Sin: BY yesterdays mail | received you'
letter dated 2Sih ulI, enclosing your " Ap
pRrss TO THE PEOPLE OF the UNITED
Sr.Txsu and a "PRosPLCTUs FOR TBt
Extra GLOBE" As ] om not inclined to
become a hypocrite, and remain silent as the
second best pin which could adopt 10 re
,siu NV office, therefore conceive It to BE-
my duty, honestly and frankly, to state some
ot,ihc reasons why cannot comply with
your request. :,

which, by HE way, consider, as great II
piece OF sophlslry as was ever put together
and, 10 this covered irdy, as great an insul
10 the understandings OF the AmerIcnn
people as could possibly bo manufactured

people hear you, sir, speaking about squire
n,o,ality" and True d,mocrdcy," oil but the
wlfully ignorant VI your political lite must
stand amazed Ut your presumption. But
when you introduce that which IS pure to sup
port that which 10 impure aud corrupt II whI

II your object was only Ito vindcate the
Administration from the foul aspersions cast
upon it," your task would be both pra'se
ieorthy and an easy one as it would be a
very difficult matter for uny one to dsperSf
that which is already rotien to the core. Bul
this is evidently not your main object. De-
cause, 10 shield one object from asperslon by
aspcrsing another, is not the course an hon.
est man would take. When, therefore, we
see you aspersing the character OF General
HARRISON, as pure u patriot, and as pure
do nocrat, as ever lvcd-whose history s q

most brilliant part, too no one, except the

Be assured that such q course does not come

such principle | shall nertr submit. shall
go with no party any longer than believe
they are going right, and acting for the gen
eral good of GA parties and for the perpet'
uity and safety vi our republican inslitut ions.
That the party now in power are acting on
these principles no honest, weN-iaformcd
