Your communication, addressed to me, and pub

and compllmental, that l cannot suffer it to pass
unnotced.
If | had an assurance that you, my friends of
the Enquirer, and other democrats, would be
made good Taylor men by the publication of this
letter, then there would be strong nducement
Tor me to yield to your polite request; but feel
confident that, though the views expressed in

Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
DAVID PANNILL.
Orange county, Sept. 28th.
The Enquirer, speaking Of DR.. Pannll calls him
he Taylor eiector for Orange The aatlve county of
Gen. Taylor. Is the Providence Journal satisfied and
will it reract its caumnyl
! The Journal also charges with Misrepresentation OF
the vote the annexation of Texas We gave the vote
precisely found it in the Barre Patriot, where it
was copied from the Boston atlas. Our own report
less full, but confirms this After its passage in the
house, it was amended in the Senate by giving the
President power open negotiations for the annexation
instead OF annexing by joint ballot. The BILL of course
went back to the House and the question before the
House, on which the vote was given, which is quoted by
the Journal was upon concurrence with the Senate in
the amendment We find ii so Slated IN all OF three
several papers of the day to which have referred So
1t would be, by parliamentary usage and that would be
the only questionable bill having already passed. The
vote on this question was yeas 1872, nays 75a The Barns
burners except Byram Green, who absent voting in
the affirmative, and all the Wings except one voting
against it.
We would not Intentionally mislead our readers and
when we find that we have been led into by others
none eau be more ready than make the proper
correction. We trust the Journal is actuaed BY the
same feelings, and we look to it to do Us just ice.
