SYRACUSE, Saturday, Oct. VI.
HORACE GREELEY Dear Sir: The Political
contest in this County presents some noticeable
features The Star newspaper printed here is a
sort of guerilla sheet, pretending to be neutral
politics and admitted to be so in its morals. Trim
ming its sails, however, to suit every breeze, it
just how sides with the National Silver Grays
makes great pretension Of friendship for the Adj
ministration OF Mr.. Fillmore, and fills its columns
with the most mendacous abuse of Gov Seward
and other prominent Wings throughout the State
The Wing candidate for Congress V w SMITH
is the recipient OF much of this abuse, and his de-
feat seems to be the grea. end for which the paper
is striving.
In itself this would be of very little consequence
under ordinary circumstances, but the facts o, the
case are suggestive and worthy to be put upon
the record.
The Editor of this paper Ia Mr.. judd is lately
returned from " ashineton with the appointment,
as is understood to twelve hundred-dollar Clerk
ship in his pocket. Instead of remaining at his
post 1t seems he has come up to look after the
Elections and help defeat the Wing candidate for
Congress in this District against whom the bate
RES OF the paper specially directed
But the point is here: in order to give force to
his objections to the Wing ticket, Judd claims to
be upon the most intimate terms with the Presi-
dent, and to be in direct cores pondence with him
to understand his policy and speak his views.
1t is not credible that the Administration is en-
ploying means to defeat Wing candidates and
elect Loco-Foc but the facts are as stated, and
with the late example of Messrs. Duer, Young,
Maxwell & Co at the State Convention, every
new ease adds to the weight of responsibility
which rests upon the Administration for not check
ing this abuse. If ii does not wish to be held re-
sponsible for the indiscretions of these unhedged
officers, it would DO we'll to let them know it, 1t
is as outrageous as it is almost unprecedented,
that Clerk none of the Departments should be
thus employed, and to every case which occurs
the widest publicity should be given that the cor
receive may be the sooner applied.
If it is the policy of the Administration to aid
in defeating Wing candidates, it is well that it
should be knewn. and if it is not, then is well for
the Administration to know of the things which
are done in its name against those who called it
into being. In fair fight we elect the whole
of our Ticket ard l have no doubt we shall do it
at any rate, whether opposed by Loco-Focos alone
or by those also who claim to be peculiar friends
OF MIR. Fillmore and his Administration.
