NORWICH, Dec 26, 1888.
DEAR SIR Yours of the 2ls inst. is duly recev
ed say honor TO the Hon. VIM. G. RlvEs! Honor
to his noble and patriotic remarks in the Senate on
the Goth inst! Honor TO his fearless independence
his political integrity-his boldness-his contempt
of the discipline of "lhe party"--his denunciaons
of Executive power-and his manly defiance Of its
thunders and its terrors! You know am, and ever
have been, Waig of the sraiteSt sect" and of un-
compromising principles. have warred against
the admin istration from the days Of the commence
ment of Gen Jacksons administration to the present
time-against its policy and against its measures
Time was, when should have rejoiced in the defeat
OF Mr. RvEs for the station of U. S. Senator. But
that time is past | most anxousy now desire to
him reelected by the Wings and Conservatives
desire it, because believe both justice and erpcdi-
ency imperiously require it | desire it, because
believe it will be the means Of wrestling Virginia
from the hands of the spoilers" desire it, because
believe it will tend TO conca,e preudices and 10
unite all who are opposed to the administration. |
desire it, because, believing it to be right in ITSELF
believe, also, tina. it will be one important step to-
wards the orerthr0v of Van BIZ sn. And do hope
and trust, that the feeling in Richmond entertained
towards Mr.. RIvEs by few prominent Wings, will
yield TO public opinion in this matter and to the inte-
rests of the whole country. We shall re-elect Mr.
TALLMADGE. This point is settled. Public opinion
has settled it. hope the Wings Of Virginia will be
equally liberal in their feelings. That they cW be-
cannot and will not permit myself TO doubt.
