To HoN. j. A. WRIGHT. GovERSoR or INDIANA
Dear Sir: Our attention has just been call
ed 10 an SEtiele in one of the papers of your
State, charging Prof. Larrabee with having, in
the purchase of books for the township libraries.
given the preference, 10 our house in considera
ton Of receiving bonus of some twenty thou
sand dollars. The charge is utterly false. No
bonus was ever asked by Prof. Larrabee. or of
fered by US. We have also heard that it has
been stated thai the books purchased of us in
1854, for the Indiana Libraries, were charged
higher than the cost Of the same books to the
Stale OF Ohio, that year, or TO the State Of Ind
ana this year This is also false We sold to
the State of Indiana the books ordered from
our catalogue, By the Poard Of Education,
through Professor Larrabee, at our lowest whole
sale prices. ..fs

It was to be confined 70 congress. butre-

dying struggle OF despotism. to attempt
the subjugation of freemen in every quar-
ter. IL is a continuation of the threat Of
Jesse d. Bright. to "crush out" the spir-
1t Of free thought and free speech, which
dares call in question the dicta Of party
hereliugs.
We have already alluded to the socie-
~ existing in the south. which has
agents In every commercial city in the
north, to ascertain the politics of the
merchants and business men OF the sew
ersl cities, and to turn away all trade
from those VINO do not bow to the be-
hests Of southern matters. The ssme
spirit and the same practice prevails even
in Indiana. Indeed there 10 no other
way Of maintaining the present suprem-
acy OF the slave power here. They can
not meet our arguments by arguments,
hence they resort to the spirit Of pro-
scription.
For some cause, our German citizens
come in for the largest share Of this pro-
scriptiye spirit. They have never been
regarded by the old line party a. worthy
OF any consideration, except 50 far ne
their votes might be used to promote
their interests and keep them in Office.
That they utterly disregard them. Is
manifest in the undying effort to intro
duce slavery into the new territories to
which the hard-working foreigner was
vending his way, and from which he is
thus excluded, unlesshe Is willing TO
endure the degradation which attaches to
white laborers In slave states. And now
that they refuse to be driven, In gangs,
like slaves. to support this outrage upon
their rights, they are prescribed.
