Hon. 4. w. BartIey's Letter TO Hon
Jacob RrinkerhOff.


! The following is a correct copy of letter
written by Judge BARLEY TO Hon. Jacob Brink.
erhoff while member of Congress from the
Richland (ohio) District.
I MANSFIELD, o., Jan. 81, l847.
DEAR SIR:-l discover that great efforts arc
making in Congress to place two or three mil
lions OF dollars in the hands of the President to
use In efeeting peace with Mexico. For one
say that under circumstances whatever.
would yield the Wilmot Provision. If south
ern territory is TO be purchased noio no,o is the
time and the only effectual time, to say slavery
or not Sldveyy. am aware that some of our
Democratic friends say that the question of sla-
very ought not to be drawn into the matter
am sorry they are so blind or needless of the
evident designs of the Southern politicians.
IL is time-high time, that northern and
western democrats should not be hoodwinked
by southern politicians and southern articles,
and southern treachery. No man of common
sagaclty, whose senses are not deluded, can
have any doubt about the design and the sole
design of southern politicians. If were in
Congress L would see the political elements
crumble into dissolution, before / would be
overreached by southern treachery
see some lick-spittle resolutions adopi ed by
Wilson Shannon and some of his mnions at
st. Clairsville, Ohio, lately got up no doubt, on
some promise rom some quarter of another
ooP, SuCi do Cndrldtun took
former occasion to betray his friends into the
arms of the Tyler party. These expressions of
opinion got up by influences at Washington
amount to nothing. | would sustain Mr. Polk
at all lengths-but when it comes to the pur-
chase OF Mexican territory to come into the
Union, 1t cannot be said too soon that it is not
the object or design of the only truly free gov
eminent III the world TO extend the domains of
slavery. Such believe to be the general feel
ing of our Ohio people Democrats ne ,voll %
Wings.
If Ohio is to be divided into two Judicial cir
cults for the United States Courts, please see
without fail that the terms of the southern dis
triet are fixed for the second Monday of Nav
and the third Monday of November. Any
other arrangement will create difficulty in case
OF division. In haste, your friend,
I. w. BARTLEY.
Mr.. BARLEY is now one of the most unscru
pulous pro-slavery men in Ohio. In the
last Presidential contest, Mr.. Douglas was en-
llrely too mild for him;-he therefore supported
Breckenridge. Mr.. BARLEY being a Brecken-
ridge Democrat then, still adheres to the for
tunes of his chief and of course he is highly
proper person to stump the State for the JEFF.
Davis Democracy, to misrepresent the acts and
Intentions of the Administration, and to ma |
lign and traduce the memory of Senator Doug |
Ias-as he does in the most of his speeches He |
is fit associate for Col Groom whom the Ohio
State Journal says bad to resign his commission
in the army to save himself from being Court
Martialed for stealing negroes and then selling
them, and for Pugh the Attorney of the infa-
nous and exiled traitor Vallandigham.
We ask Democrats who heard BARLEY speech
yesterday, to compare what he said with the
sentiments contained in the above letter, and see
how utterly base he has become
