"good peoplo of Clay," as he has intimated he would do. But, as to this, we leave the public to judge. We never can nor will we ever advocate rnobocracy—we deprecate all such acts, and abhor their debasing influence and examples. We have laws sufficient for all inimergencios, and they should be regarded as the proper mediation between man and man. Yet, while we view the present difficulties thus, we are willing that both parties should bo heard in their own defence, that a proper conclusion may be made even by those who are not immediately interested—this is the only true basis of justice.

Hanna, of Clay, in Wright in the hour of his severest tri,answer to the orders issued by the Gov-. als, without, at, least, being permitted to e.-nor, to the Sheriff of that county. We' say that such a charge comes with a bad well remember the meeting refered to grace from his pen. This letter was in his letter, and rather think

Mr. Hanna appears to be pointed, clear and calm in his remarks, and we are inclined to believe, with the evidence before us, that there was a better, a more honorable and a more expiditious way of settling these difficulties than by calling out the militia. It is said that the officers of Clay never have refused to do their duty—no arrests have been made, or affidavits filed against any person. If these facts were known to Joseph, how is it, that he did not lake steps to this effect first, and if baffie.l in his efforts, then the musket would have been an honorable accompaniment with the law, in search of offenders, that they might be made to vield to its mandate.

Messrs. Editors: In a lato issue of your paper you kindly offer the use of its columns to any person who will undertake to excuse or palliate those who are guilty of what ia so loudly denounced as outrages in Clay county. I avail myself of that offer, and will say that before seeing it, I had in type, in the Journal of this place, an article which you will see in to-day's issue, and which I would be pleased to sec transferred to your columns. In that article I refer to and give an extract from a letter lately received by me lrom Gov. Wright, and although I might be willing to overlook any intended insult which it may contain to myself, yet I am not at liberty to pass over the wholesale accusation oL" ignorance" which

sent to me upon his returning to me the

Dear Sir':—Yours of the 2d inst.. with a communication upon the subject of the difficulties in Clay cnuntv in connection with the Proclamation, is before me. I have-handed your communication to the Editors of the Sentinel, who have declined to publish it and now return it.to you, as requested. I deeply regret to see you take the view you do of this conduct. I cannot beliovo that the. good people of Clay cotinty will countenance the doctrines advanced by you. From your connection, as an officer employed by the State authorities, and from the fact that the compromise that had been entered into, was, with with your agreement and consent, I had hoped, at least, you would uot have countenanced these outrage.

Most Respectfully Your's, JOSEPH A. WRIGHT.

To know what the peoplo complained of, feared and required, to which the Governor refers, we have to look at certain resolutions, adopted by a meeting held at the house of Mr. Grimes, a few days before the date of the above letter, and which had been transmitted to him. After stating in a preamble the erection

contemplated to be left standing, to die

and decay in the pool of said Reservoir,!

a certain and prolific source of fetal dis-

ease." The latter part of the fourth

resolution is as follows: '*We do here-

by pledge ourselves to each other t© resist the construction of said Reservoir, until the timber is removed therefrom, and suitable embankments made to keep the water within proper limits, and until said Trustees shall make a navigable feeder to said Reservoir, and suitable locks to admit boats into the same.'' [The whole proceedings of the meeting may be found in the Wabash Express, of August 18, 1852.]

This letter of the Governor was written pending a political canvass, to a leading Whig of the neighborhood of the Reservoir—following it, he employed Mr. Usher and myself, neither of

whom had been "encouraging: or winkO O ing at" this opposition—to institute a suit to prevent the erection of this Reservoir He thus gave form and vitality to the opposition—he breathed into it the breath of life, and it became a living "outrage. He led those people to believe that the Trustees had no ri»-ht

In a word our Military Governor has usurped powers which do not belong to him, under our constitution, and has mistaken the theory of our Government and has thereby been the cause of very great excitement, which, I much fear, may yet lead to sbmewhat serious results.
