the course pursued by Gen. Williams in
Princeton on his recent visit to that place.
Your informant is mistaken in saying that
in his speech he attacked my character
for integrity and honor, either directly or
by insinuation. Such al indulgence, bold
as he is, would have made the occasion
far more memorable than it is. What he
NAV have done in his private levees, am
not prepared to say, as was not one OF
his admiring visitors.
have thought it just to myself as well
as to Gen Williams, for whom have but
little admiration. to give this disclaimer
His entire abnegation OF the usual cour-
tesies between candidates for the same Of
fee, as exhibited toward myself and Gov
ernor King on that occasion, might very
well relieve me from any obligation to
come to the relief Of his character, but
the support Of my own manhood demands
that l make this correction, which have
no doubt you will readily publish, and, in
so doing, oblige your obedient servant,
w. B. MACHEN.

But great as Gen. Williams regards

essarily monopolize the pages Of some fu-
ture historian, who may delight to hand
down to an admiring posterIty narrative
of his wonderful victories. If he confined
himself to an enumeration of his own acts
of heroism l should not complain, for
these would then be properly measured az
the mere boasting of stilted vanity. But
when in addition to magnifying his own
heroism he seeks to detract from the
merits OF others he treads upon forbidden
ground, and must array against him the
just censure of every honorable mind.
The honor of soldier is dearer to him
than life itself, and however humble the
sphere in which he served. he cannot az
ford to have charges or insnuations made
which involve either his courage or his
fidelity to duty. 1t is distasteful in the
extreme to me, as it must be 10 every man
of proper sensibility, to allude to his per-
sonal service; but every sentiment of self
respect requires that 1 should repel the
assaults of General Williams as they de-
serve. He has seen proper in various
public speeches to refer to me sneeringly
as an Adjutant General in the late war,
nephew of Albert Sidney Johnston, a
friend Of Gen. Breckenridge, and occupy
ing position which removed me from
service in the field, and enabled me TO
keep safely in the rear, enjoying ease and

Belfast, June %. The meetings of the Maine
Universalist Convention have been very fully at
tended to-day, many more delegates having ar
rived last night and this morning A full and
spirited prayer and conference meeting was held
at o'clock this morning, and another from to 8.
The Cniyersalist church proving too small to hold
the public leligio services, they have been held
in the Unitarian church which has been entirely
filed.
At 10 80 a NJ able sermon was preached by
Rev. j. c. Snow, of Auburn, on religious liberty
and its responsibilities
This afternoon the Sunday School meeting was
held at which addresses were made by Rev. S.

AT a business meeting this afe rnoon the eXecu-
tive committee submitted their report, which was
| assigned to to morrow morning, and the following
resolutions on capital punishment, after inter
esting discussion, were adopted by unanimous
rising vote:
RESOLVED, That in the sense of this convention
the penalty of death is unchristian; that it par
takes OF the spirit OF Dark age Is hardening and
oralizing in its influence; that it possesses no
greater restraining power on criminals than life
long Imprisonment at hard labor, and is therefore
no greater safeguard to security and should be
abolished.
RESOLVED, That in view Of the prevalence of
crime in the community, resulting as is believed
from an insufficient execution of laws, are
most strongly impressed with the great necessity
Of policies and measures which shall tend to
quicken the public mind and conscience as to the
importance Of sure and prompt punishment; and
knowing the difficulty of procuring convictions in
cases where the penalty is death, we are more and
more confirmed in the opinion that in the interests
of morality and repression of crime all laws that
provide for the inflction Of capital punishment
are unwise and should be removed from the stat
ute book.
RESOLVED, That we are much saddcncd by the
thought that during the present week, in obed-
ence to mandates of the law, two fellow men are
to be put to death in the prison yard at Thomas
tom and that, as followers of the Great Master
far it is possible citizens of the State, we
wash our hands Of all participation in the barba-
rous deed.
This evening, large meeting is being held for
the consideration of general UNCONVENTIONAL in
terests, at which addresses are being made by
Rev. r. H. Pullman, General Secretary OF the
General Convention, and others.
