+ polutEcnt confirmed. 1t IS no more than
common justice to Judge TAYLOR to say
that [ give full credit to the entire con-
tents Of his letter, (the greater portion of
which refrain from publishing at presently
and that his conduct in the matter has not
been dictated by any unworthy motive
! The whole blame Of tie affair rests wi. h
Mr.. OLMsTED and our high minded politi-
clans and Attorneys, who could thus stoop
so low (but this is not the first instance)
as TO cndeavor to prosecute me, whose sole
crime in their eyes has been nationality,
religion, aud poverty. l do not feel at all
surprised that the Republican Lawyers
should object to placing an IrsLman in
any position of political influence in this
county. But it will be seen by the fore
going extracts from Judge TAYLoR's letter
that all the Lawyers except one signed
a remonstrance against me, which clearly
goes to show that not only has our beard
less and superanuated Republican Lawyers
signed, but that our would-be Democratic
briefless Barrister5 have signed, as Wei as
framed and drawn up the said remoustranne
men who, when candidates for Office,
will trail an Irshman from one end of the
county to the other, until lie must promise
to work for him. "You know" some Of
these office seekers will say, that I aun
plain "PADDY w." and that new
er will deceive you either in the courtroom
or in the Assembly, and of course you are
all well aware that | should not lead my
self to prescribe an Irshman on account
Of his nativity; nor would | be guilty of
signing petitions prohibiting an Irishman
from holding any Office of emolument or
trust" The fore Going is part and parcel
of the fowery language used for three or
four weeks before election, until these land
sharks accomplish their ends, and then
they will laugh in their sleeves at the Irish
who waded knee deep in mud to secure for
these fellows fat office.
When Mr. OLMsrED secured his nomina-
ton last Fall, through no other channel
than that Of outside talent, influence, and
intimidation, it caused widespread dissat-
istaction in cur party, and open and many
threats Of boiling were made, by myself
as we'll as others. But my object was to
favor the running Of an honest, indopend
cnt candidate, knowing that on account
Of Mr.. OLMsTED's great appropriately and
the large Democratic majority in the coun-
ty wo could elect good man. However,
in the course of a few days myself and
friends concluded that harmony at that
time was the best policy, and we partly
agreed to withdraw our opposition. Some
few days after this determination, I met
Mr.. OLMsTED-who was very careful not
to express so much Indifference with regard
to myself and friends as he exhibits at
present-anl requested that J. should sup
port him, promising me that if elected he
would appoint mo his Deputy. In the
course Of conversation, he remarked that
bis " friends would be mad as h--ll Ito
use his own expressions) if he appointed
me, but after lie got the Office he should
rot care a d--n for them; he would DO
as he pleased, and they miglt--,'
kind reader, III spare your blusbes-hera
he used an expression very familiar to his
lips.
On hearing the above, reflected, and
thought if lie was SO ready to deceive his
intimate friends, why might he not deceive
me? l borrowed day for reflection, and
in the meantime took care to mention the
affaif to one of our mutual friends who
was assisting in the canvass He assured
me that he had full faith and entire conf
dence in Mr.. OIMsrED-that the thing was
already cut and dried, and fully secured
for me. That assurance alone Quilted my
suspicious, and caused my friends to do all
they could towards his election, and to
whose exortion5 be owes his election
And now, that he holds a valuable public
Office, he filings me and my friends to the
winds, but not in a manly manner. He
gave me a chance for three months, during
which time he intrigued with others as I'M
principled as himself, 10 prevent the Judge
from confirming my appointment, and tells
me the day after the Judge TAYLOR leaves
town, that he could assign no other reason
than the prejudices of the Judge
Now, Dir. Editor, TO show you that there
were no charges made against me by the
Court or the Attornios, l refer you again
to one extract from the Judges letter; =
"For some reasons unknown to me, the
of the Bar of your county, with
the exception of one, signed written re
monstrance."
