ire-eaters of South Carolina against the old |
Jackson party. The course you pursued was
your own business, not mine. But, DR., you |
are the last man in this county that ought to |
lecture men FOR inconsistency, and II you and
those wthwhom you act, succeed in brow
beating men into humble submission, that |
wonld be the last Of that mans political lib
erty. All this coarse and ungentlemaply a.
buse upon any party, is wrong in every re-
spect it can be viewed in. II abuse is all

You nave slipped out of your denunciatory
course against Judge Kennon heretofore, as
lightly as possible. This course your situa-
ton demands. You now want to use his
influence to 5btain Office; now he is the pink
of the true Democracy; before, when he
would not fl after your pride and vanity, then
he was an old Hartford Convention federal
ist, and you would have your arm cut off be-
fore you would even vote fer him. II his
popularity should fail to elect you this fall, it
may be that you would leave the party again.
If you do so, would expect that you, as
formerly, would defame him again as feder-
alist; but will not pretend to Judge Of the
course you will pursue, but do know the
course you have pursued for some years.
You seem to think your famous Peoples
line project, at Columbus, saved a large sum
Of money. Ibelieve, sir, that's the best bait
you could hold out for reelection, hence
presume, you are a reform candidate, aud
will again, as before, save the people great
sum of money, by bargain and sale, to elect
some favorite into Office. think, sir, you
need make no arrangements this time.
You made puny and silly effort in your
last to evade the effect of my reply, by pra-
ting about literary curiosities. Sir, have
given the community two concerning you,

myself, it was not sought after by me;

wounds like a PHYSICIANS knife, when used

effects would, in political view, bury you,
like Pompey, in dishonored grave, all Of
which you had brought on yourself. For
the sake of your very respectable family and
connections, would have gladly buried you
beneath the shady branches of some lofty
evergreen cyprus tree, upon your own lovely
mount Of Jacob, beneath its lofty trees, your
mortal remains 10 rest in peace, on IS beau-

tha, mighty republic of just and pure spirits,
made perfect around the throne of God,
whose brotherhood you would recognize, and
never defame. These are the feelings of
my heart to you, and all other men in The
image of their God; but, sir, when you arouse
me by attacking me, will continue to write
your political dea,h-doom, in words of with.
ering shame.
You concluded to have little sport with
my feelings, therefore you sent letter to me,
to put me on the stand to answer up ques-
tons 10 you, and sent you basket Of figs,
and in with the figs was ali Asp as deadly as
the one that caused the death of Cleopatra,
which Asp you should have prevented from
singing you 10 death; but you have pursued
the very course to cause that result, and you
cannot now prevent it. You have also fail.

lead the Democratic party INTO the promised
land, as Moses did the Israeiites, through The

Of your efforts to dtuge the American party

they followed after Moses and his men.
