The Enquirer of yesterday publishes aletter from
Mr.. Mapp, which blowsthe t'thrlling dialogue

| To the Editors of the Enquirer;
AccomAck CouNrY, Va, Aug. is, 1859.
My attention has this moment been called 10 an
article, which appeared in your columns OF the 6th
inst, headed stPublc Meeting IN Accomack
County" "Thrilling Dialogue" which demands
short notice from me, in consequence oil us m
correctness on the one part, and what seems to be
designed omission on the other. For the ialse
position am here made to occupy, personally l
should have no concern; but II Is ouIy Whlc ,

ment in the hands of willy politicians whereby they
may humbug the people by representing Franklin
Pierce to them in false colors. have no desire 10
inflict such gross injustice upon the democratic
candidate, as should do, were TO recommend
him such pro-slavery man as the Language con
tanned in that article, purporting to emanate from
me- would necessarily imply. If this had been
true what it states, and this had been ALL it would
very materially alter the facts IN tins case II is
the most easy thing in the world, however, 10 draw
false differences from partial statement OF lactS.
And whoever attempts to quote words from a

ately connected Herewith, explaining and quality

had, does commit fragrant wrong not only upon
theauthor but the: public, by conveying so far as
the authority shall have weight, a meaning false

| evil. "Remember, BaSsinio, the devil, may quote
scripture for his purposes" In evidence OF this,

scriptures, by detaching from its pages certain

Snow Hill reporter has it. A short time prior t
this, Mr.. Hale had dissolved his connection will
the Democratic party, upon the Texas question the
plea that the party did not go far enough for the
abolition of slavery. He desired to see slavery
abolished, whether by 'tpeace or blood" He also
lin the course of his remarks, made some illusions
to Mr. Pierce. That gentleman came forward t.
