Pnilinr Gov. Wright,a Hair.

Pulling Gov. Wrights Hair.
The Louisville Democrat puts in good
word for Gov. Wright, as a reliable Democrat,
and very sharply upbraids the Cincinnati En-
quirer for backing The Indiana SentinePs un:
favorable opinion of the Governor. 1t says
the '1ocaI' Of the Sentinel wrote the article
so disparaging to Wrghts excellancy as a
Democrat, and that after few copies had been
struck off, the article was taken out of the pa
per, &C. Now, by the Sentiners own admls-
sion, the author of that article was Mr. Cot
tom, who on retiring from the Sentinel
short time since, was publicly presented by his
Democratic friends with some splendid pieces
of silver plate as token of their appreciation
of his services as Democruac editor. Now
here is what Mr. Cotton wrote about Gov.
Wright:
The local columns of the Seminal have, for
TIE past few days, been filled with puts Of
Gov Wright's speech at the New York State
Fair. These pu6S were selected by the Gov
ernor himself and published at his request,
and during our absence from the city inserted
in the local department of the paper, against
our wishes and much to our regret, as we de-
sire above all things to avoid the charge OF
having been the medium through which a
most arrant demagog0e has blown the trumpet
of his own vanity and demagoguesim. Had
we been at home the articles should not have
appeared on our side Of the paper.
Ind. Sentinel, 28th
We presume Mr. G. thought he was express
ing the voice of the good Old Liners who pre-
scented him with the silver plate! But the ed
itor Of that rabid Old Line Anti-American pa
per, the Cincinnati Enquirer. got hold of the
above, and thus tells his opinion of this same
) Old Line Governor:
We always suspected Gov. Wright Of being
a plausible but surface trickster. ambitious o.
climbing away beyond the highest of his mer-
it's, but did not give him credit for such tri-
fling weakness and selfsufiicency as the Senti-
mel has exposed. When we heard that he re-
marked, once on time, that the fugitive slave
law never should be executed in Indiana while
he was Governor and soon after came round
so far as to hold all as infides who opposed it,
t we set him down as charlatan; but we did
. not estimate him so cheaply as he seems, by
a the Sentinel's exposure, to have estimated
himself Il Governor putting himself Bah.
