Mr.. SMITH,
have for some time past been an attentive
reader of the communications in your paper,
in favor of, and against, both Mr.. Merwin and
Mr.. Sterling.-In the course of this contro-
versy, hints and illusions have been made, g.
facts partially disclosed, which, il l mistake
not, go far, unless substantially cleared up, to
impeach the political character of these gen.
tlemen in the eyes of the community. l for
one, at the commencement of this contest be-
tween the friend Of Mr.. Merwin and those of
Mr.. Sterling, considered them both as honest
men: and although do not pretend to say
that they are not such now, can state that
to my knowledge, many of their former friends
now look on them with jealous eye. In the
first place number of questions were asked
by correspondent who signs himself " Kent"
and would ask Of the friends of Mr.. Merwin,
why these questions, indirectly impeaching the
character of Mr.. NJ. are not answered? As
thew now stand, without contradiction, the
presumption is, and it must be so construed
from the silence of the friends of Mr. M. that
the monosyllable "yes" will answer all of
them. On the other hand, it is insinuated
that Mr.. Sterling did not obtain his nominal
ton at New-Haven last spring by fair and
honest means, and that, "i in due time an ex-
position of facts will be laid before the public,
in relation to this affair."" 1t is expected that
Investigator will fulfil his pledge, and probe
this subject to the quick; that we may know
whether the people have been serving their
own interest, or in aiding the views of sell
fish set of men and whether or not the peO-
pie

land should each have been engaged in
expelling one of their members, for the
same cause, and that the vote against the,
expulsion should, in each case, have been
just two, against the otherwise unanimous
vote of the two Houses. The ground Of
expulsion was that the expelled members
were Ministers of the Gospel who are, by
the Constitution of each State, disqualified
from being members of the Legislature.

led is Billups; that of the Maryland mem

NAT. PRINTER,
S1R-I am one of those men who lived in
the days of Thomas Collier and Selleck Os-
born.-1 have experienced all the vexations,
anxieties and perplexities ever accompanying
party strife and after living through that con-
tention, you may be assured, sir, felt no dis
position to encounter another; and it is with
regret that see we are getting into another,
which from its very nature must be more bit
ter, more virulent, and in every way more
disagreeable than the old political controversy,
in this county; because it appears to be be-
tween individuals of the same political family.
Now as it regards both Mr.. Sterling and Mr..
Merwn these are men with whom have no
intimate personal acquaintance; but as public
characters, believe am we'll acquainted with
them. / have observed them both since the
first commencement of their public lives -
they have ever professed to be honest men,
and sir, believe both to be strictly SO; they
both profess to be Republicans, and have no
doubt they are both as genuine republicans as
we have among us; and sir, since the revolu-
ton in politics in this State, have never dis
covered any thing in either of them which
ought TO lessen in the least our confidence in
their political or moral integrity.-They may
have faults, but they are unknown to me-
1t was urged against Mr.. Sterling that he was
once Federalist, and believe in his young
er days he was one. But am older than the
writer in your paper who urges this as an OBJ
lection against Mr.. Sterling-and probably
can tell him something upon this subject which
he don't know yet.-Mr. Sterling abandoned
his federal friends. and Joined himself to the
Republicans, at time when he had fair
prospect of losing all, and gaining nothing by
SO doing he joined us when we were mi
nority, and at time when his old associates
were ruling over us with rod of iron and

gets to heaven, is to be fouted at because he
repented even though at the 18th hour.-A-

thing; to be sure there is man in your pa
per who signs himself Kent, that asks some
questions about Mr.. Merwin which do not
consider as amounting to charge against him,
and put this construction upon his piece, be-
cause make it a rule to put the most charit-
able construction possible upon the conduct of
our fellow beings; and therefore consider
him al. simply asking for information though
were disposed to believe that this Dir. Kent

people, are, if not fully acquainted with
their opposite claims, at least tired of this
war of words and SO far as the writer's
information extends, but little interested in
the result.
Really, to be plain gentlemen, we want
in newspaper something besides history
of the squabbles between the two opposite
candidates, and their friends, for office.
No PARTY SQUABBLER.
We shall be willing to fill our sheet
with more general intelligence as soon as
the election is over; until that period we
feel under an obligation to insert such local
political articles as our friends shall for
ward us, provided they are written in the
spirit of candour. SO long as we are thus
crowded with communications, we shall
give but little from our ownpen. Person
ally, we feel but little interest in the con-
test between Mr.. M. and Mr.. S.-Both
gentlemen we respect, and also many of
their respective friends and supporters;
but we do think that neither of them are
as able statesmen as many others in the
county, and at this time we think our most
able men should be sent to represent us in
the councils of the nation. Here our pal
try party divisions paralize our strength,
and weaken our influence at Washington.
The southern states which are arrayed
in deadly hostility to the national admin
istration, and for no other reason than that
a northern man is at the head of it, do not
divide upon old party lines, and quarrel
about federal and democratic politics.
They only ask, which man will most ably
support southern vies.s and southern inter-
ests, in opposition to those ofother sections
which man will fight the hardest in the
contest between northern and southern
candidate for the Presidency. Virginia,
Georgia, and Kentucky, old democratic
states, are now represented in the Senate
by distinguished federalists, simply because
such men can most ably oppose the ad-
ministration. We wish to see an union
here and such an union as will select the
best man for epresentative-the man who
will most ably represent our wishes at
Washington. For instance, such man as
David S. Boardman, Samuel Church, ia
bez w. Huntington, or many more that
might be named. Such course would be
wise, and if change must be made, we
wish that the most able man in the county
might be selected as the substitute.
