shows that Babbitt himself, acknowledges that the
charge of brbery between the wings and Mormo MS.
was, always pronounced it to be, utterly false.
KANEsvILLE, May 23d, l849.
JosEpu YOU'VE. Esq,
Dear SRI perceive from number
Of the ''Keoknk Dispatch" published in
September last, that am made TO say that
Orson Hyde showed me draft upon the
Wing Committee at Washington for the
sum Of $1,000. This statement made by
the Editor of the Dispatch is false. have
made no statement to any person, or in any
place contrary to those made in my letter
to the Hancock Patriot in October last.
| am yours very respectfully,
a. w. BABBITT.
If the statement, denying the publication
of the "Dispatci,," had been made at the
time ii appeared, we confess that it would
have altered the tone Of some of our letters
in relation TO Mr. Babbiu. If an angel
from Heaven had declared that we showed
him check on Washington or on any
other place or Oh any person, under heav-
en-, for thousand dollars, we should have
been forced TO say that he told falschood.
We borrowed the money to get our press,
and we expect to pay it again honorably
and fully. We have no feelings against
Mr. Babbi't that we are unwilling to lay
aside, neither are we disposed 10 extort,
or exact from him the last farthing.
Mr. Rabbits statement to Mr. Young,
puts the veto upon the bribery speculation
charged upon the Wings. In this, Mr..
b. has done himself justice, has honored
the truth, and liberated us from unmeri-
ted censure. There were several tribu-
tary causes of difficulty between us, aris-
ing in great measure, out of a misunder-
standing Of each others position, and the
consequences were, a pretty brisk and
spirited fire at each other. We have con-
cluded to drop and settle the matter, and
be friends so far as the Church is con-
cerned. Yet we confess that we have not
made Wing of him and we think that
he will do It's the justice to say that he has
not made very deep democratic impress
| sion upon us.
