ildDlInlly OF DIS ClldFaCltr.
The object however, of these hasty remarks,
is merely, to show that the Judges proof is Ell
ther not to be relied on, or is not conclusive.
For this purpose, let US suppose what may be
as strictly true as possble--that member Of
Congress had shown to Mr.. Cook the eX-
tract of the letter in question, without giving
the writer's maine; that Mr. Cook had pre-
vailed upon him to send it to the press for pub
LEGATION that upon its producing more excite
ment than had been anticipated, the member
referred to had expressed his regret at what
had been done aud that Mr. Cook, having ad-
vsed it, had thought himself in honor bound
to take upon himself the responsibility OF it
Might he not have said all that is contained
in Mr.. Bates certificate with perfect truth !!
And if any man doubt that this statement is
founded on fact, let him account for the Cir
cumstance of Mr. Cooks not being known in
any way, in relation to the transaction, "till
some dqes after the Publication Of tie letter.
He did not hand it to the Editor.-Some one
else therefore, had previous agency init that
is not explained.
But even, supposing Mr.. Cook wrote the ex-
tract, it contained nothing but the truth, and
any man may publish the truth, without I'M
posing upon himself any obligation to give up
his name, and therefore has right to conceal
it. Unfortunate indeed, would it be, in free
governments, if this were not the case. He
might therefore, as properly assume the cha
racter of citizen of Ohio, as Mr.. Writ did that
ola British spy, and an Old Bachelor, or as even
James Hall has done that of the noble " Bru-
tus." The only point in such casesis whether
the publication be true.
The part of the letter to which the Judge
objects is, "that his appointment to examine
the land offices had excited general disappro-
baton in Ohio" This was not only true rs il
related to Ohio, but it is also t,ne as it relates
to this state, and every other one in the Union
1t is not, nor can ii be justified any where
But the suppostion as to Mr. Cooks having
wrote the letter, is wholly gratuitous. There
would be no harm in it, if he had done so, but
there is not title Of evidence to establish it.
