 and unjuslilia5lo attack npon large namber of Highly respectable gentle men. II the charges preferred wrreltght Iahd could have no eilctt-- if the tesii-
 mony offered se irrelevant oritnmate- raj, wherefore tae necessity of abusing or itssaihng the witnesses? There could have been noHc. B.d the Delegate think fl necessary to his fiata9 eleeiioa. that he should involve hinself ard eth lers in violent personal difficulties? Bid De, indeed, think that violence and disorder in our community, created the proper atmosphere for his prosperity an1 political existence? Or, did he think, that he hae a pack of hifeiiag de pedents-a kennel of animals fed hy his hand, who at his bidding would promptly sally forth 10 protect him from the just indignation of number of wfongcd4 and outraged indislduals?- Wlia!cFer he might have thought on this subject, feel assured Ire wonld be

Or, were, indeed, his motives entirely different; and was i necessary thai he shoul thus assaiI them fer the purpose of destroying the weight Of their testimony, and thereby save his friend and relation from i'm lpeacbnciit. This wonld shew, If such was ihe fact, that lhe { 'oi. had ereat re- gard for the means lie used to accom- plisY his objects.
 laoac paragraph of his speech, thc
 Delegate eHdeaNors 10 say, wi4h some i adircetion aad eireunloc9llon, that ]
 Fas a reckless gambler, and q ffcqaen- ter of public gambling houses Il he really meant tosay what is tobe inferred
 rom the speech, he uttered deliberately
 and knowingly what he knew to be islse. He has not only moi been inthc
 habit ofsoeijg ine at such places, but
 veil knew It was not my hahit to ire. Qucnt such. His remarks in relation to
 every individual named, and believe
 without asipgie exception, arc unjust md in the main. slardcrous.
 His remark Of Col. Fowler, is eer- ts,iAly upjnst, aad was inteoded to mis- =Ercprcsent him.
 His remarks Of Air. Howell are afa-
 fair. Why does he pretend 10 have a knowledge ofsome private transaction,
 affecting his standing, without deelar- ing II The pahlic in which he lives
 givcs him credit and standing. Col.
 Sevier should feel himself bound to do 1 the same or assign his reasons.
 ] Judge I. Scott, whose high integrity
 aid manly deforlment, commands the
 respect aud esteem of all who know
 him. must also be assailcd. He mus ! EaIso be referred 10 the misfortGnes O Ihis life. He hts always responded te lthc laws of his country. They have Fheld him guihless. What, then, cal Iour Delegate mean? Boeshe intene 10 accuse him with crime, orwhat ha' l he to do with those events. The triba nals ofjustiee have retnrnedllim to So -liely unceAsnred and unscatlied.
 The Delegate seems 10 have mad Equite an effort to reach MajorH. Levi ,. and Gen. H. Robinson. They vef f not witnesses against Judge Johnson
