Mr.. Edi'or-In the revolution OF the political
wheel, YOU have no doubt been surprised to find
the Telegraph plump alongide the Alexandria Ga
zette. Stranger things than this have happened,
although must confess more remarkable phe-
nomenon has not occurred in my time. You pur-
sue, however, proper course, since perceive,
although YOU use the information he brings from
the adverse party, you claim no fellowship and
hold no communion with the editor of that paper.
1t is not right. however, to forget old scores. |
am thankful to the Editor of the Telegraph for
the damnatory facts he has adduced against the
President and his coad tutors. and think he de-
serves credit for the stand he has taken; bat !
never shall pin my faith to his sleeve in any poll
teal matter, thinking of him now as | always
have. He has been the calumnldtOr, OF the best
men in this cOuntry-has shown himself unprin-
ciped and mercenary-has deIved in the bitches
of party, and never expressed contrltlon for III,
thousand sins against truth, justice, and virtue.
For these causes am anxious that we should not
soil our hands by touching too Often his garments
we must not forget who we are dealing with.
