GovEnjvon rav. FROM THE SALEM ANN0TAT0R. At a meeting of the Jackson Central Committee of the St.de ol Indiana at Salem on the 2Sih cf June, 1828, the follow ing preamble aud resolutions were adopted. Whereas, it has been represented to this Committee, that M-j. Handy ha? recently received a comn unicidion from Governor Kay, xpreshe of his sentiments on the pending Presidential thetion favorable to the el ction ot Gene ral Jackson ; and it appearii g thai G v. R;i has denounced ihe paity opposed to the re-election of Mi. Adams as a violent out

rageous faciion, whiih every good man should unite in suppressing, i herclore lit solved that a committee be appointed to call on Mai. H ndy to ascertain from him whether such letter nas oeen re ceived;and if so, to request a copy of the same for publication. hereupon, Messrs. M.iloit, Kvtcbain and Lyon, were appointed that Committee, win reported that they have received into their possession, the letter above relerren to, with a note from Mr. Handy, which letter, or communication being read it was resolved that the same, together with certain interrogatories put to Governor Ray by the Edilor of the brookville hepositoi s , and Gov. Ra' answers there to, be published lo the Aonolator. WM. MARSHALL, CVn. Y. II. Carter, Scc Gentlemen of the Centra! Committee In compliance with )our rtquUiiicn to obtain a letter written by Gov. R.t to me, the 15th of last May, J t-uhmii the same to you for your use. In so doing, 1 beg leave to remark, that the correspondence originated from a resolution which was passed by the Central Committee, at their setting on the first Monday in May lash It had been reported in this tow n that Gov. Ray had become the decided adxotate of the election ot Gen. A'idrew Jackson, that the reception of the General's answer to the resolutions of the Senate, had fully satisfied him that the measures ot Jackson's adminitration (should he be elected) would be the amo of those of the present, and that he preferred Gen. Jackson as a nan to Mr. Adam, and that the pointed bderrngatorit-3 put by him (Gov. R i)to die Gen. were to release him from the charge cf favoring the answer of Gen, Jackson, u hich, he otherwise expected to be charged w ith hy the administration party. IVy reason of the report then in circulation, a resolution was adopted b the committee to call on'Gov. R ), and learn if he would permit his name to be placed upon the J;ukson ticket as a candidate for G.'V. B -ing appointed chairman of the committee to call on he Gov. I wrote individually to him, the circumstances in full, and iiifornu d him thai such a committee had been raised, and of the nature of the resolution, Sc. that w ith in a short period he would be callad up on, lor his answ er ; in answer to which he wrote to me the letter placed in your hands. Not being present when the letter came to the oihce, it was opened as all other correspondence, directed to me are, by Mr, Allen or the young men in I he ollicc; the contents became known to some, not suspecting any thing con tained m the letter required secrecy, on my receiving the letter, I exhibited it to two or three persons, n.embers of the committee appointed to call on Gov. "jR:i, (as resolved.) The committee. alter having prepared a communication to forward to Gov. Ray, were delayed trom further proceedings, by reason of information w hich Gov. Ray had given to some individuals b letter, residing at C rjdon, relative to Gen. Jackson's answer to his intei rogatoi ies, and it was then agreed to let the. subject rest from further inquiry until the setting of the present committee. You will preceive that the Liberty Hall Gazette, of Cincinnati has set forth the report in circulation, that Gov. Ray is in favor of the election ot Gen. Jack son as a base calumnv: and that Gov. Ray in ,i answer to the editor of the Brookville Repository has denounced the Jackson party as an "outrageous, violent faction, and ought to be put doivn by every good man in society.'1 Under these circumstances, and standing charged as a calumniator and slanderer in the public prints for ciiculating the report that Gov. Bay was in favor of the election of Gen. Andrew Jackson, 1 feel it no less than a duty I owe to myself and the people of this State to comply with your request and to submit to the hands of the committee the letter upon which I grounded the "slanderous

report" circulated relative to Gov. Ray's political sentiments, and conclude by remarking, that 1 have ever been the

firm supporter of Gov. Ray, and that if the language attributed to him by the Brookville Repository was assented to bv him. I shall conceive his course de serving Ihe detestation of every honest man in society, and as having treated me with that duplicity unwarranted uy ni3 political standing. P II. S. HANDY. Indianapolis, May 1 5, 1 828. Dear Friend I seize upon this first occasion, to acknowledge the receipt of your nelcome letter of the 7th lust: and to reply to it. Let me assure you, Sir, that jour letter contained much information valua ble to me, which I shall treasure up, and never use to your disadvantage. I must admit, that although 1 have constantly recognized a numerous corps of my old political and personal friends, in the Jackson ranks, yet that I was not looking for a concentration of the tihote lorce, ot thai formidable and respectable party in my favour; notwithstanding 1 feel satiffud that my course better deserves the confidence and friendship of the friends of the General, than either of those Gentlemen whom you presume will be my competitors, viz: Moore, Thompson or Graham. Unlike these gentlemen I will never be heard to sa),that "I wiah not to be supported by the Jacksonians in Indiana." On the contrary, I recognize amongst them, those tery men, who honorably aided in electing me to the place I now occupy in a former struggle against an old Adams Elector. Wishing never to subject myself to the charge ol inconsistency in politics, I will give, you a brief history of my course and feelings in politics on the Presidential question. "When the Congressmen were elected that made choice of the present Presi dent, ! was a Candidate, and in rany instances openly declared in the presence of thousands of my then electors, that I was for Clay first; but that if Clay could not succeed, then, in that event Gen Jackson was m second choice, Adorns, however was elected tho' I prefered Jackson, and alw ays believed he was entitled to the place. I at once come to the conclusion that I would judge the present Administration by its acts, and would not oppose it as long as it was good, unjustly. Its measures, 1 found to be good, wholesome for the people of the Union and particularly indiauaa Although Mr. Adamj was uot my choice t Miy time, individually, I acquiesced Ui der these circumstances, 1 determined to occupy neutral ground. I have never ?een any thing since to change my first determination. And whilst 1 disbelieve the charge of bargain and corruption, against Messrs. Adams and CU, 1 equally discredit the charge upon Geu. Jackgon, that he is hostile to internal improvements and the protection of kom& industry, since the receipt of his letter to me on those subjects. Although it is true, that I had doubts before I addressed the General, from the circumstance that he was taken up and recommended so warmly by the southern interests, opposed as we know to ours, that the General might think fit to go against us, yet I must confess, that his reply to my letter has removed them; consequently raised that great man very high in my estimation. As between him and Adams, my old feelings are renewed. I am one of those men who cannot now think, that the Administration of Jackson will be varient from the present administration I shall likely reply to the committee, you say is raised to address me in substance as follow s. I am in your hands. Dispose ofmeaud my name, as you in your wisdom think proper. I wish to be elected. Gov of ihe State on my merits, shall not become a partizan shall have no objections to receiving the united support of ihe Jacksonians shall not undo what they think fit to do, in State election & wili admit the election to be a test of strength. But must be permitted for the good of the cause, to object to a publication before the election, of the letter of the Committee to me, or my reply. By that course the cause w ould be weakened, thousands in number. If you wish me to succeed by a great majority, leave me as much at liberty as possible allow latitude. It is enough for you to take up a man not against you and support him, without drawing from him any thing for publication, to give offence to the opposite side. And he who allows himself silently or tacitly to be support' ed in your name, stands committed byimplication as strong as the Andes.
