Tho Edit.rs Of the Independent have tins moment pa
ced n my hand, the letter from Mr. Rain, herewith On
closed claiming Tor himself whatever meut may at
tach 10 the authorship Of Revolution IN Disguise.
which, in m, late letter to the Puhc, asertod 10 the
pen II Mr. Upshur and hasten 10 requested yau 10 give
II early place IN yuur paper in order 10 arrest as far
as sable any injurious impr, that may be made
upon the public mind relative /, Nr shur's si,ws a,
as they be gathered iomthc article thus ascnbed
/ 10 him.
few DAYS after Nr Us frs, card 10 Mr.. WISE,
received pamphlet couia ming that article rpm highly
rspec ,ahc gentleman residing IN the vicinity Of Judge
| L ishur--onc who f4r many years knew member
ui the Virginia Legislature and who Was supposed 10 be
familiar with Judge | IS oplnDns.-and at the lot Of
thu page he wrote, by NJ lpshnr, now Secretary 81
the Navy And upon his authority ascthcd II 10 hls
pen Il was the first time had ever seen the article
and nrjn showing to gentleman who had been upon
terms Of tho Ct scs intimacy with Mr. pshuf, he pro
n1unccd II urhrs latinply as his hcci that 1t was the
production of Mr. CpsIur Mr. L. has. ! understand,
been from the time Of It's publication the repnied an
thor aud suppose only because there recognised
throughout the piece an entire conformity TO his own o
pinuus.
However promptly and chccrully withdraw every
part OF late letter having reference o"Rcvonilon III
Disguise" and rest the upon the letters Of Mr. liar
rs5n Mr. BaAtuu, and Nr Johnston 10 establish what
had undertaken 10 prove to wit, that MI pshur
at one time an OPEN unqualified. and boosted advocate
l1r dss 4ulI,n Of the Union But Mr.. Ipshur has
never expressed the opinions quoted from lesolnion III
DISGUISE, rs 10 the necessary means OF carrying on the
Government, there Is too much reason 10 heese that
they are a,irdpo by the present heads Of the Govern
ncnt Mr.. lausjn's letter alone IS sufficient for
all my purposes and all the negative testimony that
can be collected together DUNG Mr.. upshurs lifetime
cannot lnyalidate It,
Mir Runin, however is mistaken IN surprising that
therr any IN the quotations from that book. Tie
consequence attached tothc opinions hathey should
have come from Cabinet Minister. The proof, To
the original allegation, is not wtah tncd N tie least de
gree 1t was not (asn my last letter 1t was stated
founded On his Writings, but his conversations. ony
! throw that IN rs conllmaury testimony.
! Let n,t ,r ,a,,,,, alud lie diverted from the true
question at issue by THIS comparatively nnlmrorlam 81
NJ. into which have lecn led by friend. Few ofthe
papers that have have published the letter
but like the Mad have conlenlcd themselves with
the publication Of the letters # the gentlemen named
hove, docminS the charge as oycrw henng sustained by
! them.
Other writings a Mr. Upshur would have been refer
red to IN the first instance, bat for the receipt of the pa
per question, They will be hereafter reiofcd to- II
should become necessary; from which the facts will
appear, Tar the Charge Of dsunon is concened.-
The only qucsonto be decided Is. does Mr. Philip liar
rson tell tho tGthl And IA there man in the whole
country to be found say hc he does believe hun!
