New YORK, July 2Oth.-The Herald, Of
Daniel E. Sickles, in which he corrects a
statement made in that paper yesterday, re-
garding the recent event in his domestic
relations. He says:
The reconciliation was my own act with
out consultation with any relative, conneXion,
friend or adviser Whatever blame, if any,
belongs to the step, should fall upon me-
am prepared to defend what have done
before the only tribunal | recognize as hav-
ing the slightest claim to jurisdiction over
the subject-my own conscience, and the
bar Of Heaven. | am not aware Of any
statute or code of morals which makes it in
famous to forgive woman, nor is it tit to
make our domestic life a subject of consul
dear to US, and cannot allow even all the
world combined to dictate to me the reputa-
ton Of my wife, when | think il right to
forgive her, and restore her to my confidence
and protection. II | ever failed to com
prehend the utter desclate position of an
offending though penitent woman, the hope
less future, with all its dark possibilities of
danger to which size is doomed, when pro-
scribed as an outcast, | can now see plainly
enough in the almost universal howl of de-
nunciaton with which she is followed to my
threshold, the misery and perils from which
| rescued the motler of my child, aud al
though it is very sad for me to incur the
blame of friends and the reproaches of many
wise and good people, shall strive to prove
to all who feel any inesest in me, if | am
the first man who has ventured to say to the
world an crring wife and mother may be
forgiven and redeemed that, in spite of all
the obstacles in my path, the good results
of this example shall entite it to the imita-
ton of the generous and the commentator
of the just. There are many who think
that an act of duty, proceeding solely from
affections which can only be comprehended
in the heart of husband and father, is to
be fatal to my professional, political and
social standing. If this be so, then SO be it.
Political station, professional success, and
| social recognition, are not the only prizes Of
ambition; and so long as do nothing more
than to place my family under the roof
where they may find shelter from contumely
and persecution, do not fear the noisy but
fleeing voice Of popular clamor. The mul
nd tbair tfrct, q
few, but in the end men think for themselves;
and if | know the human heart, and some
times | think that in a career Of mingled
sunshine and storm | have sounded nearly
all its depths, then may re-assure those
who look with reluctant forebodings upon
my future. Be Of good cheer, for VIII not
cease to vindcate a just claim to the respect
Of my fellows. While to those molly groups
here and there who look upon my msfor
tunes only AS weapons to be employed for
my destruction-to those | say, once for all:
If man make good use Of his enemies,
they will be as serviceable to him as his
friends. In conclusion, let me ask only one
favor OF those who, from whatever motive,
may deem it necessary and agreeable to
comment in public or private upon this sad
history, and that is, to aim all their arrows
at my heart, and, for the sake of my limo
cent child, to spare her yet youthful mother
while she seeks in sorrow and contriton the
mercy and pardon of Him to whom, sooner
or later, we must all appeal"
