The Journal denies that the whg ticket for Marion

words For the Constitution; !" Against the Constitu-

counted There is effort with the wings 70 de-
feat the new constitution, and predict that Monday
will show much larger vote against it than many per-
sons expect We have conversed with many wings and
have found but few who intend voting for it, and still
fewer who will vote for the thirteenth article
We are reoced to know that the sober second thought
prevailed and that the Constitution has not been omitted
on the whig ticket.

The New Orleans Crescent enertains no doubt Of the

which was allowed by the Mexican Claims Commission.
The finding Of Indictment of perjury against the two

Hon. JESSE D. BRIGHr.-The Louisville Courier of
Saturday last speaks very harshly of Hon. J. D. Bright
for opposing Gov. Wright and his organ, the Madison
Courier. We are not disposed to become a party to a
quarrel between Democrats, especially when there is
chance OF one side extermlnatng the charlottesville
Journal.
Nothing can be more unjust than the assertion that
the Madison Courier paper repudiated by the party
in Jefferson county, is the organ of Gov Wright The
editor has laid hold of the skirts of the Governor

ago he beraed the Governor soundly for the appoint.

Bright and Wright.

We clip the following from the Madisonian, the new
paper at Madison:
For time past the editor of the Courier has beer
trying to the impression that his advocacy of Gov
Wrghts claims to reelection to the eubernatoriaI
chair was the cause Of Senator Bghts hostility TO.
wards him. and led TO the resolution repudiating the
Courier at the Democratic mass meeting. This is per.
iecty natural, and surprised that it should de-
ceive any intelligent man. Knowing that he cannot
stand on his merits, he sezes hold of Gov Wrght's
coat tail, and hangs on like ''grim DEATH" notwth-
standing the kicks and cuffs" he may receive Now
we desire to set this matter right, for ALL and
nail this base coin to the counter forever. We
horzed positively that Senator Bright has
never objected to or taken any offence Mr. Garbers
preference for Gov. Wright IL is silly, shallow SUBJ
terfuge resorted to- in fit of desperation TO up
the Courcr's political deoImty, its base betrayal of the
party that has nurscd it into e and to deceive en at
distance.
Mr.. Bright met ths charge before. in his speech al
the Democratic mass meeting, made at the request OF
the Democrats and in which the corruptions the Cou
rier were fully exposed. Mr.. CARRIER present,
and Mr.. Bright 'then and there" called upon him To
stand and say the audience whether he had ever
attempted to control him in any shape form, his
preferences for men or measures. He called upon him
to rise and say, he had approached him the
subject sought any time, control his course in
any particular. Mr.. Bright paused for a reply, but
CARRIER speechIess He knew that his on
this head were false and utterly untrue He that
Mr. Bright had never intmated desire for him pur-
any particular course to advocate oppose any
mans claims for Office He knew that articles, publish.

Bright and that therefore, his assertion that recent

pudaon of his paper was utterly deyoid OF truth Ho
knew all this repeat and hence he speschless.

for to notice this silly fasehood again. No intelli.
