1t is the attribute of humanity and Of mercy, TO
sympathze with the afflicted and, shall exercise
it, when ! condole and sympathize, most sincerely
with the editors of the National intelligeneer and
their New York Correspondent whose piety and SEN
sibtes appear to be deeply afflicted, because the
Broadway Tabernacle, in this city was, they
say, deseerated," by being made the receptacle
Of the Great Tyler Mass Meeting that recently
held within its walls. From the remonstrances Of
the editors of the lntellgencer and their correspon-
dent, il would seem that they are of opinion that
building used place of religious worship should
not be profaned by. having political assemblage
within its pale.
| Very WELL masters Your argument may be
sound, and your conclusions may be very holy and
pous. But, while you complain, you should reco
Iect that the very enormity you deprecate, not
long.sinoe perpetraed by your own party.

and erudte philosopher, Jehro Coffin, Esq, of Nan

Samuel Patch and Zephaniah Coon, Esqs.-common

Coon and the "Dew ailments of the National Inteni
gencer and of their able New; York correspondent,
satisfy me that the philosophy of Messrs. Coffin,
Patch, and Coon should not be sDeezed at STILL as
hold it to be my bounden duty to relieve the suf
ferngs Of the distressed, and enact the part of
comforter, beg leave to inform my pious friends of
the lntelligencer that if the Broadway Tabernacle
has indeed been desecrated, the Immaculate Wing
party opened the door," and laid the first stone to
the superstructure of the original SIM of the Ia
benace dissertation"
In the month Of September, 1912, party of Wings
from Washington, living in :" h endal Green" and
members OF the American Congress, among whom
were that pious Saint Mr.. Edward Stanly of North
Carolina, Ex-Governor Morehead, of Kentucky
Brother" Fillmore, of New York, Leyerett Salton-
STALL of Massachusetts,, Hiram Hunt and some five
and twenty others
Saints in Grape
arrived in this city, and solicited the Wings proper
! and improper, to receive them with houish of
rumpets, and listen to their defence of and eulogies
on, the action of the Wings during the Especial ses-
sion" The call of
"The ruined spendthrift no longer proud"
was lis ened to, and the whole Wing family of the
city and county were ordered to be in attendance
The reception of their brother Wings, was to be a
grand affair and was to be constructed on a scale
commensurate with the dignity of the occasion!l!

opution," the Broad,cay Tabernacle was hired, and
within its walls a band iof emagogues-Whigs-
ultra Whigs-possessed Of all the talent all the viz
tue, and all the intelligence Of the Union belched forth
the grossest obscenty, and ribadry, and profanity,
mingled with the fumes of something more potent
than hard cider, to the neable and unuterable dis.
gust of every decent man who witnessed a scene
so diabolibal. Mr.. Edward stanly, Of North Ca
rolina, made what he called speech, abu
sv- Of the President and intcrlardcd !.
81 such Outrageous beastliness and profanity, that
even his Wing listeners cried out shame, shame, and
in the eervescence Of their better feelings Kissed him
These facts were registered and published by the
Wings themselves, and it is hoped that the revival of
the "reminiscences will in some small degree soothe the
lacerated feelings Of those amable and worthy gen
temen, who shed tears as big'as Chenango potatoe
over the dissertation of the Broadway Tabernacle by
Tyler mass meeting.
The Broadway Tabernacle, by the way, is public
building, and like Exeter Hail. London is let by il,
proprietor for any and every purpose that is not Of
fensIVe to the public morals, and is more a church
than the Hall Of The United States House of Repre-
seniatives.
The eoroners inquest, to investigate the murder
oil Coriies yet in session. Nothing definite is eli
cited. 1t is quite certain that neither Mr. nor Mrs
Cotton had any direct agency in the assassination.
1t is not improbable that the murderer will escape
There are many who are Of opinion that CorIics wa,
shot by female whom he kept as mistress, and
who was induced TO the deed by Jealousy provoked
by his known intimacy with Mrs. Cotton.
Yours truly,
