Ex-Governor Lucas.

Ex-Governor Lucas, Of Iowa, has with
drawn from the Democratic party and is
now, giving bis support to Gen. Scott. In a
long letter, in which he recounts his seryi.
ces while in this State, he gives his reasons
for so doing. They are the same that any
!whigof "old forgey" would give, and amount
10 just nothing at all.
We should like 10 know whether he is
the same Gov. Lucas that threw into prison
and put in chains, several years ago, one q
our most estimable citizens, (Since deceased, ),
who escaped death, moi by any fairness o
.gJod will on the part of Lucas, but by in
controvertible testimony Of his Innocence
The old citizens Of this place will under,

learn the circumstances before they believe

honesty and uprightness.
