The Elective Franchise.

Under this caption the Richmond Exami-
ner, has long, calm article, dcploring the
inertness, and Indifference Of the people,
concerning the various elections which are
held throughout the country, and the actu-
al absence from the polls. Of a large, fear
fully large, number Of the very best, and
most reliable voters. This is lamentable
fact, made more apparent by every succeed
ing election, and especially in the late cleo
ton for Judge. in this district, when We
think hardly one third, perhaps not that
much Of the vote Of the district was polled
This is an evil, which i people, from whom
as the original source, all power and all gov.
eminent emanates, shonld ponder deeply.

No article wascs9 sssftn ~ me against

cognomoa Of Augustus Tomlinson.
The assertion thataI have been the ''ca-
iuminator" Of Gov. Wise, is false. Since
the Fall Of 1854, I have never written,
sanctioned, or advised the publication Of
any article whatever, editorially or otherwise
derogatory to Gov. Wise, and never enc
word against him as private citizen.
The articles written by me. which were
the pcoxiaa4e cause of tho late duel, were Of
political, and not Of a personal nature, and
their design and character we're aot correct
" interpreted by those who believed that
they had discovered 10 them anything per-
sonal. Self-respect alone prevents me from
characterizing, as it merits, the coarse Ian
guage employed by the editor Of the Ne,os,
in referring to an affair Of honor which has
been terminated. y
In performing duty Of Standardization,
/ have made no further reference to private

sary. and feel no disposition to reear to ii

tied, and which your knopn editorship or
authorship would be insufficient to COM
mand
Under these circumstances, was obliged

tibet 'aMr. Augustus Tomlinson." It was
intended to describe you as person who
would resort to breach of confidence, to
act the part ofthe thief Of the reputatica Of
another, even while the theft could net add
TO your own reputation; one who adds n.y.
poerisy to cunning and concealment; pom
pous pretender to moral exceftence. with ~
cffrontery SO devoid Of courage as to become
humbled to piteous suppEcation for pardon
from the man to whem he has done secret
injury atectly cntreating to be spared the
just punishment of his offence, and then re-
paying forgiveness and bepeSofcnce with
new ingratitudo and covert injury.
| Whether this description was just or I'm.
just. let your own memory aud conscience
decide.
Without any grcund cfnoral right what
ever, after having twice betrayed my faith.
and then having provoked and obliged me
to remind you Of such betrayal. you have
chosen to make that reminder the occasion
Of demand on me-which, nevertheless,
am not at liberty to refuse. I abide the is
