with him in opinion? we differ only in the mode in
which the same thing is to be effected. While.
with M. concur entirely, that harmony is neces-
sary, absolutely necessary, and requisite TO enable
he democratic party TO maintain their ascendency,
cannot believe that that was to have been, or
would be accomplished by refranng from invest-
eating the measures that have taken place on the
contrary, conceive that the people can only become
united by exposing the iatTigues and drttceS that
have been resorted to, to disuHite them. 1t APP
pears to me, this has been the object OF those who
have supported the measures OF the majority, while
those who have defended he minority, have never
met the question which is now before The people.
openly ma'Juiiy, and fairly, but have descended to
misrepresentation, conceahhent and qujbbting, to
throw dust into their eyes and put Out OF view the
real and simple matter on which the people are to
form heir Judgment.
Can this ue more fully exemplifed than in the
essays Of Suly! he obligingly calls the people poor
credaL0us people, and that the majority the
tools and miserable StareS OF DR.. Black and yielded
to him the same obedience that Staups do to their
masters and he characterizes the acts OF this ma
jority as founded in ilSolence and impUdence, be-
cause they balloted for DR.. Black second time and
yet he affords the evidence, to shew his own misera
BILE misrepresentation, well as the cOncpaAaPRt Of
facts which, while they comIl etely dlsprove the
statement he has made also evnce that the epithets
O. insotence ard impndpHce really aud truly apper
tain to the minority, and not to the MAORI " who
were anxious to discharge their duty, so as to pre-
serve the preponderance and integrity of the demo
cratic party, and who Showed no pertihaci0us all
herence to their own candidate as Suy represents
out directly the reverse. Take the facts as they
really happened.
When after the majority had balloted for Dr.
Black Tie secosd time, aud they found the minority
Of three persisted in voting tor Mr. Read who as
Fair Play acknowledges, they had selected as their
candidate before they tett their fire sides for
D0var, then il was ina, Dr. Cochran was deputed
by The majority 10 wait Oh Mr. Dupont, to offer col
give up Dir. Black il they would do so with MIR
Read, and then It that this honorable c0nciiq-
ting proposition was jected by this minority, Mr
Dupont saying they were sent by their constituents
to vote fot Mr.. Read, and they would vote for o
one else. This offer, so truly dgnifed, SO truly
characteristic OF men who discarded all sectional
feelings h4s been NEST uRparaoRabty, most impro
perty concealed altogether by Sully, in order to mis-
tead and dcceire the people. Let me ask is pos
slbe to bring forward a more convincing proof tol
sheW the tue light in which Sully himself viewsl
the conduct of his frends--he knows full well
their actions will no. bear the touchstone Of day
hight Therefore he has attempted to bolster theml
up in darkness and conceament This is some
thing like the wallings and lamentations of Charles
ODILtIcuL II
was bringing on himself to two Of the representa-
ives from Newcastle county, who told him, as he!
snned with his eyes open he richly deserved i'll
although SulY inSotety and impAdentlg styles the
majority StaUeS oil Or. Black, vet we find from hisl
own statement that when Dr. Black proposed the
caucus should pledge themselves vote for the can
dldate who had the ma ority Of votes previous tol
balloting, that on the motion of Mr. Dupont, ,hsl
Serc'te majority decided against him, and resolved
they would ballot first and take that question after
wards. Now what proof Of Siarery this was and,
what Sercue tool II establishes SulIy to be Ohl
shame, where is thy blush But thus i, is, that hyD
ocrites always cap the climax OF folly and prove the
holloWness OF that cause they attempt TO defend by
Nlt0nttnSty exposing ii in all its native deformity
Let the foregoing ]actS speak, l again repeat lorI
themselves. he people will be at no loss to apply
them, aud believe, their exposure will go very far
TO procure that harmony which is SO desirable inl
the democratic party. ConceaLmeat is fit only for
the gatty there are now obnoxious laws mol
arttul exeiements to prevent fair and calm en-
curry on the part OF the people and when they ac
cody and dspasslona they never fail TO decide
with justice. There will be Geo Read, ir. be.
