Lawson JohnsOu's Lett er.

Editors Dispatch
Gentemen,-At, meeting Of Jefferson
Ward Republican Club, held June 10th,
committee was appointed to inquire into
and report upon the contents OF Lawson
Johnsons letter, published in your issue of
the 18th instant. Last night said committee
made their report to that body in effect that
said letter was unanswerable, and that the
subject be referred back to the Club, which
report was eventually received and adopted.
Whereupon MIR. johnson was called upon
to answer for his sins Of commission and
omission. During these proceedings many
persons became excited about the purport
and meaning of the letter, and had all been
true, as claimed by the enemies OF this ter
rible communication, no more argument
was needed, and none was given by its
friends to establish its truths. MIR. johnson
made several attempts to explain; at each
effort there were so many questions asked,
and 50 many calls to order, and SO many
giving the lie, that confusion became worse
confounded. Free and fair discussion was
out of the question and out of place. 1t was
another demonstration of the bad influences
of bad men leading ignorant men. whose
hearts and efforts would be generally right.
if really honest and good men, who wish
them well, could get their confidence and
attention. hEPUBLlo AN. ~
