DEAR sR:-Since the nomination Of Vallandigham
have been frequently asked the question by Democrats
both at home and abroad, whether you would supper
gard to the policy Of the two political parties at th
present me giving a. reason for asking the question
that your brother Charles Anderson was candidate
the Republican ticket thinking perhaps the position h
| occupies, would have some influence upon you.
II agreeable to you an early answer will much obge
" Very respectfully yours,
Mr.. WIN. DoANE-DeGy Sir: On nv return
from Chillicothe few days since, found your
note of llth inst. awaiting my attention.
will endeavov to comply with your request, and
hope this communication may also be received
as full response to all those who, by word or
ion. cherished friend. Of long standing,
whilst In the Ancient Metropolis, put the con
vens Of your proposition In this form: "Of
course, Mr.. A., you will vote for your brother
and Brougb;" to which replied: "Nary Alb"
This brought on short discussion, rather as
sertion and denial, as TO what constitutes Abo.
litionism. l then declared, as I now assert,
that II all the speeches resolutions and gchemes
Of Garrison, Phillips, Wade, Giddings and
Chase were grated down, strained and pressed
together, they could not be gotten into more
concentrated and solid form than the proclama-
tion Of emancipation has given them. He then
who supports and sustains that war measure Of
the Administration, supports and sustains Abo-
litionism; and Abolitonism is the sire and dam
Of disunion. Like the whoring Jupiter, II be-
gat and brought forth that aocursed brat.
Before proceed further, let me say that /
shall not be prevented, by mock delicacy, from
acknowledging that accept and approve all
the eulogistic compliments which have been or
can be paid to their candidate for Lieutenant
Governor. have not sounded thekey note Of
praise or started the tune Of bis laudaton, but
may not be permitted to join in the chorus7-
II II 10 said "he is great In intellect, unsur-
passed in eloquence. brave, honorable and pat
riotio," my echo sounds out "brave, honorable,
patriotic" and the first part of the sentence re-
mains, fully approved In the Silent chambers of
my heart. But truly, our opponents are giving
ludicrous proof Of their belief Ia his versa
tility. When the news of my brothers nomi-
nation reached here was told with pleasant
sort Of emphaais, "We have strong team now,
Brough and Anderson. You know q thorough
bred and cocktail are now and then put togeth-
or TO make extraordinary time, the running
horse to bear all the weight Of the tongue, whilst
the other, throwing himself on the bit, shall

neglected to inform me whether the world was
about to be astonished at trotting or pacing
veloclty-Whether the laurel wreath was to be
snatohed from the brow of Flora Temple, or
Pocahontas made to lower her flag at their feet.

guess, for myself. Well, then, from the form,
figure and fatuess of Smiling Jack, should coy
the latter, especially as he has always been
great on the shuttle.
] beg leave to offer the managers of this po-
litical race little advice. Let their driver be-
ware how he cracks his whip about Charley's
hanks, for, If he touches him even 30 lightly as
Q fly, he will show them some OF the tallest
kicking they ever saw or heard Of Give him
the bit, watch the Tip Of his ear, for If ever he
shows oil the white of his eye and puts his
left forward, look out-your ducks are nearer
the gate OF the hot place than you think for
He is q fast horse and an honest racer. but
there are some things he cannot endure. Run
him on straight track, let there be no turns,
and above all things, keep him to the WindWard,
for, just as sure as the glowing hide of the fat
knight emits the odors of Africa, go surely will
Charley fly the track, and then farewell, q
long farewell' TO all your hopes Of glory
Like Bonnie Scotland, he is beautiful in form,
graceful In action, but again, like Bonnie,

ers have made their first and grandest mistake.
They 60 for quantity-he cares only for
quality. "In days lang syne" Prentice, of the
Louisville Journal said:
"If hesh ID grass a. some men say
Then Johnny Brough'sa ton Of hay"
and alas, alas! time and the seasons have made
Il mildew and moldy; and, moreover, is is said,
there has been 90 niger on de hay.stack;"
therefore, gentlemen, IL will not suit your Char
ley's stomach.
Nov comes one, loyal Lacquer, perhaps, for
he has pleasant and agreeable way with him,
and says "I see Mr.. A. that your brother and
the editor of the Catholic TslsgYapk are going
TO take every Iriehman ont of the sinking ship
Of Democracy will not leave descend
ant, even Of the fourth and Afth generations

This ia indeed fearful combination. Ap-
proach an Irishmsn with piety and patriotism,
and you stand q good chance to carry the whole
man BY storm-the tower and citadel, head and
heart, surrenders at discretion. q 1868.
Well piety and patriotism have taken their
oars in hand, and are pulling out for the old
boat--the first cries out "brothers and children,
come aboard"-leave that rotten, worm. eaten
old vessel, and We will take ,you TO home Of
happiness and safety. The other adjures them
by the love they bear to Erin and O'Connell-
BY che hate they bear TO England and oppres-
zion, 10 fly from their old deceivers, and come
with their aso and true frends-who want
nothing In return but their "6lood and ballots"
With loud huFrahs, they throw over their plum
der, down the sides they chamber, and soon the
boat 10 full, % was Peters bark--the seats are
crammed d--the gun-wales crowded; there was
scarcely room for the oars TO work In the row
