very interesting letter from d" Carleton" witt

graphic sketch of the progress of the Reform

There are signs of coming storms in Eng

shall have taken place in the Eaglish Cons,itu'

society In order to place before you clear
picture of the passing events, and what they
portend, must dwell a little upon the past.

rested in the hands of the nobility and landed
estates. The midng class had no voice ii
the government, and much less the laboring
class.

began an agitation for the enlargement of th'
franchise, which they secured after long ant
bitter struggle against the House of Lords ant

administration and the National Union party.
My engagements to speak in the states Of
lndiana, Ohlo and Pennsylvania, will render
1t impossible tor TO make any such ar
rangement.
l am not little surprised thet Mr.. Car
penter's name should be used, for not long
ago IN w ashinglon, be indorsed IN the most
unequiyocal terms the Presidents policy, anu
urged me 10 5taud firmly by him
can we'll conceive that the Senator woulG
be surprised TO hear that any man had changed
his political views | well remember my own
surprise when the Senator turned his back
upon all his former opinions and professions,
and went over to the Republicans and my
still greater surprise When ne abandoned the
l.. 4
the Senate and went over 10 the camp OF his
- captured . copperheads But IN this IN
stance the Senator'S surprise is manufactured
tor a purpose.
The Senas0r's chronic habit of publishing
private Conversations, involves nothing but Il
breach OF good breeding, but II is something
worse, when, In tins instance, the couyer-
saton has To be first invented. | never ex-
changed word with Senator Doolittie IN
regard to the Presidents 5 pJlicy-appvoviug
or disapproyng | never urged him TO STAND
firmly by the President never reque TED
him 10 cesert and bctTay the President as he
surely will when treachery becomes more
profitable than ieaIty ana the statement OF
this circular III that behalf, is u;teriy untrue.
Considering, however, the result shat has
followed the Senator's missionary labors N
Maine think II would be unHlse 70 throw
any obstacle IN the way OF his stumpIng
lndlana, OHIO, PepnsylvaDia, and such o'her
states as it may be convenien; for him TO visit.
Respectfully yours,
Mart. ii. CARPENTER.
This is q square back down on the part of
Doolittle and the Johnsontes of " sconsin /;
yet 1t was his wi-est course. Mr.. Carpenter
would have completely refuted al Dooli,,le's
logic, as well as exposed his pretended pat lot
Ism aud love OF country, and the renegade
Senator was wise enough to avoid a contest
in which tie Was sure OF an oveTw helming
defeat.
