To the Editors Of the Lynchbuyg Virsiniaa.
GENTLEAIEN-ii is matter OF deep regret, that
we should suffer our feelings so far TO influence IL
asto induce a belief III the truth OF supported
charges, against those who are entitled to our es
iesm and confidence, because they differ from US
IN opinion. In relation TO The Presidential candi-
dates These remarks grow out OF some obser-
yatots contained III The late papers, in which the
political integrity of Mr.. Speaker Stevenson is
prematurcly denounced, in consequence Of the
charge brought against him BY Mr Sloane of Ohio.
Tor has the attack upon him stopped here. Even
his talents are sought to I've deprecated. Surely
our cause requires no such means for ITS support;
and we ought not so far, ~ follow the example of
.lose who are opposed TO us or the Presidential
question, as 10 be induced TO denouncc one whom
're have known so long, s. who has stood so high
Tor moral and political integrity. without fair
rnd candid investigation OF the charge. | differ

ion oil his IS ORTIZ, and his intending honesty, to
credit the charge until il is established by better
evidence than the assertion OF IN individual Of

proved by more than one political opponent who,
lor any thing we know to the contrary, may
be an aspirant after office, who seeks by uiis
means to attain his object. As 10 Mr.. Stevenson ;

proinpiness and decision which he unlorrul, dis
played, as well a. his dignity Of manners; TOR can
II be Tor moment doubted, that requires talents
Of no ordinary stamp, to sustain with dignity the

OCCASIONALLY, into the expression OF ihberal sent

terment shall be allsyed, aud the feelings which
grow out OF 1t have passed away, Virginia wil
look to Mr. Stevenson as one Of her future ofna

she has so long contendcd NOR will she look Il,
