whether we shall ever be able to appreciate or
comprehend it. We trust all conventions of the
Republicans, primary and ultimate, will be tho
roughly tested on this point, SO that clean re-
cord may be given to the public. As an indivi-

ultimate interests of the order. We shall not, if

The people of the country towns, so far as 1 have

more the importance of the enterprise to their inter

measure of their means. Let the heavy property own

great impeachment to the procurement of stock sub

John p. Hale.
To the Eikhorn Independent:

The charge of the Evening Post against Hale,
which you reiterated, was renolity-a prostitt,-
ton of himself for pay This Hale denied, sta
ting in effect, that he never urged a measure up
on the attention of Congress which lie did not
conscientiously believe to be right, and that he
never took cent of pay except for such services
rs he was perfectly authorised to take pay for
What then remains for you to provel Manfcstly
one of two things: first, that no man has right
to urge upon members of a legislative body the
favorable consideration of measures which he be-
lieves to be right and has no right under any
circumstances to receive compensation for his
time and his money spent in such labors or, Sc
cond, that Hale was engaged in urging the pas
sage of what he knew to be wrong, and took pay
for such prostitution of his influence. You have
done nothing of the kind, ON the contrary you
simply erect yourself into Judge and Jury, and
try and condemn him your own standard.
You think the Collins grant and the Valley road
grant wrong, and so do we; but VIM II. Sew
ard and other very tolerable men think different
~. VIM. II. Seward got So per day out of the
national treasury while urging this measure.
You do not accuse him of venality, but wherein
pray tell us, is his position particle different
from that of Hales. The matter resolves itself
simply into this: You and we differ in opinion
with Hale about the merit of certain measures.
ard because of such difference you do, and think
we ought to, call him great seoundrel. This is
the state of the case
Let us illustrate. We recollect of prominent
citizen of Eikhorn, (once legislator himself,)
spending a winter at Madison to lobby through
the Central road charter, aud if he did II OF, he
certainly ought to have received pay for the time
and labor he expended. Suppose, assuming
that differ with him as to the propriety of that
charter) we should turn in and denounce him for
venality, pros;tuting himself for pay, &c, &c
Would it be properl And yet this is precisely
