WASHINGTON, ), 1872.
Dear Sir: i have seen the letter address
ed to me by you through the public prints,
and notice especially that while in amin
adverting upon my support OF Horace Gree
ley, you say not one word in vindcaton OF
that compound Of pretensions known as
Grantism, in contradiction to republicanism
which you would instil anew in the govern
ment. You are greatly concerned about the
company keep To quiet your solicitude
beg to say that injuring the republicans who
brought forward an original abolitionist, l
find myself with so many others devoted to
the cause have served always, that had
not missed you until you fastened to report
absence, nor had | taken account OF the
Southern seces sionsts, who as you aver, are
now cooperating with me in support of this
original abolitionist, except to rejoice. That
if among my former associates, as some like
yourself hesitate, their places are supplied III
an unexpected quarter. 1ou entirely mlsun-
derstand me when you introduce an incident
of the past and build on it an argument why
| should not support Horace Greeley. What
has Preston Brooks to do with the Presden-
tial election? Never while suff ering did any
body hear me speak of his unkindness, and
now after the lapse of more than half gen
GRAFTON, will not write With you in dragging
him from the grave where he sleeps, 10 ag-
grevate the passions OF political conflict and
| arrest the longing for concord; and here is
the essential difference between you and me.
AT this juncture | seize the opportunity to
make the equal rights Of all secure through
peace and reconciliation; but this infinite
boon you would postpone. Seven years
have passed since we laid aside our arms, but
unhappiy during all this period there has
been . hostile spirittowards each other, while
the rights of colored fellow citizens have
been in perpetual question. Seven years
mark natural period of human lite. Should
not the spirit ~ changed with the body
Can we not after seven years commence
new life, especially when those once our foes
speak, saying, Thy People shall be my Peo-
pie, and thy God my God" | declare my
preference tor an original Aboltionist AS
President, and you seek TO create diversion
by CRYING out that the democrats will support
him, to which I reply, SO much the better
Their support is the assurance that the cause
he has 80 constantly guarded, wether OF
equal rights or the reconciliation, is accepted

The Standard Complaining of Ill rsage

The standard Complaining of Ill Usaee.
EDITOR JOURNAL: The Standard writer
arows in his last paper that we sought
personal quarrel with him by referring to his
military record and says We are inspired BY
somebody A personal quarrel forsooth!
Having used his paper and place to abuse
citizen whom he imagined instrumental in
forcing him to lay aside the lions skin in
which he was parading, abusing the living and
insulting tie dead soldiers-very coarsely
and awkwardly it is true, but still as well as
he was able, "wAle voice and ears and
standing gait betrayed the real animal, he
now whines because we called attention to the
official record of this self appointed champion
of the soldiers honor-this military lieuten-
ant Of froh AID tury-this Mars Of the home
guard of Starks. Somebody Furnished the
in spiration," says he. But the scene of his
military glory is but few miles away and it
needs no inspiration 10 produce the military
and civic record which be thought forgotten
His opinion that "a sensible liar is to be re-
spected' is novel, and, if true, we are sure
no man according to his ability labors harder
than himself to deserve much of the COM
munity according to his theory. He must
remember the attack and its personalities was
all his own and no one but himself is respon-
sibe for its continuance; certainly we must
notice him occasionally in spite of his pitful
fuss, and whether We refer to those proud
moments of his military glory when he faced
his comrades at home but turned his back to
rebels in arms, or that sadder season when he
watched and dosed the Franklin Patriot in
its expiring struggles and stood broken
hearted mourner at its decease, he should not
complain, though the picture is not pleasing
and do not blame him for wishing it
otherwise.
