To j. McDo,ceH, Esq. Delegate from RockJridge.
SRI find in the Enquirer, the following report
of what you said on the subject of electing Coun-
cillor:
"Mr. Mcdowell stated that the relations in
which he stood to tho Executive oftbe State, and
the gentleman whose re- election was now propos-
ed. He was related TO the former, and on terms
of friendship with the latter. 1t would be re-
collected that during the last year a
change had occurred in the relations in which
those individuals stood towards each other:
and he desired it to be understood, that in giving
his vote in this election, he wished not to be con-
sidered as giving any opinion to the merits of
the difference, to which he alluded"
AS far as 1 can understand this report, which is
none OF the clearest mean TO say, that without
meddling with public questions, you found your
regard for the one gentleman stronger than your
relationship for the other: and that your vote would
be governed by private friendship, without refer
ence to any other consideration. Very amiable no
doubt! Another example of Orestes and Pylades,
Damon and Pythias, to come down to modern
times, of Randolph and Juba! But, 1 know you
to be man of understanding, and / there
fore ask you, in what School of Republican
ism You learned that Representative of the
people was at liberty to prefer his private
friendships his constituents wishes? As a
public man, acting for ten thousand freemen,
what right had you even to think about your
relationship with Floyd, or your friendship for
Daniel, when you were about TO give their vote?
i believe you also to be a man of candor
| and sure of affirmative answer, if you condo
scend to answer ut ALL permit to ask you if you
do not feel conscious that the people of Rockbridge
so deeply interested i'll that cause of which he is
distinguished Champion, would have given MIR
Rives their vote, almost with one voice and one
accord? am far from meaning any personal dis
respect by thus addressing you.

In reply to the allegation of the Telegraph that
its Editor chad good cause, Mr.. Richie kno,os,
to believe that that point (the Mission to London)
has long been the object of his (Mr. RS ambition
tho Enquire this morning opposes an unqualified
denial. DIR. Richie charges "the fslsehoed directly
TO the teeth Of its Editor" and dares him to his

looks TO any Office within the git Of the Executive,
and that it has nothing 70 give that he will ask;
nothing that he will accept.
Tho replication is full, and joins issue at all
