OFSenator CoRwIN, Of Ohio, has written a
letter to a gentleman in Lafayette, which was
published in the Journal of that place. We call
attention TO the following paragraphs. The
first one shows up the absurd charge of his re-
fusing supplies to the army in Mexico, at the
time his vote given against the further pros
ecution of the war; The locofocosalways wake
up the wrong passenger when they pounce up
on the ''wagon boy" of Ohio. He knows how
to give them the silk, knotted and twisted
When it cracks, no wonder they set up howl.
He saws:


81 see the Democratic presses prate about
refusing to feed and clothe the brave men nOlc
in the field. Do not these praters know that
it was not for that purpose we were asked for
supplies? Did the President want twenty
eight millions of money, and ten regiments
more of men to bring Taylor back to Cdmdrgos
No, he tolds us he wanted them for the further

him to fight in such war.


| Had the President asked for money to bring
home our army after the taking of Monterey, and
to send commission of one or more of the
first men in America TO treat for peace, | would
i have given my vote with more hearty goodwill
for such bill, than | ever gave in my whole

these were the insane and barberous aspirations

Now, as an act of justice towards mucf

to publish this explanation of the vote referred


to. But will they do it?-State Jour.
