THE Democratic papers of this State

: trict, because, in recent letter to tn
New York Herald, that gentleman cor
/ fessed that the "recent disturbances in
q his State was of purely political nature.
Some berate him for his honesty, which
is very natural in a dishonest press
others scold him for haseness, in making
an assertion which can be so effectively
used to the detriment of the Democratic
party, while others still are bold enough to
charge him with desire to coax Repub-
lican votes to his support, by telling
downright untruths. All of which does
not change the particular facts alluded
to as set forth by Colonel Lamar
Pilot.
The foregoing is double misrep2esen-
tation. 1t misrepresents Col. Lamar's
letter, and misrepresents ''the Demo
cratic press of the State" We would
like for the Pilot to prove that 'he Dem
ocratic press has pursued the course
attributed to it. There are nearly fifty
Democratic newspapers in this State and |
its sweeping language implies that they
have generally held Col. Lamar up to
censure. We defy the Pilot to name
half dozen Of this number in evidence
Of its statement We defy it to name
tive. We defy it to name four. We
lefty it to name three of the number.
We defy it to name two.
The Pilot, after drawing on its imagin- {
'tlon as to "the newspapers, brings itsi t
resources into play touching the
enor of the letter. Col. Lamar stated that :
he reports of the lawlessness which are i
lrculated by INSCRIPTIONS adventures

ted, and that whatever was unpleasant
the relations between the races had
zen brought about by the acts of the F.
administration, which had encouraged
