Hut with all the happy talents the gentleman may conceive he possesses ia duplicity and generating party rancor, there are two matters ul some importance to himself which he seems not to have understood, or has entirely overlooked the one is that the people of Indiana can generally read cor rectly, and those who have read my remarks will at once delect the slimsey perversion he has attempted and tiie other is that he has so long dealt in falsehood and duplicity, that even the honest and intelligent friends ot Gen. Jackson can no longer give credence to bis publications

The friends ot

WM. C. LINTON

have requested me to say he will, »f elected, serve as a Senator, for the district composed oj Sullivan, Vigo and Clay counties.

NATHANIEL HUNTINGTON

a candidate to represent the county of

Vigo,

in our next Legislature.

I am willing to acknowledge, Trul, indeed. I have not the least doubt,but' that the Editor of the Western Sun. wrote the production under his head •f the l»tin»t.

Tt must, in justice be acknowledged that Mr Perm, of the Louisville Advertiser equals any editor in the Union. (Dull Green always excepted) in publishing false charges against our present Chief Magistrate and his Cabinet.—And it may with propriety be conceded, that when one of his falsehoods are refuted he can pass 011 to a multiplicity of others, with almost as. much seeming indifference, aud facility, as even Duff Green himself It is not in these amiable traits alone that he seems to excel, but in the art of perversion, he is an adept, and in garbling the productions ot others, and bending them .to his own views, to elfect the pui poses of his party, be may be considered as match'ess

In his paper of ihe 23d ult he has taken the liberty of misquoting some of my remarks, for the purpose of working upon the passions of some of the people of this state, and inducing ihem to dra\v the line," and wage an indiscriminate political warfare against all who will not bend the knee to the Hero.

And, no doqbt felicitates himself, upon uaving the address to induce a belief that I had acknowledged

Indiana know how

their own concerns—when

the application which he

made was the farthest from being correct of any that could possibly have been given it. 1 he 111I01 'nation ofthe course pursued by the lli'.prenentaiive in Court fro:n this district, was altogether gratuitous—his constituents w^re W' acquainted with his sentiments «.n ttiU subject previous to

POLITICS OF THE DAY. "It is a subject of no little gratification to learn, from those States hitherto deemed doubtful, that the truth and the light begin to preva.il against the prejudices which have infected the public mind, and the misrepresentations which have influenced the public opinion."

Another Letter informs us that the nomination of Mr. Hush to the Vice-Presidency is exceedingly popular in Pennsylvania. The tide," says this letter, certainly ran avviule against us, under the influence of corruption and bargaining by Mr. CLAY. The complete and triumphant refutstion of that charge has produced a powerful ru-action in the public mind, and the tide is setting steadily and strongly in fi^vor of the Administration IU every county of ihe State

Another letter, from one of the most respectable of the private citi zens in the interior of the State, under the date o( January 18th, aays,

iVFrom the National Intelligencer.

In no part of the

country is this operation going on so certainly as in the State o,f Pennsylvania We have before us several letters from the interior and...sound parts ot the State, which leave no reason to doubt of the vote of that State being given to Mr.

ADAMS,

the Presidency, and to Mr.

for

RUSH

for the Vice Presidency. One. letter from liarrisburg, to a member of Congress, now before U9, says, under date of January 23d I cannot refrain from informing you, that the information we receive from all quarters of the State, is of the most flattering character for the Adrninis tration. From information respecting Lancaster county, I have no doubt that that county will be for Adams." Speaking of the late election in Lancaster county, the same letter says Ali those .who do not attend elections, except on extraordinary occasions, are for the present Administration." The same letter says I saw a letter from Reading last evening, from a very intelligent gentleman of that place, giving a table of the strength ot the parties in the county of Berks each township was noted particularly anil separately, and the majority was tor Adams." Again The honest Germans will be with us Lebanon couuty presents the fact, that great changes are taking place in that class of our population. Ihe operation of reason and conviction is silent in its progress, but firm in its purpose. The inarch of enthusiasm is wild and clamorous, bqt embodies 110 distinct idea. If we only pu:sue a steady course—unremitted 111 our exertions —unabated in our^eal, I am convinced Pennsylvania will go lor the Administration

from

York, under

date of January 25, says I he county of York contains about oO.i,O0 inhabitants, and, in the ball-ol 1824, was almost entirely lor JacKM)o and now, whatever may be tie -.nuMings of the friends ol the Urn •ination candidates, I sjncerely i»!ve it would puxxle any man to sav whether the Administration or he G- eral would have the majoriy. l'lie iriicrest of the Adm.nisration is gaining strength from day 4.7, and that of tfr fiwral*6

This is the uniform tenor of all our information from the State oi Pennsylvania, and«:we have received and seen. roa.ny letters on the subject. 1#^

From, the liarrisburg Argus? PRESIDENTIAL QUESTION. We are now enabled^ from the. reception of a large number of letters from persons whose statesments may be relied on, to assure our patrons and the public, that the friends ot the administration are secure in the vote of Pennsylvania. They must remember, however, that one imperious duty is left to them to perform, which is to be sure to go to the polls and give in their vote. Our, triends well know that we have never been in the Inbit of giving assurances on this subject, nor do we now do it on light grounds, nor, in our opinion, coujd any man have given it, on indisputable grounds, until within one month. We shall shortly bring beore the public a statement of the votes of the counties* which will be predicated on the most minute information, and, if we mistake not, will greatly surprise the triends of Gen. Jackson. We say it will surprize them, because many of that party have been deceived. The vision of the great body ot them has not extended to the real state ot

A few of their

If we would allow ourselves to bring to light communications, which might perhaps be considered confidential, we could shew, that some of the leaders here, of what are considered strong Jackson counties, have, within one week, ex pressed despair of their own couuties.
