We li nil hoped, as kt wore already in ,- state belligerent with two of iho most influential journals ol die state, that wr would have been considered by our neigh bor of the Sun as entitled in a particular manner, to his "'tender mercies." This we anticipated from his usual courtesy from neighborhood and a community ol interests. Hut a long editorial an unu sually long one we might and, for our well beloved neighbor in poluies, has taught us thst even in him we may sometimes he mistaken. We tell our neighbor of the Sun that we do not thank him for his gratuiious interference in matters which concern its exclusively. Wo have some ol the properties of t!ie Scotch thistle about us; we are apt to prick, those who rudely assail us. When let alone and su tie red to pursue fhe "calm anil even tenor ot our war,"' we injure no one. YV e eatnioteoticnt to receive lessons of instruction lrom the Sun at this particular juncture, because it has utterly withdrawn its shining ever since Andrew Jack on issued 1 is I .into v..Trcasttrv Circular, and until Martin an liurcn repeals that act. wtitcn le.e repre sentatives of the people in Congress have declared might to be repealed, lie wi.t excuse us if we decline looking for light from a bndv that is in a state of total eclipse. Like the writer of the above-mentioned article, we would live in "peace" hot wc would not purchase dm: peace rt the expense of our independence, or our prist cir-lese nr at 1:ie siiota ice ..I wn-u we ooncetve to be the true interests of the State. We tell the adviser f the Sun, that not nlv ''an Ishmedite," to use his owh l::tgtiago, may be found among us, but per haps an Arnold also. 1 he wiixr oi tinarticle alluded to. thinks that "whatever may have been th? views of ;he editor (meaning ourselves; or his advisers. i: re lation to what he terms the obnoxious leatures of the bill, the expression of them is too late." It is never too late to do rood we would suppose the opinions ot this wiseacre to the contrary not ithstatid:r,g. Although, we are firm and ardent supporters ot the internal improvement bill generally, we are far from believing that iti free lrom lmpm lections. e be lieve it has "obnoxious features," and lha the extension of the canal alone the Wabash, instead of improving tli.it river, is one of them, and the taking the central canal by the "routi J-a-bcnt course"'' over the hills of IVtrr-borgh to the Ohio a: t,vansvule, ms'ctid ot inaMng it niterse-M White river at or near the month, is ano 'ncr. 1 hese opinions wc. itoncctiv entertain, and have honestly expressed them. In doing so, we have endeavored to avoid personal abuse: and. although we havi been, as we think, uneourteously assailed bv editors with whom it lias been our pride to act in conjunction on ftinr.tr occasions tv ihill still continue in the rerlormance of what we conceive to be our duty, fearless of consequences, not dor.hur.g. but that our views will nltima'ely he approved bv the wisdom ot trie state, l tie writer of the aforesaid article, calls our attention to the l!l section of the Hill "for the com mencement and completion of the several works of internal improvement contemplated m this act so soon r. the interest ul the state will justify, the faith of the sta'c is hereby irrevocably pledged."' "Thank ye," we have seen that before wc read your kind advice. Hut suppose that the interest of the state should never call for their completion w hat then? Would ib.c faith of the state stand pledged to the completion' Wc would think that that would not require a very wis; lawyer to answer that. We arret truly glad to sec, on the pait of the editors throughout this state, such a manifestation of approvement, in relation to an rhhtorial Convention, which will meet at Indianapolis on the last Monday in this month. Wc would like to number -with the many wc '.rust will be there, but

it is uttt ry out ot our power. .iiciibor Stout has informed us that it is equally out of his power to attend. We of the (iaze'.te, however, will stand to. and abide by any regulations the Convention may make for the adv a icement of printing as will friend Stout of th- Sun. think. 7o the Feee I -tt i v e (ill A ).." M absence for a couple of weeks from home, has hitherto prevented me iVoni replying to an article signed "Many o:cr." which appeared in the Gazette of the 1.";!, tilt. The complimentary part of it I must attribute rather t ) the par'iahty of fnen iehip than to any merits which have maikd ray political course during the! bin -I' period in which I hive hi ! the honor of representing your interests in the state, legislature. In reply ti the interrogatory embraced in the article above alinded to. "Will you allow your name to he announced as a candidate""' I frankly answer, 1 w ill. In thus responding to a portion of the public sentiment which has made me one of the honored objects of its rogarl. the only and best pledge, which I can give my fellow-citizens of this county in relation to the future, is in pointing tli?m to the history of tin past, while I had the honor to act as their Representative and Senator. This renewal of their con:i'dence in my integrity and ahiiitv, draws largely on my gratitude, and they may rest assured that should I be elected as 0:10 of their Representative in the next legislature, mvcxettions in behalf of their political interests, honor a id welfare shall not in the least bo abated. With sentiments rd" respect 1 have the honor to be, fellow-citizens. Your Friend, ii. m. sn w .
