The foregoing, with the exception OF
the omission of the names of the par
ties to the suit, is copied verbatim from
the letter received by the firm in gEes-
ton. Ii shows how justice Is perverted
under caTpetbag rule. 1t seems ineredi-
he that such acts should be perpetrated
in the name of free government in the
nineteenth century.
THE DEMOCRACY OF PENNsYLvANIA.
The Pittsburg Post says: "The Demo
cratic convention that meets on the
tWenty-seventh instant, at Wilkesbarre,
will lamentably fail to express the SEN
timents of the Democratic party If il
does not utter an emphatic disapproval
of the credit mobilier fraud, the increase
of salaries, and the vote Of back pay to
the members Of the f0rty-second con-
gress. There is no doubt OF what the
people think on the subject, and their
voice ought to find utterance through
the press and the convention" The
Democratic party carried the State in
1852 on secretary Of state, the vote being
Que hundred and eighty-four thousand
three hundred and thirty-two to one
hundred and seventy-eight thousand
one hundred and fifty-five for the Re
publican nominee.

Tine convIctlon of CoIfax.

Beyond doubt Mr. Colfax is a convicted man
His own testimony is as damaging as that o.
Oakes Ames and seems corrlboTatIve of the declar.
ations Of the latter. The eOmmIttse had a special
meeting yesterday morning when ColfAx again
appeared The Vice President was accompanied
by his counsel Judge Hale. From the evidence
produced and letters read that had been received
by Colfsx from MIR. NesbiH, it was shown that
two of them enclosed checks for $1,000. Mr. Col
fax testified that he had received $4,000 in all from
Mr.. Nesbrt'; 5000 before his nomination, $1,000
after Lis nomination and $1,000 IN November
These letters were OOngrAtulatory This Mr. Nesbltt
was not personal acquaintance or special friend
ofthe Vice President who did not know HIM. Bot it
is understood he had been a contractor to furnish
stamped envelopes for the Post Office Depart
ment. Mr.. Colfax asserts, however, that che had
nothing whatever to do with aiding Nesbitt to get
such contracts, as they were made at the Post
Office Department." Mr.. Cofax further says he
had nothing whatever TO do with the reeommeD-
datiOn of board appointed by the Post Master
General
Here it will lie perceived the Vice Presidents
testimony involves other parties, closely connected
with the Post Master General Could Mr.. Col
fax have supposed Mr. Nesbitt intended to pre-
sent him with this money for nothing Hardly.
He has too much knowledge Of the world. The
reception aud retention OF these checks by the
Vice President was beneath the dignity of one
occupying the high position he was filling; and
gentleman serupulously careful Of his honor
would have returned tAem at once. This con-
tractor could have arAyed at the conclusion very
readily that the man who would thus receive his
checks and keep them would also receive the |
checks Of other men-and he certainly would not |
prove 50 ungrateful as to refuse a word of recon-
mendation when 1t was wanted.
In truth Mr.. Colfaxs language heretofore Is so
wholly Ieluted BY the testimony that has been
produced by himself and by Ames that he is now
scarcely credited although speaking under OATH
In short it is doubtful If ever public man was
more fairly convicted, OF charges preferred against
him, than Vice President Colfax has been, by the
testimony toc, Of his own party friends. HIS con-
Vction rejects upon the whole party which sleeted
him aud leads TO the conclusion that there are
many men now in Washington who are influential
in the ruling party who are not wholly free from
some such charges as are made aga inst the Credit
Mobilier bribe-takers.
