The following is from the editorial
columns of tue Madison, Madison parlsh)
Journal:
We have read with great deal of salts
faction q letter written to the New York
.S,a in rcfutation of certain scandaious ana
malicious charges against Governor War
moth, which were published III that jour
nal a few weeks ago. i'll letter purporting
to have been written i'll New Orleans. we
are sorry that our limited space Will NOT
permit us to publish the letter entire for
we know that every good citizen OF Loulsi-
ana feels that the character and moral
standin" of his chief magistrate is part OF
his own dignity and selfrespect, and how
ever much he may differ with him Oh poilt'-
cal questions, or however ready he may &c
to condemn the politician or leader OF a
party. lie yet feels very tender interest Ill
all that touches the character anu 0lSnlty
of the chief of the State.
Governor Warmotii's history as chief ma
cistrate of Louisiana is before its people
and has been scrutinized more closely, we
apprehend. than that OF any OF his predeces-
sors. So far us that is concerned, we expect
that eveey intelligent citizen has long since
dismissed from his mind the various vague
and indefinite charges which were so indus
triously coHocted and circulated lew
months ago. as the offspring of malicious
| and vin.lictive folly. OF his previous his
tory, us officer in the army. treasury agent,
| etc. or people were not so wellacqualnted.

| refutation with the satisfaction We have
| From official Recommendation inconUoVeFt-
| ibIc facts and tigurcs-the author has re-
| tuted every charge that we have seen or
