The Norfolk News, "a Democratic paper
IN publishing this letter, says:
I'VE are sincerely glad, that this denial has
been made public and would like to sec all
false issues on either side scattered To the
winds. As for ourselves, ehavc never placed
any reliance on tlc truth Of the report, and
have not suffered the charge 10 appear in our
columns, though we can readily imagine how
II has been believed by others"
How many Of our Democratic contempora
RES can exhibit as clean "a bill Of health" on
this subject the Norfolk News ? The truth
is, the organs Of that party have conducted the
canvass thus far most shamcfully. Neither the
uneoualled services of Gen Scott in behalf Of
his country, nor his spotless reputation as a
gentleman, have restrained them from attempts
to beioul his fair fame with charges to which
his whole life gives the lie. Every false and
filthy accusation that has been concocted in the
cess.pools Of party malignty and mendacity
has been permitted to find its way into the
Press-even, We regret to say it, not unfre-
quently, in that portion oft conducted by gen.
tlemen. Cowardice, embezalement and false
hood are among the vianons charges that we
have seen disgracingthe agos of the recognized
organs OF the Democratic party-against a man
whose private life is without stain, and whose
public career has shed unfading lustre upon the
escuteheon of the country. His character
is the property Of the country, ard it is the
duty OF every one' who feels pride in The men
and the deeds that make up the national glory,
to rebuke this spirit of defamation. and protect
his fame from the aspersions of malice and
falsehood.
