you, in my last communication. and that
was, that you give the name of tha. lawyer.
knew then l could convict you of false
hood, in every important position you had
assumed in regard to my course, and was
satisfied that ifyou would name that lawyer,
| could also nail it to you there. Why did
you not name him? You dared not do it,
1t is well known you could not have over
looked that demand. But Judge S. tells us
that lawyer is Herndon. Now sir, hurl .
that falsehood back in your face, deep and
double dyed as it is. Inyour first cOmmu-
nication, you state "that lawyer Of good
standing was consulted and his opinion CO.
incided with that of Judge S. and myself
This is falsehood, first, because Herndon
never gave you any such opinion. He says
that he told S. don't know, suppose you
could re-dppoint him and have the order
made, stating that he was rc-aPpointed Tor
two years from Nov. 1856" it is false, sec
ondlf, because YOU say IRE consulted a law
yer-ecs when 5. says lie and then stated
that false.
Now, sir, am ignorant YET that yog and
s, consulted a lawyer. But there is another
inlsehood in this matter. Burton sustains
me when he says that it was after the voting
that Sweatnam said lhey had obtained coun.
sci. He says she is guilty Of the same Of
fence when he denies his concurrence III our
opinion of the legality OF Mr.. s., removal"
Dealhcrage says that ected on the ground
that the Court could only appoint at the reg
ular tern OF appointment; that is the law. |
never had any idea that they were going TO
dismiss HIM for failure of duty until Dlgges
says SO in his first communication. Why
did I refuse TO yote-why did | tell tie
Clerk that would have nothing 10 do with
! Iit-why tell him If the X. Ms have got me
they have not got the Cf,cc- why tell Death
/ erage that the appointment was Illegal be-
| fusc left the courthouse? He says "he
violates truth when he says lie did not vote
/ for Hendrix" Burton and Deatherage both
sey did not vote for II. | am sustained in
that also. Judge ID. is SO certain that he
can convict me OF one thing If | will only
deny it, that he has twice dared me deny il,
charge that he can't wait any longer, but III
the same sentence where he dares me to de-
ny once proposing to turn S. out, he says,
''and in denying the entertainment of that
opinion has basely lied, )" &C. Now Judge D.
you say hare (has) basely lied Sc, in
this denial, when the denial has no, yet been
made. This is the most malicious aud VEN
omous charge you have made, and yet any
school boy can see that you have trumped
up a denial yourself and then charged it Oh
me, Just as you did in SIS removal. There
is, i'll reality, but one issue in this matter,
though there are several points, and that is:
was the Court unanimous in Mr.. SIS re-
moval? Judge ID. made this the burden Of
his first communication. distinctly denied
it, and he says no more about the unanimitv,
but in speaking of Hendrix admits "the dis
agreement ofthe Howard County Court"
Now Judge Digges, let me tell you am
done with this matter, so far as newspaper
controversy is concerned. When | wrote
my first communication, spoke by the card.
l knew what could prone; and let you pub
lish as many more SANDERS as you think
proper, shall not reply to them publiciy--
I have convicted you of falsehood on every
issue, by the most undoubted testimony, and
Of maliciousness unsurpassed in newspa
per controversy. will forbear to speal; of
that deep and danning iniamy which attach
es itself TO one 50 degraded, so lost 10 all
sense of honor, as 10 seize upon the private
character of another. which is dearer TO him
than his life, and hold it up to the public, in
false and distorted colors; who would tear
down and destroy the fairest reputation, to
cover up the corruptions Of his own polluted
heart. But sir, you have been foiled this
time, and the deep tide of falsehood and in
fanny rolls back upou yourself And if you
think yourself aggrieved by anything l have
said, it shall be my highest pleasure to rem
der you any personal satisfaction you may
think proper to demand.
