oppose this to preserve their consistency and preserve
the entirety oil their party home, with its abolition

Of Tenn, Outlaw and Badger of N. c., Walsh Of Nd,
Brooks Of N. Y. and Marshall of KY, in favor, and
Smith of Conn, Campbell of Ohio, Thsddeus Stevens
and Parker Of your State participated. The tone of
most of the Southern men was calm but firm They
declared that suspicious already existed in the South

Our article in relation the uncalled for partizan
assault on Capt. Todd by the Temperance Chart has
'sred" the editor considerably 1t that he has
been talked to by Of his Temperance friends, who
doubt told him, very plainly, that he running
the thing into the ground. In card he explains fol-
lows:
''Now, when / penned that article, did not once
think of Mr. MeCarty a candidate for Governors but
styled him Temperance Whg," because, in every
during his three service in the Senate he has
voted for temperance measures"
Now are we to understand by this, that Mr. McCarty
ever favored the Maine awl We rather guess he will
hardly attempt such an uphill business in his speeches
before the people.
But this, very gentlemany editor, says he will not
condescend to notice the low and abusive article in the
Sentinel" This comes with rather bad grace from
man who denounced Levi L. Todd as a F" Whisky
Democrat" Capt Todd is temperate a man as Mr..
Woodward or any one else. He is member oil the
Presbyterian Church and his age. and standing IN seci-
ety should have shielded him from such abuse especial
" from paper protesting TO be neutral in politics
The question was not whether Gov. Wright is good
Temperance man as Mr. McCarty. but the question is,
is not Mr. Todd as good Temperance man as Mr..
McCarty4 We challenge the editor to the denial. II
it is true then to call Whiskey Democrat" and
the other Temperance Wing is foul SANDER en-
