Spicy.
We give below spicy and characteristic
letter from Judge Wright on the subject of
the late letter to j. H. Lane, the leader of
the rebels in Kansas
Mr.. EDIroR The difference in character
between GOV. j. A. Wright and Judge j. W.
Wright, is well known in Indiana, but have
been deeply chagrlned and mortified several
times in other States, bg having the acts ana
savings Of Gov. Wright attributed to me-
was the author Of the letter written to Col.
J. II. Lane Of Kansas, in November last, Of
fering men and money 10 protect the citizens
of Kansas in their rights TO life and liberty.
GOV Wright is the author of the late eplstle
written to the same person TO encourage the
Border Rufhaus and TO intlmidate the settlers
Of Kansas.
/ At home, Gov. Wright cannot back his
views with dime Of money, or more than a
corporal guard Of men. As to my ability
to DO what J undertake, it is not doubted BY
those that know me, and If fail in my Kan
sas projects it Will be the first failure in my
life.
Some Of tho cold line" papers in Indiana
speak Of nv letter as being a hoax. They
know but little Of public sentiment and they
Judge others by themselves. They know
that they are willing to be slaves and sup
pose all others can be purchased at the same
rate.

there, and money can be furnished TO any
amount, and after it is all over, every alder

be shipped South, and delivered over tot their
masters.
Persons wishing to emigrate to Kansas rs
actual settlers, and desirous of procuring
Sharpe's rifles, can be supplied in a few DAYS
by addressing me at Logansport, or at the
Bates House. Indianapolis. Ny friends Will
remember the w, aud address me in plain,
legible hand.
The decree has gone forth that Kansas
must be free, aud that the ground that pro-
duces 1'dough-faces" in the North. shall be
ploughed up and sown with salt, and remain
desolate forever. Wherr that day shall come,
| viii try and intercede for my friend the
Governor, and procure for him permission
to remain in Indiana to raise hazle-nuts and
teach Sunday schools, and take other like
small exercises-whether in that condition
he shall wear pants or petticoats, the future
shall decide. JOHN W. WRIGHT.
