To THE EDToRs: Respect for the Senate, where re-
marks made abusive Of myself on the 18th instant
induces to make the following statement;
The first accusation was, that have said "that our
institutions will never be well and wisely and success

pleased TO cal moral influence can be brought to bear up
on the government; who dares 10 denounce the selected
candidates Of the great political parties of the country

used by in reference to any individuals the
thought of making the application 10 the late candidates
The second accusation was that " urged upon Con-
gress that pecuniay supplies should be voted for
the maintenance of this war; in order that the govern
ment might be forced for want of the of war,
withdraw victorious armies from the enemy's coun-
try in disgrace &c. never uttered such sentiment
to any one My friends know that was opposed to the
Withholding of supplies.
The third accusation was, that undertook to adju.
dictate question before it had yet been submitted for de-
cison, and which he III well knew than like
y to be presented for decision the court where he SITS
with others, for the discharge of high judicial dutes,"
&c This, suppose, refers TO letter written by me
last TO four FIVE gentlemen at Cleveland, in
Ohio who urged me to permit my name to be brought
before the Buffalo convention. In declining that honor,
and in answer to other parts of the letter. stated
nearly can recollect (my letter not being before mel

consequently could not exist without the sanction OF

and supposed was doubted by no one. In the of
