post paper Of Inc l2thinsr sailed the Black River
Journal edited and published, as appears by Mr..
Greene, at Wuterown, in this State. In the lead
ing editorial of The date above mentioned the follow
ing passage is surrounded, suppose for my especial
notice with black lines - The naturalized vote
Watertown is reported 10 have about 200, near
| ly ail oi them Loco Focos. The same is true, we
believe of the nGturslized vote in all the towns in
the county. We have anticipated this result since
the tour through this part Of the State OF Bishop
| Hughes, in August ard September last"
You will be able TO judge of the extent of false
hood assumed in the statement and insinuated with
the dessnof doing me injury, when shall have in

This the whole Of my interference 10 the polit-
ical contest then going on, and know net what ex
cuse the Editor uf the Black River Journal offer
for the calumny which he has had the meanness TO
insinuate, but not the moral courage to assert in
plain language.
He anticipated the resul,"! From the above
statement you will perceive that SO far as arm con-
cerned he had no cause for The anticipation. We
know that the ancieDts were accustomed 10 prog
nesticaie defeat victory, from such trivial things
as The flight oil birds, and ii must he that Mr. J.
Green, Editor Of the Black River Journal by
similar process would play modern sooth.sayer
from the mere jogging Of mail coach, or the per-
sons inside of II.
SIR, will take this opportunity, with your per-
m!ssicn 10 say that IL Is misfortune for great
party to have small adv vocates-that in such a case
lille minds do infinite mischief 10 large and noble
principles-that such men as Mr. Green have done
more Injury 10 the Wing parry than il wonld be
possible or all the Catholic Bishops in the United
States TO accomplish, even if they had tied-and
tnat heiIeve, Tor one, irost solemnly, that the
Wings of the United States in the contest which has
just terminated, have been themselves the instru-
nenis at ,hs defeat over which they now mourn.
