FATHER MATHEw.-The Charleston papers pub
lish letter from Father Mathew to Judge Lump
kin, of Georgia, excusing himselffor having marked
former letter "private," and authorizing its pub
location. In reference to his supposed sentiments
on slavery, which induced Judge Lumpkin to
withdraw the invitation for him to visit Georgia,
Father Mathew says:
In referring your honor to the conversation l
held with Mr.. Garrison in the Adams House,
Boston, vainly thought my solemn declaration OF
being firmly resolved not to interfere, in any, the
slightest degree, with the institutions of this mighty
republic, would have been amply sufficient to calm
the anxieties of the most sensitive American.
now, dear and honored Judge, renew this dccla-
ration, and most respectfully urge that no man,
who enjoys himself freedom in this emphatically
free country, can require more from one who has
meekly come amongst you to advocate the high
and lofty cause Of Temperance, bearing in his
hand the pure and spotess white banner, with the
divine motto inscribed, Glory to God on high,
peace on earth TO men,"
