Letter from PaSsmOre Williamson.

Passmore Williamson, inquiriDg as to the
truth of certain rumors respecting new ef-
forts for his liberation. The following is
the answer, which has been furnished for
publication by the recipien: ~ I. Tri-
Juac.
"No. 78, PHILAD. COUNTY PRIsoN,
Sept 90, 1885.
Dear Sir: Your letter of the 9th
inst, is now before me, and in reply to
your inquiry, may say that con-
template no further legal proceedings with
reference to my liberation from this Jail, in
which l am now confined. have now
been kept here for more than two months,
and l can see no prospect of liberation. l
am a native, and have always been acitiz-

atrociously wronged, l applied to the high
est tribunal known to our laws, but relief
has been withheld l can expect none
from the authority that placed me here,
without dishonorable submission. Having
been guilty neither of falsehood, dissimu-
lation, nor contumacy, l am sure that it is
no case for degrading capitulation. Such
course would bring with it diminution
of self respect more onpreSsirA than the
power now seeking to crush out the high
est attribute Of State sovereignty by im-
muring me within these walls.

rG-Our youthful Argm-eyed neighbors
seem not to enjoy the most desirable spirit
in regard to the defeat of Mr. Barber, and
to be disposed to renew the contest on pa
per at least. They make some mistakes,
and lay themselves open to retorts-but
let it pass. When a point of mere perso-
nal prediction is decided by an election,
1t might as well be dropped. 1t is hard
enough for printers to be obliged to fight,
before election oficruGrds, it is useless
as it is unpleasant. In advocating Esq.
Schrack's election, we believed, and still
believe, We were aiding our county seat !;
be thought, and still thinks, the same. Mr..
Barber's friends stood By him for the same
reason. Each had a right to DO all they
properly could for their election. That
errors Of speech, and Of action, occurred,
on both sides, is evident; but to revive
them, and create any pcrmanon. feel
ing, is unwise, and uncalled for The great
object is secured, and if We fail in some Of
our minor wishes we must remember that
uninterrupted success is not the lot of
morta!s, and that politics is "wery unsar-

ravages of slavery, territory solemnly ded-

other issues have mingled with the second

the Nebraska issue alone has been fairly
