Mr.. Editor My name having been
used at the late Rebel meeting held in
Westminster, on the 10Th inst, as one Of
its Vice Presidents, permit me through
! your columns to shy that it was wholly
unauthorized. have been an uncon-
ditionai Union man throughout the war,
and do not! deem myself d fit subject for
rcconstruetionsa this tate day; espcci-
ally such reconstruction as must follow
at the hands ofthe men who composed
that meeting, and who have opposed the
war and the very existence Of the Gov
ernmcnt during its darkest hours Of

We copy the above fromthc Sentinel,
of last week
We can assure Mr.. Ways, that his
name would not have been put on the
list.of Vice Presidents Of the late John
son Meeting ut Westminster, had not
the Managers been assured ON response
bic authority that he was a thorough
johnson man, had promised to attend
tho meeting, and could be relied on. II
it was wholly unauthorized, we are very
sorry that he has been placed 10 false
position but we can assure him that il
was intended as an honor, no matter in
what light he may consider it, Wearc
particularly sorry, because there we're
enough consistent Union men present
from Freedom District, who would not
have backed out from the honor
We arc sorry too that Mr.. Ways, in
vindicating himself, shouldth proper
20 characterize that meeting Of the sin
cere friends Of President johnson as q
'Rebel Meeting" If he thinks the
epithet justi6able, because the most who
attended were Democrats, We would ask
him TO designate what proportion Of the
latter he considers Robcla. The Dem
| ocrats Of Carroll county, pretty general
/ y disliked the war, because they con.
sidered IL the result Of Northern Adolf
ton agitation, aud consequently felt
exceedingly great pain whilst they saw
their fellow citizens butchcring each
other. Yet they disapprovcd also the
course Of the South in appealing 10
arms and, during the war paid their
taxes, and furnished thair quotas, in
support Of government, quite as well as
their neighbors ; and We might add, il
it be any credit that they paid for sub.
stifafes quite as freely as the most cx.
cessiyely loyal men around them With
what justice then docs Mr.. Ways uBdcr-
take TO charge that the men who com,
posed that meeting were those who
have opposed the war and tho very cx,
istenec Of the Government during ia
darkest hours Of trialy' lie should
know that the meeting was made up Of
original Union men, and Democrats, al
Of whom were filed with joy at III,
thought that the South is not lost to "a,
Union and that. under thclcad OF Pres
ideut Johnson the miserable anatica
crew from the North viii soon be hurled
from power, aud the government be re
constructed as near Ar possible IN lis Old
condition.
We would not be surprised IL Mr.
