Letter of Senator Phelps.

MIDpLEBURY, Nov. ], 1850.
Mr.. WALroN,-I am not disposed TO enter
into a controversy with the editor Of the Free
Press; but am not willing 10 acquiesce in state
menls TO my prejudice which, although utterly
false, may obtain credence from the fact that
they are not contradcted.
In an article in that paper of yesterday, CON-
mentIng on NY letter recently published by you
in relation TO the fugitive slave till, find these
Judge Phelps was in Washing
ton when the bill passed the Senate. He ,oas
undoubtedly in his seat But neither by insinua-
zion, suggestion, argument, or rofe, did he LIT
finger against it," i" How dare he then 10
tell Vermont audience that that Infamous bull
was passed without his responsibility ?" | have
only to say, in answer to all this, thct ,cas not
IN my seat ,chen the bill passed, nor during the
discussion ,ctich preceded lis passage: but on the
contrary pos confined to my room BY serious sick
ness. So unwell was that, for several nights 10
succession, II was thought necessary that some
one Of NY friends Should remain with me dur
ing the night. On one occasion Mr.. Meacham
did SO, aud knows well that | was SO crippled
with rheumatism as to be under the necessity
for some days Of remaining in bed. Yet upon
this falsehood, thus recklessly put forth, by one
who either knew It TO be false, or did not know
whether il was true or false, is built the argu-
ment that acquiesced in the passage of The bill
and am responsible for it. The public may Judge
of the soundness of The argunent and tie mo.
tive which dictated the assertion.

New York Politics.

Journal Office, albany, Friday Nor !.
There was a tremendous gathering at the
Wing Ratification Meeting held at the Capitol
last evening. and hundreds were forced to leave
not being able to &c, in. The Capitol was
perfect jam. Friend Humphrey was, on motion,
called to the chair and enthusiastically received.
Tie was assisted by a large namoer of Vice.
Presidents and Secretaries.
Bonfres were burnt a. different points on
Stale st. and in front of the Capitol, and music
rang through the beautiful Park.
The meeting having been opened, J. K. PoR-
TER Esq. made the leading speech, which was
just adapted to the occasion-full of spirit, str
ring, and eloquent in defense of Wing men and
measures.
He was followed by Mr. c. Morgan, who was,
as usual, very acceptable. During his remarks
be put the question to the meeting, whether they
would consent to be gagged. as proposed by one
OF the Resolutions adopted by the Union Meet
ing in New York City on "Wednesday evening.
The response of No" was overwhelming, fol-
lowed by the most deafening applause. He also
pat the question, whether the meeting approved
OF the Fugitive Slave Law, recently passed BY
Congress, when another tremendous mo" was
given, which showed tina; the hearts OF the mnl'
titude present, as well as their voices, were op-
posed to the bill.
A person in the crowd asked the speaker what
he thought of the Presidents approval OF the oHl
TO which he replied, that it was Wing doc
trine, that the President should give his Sanction
TO all the acts of Congress which he believed 70
be constitutional. On this point the speaker
was strong ami emphatic. The effect, cunning
from him, was well received.

O. The reporter failed to set down our friend
Benton, of Lunenburgh, against the bill raising
