Il. V. MARSH AND HIS LETTER
THURSDAY. DEC. &c, 1874.

Of our friend II. V. Marsh, ito be found il
another column mol because we think on
readers care particularly to hear the subjec
further discussed as TO who is right in III
mattel, 10 which he alludes, uor is il 70
the purpose Of entering into a personal con
trovercy with this modern Prometheus, II
V. Marsh, investigator 'Waichtower,' &c
&C., who like another Goliah, has, accoi
ding to his own showing, nnnihilaied an'
essentially used up all who have come be
fore him 10 the discussion of this question
even including one member of he Yer
mont Stale Com minee! and who had hell
office for years To 'enter the lists with
such aniadversary-nn and while he is flushc
with the glorious triumphs OF his recen
victories, would be madness on cur part
and therefore, we respectfully decline tc
stand up, to be knocked dorm! by this mos
valian, champion of the RigAtsg Man, a,
least, while the laurel upon his brow holds
its present greenness
"She rails in beauty, like the night"
We have seen somewhere, h~iustraied,
by an engraving Of huge fem ale darkey,
who, with parasol erect, and streamers fly
ing, was passing on in all the conscious
dignity Of female charms and loneliness,
and MS an illustration ofthe sentence
See. The eonquefing Hero comes"
We give the gentleman's letter, as a pic
ture Of the Hero, drawn by himself We
do this, as we have before said, neither for
the qualification Of ourselves or our readers
simply to appease onr gentlemanly
correspondent, who conceivcs himself, abu.
sed in the article alluded to, and claims to
be heard through the same channel of
communication in reply But Of what,
has the gentlemen to complaint
Almost every one has heard the story Of
the fsh.0omen, who was engaged in a pass.
age-not ofarms, but Of tongues, with q sis.
ofthe order. and who withstood with
most wonderful GOODNESS all the ordinary
biIlingsgate Of her adversary, until the 9th.
sr marched deliberately upto her and
her arm akimbo. and fixing her
yes steadily upon her, called her an indi.
whcreupon her fortitude all at
once forsook her and she flew into a most
passion, declaring that she had
never been called that name before,
The sensitiveness Of our amiable co rre..
pendent, in view Of the article Of which he
complains; reminds US forcibly ofthis story,
and justifes its application to.himself. We
is true, did no, in that article call this gen.
an individual, but simply spoke OF
him as one Of the leaders of the so-called
Liberty party and in speaking of the
abuse and vituperation which tho Slaveo.
Gratis Of the South are constantly pouring
upon the heads Of Adams, Seward, Slade,
Giddings and others-we expressed our
tina. this should be so, il it is true,
as is claimed by the leaders of this party,
hat they are the only real opponents OF sla.
very, and the above named gentlemen the
opposers Of ab~olihonisn, and wondered
why the names of those who claim to be
so efficient in the cause, and Mr. Marsh's
among the rest, were never included IN
these denuncIations IL in TINS speaking
oil Mr.. Marsh, we have abused and syillifed'
him, then we plead guilty Of the charge
and on the other hand, if, in placing him
in that position, we have insul!ed the
members of the party, we most hum.
bly, ask their forgiveness. We have, it is
True, often expressed our entire disbelief in
The honesty of,he professions, Of the leader,
Of this party, but il is not true,as allegded BY
MIR. NJ. that we have habi,ually or ever!

them. Why should wei 1t is true that
we do not believe in the means they are EN-.

Of bolhionism, we say, il this measure is

through the mi'direction ofihe third party
in the las, Presidential contest. And
