NR. sICKLEs LETTER OF DEFENCE.

The New York Sun, referring to this letter,
which We published yesterday, remarks:
We would fain believe that the trials through
which Mr. Sickles has passed, have produced in
him change Of heart and of purpose, bnt It
will be noticed that in his justification letter,
skifully as it has been composed, he does not
express single regret that by his hands inno-
cent children have been left orphans, and an
crring fellow creature hurried, unprepared, TO
his last account. The thought Of the terrible
tragedy in which Mr.. Sickles was an actor may
weigh heavily upon his mind, but no evidence
of penitence on account of that bloody deed,
which is known throughout the civilized world,
is given in his appeal to the public. On the
contrary, there is apparent in every paragraph
that spirit of sclishneSs which, it has been
charged, is ono Of the leading traits of Mr..
Sickles' character; and he opens with al i'll
considered sneer at those journals which have
not considered it their duty TO ignore public
facts. or to labor to elevate Mr.. Sichles 10 the
rank Of Il hero.
We arc willing to give Mr.. Sicklcs all the
credit due him for this conformation of his
wifc's oilctce; but when he asks to be restored
at once to public respect and confidence, he
makes quite too large demand upon public
opinion lie must be satisfied to be judged by
his future acts, and to win by consistent life
of virtue and probity the good opinion of his
fellow.citizens
We are not of those who would condemn 4
man to perpetual disgrace for one false step,
fearful as it might be in its results, but virtue
would have no protection, and morality become
{. mere name, if society condoned offences
against its laws with the same facility that Mr..
Sichles has forgiven an offence which stirred IN
his bosom the foulest passions of his nature
Mr. Sickles must bear the penalty of that pub
lie opinion which his own acts have provoked,
and he is not vet in n position to claim that the
penalty is unjust, or that he is much injured
man and model of Christian charity.
