Letter from Indiana.

-fhe following interesting coInHAuHiettl4o!
was received by one of our citizens, Mr.. S
&c. Brown. 1t will be read with interest by
cur numerous farmer friends in this locality
who were formerly from that State. Coming
as it does from one of the strongholds o.
Democracy, the clear and forcible endorse
ment, by the writer, of the present policy
of the Free state party, affords valuable testi-
mony in favor of the course pursued by the
people of Kanzas.
MARTINsvILLE, Ia, June Sd, 1857.
Mr.. BRowN-Dear Sir: Being impatient
to hear the news from Kanzas, as our people
here feel deep interest in every thing that
pertains to your i'll fated State, Tin embryo); ;
and especially our press, the Morgan
county Gazette, is particularly anxious
to havethis correspondence agreed upon be-
tween you and myself, so that it may
have the benefit, BY your permission, of
laying your communications before its nu-
community as to the fate of Kanzas. |
have of course no news now that can IN any
way interest you. The weather is fine now;
a little too cold for the season, but still veg
citation is springing up rapidly, and every
thing at last assumes quite spring like ap-
pearance The prospect of an abundant
harvest is brightning very much. Though
we are In great destitution now, thank kind
Heaven for the prospect just at hand for a
speedy deliverance.
Inotiee that the tone of the pro-slavery
organs of the south, is becoming very
much modified, in their mode of speaking or
rather writing, on the subject of slavery In
Kanzas. The South, a new proslayery organ
which has just sprung up in Richmond, Va,
comes out in long editorial, In which they
pretend to give up the chase. They say
Kanzas is doomed to be Black Republican
State, and In that event, Missouri will fol-
low, then Kentucky and Tennessee, and
then the New England Abolitionists, viii
become more impudent-wil take courage
and send emissaries into Va, and finally
subdue the whole country south TO Freedom.
All have TO say Is amen-so mote 1t be-
But my dear sir, look upon all this as soft
soap. have noticed the general tone of the
south has changed on that subject, but still
they continue to keep the same organism
that they begun at first. Stanton pretends to
say that the new pro-siayery constitution,
II say proslaveFy because know that IN
der the present state of things, they viii
have no other,) shall have provision in
eorporated in it to the effect that the ques-
ton of slavery shall be submitted to the
whole people Now sir, do not believe a
word of it. I would be willing. SO far as
danger is concerned, to wager all my earth
ly possessions, against pin, that if that
question is submitted at ali to the people,
it viii be confined TO the favored few whose
names are registered under the bogus laws.
therefore would advise all the friends of
freedom to be on the look out. I think you
have acted wise in resolving to hare moth
ing to do with the election for delegates, and
unless you are allowed fair chance and
free vote, moi to haze any thing to do on the
question of submitting It to the people.
As my little sheet IS near full, and have
nothing of any interest to communicate,
hoping that this VIII suffice FOR an In
PRODUCTION 10 the correspondence agreed up-
on when had the pleasure of seeing yoa
the other day out IN old Kainfssek, and that
