SANTA FE. New Mexico,) June 80. 1875


To the E htor of the Uaion:
SIR: Referring you 10 letter in the National Era,
signed W. G. X, take the lker,y to address you in
gard to that communication, which find is from the pen
Of an abolition sionary in this city from the Buckeye
State. whose fowery and scripural language is better
suited for his missionary cause than the public at large
1, with extreme surprise and Indignation that the
friends of Capt Reynolds here learned that the above
compllshed correspondent had made most ungenerous
and unwarrantable attack upon Capt r.. in connexon
with public meeting which took place here for the
nation OF candidate for delegate TO Congress w.
G. K is fond oil being witty. but he should never be SO
the expense OF truthand he preacher OF the sacred
gospel! That meeting did take place is true; that the
meeting was attended by Cap,sn Reynolds's friends is
also true; but that there any wire pulling entirely
false Captain r. was nominated unanimously by the
people OF Santa Fe county among Others by the entire
merchant and trading Citizens who all devoted 10 him
and do not think there single peeon in this disc,
who say that his conduct has been anything but
rec, and upright
In regard TO the Captains speech the occasion
fered to- reverend friend has very much misrepe-
senied the facts Captain r. loudly called upon by
the entire audience, except auditor and tina, w
K, and upon his appearance made and appropriate
speech-such as is made generally such occasions
He stated his willingness become a candidate, and
made known his principles &c. His speech occupied
about fifteen minutes SO much for reverend friends
veraci,yl
But / must make known to you and The public the
cause Of this wanon outrage on worthy man. The
Captain friend of the Union, and has the misfortune
Of being the native Of slave State. Oar reverend friend
rank aboionist, and has endeavoed to stir up dis
cord here, but without effect
A. W. Reynolds is no dough face he is an honest
straightforward His principles known, and by
them he will stand fall He is afable and chari,a-
ble and consequently beloved by the poor He has an
diarie therm
doctrines.
Captain Reynolds has doubt many political enemies,
who dare not Islander him here, but must monthly send
their uniruihfu illusions to the States Tor publication.
Our Rev w. G. X. passes over IN silence what took
place at the other nomination He says :" he knew
nothing OF the meeting" till il past And pray who
did know OF in Was there any notice given to the pub
lie of the meeting No. A few OF the friends met, in
company with few foreigners in favor of Weigbman,
and nominated him--of they did. But because
the people met en- masx" and nominated Reynolds,
abolition friend takes umbrage.
Our friend w. G. X. Is very anecdo,al; but facts
are stubborn things. and the fac, there
doies than truth in bis verbose communication For in
stance, he calls the Exchange--the most respectable
house in the Terrtory-a he'll have known the obliging
proprieors iocommode themselves very much TO let him
preach in that hell TO a number OF respectable
people he has preached will preach TO-
You will have reports and letters, doubt, animal
verng on the conduct Of various officers here, and par
suarIy on tina, of Capt. Reynolds. Blu, let the public
and the administration consider the from whence
they come II derecon OF duty takes place the part
of an Officer his superior will take coxnzance.
On the day OF election for territorial representatives
worthy governor and his foreign aliens siumpng il
through the country in favor Of his own servile party
and that. too, under the preence Of making an Indian
treaty. Our reverend friend makes mention OF that
and sundry other ,hings-of course not.
In conclusion. sir, ask Of you the insertion Of this
communication in behalf OF honorable and worthy
officer
Yours, respectfully.
