to every intelligent reader and, therefore, needs
no contradiction. From the little notice the Jour.
nal receives from other prints it no doubt has be.
come aware OF this fact, and has therefore ofiate
adopted another method of putting forth its mis-.
representations. 1t publishes them in the form OF
letters from various parts of the State Bat the
uniformity Of these letters shows that they all
eminate from the same source-that they are
either the f,brications Of the editor himself or
some Of his emisaries who are travelling the
country TO collect subscribers. One Of those

although he was ashamed to attach it to hi,
letters-Lisle Smith, came down the Canal last
week, and by looking over the Journal his course
can easily be traced We find letters there from
Morris, Ottawa, La Sale, and Peru. At Morris
he gives uierance to the following:

DEAR Sir: ! have the honor TO acknowledge
your letter Of the Sth inst, written MS you are
pleased to add, in behalf Of several hundred VA
tive American Republicans Of Philadelphia.
Not contdentaily but not fer publication, |
have already replied to letter from David ~
Stone, Esq of your city, on the same subject.

business is heaviest with re-leavng scarcely

wholly neglect your communication.
Should any considerable number Of my fellow
countrymen assign me, or desire to give me
prominent, position before the public, shall take
time to meihodire my views on the great qurs
tons YOU have proposed. Those view, have their
origin in the stormy elections of the Spring of
1885, and were confirmed in the week that the
Harrison electors were chosen in New York On
both occasions was in that city, aud heard in the
streets, Down with the natives 1t was heard
in almost every group Of toreigner', as the signal
for rsiiying and outrage.
Fired Nth Indignation, two friends sat down
with me in my parlor at the Aston House, (No
vember lst0) to draw Up an address designed
to rally an .hnericdn party. The day after the
election set out iur the South, and | have never
known precisely why oar appeal was not pub
lished. Probably the election Of Gen Harrison
rendered its publication at that time unnecessary
