Editors Of The Whig;
Enclosed plssse snd i've dollars for which ssn 1
sae one copy Of your paper Twelve months I have
been sabscriber 70 the wHie since the close Of tbs
ear, and must confess that believe Il 10 bo the
most rosoluse, determined and saeacioHs paper pub
listed in che State Ny subscription only expired
short time ago, aud ] intended 70 renew as my
ssars, until saw slandercus latter in the Press
and Hsrald, of The 10Th instant written BY one Of
our sntbusiastic Conservative brsthrsn from Tai
bots station, IN this county who says. 81 would
Ike to zee ss many Of your excellent Conservative
papss circulating through the dark reesssss and
tocres conclayes Of Cur CID county Of jefferson as
possible, that soc may Be redeemed from the thral-
dom Of negro equality Radieals--men who are n D.
king fools and tools Of The poor African 70 sob,srvs
tasir base and reasonable purposes."
am truly sorry that Jefferson county iIss within
hsr limits man 60 base, 90 lost 70 Af sense ef honor
asa 5eoeacy as to presams thst Jefferson county,
Or any considerable portion Of her sOvvreign',
ROuld con0escend 20 even read the littis dirty
sght-byteh sheet spoken Of in his letter as ezos-
leus' much less 20 be inhnea5ud.ty such a aconcern
published In The interest Of treason and rebsllion
Jefferson county stands vindieated before tie Amer
can people for her loyalty, patriotism and fidelity
~ the cause Of freedom and human rights I had
aucied that tha question Of negro equality as now
settled with the adoption Of the rebeleonsarvativ
platform at Nashville, on Che eve Of the lrs. State
election but they must have something 10 prate
about aud this seemed TO have been their lost con
ygniant tool ever sncs the closo Of the late slave
holdors rebellion, for which they &sve struggled 50
bard, and Tor which they yet sympatbiss snd pray,
b.isying ths, through tie recreant johnson, Fow-
isr aud others, TIE lost cause ay yet be revived,
and ultimately succeed In ovofth-owing repoblica an
government and republican institutions
I am not amazed st So much spluttsr over the
negro equality" question, when consider the con.
due. and character Of the men who resort 70 such
Tow ,..seaE aaa intrgue 70 prejudice the minds OF
good ciuzenB- aad 20 deter them from voting tbe
Republican ticket. They have never shrank from
any intrigue no matter how low or how debasing
that their lov instincts and corrupt nature dictated
and they have thereby reduced themselves below
the negro in tie estimation Of Ell respectable and
refined people. II s 20 be hoped, however, that
they arc beginning realize she magnitude Of their
crime and that, sooner or later, they viii inaugu.
rate systen. Of reform that viii bring them back
10 their former status among men. We would Jus,
suggest 70 The gentleman who writes from TAlbot''
station, that be had better emigrate; and We know
o. no better place than Utah to recommend, IS be
seems TO be demorslifed both in biS religious and
political principeB II ia believed that the ClimatS
Of Utah, together with the wholesome CD laws d
Shat Territory, would suit the gentemans taste d
we'll as his religion and We can't think Of anything
better vt present 10 recommend 10 the gentleman
who seems 20 be so terrified over the negFos rising
10 6e bis superior in respectability and refinement
We wll allow the gentleman TO pass with thssefou
semarksi and, 10 faol we should not have noties6
him st al II we had not intended 70 write any how
