honorable will appear his political acts as
Representative, when viewed in the light of
impartial candOr and truth. During his first
presence in the Legislature as member, the
subject sof internal improvements by the
State, was the paramount question of State
policy. He took ground in favor of the poll
cy, and was among the first, if not the first
member west of the mountains to see and
admit the Justice and Importance of. aud
vote for aid to the East Tennessee and Geor-
gia Railroad, then known as the Hiwassee
road. In the session of 1851 he voted for
the $500, 900 proposition of bridge aid to the
East Tennessee and Virginia read; but de-
clined to vote for the general or omnibus
law of that session, because not sufficiently
guarded IN his judgment to protect the State
from possible loss. He voted for the act of
1858 because better guarded, but discovered
a defect in it, that it made no provision for
the sale of such roads as might fall upon the
State If they failed to pay expenses and the
interest on the bonds of the State. issued in
behalf of the construction of such roads.
A bill was brought forward remedyiug this
defect in the general act, for which he voted,
but it failed to pass This defect that he
would have supplied, is made manifest in the
failure of only two roads yet to meet inter-
est, and that have fallen to the State as Sc
CURLY. but security that does not guarantee
against continued loss.
He was always opposed to such systems
of general legislation; preferring to vote for
a proposition or measure on its own intrinsic
merits. if he believed it right,to the omnibus
plan; and uniformly voted for or against
measure according as it commended itself to
his judgment, without reference to locality.
His action in regard to the important and
intricate subject of the currency was con-
trolled by the same policy and desire. A
policy to advance the general interest, and a
desire to protect the public gen rally, as well
as in detail, from abuse and loss. Conse-

were represented, and believed to be of utili-

such charters were SO guarded in his judg-

system of 1851, because he thought it would
not meet the exigencies of the country, and

To the Editor Of the Republican,
Please insert the following s'stement.of facts
from officers and men of the second Michigan
regiment, on behalf of Mr.. Horace Howe and
family, OF your town a gentleman living at
No. 63 Fourth street. He aud his family have
been most unustly and maliciously slandered,
and their benevolent and hospitable acts mis-.
represented, to their injury, BY eyiidisposed
persons who have giyeh public report to the
statement, that they had used their influence to
entice our men from duty, and to tamper with
their loyalty, and, under pretence OF friendship,
to treat some Of our sick men to their injury.
On the contrary, while on march to camp, some
of our sick men, unable to proceed further, were
most Hospitality received and kindly cared for
| by them, while our own surgeon gave them the
necessary medical treatment. In all other re.
spects, the conduct Of the whole aaiy has been
ia every particular such as sll who possess no
BILE and generous hearts would approve and
practice and, in return for their many kind
iavors, we are happy TO have this opportunity
to do them justice before the public.
Yours respectfully,

The undersigned, having no knowledge re-
specting accusations against Mr.. Howe, feels,
however, impelled to say that, so far as he was
capable ofjudging, the men OF the second Mich
igan regiment were most kindly and properly
treated hy Mr.. Howe and his family, on the
occasion Of their exhaustion and falling out Of
the ranks on the march to their camp.
