TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 9, 1881.

D-Tho Madisoaan Of Friday last contains well
drawn picture Of the political tergiyersations, 'ncenss
tcaccs and hercsies Of the Madison Courier in which
this occurs: yet the above Infamous article
only in the eyes Of to illustrate the
consistency Of CAREERS Democracy" BY this remark
understand Mr.. Sproue TO refer TO Governor
Wrghts recent letter to certain citizens at Madison
In relation to that letter. which published yesterday
with comments wish to be understood that we
neither endorse the letter the policy which induced
the Governor to write it, bat if any iners from Ell
Their the letter comments that Governor Wright
intended endorse what Mr. CARRIER has said in oppo-
ston to the compromise measures, the fugitive slave
law, they mistaken We feel authorised to say tina
such thing intended. Nor does he endorse the
assaults of CARRIER Col. German, J. L. Robinson,
Senator Bright, any else. Nor does the Cover
nor he u.s. intend oe understood taking
sides with Mr.. CARRIER in opposition to the Democrats
of Jefferson county He only endorses his support of
the regular candidates of the party, and thanks the
Courier for the support Of his administration,
which he says unsolicited. Now we think the
Governor could not have known of Mr. CARRIERS oppo-
sition Capt. Hendricks the democratic candidate for
Representative in Jefferson county who received the
party voe and his support of the Governors ad.
popularity in Jefferson county, least should regard
the support Of such a CARRIER dead weight.
We are glad to know that Governor Wright endorses
the opposition of no paper the compromise
measures. He could do without being guilty Of
such an act of political inconsistency, should sink
him in the estimation Of all honorable Governor
Wright Of the earliest supporters Of the COM
promise In April, 1850 he wrote to the
writer of this article, who then member of Con-
gress, strong letter urging him vote for Mr. Clays
compromise bill, commonly known the " Omnibus !"
One Of these letters was published in the Baltimore
Sun. In June, the year, in his invitation Gov
Crtenden, he clear and decided in favor of the ad
justment and in July following in his charge to Pres.
dent Berry, he travelled of the beaten track
to express his views fully these questions. These
opinions published before the passage of the peace
measures. Afterwards, in his annual message, he
dorsed them fully, and the extract published with
general commentator, by the national democratic
presses throughout the country We have felt it due to
Governor Wright to make these comments. When we
hear Of him dsnouncng these great measures which
when we find him endorsing their opponents, shall
then speak Of him in different Tone We have known
Governor Wright for twenty years. He is a of
warm and ardent attachments. Easily excited his
sympathes quickly aroused. The appeals of Gar
Der and his friends the bread for his children
would induce the Governor write Just such letter as
he did, without thinking Of the consequences We
think the letter will not do CARRIER much good, and
hope it will not be construed to the injury Of the Cover
