this subject II
they are wrong we should take care how we confirm
them in their errors by adopting their example.
