To the Editor of the TinIicator:
SIR-Permit me to ask the favor Of you
to publish this communication in your next
paper.
1 see IN your paper Of last week the fol-
lowing:
can attempt was made the other day to
pass law in the Convention, to prevent
Wise from replying to Baldwin. Stuart
and Baylor voted for it, but Baldwin with
the true magnanimisy of a gentleman voted
against it, and it was defeated"
Without consulting any one on the sub
Ject, but, upon my own responsibility, de-
clare that the above is not true.
Yours truly,
GEORGE BAYLOR.
! With due Difference to Col. Baylor and
the position he holds through the suffrages
OF the people Of Augusta, we are compelled
TO state, in selfdefence, that he does not
know what he is writing about, nor does he
seem to be acquainted with the proceedings
OF the body Of which he is member. As
evidence OF This. and in support of the state
ment we made 10 the paragraph quoted by
Col. Baylor, we adduce the following, TAX
en- from the official paper Of the Convention,
the Rlchmond Enquirer, of the 2Sth ult.:
Here is the vote on the proposition Of Mr..
Garlic, that after Monday next, all debate
shall cease in Committee of the Whole on
the report of the Committee on Federal Re-
latlons:

! 1t will thus be seen that Mr.. Carlile'
! proposition to close the debate in the Com
mittee Of the Whole on Monday last wa
defeated, as we stated, and that Messrs
f Baylor and Stuart did cote for 1t, and Col
Baldwin against it, It is proper to stat,
: that we meant no reflection upon Messrs
: Stuart and Baylor, particularly, for the vote
they east. although it would have looked
better in Col. Baylor to have voted agains
, it also, inasmueh as he had occupied til,
time of the Convention in a speech on th,
subject before it. We merely desired Il
record Our admiration for the spirit mani
, tested BY Col Baldwin, in refusing to throw
any impeachment in the way Of reply tt
$ his speech, after what had passed between
himself and Gov. Wise during its delivery
It would have been as we'll, we think
had Col Baylor consulted some one'' be.
: fore he addressed bis harsh and discourte
I Gus note to US, declaring not to be true, tina
t which the records Of the Convention rrou
to BE- true.
9 We are aware that subsequently reso
: luton did pass the Convention, for which
J all three of the delegates from this count,
voted, cutting off debate, except ten min
! CITES to explain votes, after the 4th inst
r This, however, could not effect the state
rnent we made based upon the action OF til,
Con yention on the 9th on Mr.. Carlile'
proposition:
We with pleasure insert the note Of Col
Baylor, as requested, but feel compelled t.
accompany it with the above facts Will
no disposition to do injustice to, OF flisrep
resent any one, if We know it. we do not in
tend any one to misreprcsent US, if we ear
