that your Judgment and conscience are with
us. You cannot, as good citizen, father, and
Christian, support the Juggers-yon condemn
the whole tribe of JuglteS In The most unmea-
sured terms Truth is eternal-tell your read
ers what you think IN the long run candid
speaking is the most profitable and you will
find in an approving conscirnee larger reward
for honest dealing, than any number Of drum

no doubt but that before a year goes by you
will be willing to forego ali qualification that
the article would then afford you, for the small
matter Of never having written it. Should ]

we will 90 over the matter in friendly way,
that's the way TO talkl and comparing the past
in the light of your article, with that time, we
shall see who has anchored upon sound princi-

So much upon the question generally, upon
which we appear 50 much 10 difirr-and now
for few plain words, upon what relates to me
personally. Did yon think, my dear Grneral,
that your words would carry any terror to my
breast mo! never! when YOU wrote the fol-
lowing Foolish sentence? "Alr. Chambers most

You will pardon ne, sir, Icertalnlyi but the
last thing on earth that ] court, IS The favor Of
the satellites of the Liquor Lragne. Their con-
tempt is the highest form Of their recognition to
which aspire. Did Christ seek the contempt
of sinners, or did be try to save them by mild
words and charitable deportment?l
Even the Errce and Gery ordeal 70 which
your editorial subjects my letter, rather inspires
me- Vith proudrr f4rlipg, for having done my
duty 10 plain, blunt way. There is SO much
10 your comments TO show that your self con-
scionsnrss in the truth of what / say, intertrres
with your logic 10 make out case for the rum
power, that pity the man as much as scorn
the cause be erdeavorS TO uphold. That was
very tough writing, my dear Gene7al--that lea
der OF yourS-and its taits ts--lhough very plen-
tful--do not strengthen lis argumenis-th though
they point a moral. The saddest Of all sights
is to see strong man sinking in the mre and
Fastening his own death by bis own struggles.
