posEYviLLE, July 9th, 1853.
MR. CARLILE There was an article in
the Enquirer ofthc 22d inst, headed "Judge
Hoyey at home" in which the editor at
tempted to give an account Of the doings of
the convention at Springfield, on the l7th-
Of late there is scarcely an editorial in the
Enquirer but teens with barefaced falsehoods,
but do not think have seen one in that
paper, which contains more malicious false
hoods than that here alluded TO.
He John B. HalD says, after the nomina-
tons were made, the Rovey men attempt
ed to adjourn the meeting, which was '.voted
down by shout" This is lie that no
man possessed Of the common sense of de-
cency could utter in the face of so many
witnesses. The truth is thus: After the
nominations were made, some friend of
Judge Hovey moved an adjournment which
was seconded by number at the same time.
Ny honest opinion is, that the motion was
carried, as the ayes and noes were not
counted. Judge Hoveys friends withdrew
from the convention, and the Lecomptonites
remained, and appointed delegates TO the
Princeton convention.
1t is further stated that il was the inten-
ton of Judge Hoveys friends not to send
regular butvolunteer delegates to the Prince
ton convention, 10 create discord there.
This is a kind of falsehood for just such
Brights striker, as John u. Hall, TO tell.
He also says that Mr.. llovey and Mr..
Shanklin were both called for 10 address
the people. Ipresume Hall was too much
interested at the nearest doggery to know
who was called for, or ifany one was calledf for.
Judge Hovey was not called upon by any of
his friends, or enemies either, to make a
speech. When Jim Shanklin mounted the
fence and commenced telling the people that
he would rather be defeated without the
anti-Lecompton Democratic vote, than to be
elected with it, and when he commenced an
attack upon Judge Hovey, the woods were
made to echo and re-ccho, by the hundreds
present with the shouts of % huzza for How
ey." His name was then loudly called,
but not to make speech.
Again Mr.. Shanklin f" read copious ex-
tracts from the late speech of Senator Doug
las, in which Mr.. d. regards it (the English
swindle) as the best thing that could be
done. Mr.. Shanklin read no such thing
from Mr.. Douglas speech, for the single
reason, it is not there. In Mr.. Douglas
Chicago speech, from which Shanklin read,
he (Douglas) condemns the principles OF
the English bill, in very severe terms; in
fact he and Judge IIoyey take precisely the
same grounds
We all admit one fact, which is rather re-
markable. lie says, wholesome demo
