You nccuse me Of insratituds to my county.
THIS is positively false. There are not twenty
men in the county to whom | am under the least
obligation, and not one TO whom | am under any
political obligation. Had you known more of mo.
you could have saved yourself this charge. You
say "publlc opinion is not always formed hy such

Misrepresentation on the county, know not, but u

all hazards, TO 90 sny length 10 curry favor and
win smile. Aeain-you say, 81 predict, that
whenever "a LouisIan" is promoted it will be by
a caucus, unless he changes retracs his princi-
pies" Let me inform y0u that would thousand
times die in obscurity, from tenacity to an
honest opinion, than rise TO eminence nt the sacr-
fec of hnnor conscience and principle; for these are
the sacrifices which conceive a man makes who
changes his opinions from any thing but conve- |
ton that they are wrong.
