Feuds in 0nondaga Co.-Lctter from s. c.
Judd.
Correspondence of The Tribune.


HORACE GREELEY: Dear S2r:-ln your Irt-
Junc of the 30th ultimo, correspondent who
signs himself I" Onondaga,' dating from this city,
does me great injustice by wholesale untruths
and misrepresentation
am charged with having lately returned from
Washington with the appointment to twelve
hundred.dollar Cerkship in my pocket, to look
after the elections and help defeat the Wing can
didate for Congress in this District ". w. SMITH
instead of remaining at my post.
Now sir my appointment to q Clerkshlp at
Washington takes effect not until the 10Th day of
the present month"; that " Onondagas' lmnu
tation against me, of leaving my post for the pur
pose of having to do with the elections falls harm
less to the ground.
In respect to VIyus w. SMITH, have said, and
say now, that his nomination was not lit to be
made" And why? Because through the columns
of his Daily J0uanalhe has repeatedly denounced
President FILLMORE and his administration with
most bitter invectiyes without just cause. Be-
cause he has denounced HENRY CLAY and DAN
TEL WEBSTER as Locofocos, and heaped abuse
unreserved upon them. Because | feared, as |
now have every reason to fear that if elected, he
will wage hostility against the President and his
Administration and thereby jeopardize to some
extent the furtherance of Wing principles and
Wing measures.
These views of Mr. SMITHS nomination have
entertained, and in few instances, though but
few, expressed, as free citizen supposed was
of right my province to do. This is the head
and front Of my offending" and il in this have
erred, then my plea to error is guilty.
A little more and have done.
Your correspondent institutes another grave
charge in these words
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 Pres
ident and to be in direct correspondence with
him--to understand his policy and speak his
views"
Now, MI Editor. l pronounce the above, in
each and every respect, mallclously and unquali
fedly false | have never claimed publicly or prl
vately directly or indirectly above charged nor
have | uttered one word or syllable that could i'm
ply such claim in any wise orrespect whatsoever
and the man who charges it, whoever he be, IS a
dastardly knave.
Personally, | care not so much for the charge
and were alone the object OF attack, Ononda-
ga should be treated with that contempt which
he merits But sir, | am unwilling, and cannot
consent that wrong be imputed to the President or
either of his Cabinent Ministers on my account,
even though that mputation comes from a man
so cowardly as who dare not plant his signature
beside the nc. Yours, very truly, &c
S CORNING JUDD.
u Mr. Judd does very we'll to excul-
pate the President and Cabinet from all re-
sponsibility for his action in the premises
and so far we consider his letter very proper
but we cannot see that he mends matters
generally by his letter. On the contrary,
we consider his ayowed opposition TO the
Wing candidate for Congress, and his
charges that said candidate is hostile to the
President, entirely unwarranted. Unless
hostility to the Extension of Slavery be
esteemed hostility to Mr.. Fillmore's Adj
ministration, then Nh Judd's charges are
mfopnded. No one could be elected IN
