The Erening Post, by dsrcgarding the salutary
Hibernian rule above quoted is getting Itself into
various kettles Of hot water. That the Post should
feel uncomfortable ia view OF the exposures OF
Mackcnzics book, is very natural; but its writing
and wrigpling are maladroit, exceedingly Elk
pressive silence would have better served its turn.
The Post thinks the extensive publication OF
Henry Clsy's letter 10 Cassius NJ Cay stolen from
us while still sealed. before ii appeared in its col
umns, justified It's conduct in the premises. Very
good that is sufficient for purpose The Hoyi
and Butler Correspondence came TO ne printed in a
book, with the name Of respectable citizen of New
York On its title pageoDe who has held responsible
Office here and is a warm advocate Of the peculiar
politics Of the Post far principles are concern
ed. II manifest their face that these letters
would command sn extensive circulation, whether
VIC copied from them or not II any body can I'M
agine a moral difference between our making ex
tracts on Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday, he is
welcome to all there is OF it.
Ia the case Of the Glentworth conspiracy, the
Post skulks behind the so-caled legal proceeding
had in the premises But higher authority decided
tha, the main incident in this drama-namely, the
midnight seizure of sealed private papers-was a
gross usurpation-a tyrannical abuse of Judicial
power Nobody has attempted to answer Mr
Attorney General Halls Opinion on this subject,
and we understand that it is acitly admitted to set
forth the law Of the case We hold. therefore, that
the Judicial outrage resored TO in that instance only
agrava,es any wrong done in consequence thereof
We believe that the contrivers Of the Awful Die
closures" deliberately perverted and colored in
nocent transactions in order to strike AT the Wing
party through four or five of its members. We be
lieve that Glentworths pretencc that he procured
any considerable number of fraudulent votes TO be
pollcd here a gross cheat contrved by him TO
obtain money for the support of his debauchcries
We know that the main manager of that explosion
the man who swears that he went to Philadelphia
under false NAME with fraudulent letters of intro
duction to leading Wings himself pretending to be
q Whig when he was a Loco Foco, and who sworc
10 what he says were confidential communications
from those Wings under such circumstances-bas
since been leading member of the Posts party, an
officer of the State by its favor and very recently a
presiding officer at one OF ts mcengs-and all
without whisper of censurc from the Post
We do not know that we ever severely censurcd
the repubshers OF the GlcntwOrh papers alter they
had found their way into print. We think they
were atrociously obtained, and that their tenor
and intent were grossly perverted by those who laid
them before the public The wrong was in the get
tcrs up of the Stevenson plot and not in the printers
Of its contrivances But let them go.
Nov for fresh dose Tor the Post In October
last, Mr. VIM. b. Reed of Philadelphia wrote let
ter to Wing in Lehigh County, enclosing 500
from the Wings of Philadelphia to be expended in
the Presidential canvass and urging strenuous
tons therein. There not an improper sugges
ton in the letter, any thing which could be tor
tured into wrong unless the sending of 500
10 be expended in Presidential canvass in Coun.
~ nearly rs large as Westchcster. But this letter
was directed TO Mr. Selfridgc as Parliamentary of
Lehigh County, while Mr.. :. Wing had recently
been superseded bya Loco Foco into whose hands
the letter fell, and who at published it. Look
