THE SCHUYLER COLFAX SLANDERS.
To ne Editor OF The NJ Y. Triblae
SIR: Henry Clay is reported to have said that
his political enemies had charged him with the commits
sion of every crime the Deoaogue' And It seems to
be one OF the chief elements OF political warfare 10 make
public men, particularly during Presidential campaigns,
targets all sorts of SANDERS There is no reason why
they should deny their signatures through the
public press that they coundres drunkards thieves
imbecies murderers but is only just that some one
for them should meet damaging statements with
prompt denial The recent charge of rudcEcss on the
part OF Schuyler Coax toward manned soldiers perhaps
no one believed but the gentleman saw TT to puby deny
the SANDER which gave rise TO brood equally vile as the
original and that story MAY be regarded as finally dis
posed Of During the Mr.. COltaX was prominently
kind and benevolent toward the sick and wounded Of the
Union Army; but when the Rebellion closed, whie ms
benevOence toward soldiers did not cease 1t
was extended TO the suffering and faminewasted people
Of the South And while the Southern Famine Refer
raising funds 10 send corn TO starving
families IN the Southern States, he came TO Newfork'
under circumstances of special personal Inconvenience
and loss at the request OF the Commission and delivered
lecture here for their benefit refusing to receive any
remuneration therefor, TO allow the Committee
to defray the expense incurred in complying with their
request Whether he added in any other way to the
900 collected in the North fer this purpose Il not
known but this much he did See report OF the South
