DUTEE J. PEARCE.

The Rhode-Island Republican Of yes
terday contains u long communication
signed by Dutee j. Pearce, purporting
to be an answer to the charges Of politi-
cal dishonesty made against him in the
columns of our last paper-but which in
point Of fact, is virtual admission Of the
truth Of those charges. The pnenviable
situation which that man now holds in the
public estimation, is such as will not per-
NIT him to shuttle them off by saying that
he sis authorised" by Mr. D'Wolf, and
che is authorised" by Mr. Sprasue, SC.
&C., to make deniaIs in their names, when
it was in his power to obtain Certificates
from each asd oil Of those gentlemen du-
ring the past week, especially when he
put up at the same house with them at
Kingston, while the Legislature was in
Session, if they could have given him
such Certificates as would have prompt
iy relieved him from his difficulty. In
relation to Mr. Pearce we shall not at
present trouble ourselves further than TO
say, that the gentleman who furnished us
with those charges against him, although
not, as has been stated, the editor Of this
paper, is ready to substuntiate the truth
Of every one Of them, even in Court Of
Law, If Mr. Pearce should think proper
to require it Of him. We would also in
quire, in conclusion, why Mr. Pearce did
not obtain Certificates from Judge Eddy,
Hon. Mr. Burgess, Judge Durlce, Col.
Anthony, SC. &c. whose names were fur
nished him, with the view of giving him
an opportunity to disprsve the charges
made against him, il he really was as
guiltless as he has declared himself to be
