Ma. EDIToR:-I see BY this weeks Gazette, that
Judge McDonad's mouth piece, James Hughes, of the
Gazette is defending hun against the charge made
by 'sA Democrat" that Judge Mcdonald bitter
partizan. | think the gentleman will have as hard
row hoe in defending the Judge from this charge as
he had in defending his consistency iu supporting Me-
Donald in preference to Judge Perkins, and will make
great failure. This Hughes thinks he is
wonderous wise man, and what he says is, ought
be- law and gospel TO the natives and doubtless is 10
few contemplate boocks, that he has 10 his employ
do his dirty work, and eavesdrop about, and catch
up items Tor their master. One Of which worthless IL
is asserted, cannot live any LONGER in this community
But to the intelligent and sensible part OF society, Mr.
Hughes's Inconsistency IN supporting and defending
Judge Mcdonald is great that his vndcaton Of the
Judge from Whgqery falls harmless to the ground.
To the people who live in this community, and know
the feeling that has subssted heretofore between Judge
Mcdonald and James Hughes, it is really amusing to
MIR. Hughes laboring hard to convince the peo
pie that Judge Mcdonald is good man, and an able
urst, when 1t Is we'll known that until recently the
most deadly hostility existed between them, and that
Hughes permitted occasion to pass when he could
say any thing against Mcdonald. Mr.. Hughes denies
the assertion that Judge Mcdonald is strong Wing
Hughes may be authority upon this subjective take II
for granted that be is but hear what he has said of Nc
Donald heretofore. We have the word Of gentleman,
that stands high for truth and veracy that he, Hughes
told him that Judge Mcdonald "was the ID mean
est, bitter Wing 10 the judicial district and that he had
in his sneaking, sly way done inure the Dem.
oeratic party than any other in our circuit"
So that this beautiful specimen of consistency
has greatly changed his opinion that he told false
hood in the first place
| now ask every sensible man III there is any conf
dence be placed in utterly reckless of truth
SO ehangeable in his opinions There can be but one
response The friends of Judge Mcdonald here boldly
say that Hughes is doing Mcdonald harm than all
the Democratic papers in the State, and impute his
pretended rsndsGip to Judge Mcdonald intended to
defeat him. We know not what are his motives for
supporting Mcdonald but we do know that he will go
as far and soop as low, to crafty his hatred rs any
man living
And here take occasion to say that il is expected
by Judge McDonad's warmest friends that he will
ceive than the Wing vote in this county lt may
be supposed that the pursued by the called
Democratic paper at this place would induce many
Democrats TO abandon the nominee Of their party, and
for Mcdonald bat when the votes counted out
you will find that old Monroe will come up with her
usual Democratic majority The truth is, the Gazette
is principally supported and kept up by the Wings and
Abotonisrs and here assert, and defy Mr. Hughes
to deny il, that threeourths Of bis subscribers are
Wings and Aboitioniss consequently is not strange
that he gives aid and comfort to the Wings and Adolf
tioniss, for from them he gets his 'bread and butter
which you know is necessary desideratum IN large
family We know that the prospectus of his paper
circulated principally By Wings and Abolitonsts and
that the Aboitonsts are bold to claim him as their
champion, and recommend the Gazette good Free
soil paper. ...-... FLESH AND BLOOD. r
