sFhe foregoing extract continuing the whole Of the
political part of the letter ia true copy from Mr.
Jehelsons original letter to me, written III his
hand writing. w. B. GILES.
We desire the reader TO note particularly MIR Giles
for his violating the confidence of Mr. Jefer-
son in publishing his letter 'sIc wished to rescue Mr.
Jsifersons unsued Republican fone'--he wished to
show what Mr. Jcfcrson's real opinions of Mr.. A.
dams wereit hs object to destroy the infcrcn-
Co.'S made by the Journal, Wing and Farmer, that
N1r Jefferson in favor of Mr.. Adarns. For these
Important ends Mr.. Giles thought breach of conf
dcnce jusifable and that the only way of otecting
them, and refc,ring tls fame of Mr. leffeson was hv
publishing his letter to him of December e6h 1925
viii this honorable gentleman condcsccnd to inform
the public, why he did not Publish 10th Of Mr. JEFF
fcrsons latters? AS Lis object was to exhibit Mr.
Jofersons real opinions will he stoop from his guber
material enncncc far, to explain the reason Of
his omission to publish Mr. Jeffcrsons frs! and much
the most full and explicit letter. As & had violated
SItLbihce, ny puOliShIlJ tniC Oh December S6tli,
would it havc increased tho Gishonor to publish that
o. December 25th' But the reason is obvious enough
pow, and was at the tifac, we'll known to u.s. We
called upon MIR. Giles then as he had already incur
rcd the responsibility of publishing par OF Mr.. JEFF
ilrsons Letter in opposition to the obligation of con-
fdcnce, 20 proceed aud publish the whole correspon-
dance. We were apprisod that he had garbled GIr.
Jefcrsons publishing such portions as best
enited him ard injured Mr.. Adams. and s,1pprcssinr
such other portions calculated to represent
Mr. Adam conduct, in tSir md Just point of view.
70 these appeals, to his justice and gnaniuy Mr..
Giles preserved profound silence. lie kept alr.
