DEAR GREEN: A number Of your readers
have thought that your paper had heen Ielher
severe on Gen. J. q. CLARK, man whom the
Wings have heretofore delighted 10 honor.
This was The opinion OF your humble servant,
until he cast his vote fof J. S. Green, since
which lime my opinion OF The Gen. has un'
dergone great change; he cannot be so is>
nofant as not 10 know that, Gleen. when &C.
ting under solemn oath 10 support The cons
s,ilution, has, by his woes, admlted The pow
OF Congress 10 legisle,e on The subject Of
slavery 10 The Territories OF Inc U. S. Be-
sCes it was cetanly false issue 10 make,
ss think it much better plea that The .er>
liloty was purchased by The common blood
end ueasule OF all he Sees, consequently
all should have an equal right in setlios i,
with ,heir properly OF aoy and every des>
,crption; this appeas 10 ME much more
plausible plea end sr3ument ,han 10 pleed ,he
unconsli,uionaiiy Of The act, fof those who
plead Inc want Of ,he powet.,in Congress,
aise no o;hel plea onJ ,he moth will q, once
tell item il this is your plea we will pass
The act, and LEI The GnoI arti.el (he Sup. eme
Coul or The U. S. settle the question; dis
would be much beuel and more honorable,
than notification, secession, or rebellion
asains, The general government; and 10 'aIh

Now am no Prophet but ] will ventue
the assertion that these States Rights
Men and strict consrucioni>t will rot be so
particular when The lime srives 10 elect Gen.
A,chison; OF do they hold that man declar-
ing his opinions under the ssnctity OF an
oath, is not 10 be believed, provided he gives
another and different opinion when freed from
The obligation Of an oath. Taking all The cir.
cumslsnces into consideration, nolwilhsland
ing Gen. CLARK, in The canvass, stated that
he still had The rings round his Tail; that he
was the same Wing he had ever been; |
think It bad sign Of bis Wbigism TO vote
against tha! sterling Wing joHN G. MILLER,
and for ,heI ticd.in>lheswool loco, James S.
Green, who held on 10 The coat taiI OF Thos.
II. Deo.on, when Benton Yves srong until
lie was dragged into Office, end who would
now move Heaven aad ee',h 10 get his place
now think you had come 10 a correct
conclusion when you said Gen. Clark was
soured when he Wings did mol run him for
Congress instead OF John G. Miller and
that he IS gone fom US, and that bis nesl
excuse will I've that he was kicked oui OF The
patty. We will see whether This will be
suGicien, excuse for him 10 change principles,
and 20 deceive ,hose friends who followed
him so Ia, the 3rce,er number Ct whom wilt
reurn 10 The fold, who will not renounce
their old and long cherished principles, bul
whom he will ehdeavour 10 carry with him
by he plea hel he was kicked Out from
amongsl US. True some will go-es there
were some equally hungry for Office, and
lhirsing (or The loaves End fishes, these we
must also mark. Now hope that The next
Legislature, will put in Col. Benton's place
that sterling and unlerifed Wing. A. LEON.

In conclusion, Mr.. Green, Fam not Free,

isl, but UNION MAN.
land we take pleasure in adding, one OF
The oldes. and frmesl Wings in the county
a strong personal friend OF General ella, X
but stronger haier Of political hnavery.-
