Nv Dear Sir:-I have received your letter OF
this day, and have no difficulty IN giving you a
prompt and unequivoca answer 10 the questions
presented to me.
am member Of the Democratic party, and
have been so from nv youth | was first called
into public life by Mr.. Jefferson, thirty SIX years
ago, and an firm believer IN the principles laid
down 10y him. From the fifth as taught and re.
ceived in his day, have never swetYed, single
instant.
So much for my general sentiments.
With respect TO a National Bank, think the
feelings and experience of the country have de-
cided against it, and that no such ns'huiiou
should be chartered by the General GoTernmen I
| will add, that my residence IN France, ana a
careful observation Of the state Of hat nation has
satisfied me that, while degree Of credit is high
w useful 10 the business concerns Of a country !;
a sound specie basis is essential TO ITS permanent
prosperity. With great regard, | am, dear sir,
truly yours, LENiS CAoo.

the Declaration against ia, pleaded the General
Issue-that is, Not Guilty of libeling Mr.. Cooper,
at the same time fully admitting that we had pub
lshed all that he called our libels on him, and de-
string to put in issue only the fact Of their being
not being libels, and have the verdict turn that
issue. But Mr. Cooper told the Jury (and we
found, TO our cost, that this was New-ierk Su
preme and Circuit Court law that By pleading
Not Guilty ace had legally admitted onrselreS TO
be Guity-that all that was necessary for the
plaintiff under that plea was to put in our admis
sion publication, and then the Jury had nothing
to do but to assess the plaintiffs damages under
the direction of the Court. In short, we were
made to understand that there was TO way under
Heaven-we beg pardon: under New-Yorl Su
preme Court LAWN which the Editor of a news
paper could plead to an action for libel that the
matter charged upon him as libelous was not in its
nature or intent libel but simply statement, &C
cording to the best of his knowledge and belief, Of
some notorious and every way public transaction,
or his own honest comments thereon and ask the
Jury to decide whether the plaintiffs averment or
his answers thereto be the truth! To illustrate the
beauties of the perfection of human reason
always intending New-York Circuit and Supreme
Court reason-on this subject, and to shew the
perfect soundness and pertinence of Mr.. Cooper's
logic according TO the decisions Of these Courts,
we will give an example:
Our Police Reporter, say this evening, shall
bring ia on his chronicle of daily occurrences the
following:
"a ba.chet-faced chap, with mouse-coored vhiskels
who gave the OF John Smith, was brought in by
wa:ehman who iound him lying drunk the gutter Alter
Suitable admonition from the Justice asd o payment of
toe usual fine, he was discharged
Now our reporter, who no more than we, ever
before heard of ais John Smith, is only ambitious
90 as his duty correctly and Thoroughly, to make
MS description accurate and graphic, and perhaps
to protect better men who rejoice in the coguo-
men of John Smith from being COMPOUNDED with
this one in the popular rumor of his mssdvensure.
