'GALpHAx1sM.'-Und this head Mr.. Webb.
of the New York Courier and Enquirer, pub
fishes gross libel upon the Hon. Richard w.
Thompson, of this State, which has been en-
dorsed and copied by number Of respectable
Eastern papers. The Courier says: -~
"a little futter has been caused by the dis
covery that the Secretary Of the Treasury and
the Interior, have ordered the payment to Hon.
Richard w. Thompson the sum Of S42, 900,
being the amount OF claim for fee as attorney
for the Menominee Indians, which had been
passed upon, examined and rejected by the two
preceding administrations. Mr.. Thompson
was some years since a leading Wing member
Of Congress. He first changed to Know-Noth-
ingism, and next to Democracy. He was an
active supporter of Buchanan during the late
canvass. have nothing to say against the
justice of this claim, or the propnety OF pay
ing it. but the transaction is identical with the
Galphin affair, on which the last Wing admin
istration was cried down and hunted by the
ban dogs Of party"
Party prejudice nor personal hate never in
vented more outrageous falsehood than the
statement that Mr.. Thompson changed to
Democracy" nor baser insinuation than the
motive implied in the charge. Throughout
the canvass for President, he was one Of the
most active and efficient opponents Of democ-
racy. and, up to the day Of the Presidential
election, labored unremittingly in the ranks
Of the American party, and closed the cam
paign here, and in the opposite district Of Ken
lucky, with some of his most mastery and ell
oquent appeals to the people against misrul'
and disunion. On his way to Washington t
settle this claim with the Government, ans
hut week before the Inauguration of Mr.. Blu
chanan, at the American Conventan, and il
the presence Of the two Houses Of the Legis
ture. in the Representatives Hall at Inlianap
lolis, he made speech that stirred all heart
against the iniquities Of both the rival parties
dealing denunciations impartially against bot
for their separate sins, and fore.ellng TO then
their downfall and confusion, when the peopl
should, later second sober thought" resum
their supremacy. The intimatioa that such
man bartered his principles and honest cor
victions to secure the payment Of an homes
) claim, that had been twice sanctioned by
Democratic Senate, and which any court woul
havd awarded to him, is an outrageous calum
tiny. Mr.. Thompson is one of Indana's mos
talented snd brilliant public men, in who's
: character and fame there is State prid,
u which her citizens Of all parties will defen
