/. AN EXCORIATI0N.L

We published yesterday two in
troductory notes which passed be-
tween Mr.. Wallace and Gen. Sam
Houston, and referred to the severe
comments ofthe former. We give
the following paragraphs from this
rasping, being the concluding ones
of the letter. The charge which
Senator Houston had made In de-
bate, Gen. Wallace, it iswell known,
disayowed over his proper signature
some time since. The REPETITION of
it on the floor Of the Senate, after
such d;savowal, certainly deserves
the present castigation: y
Tine studied assault which THE
Senatorihasmade upon me may not,
perhaps, be characterized by the ele.
ment whicli always attends the crime
of felony, to wit. malice aforethought.
The malignant hate which, while liv-
ing, he bore to another, who in life
ivedupon moral eminence, which
his malice could never reach, burns
so fercely in his bosom yet, that he
cannot his ashes to repose in peace.
The .sanctity offbs grave affords no
shield against the Senator 'simpotent
vituperation, and he attempts to drag
me into view to enable him to add
venom 70 the arrow which he hurls
at the memory ofthe shonored dend;
and / shall perhaps teach that Sena.
tor in the end that he shall not use
my name, either directly or by inn
plication, for such a purpose. without
having administered to him iaegi.,
ted rebuke. roo 4lg z
An act like this, which includes
in its corpus delicti, the sweeping of
all other vices, and which can be
truly characte ICED only by the term
meanness, i. without paliation or
justifiable pretence, and can produce
no results but to cover it's author
with the scorn and contempt ofmans
kind. ,.,..@ s.l: ~,

passed by that body; the latter in

passed by that body; the latter IN
effect repeals the former, as mustbel
known to .Fair Play, notwithstan-
ding his disavowal of all proximity
with law and lawyers; unless he is
like the man who maintained that
the Oldest act was binding.
This is truly a grave charge, com
ing from one who is neither a, law
yer nor the son of a lawyer that the
Legislature, composed of SO many
legal gentlemen and so much of the
wisdom of the State, has passed an
illegal law They deserve to be
turned out, every one of them, and
Fair Play should endeavor to en-
tighten the people of other Districts
in this matter, to insure the defeat of
such as aspire to reelection.
AS to the necessity of Road from
Pendleton to Pickens G. H., every
one who has travelled the old one
must be satisfied. The Grand Jury
for Pickens District, at the Fall term
lS49, recommended a new road to
be laid out, and the presiding Judge
made an Order requiring the Com
missioners of Roads TO comply with
tho recommendations of the Grand
Jury, or failing to do so that they
show cause at then next term why
they should'not be intfiicteti.
Now, that five Commissioners
should be appointed by the Legisla-
ture and required TO leave their busi-
ness for four, five or six days, and
labor for the public in endeavoring to
elevate the condition of the country,
by an improvement in the roads, and
to lay off "that new road,' as ii is
farmiliarly called, from Pendleton to
Pickens, and that too to the satisfac-
ton of all sensible men who have inn
partially yexamined the route, and their
labors be not only disregarded, but
endless abuse heaped upon them by
those, who forsooth, are interested in
the road passing someotlier way, is
ungrateful, unjust, and unreasonable.
No doubt but this duty was perform
ed by the Commissioners y(seme of
whom have experience and ac-
knowledged skill in such matters(
with am eye single to the public inter
est, free from 'the influence of preju-
dice on the one. land and fayoriesm
on tie other" And the route, ifex-
amined by an Engineer would be
found superior generally to any 9th
er. sp,ss' fft i.2isI@ 92l'ei Ail'sfls3i
AS for the "discord, discontent, ha-
tired, malice, ill-will, and excitement
createdby a few individuals, whose
private interests may possibly be af:
fected by 9 change of the road, or BY
those who oppose all improvements
in the country, neither the Legisla.
ture nor the Commissioners are ac.
countable. sab. 2Ja 8HisHaAt
