In your letter of yesterday, You specify as

quantity of palpable untruths into the same
limited space, and. further on the term
false allegation" By these special phrases.
as well as by the general tenor OF the articles
OF which they arc marked illustrations, con,

untru,h Of certain specified allegations con-
tanned in your own editorial oil Monday last,
which allegations were untrue and which
nearly concerned me. In making this asscr:
ton was careful to restrict myself to state
mcnt that the specified allegations were untrue,
without making any charge of nsinccrity
against their author.
2nd. As to the general tenor Of my editorial
articles. In your own article while disavowing
a charge OF immortality against Gov. Wise, you
described private letter of his, which was
published without his consent, as mcrlting IRE
probation" In my reply, intcnded-lst.
Totally to deny the justice of this description
Of Gov, Wisc's letter. 2nd. To apply to the

YOU had ascribed to Gov. Wise's letter.

Mr.. Wise has learned from Mr.. Seldom that

preston that this Withdrawal was recommended
or suggested by all the parties. in conlcrence,
including the friends Of Mr.. Wise. This, in 'hr
