To His ErcelIeaey o. ~ Morton, Gooernor Of
Indiana:
EXCELLENT SIR-The energy with which you
carry forward all the affairs Of the State Of Indi-
ana would warrant the conclusion that II her cit
liens should suffer oppression Il does not arise
from Incidence on the part of the Chief Magis-
trate. and were il not tor the lessons Of the past,
your activity and promises il seems should salts
~ the most incredulous that the future OF the
citizens OF Indiana must be screnely happy ia
spite of themseves; for while you act and talk
for them. they are relieved from the aborOus
task of even thinking for themselves.
| gratefully acknowledge the favor, and will
endeavor to reciprocate by making some sug-
gestions to your EKcellency. which hope may
tighten your arduons duties
Sir, this Is no. the only question ia which
the people are interested. Fundamental laws
and the rights and property Of the citizen guar
anteed under them, are what makes Govern
ment respectable and anchors IL in the hearts of
the people; and, sir, you pay but an Indifferent
compliment TO their understanding and intell-
gence when you expect by attracting their at
tention to single figure 20 prevent them from
observing no. the entire canvass IL filled
Sir. the people are not unacauanted with the
Condition and sentiments OF thiscountry or with
your public acts and administration. They
know their own duties and. sir, they know your
duties rs Chief Magistrate OF n great State and
when you charge them with treason they will be
excused for believing that you have consulted
YOUR own breast for a character Of treachery and
given IL to the world for that Of yosr opponents.
Sir, when you assure US. with a. much appar-
ent sincerity as il you really believed IL yourself
that there are reasonable and dangerous organi-
rations in the State OF Indiana for the purpose of
resisting the constituted authorities of the State
and nation-that YOU not only acquainted
win the facts, but also the guilty parties, and
alter silence OF two months, (which must have
been painful TO your patriotic heart make full
atonement by a pompously heralded expose
you are either hypocrit or a coward; YOU are
at liberty TO choose between them. Your friends
are in doubt which wayt to incline, while the PEG
pie unite the characters and give YOU credit for
both.
Sir prudence and discretion would suggest TO
you to be careful in the future how you attract
attention 10 an administration which will only
pass without censure when il passes without OBJ
servation. Respectfully, &c.
