AJAcksoS DENoRAr,
IL is not tbs custom Of the ADVOCATE
TO notice anonymous communications, cs-
pecially those characterized by both i'm
pertinence and Ignorance. The author Of
tho above article, published IN last week.
Seatiael, exhibits such vast amount Of
both, that it is with hesisaney we give him
so much Importance as to editorially allude
to him. His opinion that the ADyocATE
surrendered to Mr. Wolfe in recent dis
CUSTOM is an irrelevant allnsion, aud also
an unimportant ono, as he writes himself
down as ignorant Of history little further
ON in his Communication, and thus demon
stratcs his iacompetency to judge. We
took issue with Mr.. Wolfe on these his
toricaI subjects tho position Of the Fed
eralists ii the lust war with England, the
burning Of blue lights, the objects Of the
Hartford Convention, and the Kansas i'm
brogIio- On all these points we clearly
and conclusively demonstrated the truth
Of Blackburn Il McDonalds History, BY
historical and documentary proof, to the
satisfaction of all who had intelligence
enough TO comprehend the nature of evil
dence and were not impervous to the
truth. Beyond that we did not propose
10 60, and closed the discussion on our
part. But Mr. Wolfe chose to go further
ia bis examination Of the book in ques-
ton. That did not concern US; we were
not bound to follow him any further than
we proposed TO do in the outset. The
boast of his friends that the ADVOCATE
surrendered, was proof, not Of the truth of
their boasting, but Of their predetcrln;na-
tion TO admit nothing in opposition to
their preeoncaiycd opinions. OF what use
was further discussion, when the most in
dubitable evidence was denied? Had the
aisrussiun prcrcrduu uurrI me present, me
result would have been the same, us far as
the Judgment Ofthesc incompetenis is con
cerned
The writer's ideas Of the freedom Of the
press are refreshing, and his insinuation
that the ADVOCATE attempted to pervert
history for partisan purposes, is not war
raused by the article he essays to critieisc,
and i The outerowlh of lack Of knowl-
edge coupled with malignity.
The object Of the Advocate in allud-
ing TO Mr. Hayes misapprchcnsion Of laws
and his erroneous representation Of facts,
was to demonstrate his fallaeious reason
ings to support his veto. Mr.. Hayes en-
deavofcd TO sustain an analogy between
the present law permitting military inter-
ference with elections and certain other
laws, and cited the one by which, as he
stated ii, jackson crushed out notification,
as an example. Gen, jackson did not
crush out Modification as Mr.. Hayes rep.
resented, nor did the law which was pass
ed 70 enable him to act IN emergencies,
confer any such power as the present laws
do. After South Carolina passed the Nal.
Iiieation Ordinance, Gen. Jackson was
willing to crush out resistance to the col
lection Of the revenue, but tho laws did
not eunfer power upon him TO act, or we're
very inadequate, and he sent message to
Congress asking necessary legislation This
was 10 January iG,I 1888, and il was not
until the Ind Of March following That
Congress granted such Legislation. There
was nothing permitting interference at
elections BY United States military in the
elores bill as il was called, aud such
dangerous measure il was thought TO be
By strong party IN Congress, that ii was
not permitted to stand upon The books
longer than absolutely necessary, and it
expired 81 lilniiation IN june, 1884. Be
