Yours, respectfully.
Following this, in the columns of the Enquirer is the
article of the Republican of Monday charging hat tick
els. headed Taylor and Butler, had been printed at this
office.
The Enquirer vouches FIR the veracy of its CORES
pendent, sin whose words full faith says, ''may be
reposed ''1he journal oraculay declares hathis
fact places the Wing organ, the Lynchburg Vr.nian
in most awkward and discrpditable position" The
letter is slngulary deficient in 'act though it abouads
with false statements.
The Enquirer has already that. in regard TO the
main point, the printing of the tickets. the Repubca ~
without waiting for full and explicit denial Withdrew
the charge, in the paper of Thursday last in the follow
ing terms
awe regret 10 state that msnormed in stating
last that fraudulent Wing Electoral tickets had bee
issued printed in this place, with the Of Taylor
a head as
none printed here.'
IT TRUE that the Editor of the Virginian told
the Editor of the Republican, either 'solemny ,o jest
ingly that he 'mended'' TO print the tickets in ques
ton We do not believe that the Junior Editor of the
Republican, any than the Wing who present,
would knowingly misrepresent what said-but they
certainly did msapprehend the tenor Of remarks, in
the private conversation which has been unnecessarily
brought before The public they readily admit that
did design say what they, the lime thought
wedd We said should refuse printers print
the tic:es, if ordered by any one,-Ths was said in
tic what told us, by the Editor of the Repub-
-a, OF his Indignantly refusing print the Democratic
ticket with deceptive heading, as proposed by respec
table member of his party.
We should not hold ourselves more responsible, in
point of morals, for striking off such tickets in our Job
Office, when ordered than for printing hand bill,
circuar-hough as destitute Of truth lie letter Of the
Enqurer's correspondent That we said we intended to
print the tickets in question, Of our own accord, and
stroke Of party policy. we now, as we we did IN our
paper of Thursday, emphacally deny.
IT IS NOT TRUE, after being ''solemnly told by the
Post Master in this place. the pamphlet alluded 10 in
our paper Of the 26h ult ranked by the Honorable
Truman Smith, that we said we were 'not certain
whe he. it was Truman or Robert Smith, No such
words, which given quotation, to he found in
the article. We were told by the Post Master and his
assistant that the bundle ranked by Truman Smith,
and we promptly believed it. Our language was:

Der of Congress from Connecticut We believe there is
mistake in ihs-cerain it is that Mr.. Truman Smith,
as member of the Congressional Campagn Committee,
has enough to do to frank Wing Documents. If his
frank has been used it in ignorance, his part
as to the characters of The document which it to
cover"
We still believe in the mistake. We do not believe
Mr. Smith Ianked the document with knowledge Of
its contents.
IT Is NOT TRUE lastly, that We at any tme in any
shape directly or indirectly said 'at the Philadelphia
Convention would disgrace ITSELF if suffered General
Tayors fame to 90 before it," The writer q YES The
words as quotation-Our readers wi II bear testimony
that no such sentiment ever appeared in the editorial
columns of the Vrginian. We suppose this precious
correspondent Of the Enquirer audes to nat did
say, in contemplation Of The meeting Of the Philadelphia
Convention and Of The refusal of Gen. Aaylos friends
