statement of the Piqua Enquirer in re-
lation to the remarks of Mr.. V~allandig-
ham. The charge against that gentle
man was, that he Endorsed the views of
the Richmond Enquirer, contending that
it was the duty of Congress to enact a
slave-cod for,the Territories We do

ENoufRER OFFICE, Piqua, Nov. 80, SO.
rs he Editor of Me Enquirer:
Ii your issue of this date Inotice you
have what you are pleased to term a
correction Of the report of Mr.. Ynllan-
digham's speech at large, as given in the
Piaua Enquirer Of the 18th inst. In
stead of the report being alse, it is sub.
true, as can be attested by all
who were present at the supper.
In his speech, on that occasion, Mr..
'VaIandigham took decided ground in
favor of Unconstitutional guarantee to slav-
cry, either by Territorial enactment or
otherwise, until they formed a State
government and were admitted into the
Union. Now, if; this is not ~favoring
the Richmond Enquirer, and a total
abandonment Of the Kansas-Nebraska
Bill and popHA,r Sovereignty, will you be
kind enough to show the difference?
AS to, the charge of eumity ~agains,
Mr.. Yallandighum, it is a mere quibJle.
We have been his personal friend for
years, and aided as much in his election
in October last as any other paper out
side of his district. But we can not
sustain the heresy that the people of
the Territories have not the right to ex-
clude slavery as well as establish it, if
they SO wish, whether itcomes from Mr..
NJ. or any other gentleman. -"
