AT the request Of the writer, we give place TO the fol-
lowing letter We understand it to reiterate the mpua-
tons OF the Southern Address upon the press Of this
city, without discrimination exception II that be the
purpose OF the writer, again repel the imputaons
thus reproduced far this press is concerned for the
reason which we have heretofore given, viz because
they have no foundation in fact whatever.
We do not object the establishment by TIE signers Of
the Southern Address, Of paper for the objects stated in
that address. il they think il is expedient to put the
cause Of the South upon like footing with the
OF abolitionism. The aboltonsis Of the NORTH
no, the North az a section--have established paper
this city advocate their peculiar and disoganiznE
principles And II the signers Of the Southern Address
think that movement Of the aboIitonsts Of such formi
dabe character to justify resort to similar mode Of
counteactng ihem instead Of relying upon the power Of
the South in debate well the press devoted the
just cause Of the South do not object But when
order to recommend such proceeding to the people Of
the South, they find necessary 10 step out Of the way
and misrepesent the Of others, and ascribe to
those whom they msrspreseni base and dshonorable
lives, far concerned being parties mplica.
ted cannot remain silent, and permit such impuatons
to pass by unconuadicted.
Mr. Stanton seems to imagine that the southern organ

to the present organization Of parties in the South We
have no doubt he s sincere in his belief and 20 we be-

The Meeting at Wharton Texas.-Judge
Stewards Speech

We publish to-day the proceedings of this
meeting and the speech of Judge STEWARD
From these it appears that not only the Texas
question, but the whole Southern question, is
we'll understood in that part of the State
Judge STEWARDS speech is a plain, but very
clear, able and powerful exposition of the prin-
cipal points of the controversy, and is conclu.
sive answer to the quires of speeches made in
and ont of Congress in favor of the Texas bill,
and of submission generally.
We are informed that the planting commu-
nifty of Texas are opposed en- masse to the bill
for her Acknowledgement That its friends are
among the merchants, doctors and lawyers.
The latter class is composed more generally of
Northern emigrants, than the planting.

Moro Harmony.

While the Compromise was pending, the party
organs on both sides were declaring that it wat
Strictly no-party measure, and il. passage was
also proclaimed as triumph Of patriotism over
party. But the smoke from the guns cred in
honor Of that "triumph' had scarcely cleared
away, ere the signs ofa squabble among the allied
forces manifested themselves. ~
Believing that the thing would serve to make
some capital out Of at the North, the organs
straightway commenced claiming the credit each
forts own side-ass;stcd by achievements from
the other--and the discords that have succeeded
the former harmonies are equal to those attend
ant on the building of Babel, which ediice, by the
way, the Compromise closely resembles, both in
comprehcnsivcncss of plan and extent of failure.
The Administration papers insist that it is a
therin the cap of the FILLMORE Admuistn.-
tion--per contra the opposition papers use lam
guage like this, which we clip from the Boston
Post:
/" The people, however, will see through all
this. They will not accord to CHG admin
istralion' snch 4 flow of prosperity. They will
look deeper and Judge better What has been
gained for our country has been gained by the
instrumentiity of the NATIONAL. DEMocRATIc
PARTY; and the people see and know that the
country needs the same patriotic party at the
helm in order that what has been gained with
so lnnch labor may be improved and transmitted
to posterty."
We look for speedy reply to this cool as
sumption Of the Post, in which as strenuously
will be urged the exclusive title of
'sTHE NATIONAL WING PARITY
to all the profit and loss accruing, or to accrue
from that series Of surgical styptics applied 10
the bleeding wounds of this distracted
country"
Without arrogating to ourselves, prophetic
powers, we venture to predict that but a short
period Of time will elapsc before those now con-
tending for this honor, will be equally willing to
shift their responsibility anywhere else

"Tha Higher Law.
