iSt mere close were it not that cannot forego the
opportunity offered ofexpressing my matured concIn.
e'ohS touching the consequences of such outrageous
proceedings as this have thus been forced 70 not
~ men VINO thus evince their total disregard for ruh
ana private character and who by thus boldly pro-
hugatng their tasehoods against the private and dis
taht individual insult the intelligence of the neonn am
not at once put down by them and taught to feel the
honest lndlgnaton-the day will but too soon arrvf
Wheh the society ohe hearth stone will be invaded anf
W characters OF even our sisters and daughters drag
Sed before the world and magned if so doinp will +
the least subserye the base purposes of pestlenti
demagogues Nor will the friendships of former DAYS
or the rendition of prior avors serve to MITIGATE the
horrors of such an inquistion
Let Gov Foote'S unnatural treatment Of 4bo e.
eldulcheSt trends he has ever had, Barksdae Omit
man. Muse and Picket illustrate my meaning. Let
e truth be ever keptin view and acted upon bv peo
pie who would perpetuate their freedom and maintain
ther seli-respect and good standng-that whenever
man seeks to hold official station he from that moment
becomes serUant of the people,-they the master
mat being servant, he should wait until called and
90 when ordered
But that when he presumes to dictate and succeeds
III MS presumption he is then, toa intents the sovereign
though still in livery and they the servant And now
IN conclusion, permit me to express my uneigned adj
mraton of the rich idea that would prompt man to
deny the authenticity of Qcia record and of certified
statements OF government officers simply because they
were not adorned with the great seal of state while al
the same time he would attemptto contoyert them by
telegrphic dispatch.
AS to Mr.: Jones of the Registers office, whom Gov
Foote speaks OF so sincerely permit me to bear tes
mony to his high private official character and his
moral worth. A. G. HALEY.
