To The Editors; Oct 81.
Being present at the Democratic Association
last Saturday, al the Exchange Hotel, and after
having heard with attention the gentleman from
New York speak, you, Sir, made statement ana

bi,ed on or before the Election of our next Presi-
dent for certain mysterious and ridiculous pur-
poses, which plan and intrigue. by certain Com
muee favorable TO The election of Henry Clay,
and against James Il. Polk was formed. And
Won. Sir. called on any gentleman in the Hall,
U1ir or pela0cy,1, 10 give information, n am
th,u couid in order Ia ascertain certainly If such
waS actually the case. Dr. c., OF The crv oil
Richmond replied. as enc OF the Wing party. and
observed ,ba, the laborinc class Of people in Ger
many used a similar bread and thai The horses,
also were fed with such, but did not or would
not, alter repeated application, publicly, br YOU,
Sir, made make, in substance, $50 other statement
or explanation. l. am, myself German by birth,
have been a long time living in Virginia, and
considered myself an American consequently,
have right to express my humble opinion -
have. also, visited The principal cities Of Europe,
and have travelled through various parts OF Ger
many. Prussia, Austria, Saxony and Switzer-
land, at leas, as much il not more, than DR.. c.,
and mus, say, with due respect 10 his opinion,
that he is in nsecsnre mtstahen. !, therefore, Tor
me. will give vou Sir, according TO my feeble
conceplion, an explanation, and Of somewhat dill
fcrent description, in justice TO the German popu-
aii0n ec,er0lly as il respects the bread spoken OF
in the different parts Of Germany. mostly used by
the lahcr;Dr class II is ma !e Of rye meal ground
roughly. without being (hul little if ANY, boiled
in the mill, like orr corn meal; has dark ap-
pearance: is sometimes preferred, not only BY the
laboring class hut also by others and is consider
ed very healthy; for evidence, look at the Ger
mans when they first arrive: Though, again, in
some parts of Germany, the rye meal is boiled,
like our own -four. for bread. As TO feeding
horses with that kind Of bread, as the Doctor
observed. | will state the manner and reason,
Of what | have seen and taken often notice, in
the different parts Of Germany, why small por-
lions of bread are given 10 horses. Travelling
sometimes with great expedition, either by extra
post or Otherwise when no time for horses 10
eat in the stables can be allowed bread of the
rouehcr kind is cut in small pieces, and given
10 the horses by which drink may he given
them with less danger. The animals feel them
selves regalcd, proceed on again, without delay,
10 their respective distance hut never did scr,
or hear, tina this kind of bread which the labor
ing class use in Germany was given 10 horses
for tier TeSnlor f0od
have also been in England and Ireland: and
there the lahoring class use o0fmcci, not only loI
bread hut for different other purposes, and which
is nothing like as good as The black, rough rye
bread before mentioned, as have cal Of b0ti, and
indeed was compelled for years, one day in the
week, on board Of British ship of war, to eat a
kind OF mush made Of oatmeal (called in the Bri
tish Navy percue) Of the most disaereeabe flavor
and taste. Dr. c.. coming himself from that par
of the country, will 70 doubt sanction ard reco
cct the use OF oatmeal there in piacc Of Tic rousi
re mcdi i'll GcrnlanM II was my intention to ash
him, most respectfully, CATER he had given dc
scripiion OF rdt the laboring class of people aGC
horses eat in Germany 10 state and relate al>e
lchnt the laboring class OF people in Ireland sub
sisted ppon, as this information would have beer
equally necessary; but was prevented. Should
the contents Of the letter concerning those barrels
OF bread, made ofmaierials as represented be true
| consider it an insult 10 every Virginian, and al
tie same time 10 all naluralzed citizens, no matter
from what par; Of the globe they came"
