Boston, from which correspondent OF the New
York Evening Post extracts few passages. IL
appears that Daniel, while law student, helped
support his brother Ezekiel at college, by copying

In conclusion Of this letter to bis brother, of

We think Mr.. Bashford is right in refusing to

that thing. Pledges given to the public before

adopted citizen we are ourself, we feel some
interest in common with all citizens who had not

of men to office, who will give oil our rights.
no more and no less. depriving us of none. This
is one of the reasons why oppose Barstow.
and why we shall vote against him.
We have in our possession. letter over the
signature of Coles Boshford, in his own hand
writing, addressed to citizen of this county
some four weeks ago in which he says:
Should be elected Governor of the State of
Wisconsin, in the appointment of men to Office.
and in the administration of the Government, the
matter of creed and birth place will be no quail

Grafton"
This letter we are not permitted to publish, as
1t was not written for publication but should Mr.
claration, we shall consider ourselves at liberty
to charge the violation upon him, and exhibit to
the public the proof But we apprehend no such
conduct on his part.
We believe Barstow to be the Know Nothing
candidate. and have the best reason to believe that
Or. Dunlap, John Dunbar, Henry lotion, George
T. Pratt, and other prominent Know Nothings OF
this village, are working for him and will vote
