COMMENTS
After deyotino 50 much tune our t"o last papers
IL, Mr. Newons revelations, II is scarcely necessary
for IA 10 expatiate the topics of the preceding com
3munca,ion We are the last men, unnecessarily oj
wound the feelings of Mr. Newton. He would scarcely
this time thank for our praises upon MS integrity
A as a gentleman, or his zeal as politician
IF our s'comments" 'extraordinaty, they arc!
certainly quite extraordinary as the revelations
ghch called them forth The world was much asson,sh
I ed upon time, by "Rousseaus Confessions Ihe
present generation are destined to De eqnay surpfseo
Cat "Newtons Confessions We should have pub
shed The vhole of Mr., Newtons letter, for itGis all
TOO good to be lost il he had not appealed tn GU
ocandor and fairness. We assure hun, that We have
cot the sgbtes, desire to do him injustice, either as
politician, or es gentleman.
Every man will make allowance for the rapidty with
which his first letter thrown of-but no one can
complan Of lis want Of precision 1t is evident TO every
me who reads 1t, that Mr. Newton advises the late
Convention to come with candid declaration OF ITS
real ssntmens-to practise honesty-to proclaim ooioy
s,be,r predictions for n National Bank, Protective
sT,ri-and not like their "llustous predecessors, 10
.bntton M their opinions in their doubet and not
like them 10 EXHIBIT that want of frmness, that want
az cenaor-thal desu0n OF the best policy OF honesty
that insidlous attempt to spread their nets Tor all
sorts of BIRDS which distinguished Their address o
a1e30 (and he might have added, the address OF 1872
sN. Nsvtoo ia aware Of the dedicate duty which
stney had to perorm-in selecting the topics OF the ed
sdress-(very delicate indeed III any thing but pr-
e;n}c were at sake -brt he advises them to emoody

did DISCUSSES This is the great objection which Mr. n
urges 10 the Address of ls40and he even goes so far
in The above communication, as to 'astJy Mr. yer
for his own course, by the "repudauon to which the
aWngs had Ees0ted, in s4o of their own p,'0cp' ,
(,lr. Tyler ought TO thank Mr. Newton tor mus u.

] although be does complain Of "'ho Ifeaehsry o
The Executive") 1t is lrue' as Mr., Newton
states, that tie Republicans had complained oil
I The unairness of the Wing party in masking their &C.
canine opinions They had charged them with dupliony
q N this respect. But are no" for The fret tine
know, that the Wings had any wLere come out openly
with their principles these issues had been "n
Hv made in all The other States that The Wings c.
Ev,rc;na (he "unterriiied Common wealth, had beer
smore uncandd in this respect, than their brethren IL
other States. Still less had we understood that The
Wings of Virginia had complained of ths-saving AZ
ways Mr.. John Minor Boits-and no doubt Mr.
Newton himself, and few others of that Tx
Bin this respect, we are now happy 10 do justice
to Mr. Newton who "disapproved the address on is
es, appearance, and frequently expressed the opinion
