FOR THE W SUN. Extract of a letter from the maw tSJ the moo iff to a gentleman of this place. " I have been too often undci a cloud eince my last, to say much ; and besidesi my disk has been so unusually dark thai When relieved of all obstruction, my eyes

Could o jIv bear to take an occasional

npec of your Legislature, without omitig painful.

I can however inform you, that your

nparallclled governor Jennings is sav

ed for the present, by a majority of two fotcs in the lower house : and one of them was Mr. Joseph Warner 1 I The Committee appointed to enquire into that governor's conduct, brought in a tfort of hair-going, half-limping, half-nothing report, 1 suppose to ascertain the pulse of the members generally, whereupon a motion was made, stating that it was inexpedient to prosecute the enquiry ; and behold ! it was adopted 15 to 13. Tdus the matter sleeps in that house ; but can it possibly sleep in the mind of your citizens ? If so, your constitution and laws are as blank paper, or worse, for they restrain your citizens, Svhile your governor may, it appears, tend them with impunity to suit himself. The constitution and laws which regula.e and govern our inhabitants of the Moon are not mutable in that way ; fiere truth is made manifest, and the public good our governor's rule of conduct. Let me, my dear sir, entreat you to influence your fellow citizens to adopt our mode, and to render it obligatory upon the next governor they elect, which if I do not err, will be in August next. '1 sincerely conrauwjs your state up On the re-election 5(en Waller Taylor to the e ate of thV fc States. The Vote stood for Gen rEafthyJQ 1 . for Judge Scott 1 5, and for Judge Blackford . Why Mr. BlackforX suffered his name and influence, if he Had any, to be tised by the opponents of Gen. Taylor, is question for your citizens ; and when they begin to reflect upon it, tell them from me, our supreme judges are men who would scorn to hrve their names u med for anv imnroner nurnose and are

II men of great knowledge, and great i . 'ii

unienenucnce l nope However, it win

found that Judge Blackford disap-

ed of the improper use made of his w I - 1 .

e. m congratulating you upon tnai

event, must tell you it is a glorious result ; and when I eve some of your other public characters it presents an omen of better times Judge Hunt of Jefferson, remarked with truth and energy in allusion to this election, u the American farms triumphed as they ever have and ever will when Gen. Taylor is in the field M "Let me also congratulate you upon the election of G W Johnston Esq. judge r vour circuit. The vote stood for Mr. Johnston 22, for Mr Blake, f the late fudge) 9 ; the rest scattering. These election of vour legislature, augur I think, 'oo favorably it is certainly too much for those who are so inclined to do pood. to be placed down amones you, in

ions where their inclination and a-

mav he exercised for the general I'l- 1 . ,

I think the sooner the better, after Hiey dispose of business now before the- M " P. S. A certain bit? man of vour plare hs been at Corydon all this time, an' pufTintr on all occasions without effect. What a pity !"
