While on this railroad question, -Whlcn l
had hoped never again 10 be compeIieo "
speak oil will take the occasion to define my
n0SitIon relative thereto, which has been gross
IL miSrepresented and misunderstood.
After performing the duty assigned NE ny
the President oil theCorn Exchange as chairman
OF committee to investigate tue charges OF
alleged TO have been practlced
ny the managers of the o., A. & NJ. Il. H.
AGAINST the interest and prosperity OF our city,
| desired to retire from the controversy and
would have 81 done after presenting the unan'
imous report Of that comtnlttee had not TIE
committee been violently assaulted and mlSreP
re>aule, BY the SUPER jealous paIuzans OF 'he
railroad.
When lhe standing of the members OF that
commi,tcc was assalled and personal warfare
waged against myself,it became my DUTY 70 re
pcI it, and in defending myself and others l
rcrhaps may have made some hits that pro-
Inc,l an unplea;snt sensation 10 certain quar-
trr, am charged by you As being OF the
"kil glove" party of this city, If so, let NE as
.rr, ven that when resent an indlgnlty to my
.cIl and friends, my gloves are thrown aside,

The ONLY object which | have had III view
whit, warinp warfare forced upon me, was 10
fry and secure to Acxandrlans and others OF
this Commonwealth the cootrol of work IN
time and means [ always cudcavored to AVOID
personalities, which are dlstasteiul 10 me anu
| Objectionable to the public.
Aware of the fact that $4,000 shares Of the
o., \. Il NJ stock were held IN Baltimore,
chiefly by the managers OF the 6"H"'0|e ON"
OH, Il. H. Co., | deemed 1t proper to warn
-. ,c,pc TT Virginia against the avarlclous
nrorrnsili,. Of that great corporation, of which.
being formerly BaItlmorean, l knew more OF
than ,Eos. lot having the same opportunity as
myself to learn.
The ouy way to guard agaiost their influence
w;II hn 20 secure 20 the State OF Virginia and
c1rnora,i,u Of Alexandria the same representa-
i'm ~ t|,, election for officers Of the Orange
comnapy, as is enjoyed by the Baltimore stock
holders.
These views | have ever entertained, Out
throuoh MISREPRESENTATION, have been cha1g
"a a. IN opponcnt OF Mr. Barbour, and as de-
sirinr To have him removed from the Iresi
tcncy of the Orange company. Such mlsrep-
r. ,rntat5n caused the defeat Of the Conserva
ike candidates for Aldermen and CouncilneL
Ct the 3rl Ward ut the recent election, and Sc
cured the election OF the Radical candidates iol
these positions. :,
Having | trust, fully defined my position II
the recent canvass in this city, and IN regart
70 railroad matters, | hope that L may neVG
again be forced to viudlcate myself tnfouel
the public prints, but be pcrnitted TO Gulel!
attend to NY mercantile pursuits, ~hicn VIII
t,c more in accord with my wishes and diSpo
