WASHINGTON, August o, 1862.
To the Editors of the National Republican:
How inconsistent with the wellknown prin.
cples Of your paper is the paragraph In your
local column" Of Monday last, describing the
tizipg the dwelling Of David Atkins. a respec.
table colored man, as a" vile den" and among
" dens Of thieves" As your reporter was not
In company with the guard, 1t is presumed he
came by his Information second. d.handed-most
probably from the discoverer of this vile
den." How befogged are the visions Of the
benighted citizens Of the locality referred to,
that they have not discovered this " vile den,"
which has been located and occupied by its
present inmates for the past thirty years. .Lst
kets for many years, and his woll.knowh char.
acter for honesty, can be testified to by many
in this community. By dint Of industry and
economy he purchased the freedom Of himself,
wife and children; he Ia also the owner Of con.
siderable property. He proved his claim TO
the horse referred to in the article, and 1t was
restored to him. He was not arrested rs the
item implies, and his name has never appeared
In police records. Let his neighbors testify.
The undersigned, residing near David Atkins,
willingly testify 10 the good character Of his
family. EDWARD SoMERs,
WM. H. CHAMPION,
