From Niles Repister.

Mr.. O'CoNNELL.-In recent discus
sion of the slavery question, in the Brit
ish house of commons, Mr.. O'Connell
is reported as having said
"He would speak of the Americans
as those political hypocrites, who, while
they talked of the glory of freedom, still
unblushingly continued the hateful sys
tenn of slavery in its most hateful form.
He hoped that Great Britain would set
the Americans an example of true free
dom, and stigmatise their conduct in
continuing slavery as tyranny and rob
berry,"
OF We regret that Mr.. O'Connell
should thus, at once, have made such
ignorant and ill-natured remarks. He
ought to have known, that, long before
the American revolution, the traffic in
slaves was denounced by our ancestors.
and that "his majesty Of England" then
our king, was most humbly and earnest
ly entreated to forbid the casting of hv-
ing merchandise upon our shores; wretch
ed negroes, feloniously obtained in AT.
RIGA. And he ought also to have known,
that, at the earliest practicable period,
we prohibited the slave trade, and soon
after rendered it piracy. And in his
sweeping denunciations, he should have
recollected, that large majority of ''the
: Americans" have entered solid pro.

LANCASTER, Aug. "a 1888.

To THE Hon. L. P. MOORE:
Sir; You propose by your letter of the
23d inst. which has just been handed to
me, in the first place that each OF US sh'ld
resign our claims to a seat in Congress,
and that another election should be held
at an early day.
Were TO be governed exclusively by
the personal desire of obliging you, your
proposition should be acceded to without
moments hesitation. But from what has
occurred at Harrodsburg since the cleo
ton, the whole case has been made to as
sumo an attitude of higher public impor
lance than il originally did, and it is now
entirely beyond my controul.
The decision by one of the Sberiffs,
that he had the right to withheld his poll
book, and not to include it in the count,
thereby precluding an entire county from
giving its voice in the election OF mem
Der to Congress from this district, is so
novel, SO unprecedented, SO extraordinary
that | cannot consent to do any act, which
would seem to ratify or establish the val
idlty OF that decision, $50 far as am con
cernedo either expressly, or by any sort
OF implication whatever. If we were to
submit the contest to the people of the
district again and again, what assurances
could we or the public have, that some
one OF the Sheriffs would not thereby de,
feat the will Of the majority of the people
OF the district. To my mind, this new
right asserted and exercised by the Sher-
itf of Lincoln is more important to be set
tled,than that of who should have the seat
in Congress. If such be the true doctrine
thought to be known by the public as soon
as possible.
You propose in the second place, that
each of us should resign our claims and
mutually withdraw from the new canvass
as candidates for Congress.
would rather not withdraw, can see
no good to be effected by it. Having Of
fered for the seat, if elected, want it,
but if you are elected, you ought to hold
it, and so far from wishing it, in that event,
should never murmur, but acquiesce
with The most entire cheerfulness in the
decision of the majority made in your be,
half Believing, however, that have
been chosen fairly by majority of the
votes given at the election, and feeling
disposed to see the strictest scrutiny into
the whole matter, and close examination
of every vote polled, should such be your
desire, cannot yield my consent to the
proposition to withdraw.
beg you to be assured that am very
sorry, that it is wholly out of my power to
agree to either of the plans you suggest
under existing circumstances.
With great respect,
Your obedient servant,
r. p. LETCHER.
