The Iowa Capital Reporter, of the 4th mst., sarveth: Bo far as heard fr.mthe State tickmf et, uHudmg Congressmen, is some 453 votes ahead. The counties to bo heard from will increase our majority about 2tt0. This, under the circumstances is a m -st signal triumph of Democratic principles ; al though our majority would have been much larger if j a full vote had been polled. In many, if not in most of the counties, the vote is unusually light ; it being so far as hemrd from, only about five sixths as heavy as at the August election."

We intend no disrespect to the able editor of the Logansport Pharos m the above remarks. We have admired his course. His piper has alvvavs been democratic thoroughly orthodox. Our reckless opponents have felt the vigor of his arm in the canvass. Hut we believe he hrs been misinformed as to Ur. Dunning. We know nt to what 44 letter " of a Mafrong democrat onr friend alludeit aa justify inf his remarks, but we do know that sytcmatic at" tempts were made InM suintivr at Camp Whitcotnb to prejudice our noble hearted and inexperienced volunteers, especially it tey were dttncrats, against (jov -to make them believe lint the usual aiid unavoidable hardships of a soldier's life were the consequence of his mismanagement, and to write home ,etU r ,( lUt and uc havt uot t,te uuU)l lat t,,e same ÄM-Älioi among sornc, whose whiffffers is str'nrer than their natriotLftm. continued to be exerted agnmst Lt.

We believe the 44 strong IVmocrat" whose letter is referred to, was taisinfotnstd in the same way. We are confident that our friend Hull would be rejoiced to find Ins painful impressions without foundation. From Lt. Gov. Running's -Otitntmicttton, it will be seen 1st. That he Wtt not a Sutler. Shi That the Sutler is appointed by the Cot, Lt. Co!., and the Major of the respective Bcglcn.. Sid. That those ollicers have the regulation of the prices of the articles themselves, and it is not reasonable to suppose, that in return for the confidence of their soldiers, who had given them their offices tey WO Id Suffer them to be treated unjustly, even if the Sutler were so disp i-ed. It also appears that the soldier is at liberty to buy where he can buy the cheapest. The Government furnishes him with provisions and clothing, and if he thinks prop, r he has the liberty of buying of the ii.- i ., w . - Kve .hen. bi-ror remarked, the regimental officers have a control as to the prices, to prevent extortion. It further appears that Mr. Dunning was ignorant of the procuring of the three or four barn-Is of whisky, (pnrchewd by another,) and was opposed to it, and that the sale did not continue beyond eight or ten days. But nbave all, and as wc expecteti, it appears that the prices of the articles as stated, are generally from onc hundred to three hundred per cent, beyond the truth. We think this exposition of falsehood by .Mr. D. will be satisfactory !o most unprejudiced minds, and at all events, that judgment will b suspended until the expected evidence appears. The Whig press, too, iave an opportunity of showing by what principle they are governed, accordingly as they do, or do not, admit Mr. D.'s communication into their columns. With r spect to the letter attributed to Capt. T. B. Kinder, and published in the Paoli Patriot, we are by M means Mtil6cd tint he is the author of it. Ever sim e the Captain left the Whig party, he has had the fiiendship (und has received substantial evidences of it too,) from the Democratic members of the Le gi.-Iature and others of that party, ami we dttn't bel.eve that he would w rite aach a letter of one so highly honored by a party which had so greatly favored the Captain, especially aa it might he attribated to his greater attachment to another person for . an office for which some may think Mr. Dun ninir might be called on to fill. Besides, such a letter does not seem to us characteristic of that modesty of a young man like Captain Kinder, which his friends j proudly claim fox him. great fiddler, bight 44 M.

The Icense Law.

It will be recollected that the last Legislature passed a law relative to the granting of licenses to retail spirituous liquors in Marion county to the -fleet, that the voters in the respective townships might decide by vote whether the county commissioners should or should not grant licenses according ? r fn 1. i -, 1,1 . .... to the S.ntute law in force. The result has ltd to numerous cvasu ns ol the law and to no inconsiderable number of indictimplication and otLerwi-S Thrse indict ments are not sustained by the Court, and neither ought, nor, in our opinion, can thy be. much in fuor of the Temperance cause, We are as as any one. But Wt arc no. 10 be n,,dc M bigatci tmmd on tl.e suojeci as 10 hin ourselves uy uruiKiue an 11. e lienor to save others ! ! The result of the eflbrts of a far, who lead many, in their anxiety to be over-righteous in this respect, is, no doubt, to open the door to indiscriminate .ales, and the loss of revenue. It shows, also, the necessity for more care in legislation. Enter- . . views, we songht the opinions of others on the subject and present the following from an able (lwu s,,al counsellor. If it can be shown to be incorrect, we 11 accordingly 44 reverse our judgment." linn, ,r in ffl !.. nun ntit t I . . mm mm mm .1 I 1.1,.

See RetM Statutes p. IHD. Tlie exprasaion in the above Statute, 44 Every p. rM son not being licensed according to the laws in force 4 at the time," renders it necessary to ascertain who are w ithin its penalties, to inquire, trhal iras the lau in force at the timr. Tins inquiry is answered by referring to the law on the subject of sptcific taxes for county purposes, See Revived Ststotet p. 2315. which enacts that tliere ! 44 shall be I7.W.SW. and p.nd into tbe countv treasurv 44 for conntv evnend, teres the t.llmv...r t " ' for count) expinditures the following taxes, among other taxes enumerated. 4 For each license to vend . . or retail spirituous liquors not le-s than ten DOT I than two hondrerl dollars.

Tl.e Statute ...... I,.. I mi .. v. . ... just quoted goes a step farther, and superadds to the quadruple tax, a penalty of not less than two nor more than twenty dollars. There vet remains to be noticed the Statute of 18 16, entitled 44 An act giving the rights to the voters of 44 Marion county to decide as to authorizing licences 44 to retail spirituous liquors in their townships." This act provides 44 That hereafter it shall not be law44 fid for the board doing county business tu grant any license to retail spirituous lujuora in any township 44 in said county, unless a majority of the jualiticd 14 voters of such township are in favor of such license being granted." It further adds that a vote of license or no license shall be taken, and if the majority be in favor of the latter, the commissioners shall and are prohibited from granting any. It contain no provision d elating the sale of liquor It retail a penal off, nre in the abstract. The vote of the people ol Oentre township in pursuance of this Statute was taken and declared to be against the license act. The .imini.nu u iu tu iu li' u i un i tire j h rnif net. lite i opdieat to that Tote and ÜMI ct-Km. in question, grant no license. Now what is the effect of the passage of this law. me oie taken in conformity to it, and the prohibition upon the commissioners consequent upon it, from licensing retailers ! If it bus any legal operation at all, it goes to repeal in Centre tounship the State revenue law winch had declared it penal to sell without license and payment of a tax. If this origin .1 law creating the offence be obliterated, what becomes of the amendatory enactment which simply attaches additional penalties for that tery tttl'enct It seems to be entirely inoperative.

I will give a brief history of this whole matter, for the truth of which, I appeal to men of the army. And I now declare, that I challenge the strictest scrutiny into my conduct whilst connected with the army, iiy the judgment of those who know me, and the course I pursued towards all men, with whom I had business or intercourse, 1 shall most cheerfully abide. In May last, after the requisition fuf troops was made by ihe President, upon Indiana, I was aetively engaged with others, in addressing my fellow citizens and urging them to volunteer their services, at the call of their country. I likewise volunteered my services. At the time I volunteered, I was actively engaged in prosecuting the political campaign for (iovernor and Lieut. Governor. A long string of appointments had previously to that time been made fur me, which it was agreed by the prominent uifinhers of the volunteer company, including the officers and others, without distinction of party, that I should fill. Indeed it was distinctly understood that 1 should be allowed to protectttc that canvass, until the troops should be called II pun to leave the State. 1 proceeded to till nearly II of them and afterwards met the troops at .Mew Albany. Ine circumstances beyond my control, which in spite of my own desire, and of my iinpanv, prevented my being mustered into service ;i i member of it, it is prcsuiiu d are already known to the publk, as they are to men of the army. They can Im? satisfactorily eetaMiebed at any time should a tenet it ion be ttecesaary. Indeed, it is a sufficient proof of my wish to go, (notwithstanding the written remonstrance of a number of my political friends as to the course 1 had taken.) that 1 Iben received frn.n r.t..,...l T...,.Q 11 I il.o ,i.M.itn.....t (,f .. ... - Quarter M;,K.er in hi. liniment.

An attempt has been made to create the impression that I was very solicitous about this matter, for the purpose of speculation. &nd that I had sought and , obtained as before stated, a SUthrrsbip.

Only three or four barrels of w hisky were ev er sold by Mr. Kent's authority, for which he paid dl,-S per gallun, as can and will be proven. I knew nothing of their purchase until it was made, or 1 should have objected to it. The sale of these 4 barrels lasted about or 10 davs; and thus ended the whisky trade, which has caused me so much abuse and villilication as a grocti tj ' keeper to the armv.
