senator few days before The paper containing ii

our particular attention to of its passages one Of

speech unworthy of its reputed author and so
utterly unlike the dignied department of Mr.. Clayton,
that we confess we were struck with establishment and
regret 1t affords great pleasure, therefore, in being
relieved from feelings by the following letter from
Mr.. C. himself, which received yesterday and
which contradics the authenticity of the production We
lay it promptly and cheerfully before our readers:

misrepresentation from beginning to end There no
reporter peesent when spoke Delaware city, took
occasion to notice with regret at the timea regret arising
from welllounded anticipation that whatever might

Cass have failed in their late atrocous attempts to soil
the pure and well earned fame of that distinguished and
accomplished statesman secured by his gaantry and
late war with Great Britain
That great delineator of human character the nmor-
tai Shakespeare, declared truthfuIly,
"Back wounding caumny
The whitest virtue strikes"
What despicable and loathsome means will not des-
perae and unprincped political opponents to for the
accomplishment of their ends. From the commencement
to the present moment of the presidential campaign the
federal presses throughout the land have been teemng
with false and malicious statements touching the charac-
ter and conduct of the distinguished candidate of dcoc-
racy; yes, and by the very Individuals too, who took
pride, Americans, in swelling the notes of ms praise
endorsing his known and acknowledged ability and pure
and reproachabe character when he was about taking
his departure minister to of the most polished
and accomplished courts in Europe.
But every effort has utterly, totally failed The breath
of Misrepresentation and calumny has been famed in
vain Defeat and modification have overtaken them at
every turn Words, aye, and figures too, have been null
tplied in vain.
Forunaely-truly so, for truth and the advancement
OF democratic prncpes-the companion in he gal
liant Jesup) of Cen Cass still survives and with prompt
ude and ability alike creditabe to his head and heart
has rushed to the rescue, snatching the assassnke
dagger from the bosom of him with whom he had shared

mtted to enjoy life and its blessings and stands like
faithful sentinel the watchtower of his countrys

strike for liberty, justice, friends, and country
Most heartily and cordially agree with you, Mr.. Edi-
tor, that the letters of General Jesup should be spread
before the country Yes let them be distributed far and
wide among the people. Emanatng they do, from
officer whose character is thoroughly and honorably
known and appreciated for every virtue that adorns hui

UNANIMOUSLY base misrepresentation that daily put forth
