Letter OF r. J. Carlton.
The communication of I. ]. CARLTON, Of
York township, published on cur first page,
is ono of the favors brought us by good, old
81! Valentine. That portion Of the letter
which seems 70 excuse Mr.. ThoRPE for his
vote on the Dressed resolutions, We wish tc
say n ,fswD words uPoD.l Friend CARLToS
will see shat the only plank he gives Mr.
TAoRPs 10 stand on is untenable.
When the quesfioo ofindipg candidate
for State Representative for Sandusky coun
" was csavsssed, Mr.. PowERs, the former
Representative was considered. Mr.. P. said
be was Union man, aud referred to bis
votes at the adjourned session of the Legis-
lature, for evidence. (Tho people Of San
Ky county honofed him for those votes. =
Butwhen asked as to how be would vote
FOR State Officers, he expressed favor for
the JsWstt ticket. The Union men could
not be satisfied with that. Mr.. THonPk
was proposed, and his friends declared he
was wholly opposed to the Jewett ticket, its
principles and measures, and that il he was
nominated and elected he would act with
the Union men cordially, without regard to
previous party attachments, Unless it might
be on some question in which the country
and its attempts to suppress rebellion wer'
in no manner connected. That Mr.. THoRPI
assentsd to these declarations, bis friend
win not deny, That they and We worked
Tor and voted for bin in opposition to Nh
PowERs on this, and this ground only, eve
cry union man will assent to. That Mr.
PowBRs and his friends declared be was a,
good q Union man rs Mr.. THoRPE, We
could not believe, for the fact that he anc
they persisted in standing by the Jewet
State ticket, and opposed the Union Stat
ticket; whne Mr.. THoEPE and his friend
denounced the Jewstt ticket without stint
That durisg the whole canvass Mr.. THoRPl
repeatedly declared himself ardsntly attach
cd to the Union party and all its interests
is fact that all who conyersed with hin
can testify to, and needs no further asser
lion from u.s. .uoia1 1di eHevoi sgat.ss
We think Mr.. CARLTON will now say
tbat eyen if Nj. THoRPE gave no pledge, b.
was on, his, honor bound TO, act eopioiutI,
and in good faith With the Union men.
Has he as the Union Representative OIL
Sandnsky county gone out of the straight
and plain traeki His vote on the Dressel
resolutions is a sufficient answer. That we
are not alone in this opinion, We will state
that not ens single DeE0crqt who voted fol
Mn &soRPnHasds fhs 70 nion State ticket
with whom We have ccnvssed, but wha
openly andiplaiuly declares that Mr.. T. dic
wrong, and very many Of them his own per
sonals Politieal friends and, DeighbOrs. con
dsDnshim in bOldof language than We have
ussd; while, (easioas eoincidenee) Jewetl
men approve aud applaud his course.
We have been told lhat Mr., THoaPE no
gEels khe veIe he eastl We sincerely hops
that's %, and if he acts truly with the Uu
ion party llS certainly shall have our thanks
We bad not expected 70 refer to this qucs
tiou again, but ip Publishing tho icOmmuni
