Mr.. EDITOR -
In two articles which

In Two articles which
late y appeared in your paper, you have
unlnIenIlonaIly mistated facts and
feel assured that you will, with that
courtesy which has often been ex-
tended to me, allow me to correct
them.
The first relates TO myself, and was
occarioned by an article in the Tribune
ascribIng to me a position upon the po-
lltcal arena which have not, as yet,
occupied,-i. c. being prime mover IN
the late temperance Convention for
nominating State officers.
was not delegate to that Conven-
ton, nor did | vote or otherwise take
part in its proceedings but OH the con-
lrary, when called on by the chair,
while accidentally present, to address il,
l stated that the political arena had
been occupied, Of late years, by so
many bulies and blackguards that il
was deemed an unfit place for clergy
men, and therefore hesltated TO do
more than merely TO express my opin-
ion. as a citizen, and n father that som,-
thing ought 10 be done TO remove the
temptation 10 drink. from our streets, and
also to send men OF honesty and intey-
rIty to our Legislatures. will only
add that l have not the honor OF being
acq1din'e ed with but one Of The gentle
men nominated I; but that if my proes-
sional character did not render il i'm
proper, l should be glad TO be assoc la
ted with many, whom | did know, up
on the floor OF that Convention, who
may sometimes err IN judgment but are
unimpeachable IN moral integrity and
patriotism.
The other facts are, that the Sons Of
Temperance ippoln,ed ii committee TO
ascertain the proprlety Of organizing
political action throughout the S tate !;
but that that committee deemed II mex
pedienl; and that The present action
was the r, suit OF the couLsels of citizens,
who have acted Independently OF the
Sons OF temperance, aud occupied
ground which that order saw fl TO de-

eo- We hear irequen, complaints from
mariners in regard to Beaver t.
Lig /; the Captain Of one Of the New
York steamers recently informed us
that il Is the poorest Light from Charles
ton to ST. Johns he also stated that as
his boat passed il, a few nights since, the
light was nearly out. This is very
wrong, for such negligence endange rs
life and property; we trust that the
matter Will be investigated, and the dil.
fcuIty remeded. Captains Of vessels
have reported The fact TO the Depart
ment, but no notice is taken Of it,, al
least the light is no better. There
must be bad management somewhere,
either in the Light House hoard or at
Washington, for the Lii, h, house on
the Lime Rocks was ready 10 be lighted
some ten days ago we are informed, and
