H The following is an extract Of letter we
have received from distinguished Democrat in
the South:
MeSsrs. Fisher d. De Leon,

-, April 90, 1862.
Messrs. Fisher d. De Leon,
GENTLEMEN IL have read with Indignation
and disgust of the marked insult TO the South
ern Rights wing of the Southern Democracy,
implied and evidently intended by the coalition
in the joint committee on printing between com
promise Wings and compromise Democrats, by
which the printing of Congress has been d.
vided between the Washington Union and Re.
public Actions speak louder than words, and
it is bold presumption that Southern Demo
Gratis are nnnies, to talk to them about harmony
reconciliation and reunion, when in so fragrant
an instance it is made manifest that bitter hos.
tility rankles in the hearts of certain Demo-
Gratis against men whose only crime is that
they have refused to betray their rights, and
after having been betrayed by others, to pro.
nounce it good and patriotic sacrifice. es-
TEEN it fortunate that these people have shown
their hands so early. l. as you know, have been
one of the ardent Southern Rights Democrats,
who as soon as the battle on the compromise
was fought and lost at the South, favored n
reconstruction of the Democratic party on its
ancient time-honored basis. But if the Demo
cratic party holds Fillmore Wing (being for
the compromise) better and more honorable
ally than a Jeffersonian Democrat, (being fol
the compromise)-if the Southern Press is &c
be prescribed and Democratic favors and emol
uments are 10 be rayished from the organ of thu
Southern Democracy to be lavished on the or
gan of the Wing administration, then am
ready to accept the suggestion, and wash nv
hands of political party, which faithless to il.
own friends and stupidity impolitic, is not fit tc
be entrusted with the administration of the gov
eminent. l wait to see if the Democratic ma
jority in Congress will endure or endorse Thu
shameless coalition. wait to see if they will
not repudiate it as it deserves, and remove from
the minds of the Southern Rights men in al
these Southern States the deep suspicion O
Punic faith, which this transaction is so WEI
calculated to fix. It would seem that the com
mittee have exercised power beyond the con
troll Of the Democratic majority in Congress- /
90, that majority must testify by other and de
cided means that it does not approve of mea
sure that brands your press and all who are O.
your political faith - unworthy Of Democratic
consideration and Fellowship. y

JARED SPARES Anps$ THE EVENING POST
Some months since II Was alleged by a writer in
the Euening Post That there was large number
of discrepancies between the letters of Wash
ngton, as edited by Sparks, and the original,
and that Mr.. Sparks had materially altered, sup
pre- ssed, and in some instances added to the
original text, from an imperfect appreciation of
his editorial functions. The same charges have
been reiterated recently by Lord Mahon, in his
history of England. To these charges, We now
see, Mir. Sparks replies in letter to the Post
denying them in toto. The only alteration
made in t,oletters published, he says, are strictly
verbal or grammatical and he adds that in this
process he is not conscious that an historical
fact, the expression of an opinion, or the mean
ing of a sentence has, on any occasion, been per-
verified or modified These alterations chiefly
occur in the private letters, which were written
in haste, and not intended by the author for
publication. @
The more serious charge of making additions,
Mr.. Sparks pronounces to be entirely without
foundation. Mr.. Sparks publishes two letters
from the late Chief Justice Marshall, who, from
the fact of having had the originals IN his pos.
session for several years, and studied them
INFINITELY, ia more competent to form correct
judgment of the manner in which they had been
edited, and who speaks in the highest terms OF
commentator of the volumes Of Mr.. Sparks

PROTECTION OF pArENrEEs.

Mr.. HASCALL, by unanimous consent, pre-
scented two petitions, one from citizens Of Albany,
and one from citizens Of Genesee county, New
York, praying that an act may be passed to pro-
tect patentees against infringers of patents from
Canada. which he moved to refer to the Commit
tee on Patents, with instructions to reporta bill in
pursuance of the prayer Of their petitions
The instructions being objected to, the petitions
were referred to the Committee on Patents, with
out instruction.

~ The Louisville Journal applies the epi'
tibet Of "trsitors" to those who concur in the
sentiments Of the Southern Press: but says
they will be admitted into the Democratic party,
for it will want the aid of all the traitors it can
get. Among the Southern Wings who retired
from the Wing caucus, because it would not sup
portthe Compromise, was the representative OF The
party and district to which the Louisville Jour-
nal belongs. And Mr.. STEPHENS, another dis
tinguished Wing, said in his speech that those
who would not support the adjustment or the
Fugitive slave law, were" enemies of the coun-
try"
If the Democratic party will need all the trail
tors it can get, how many enemies OF the coun-
try will the Wing party need!
BY the way, we rather suspect from the re-
cent course of the Journal, that it meditates
desertiOn to those very "enemes of the coun-
try. No, no, not desertion-or desertion only
of the thin disguise it has long assumed, OF a
pretence of respect for the rights Of its adopted
section.
A hard time is coming for shutters, but we
hope the Journal will survive it, as specimen
Of canting patriots.

BALTImoaE, October 30-5 p. IN.
The Opposition had a large meeting last night,
with the aid of a haf-dozen, bands. of music, the
firing of cannon, pistos, and rockets, and the at
tracing the curiosity Of the thousands Of strangers
collected in the city. The great gun Of the occa
sion was Governor Bigler, Of Pennsy lvania, the
staple of whose argument was the dear Irish,
whom he endeavored to convince that they should
look upon General Scott as their bitterest enemy.
The man who has humbled the cross of st. George
on the battlefield must always find warm spot
in the heart of an Irishman. .
"A letter from Leonardtown, st. Mary's county,
Maryland, promises well for that section Of the
State; whilst another from Allegheny, the other
extreme, promises equally well for Western Ma.
ryland. Both are from men who know what
they say, and appeal to the Wings Of Baltimore
to stand firm, and keep down the Opposition
majority to the lowest limit. 81. Mary's promises
to give one hundred more for General Scott than
she gave for General Taylor, and Allegheny to cut
down to nothing the majority given to General
Casa. ........ -
The fact that Mr.. Belmont, the agent of the
RI thschilds, and the Austrian Consul at New
York, has given $1,000 to aid in defeating Gene
raj Scott, has caused considerable excitement in
this city, and the hnndbills that were posted on
the this morning, detailing the facts, have
been torn down by the Opposition wire pullcra.
The facts will, however, be published in all the
papers, and will prove conclusivcly that the DEM
ocratic nominee is the special iavorite of the ty-
rants of the Old World, with all their money lend
ers and stock jcbbers.
