BROOKLYN, N. Y, Aug. Is, 1874.
/ have received copy of the Mont.
gomery (Ala.) News, containing an ar
ticle by Col. Robert Tyler upon an al
legged speech of mine, concerning Jeffer-
son Davis. That speech is a forgery.
Not only did never utter or write any
such miserable stuff, but, the whole world
knows that while many were clamoring
for some sacrifice or victim, everywhere
and always opposed, with intense earn
estness, the shedding of drop of blood,
and resisted, with all my might, the in
huences which sought the execution OF
Jefferson Davis. 1t is not the first
shameful forgery upon me that has been
circulated in the South and West. | am
so heartily DESTROYS of the re-esta blish-
ment of good will between all who have
been alienated, and | so much value the
good will of my fellow-citizens of the
South, that | step aside from my usual
course and make reply to this SANDER.
l am, very truly, yours,
HENRY WARD BEECHER.

The Cincinnati Commercial and the
Republicans generally, say the White
League of Louisiana and other Southern
States must be put down. They said
nothing against the Loyal League when
1t did its malignant work in the South.
What was sauce for the goose is not sauce
for the gander. 1t makes a difference as
to whose OK is gored. However, we think
secret political societies are wrong, and
the White League should disband.

The very appropriate remarks OF Col
Wade, in the convention, Monday, met
with boundless enthusiasm, and with one
voice, the large assembly called upon him
to allow his name to go before the con-
vention, for Senator This, he declined
He counseled moderation, and denounced
in words of whitening rebuke, he who
would seek to array one class against
another, by inaammatory speeches, and
thereby invoke the presence OF Federal
bayonets. His speech has endeared him

That was very infammatory speech
in the convention last Monday by dele
gate from Santa Fe He told his men tc
stand fast to their man, as there were as
good men in the country as there were
in town. His words were true, but his
evident intention to get up a bitter
prejudice against the town, and thus split
the party, was bad spirit, and should
be discountenanced. The ablest man, the
fittest man, and the best man, should be
chosen, no matter whether be found II

The Cincinnati Commercial, which is
usually conservative in its tone and dis
countenances sham, is now busily eDgag-
ed in firing the Northern heart with the
old cry of another rebellion on the part
of the South. When leaders of public
opinion up North are so debased, how
can we expect the people to be free from
prejudice? Halstead, editor of the Com.
nlercjal, had better come back from
Iceland, and run his own paper.
