Legislature for not submitting it to the
qualified voters of the State before it
could became law, | was perfectly will
ling to try on the job and see how it
would fit, and therefore cast my vote
for the Funder candidate in opposition
to The Readjustcr, and have 10 recanta-
tons to make but think it quite injudi-
cious in the "stalwarts of the Conscrva-
tive press to persist in their unceasing
TRADE Of abuse upon the rank and file of
the party of "Readjustment." Gen.
VIM. Malone who seems to be the head
centre of the party, is man of untiring
perseverance, sterling integrity, and
with great intellect, is one of the best
political organizers and party leaders in
the State, and in I'LL probability has al
ready been elected United States Sena-
tor. Who would not prefer him to a
Radical, AT this crisis when there is such
n struggle fer asccndency in the L. S.
Senate? ] can not think there is the
slightest possibility Of the "hero of the
crater" drifting into radicalism, he will
most assuredly spare his many admiring
friends and followers such an Inherit
ance Of political shame. In the folds of
Read justmcnt may be found many of
the +. f. VS. through whose veins there
hn., xtsi
Of radical blood We can all now see
when too late the folly Of ignoring the
opinions and rights Of the wing Of Re
adjustcrs, reading them out of the party,
declaring war to the knife and the knife
to the hilt up on all who dared to fear
their inability to meet the States Just
obligations. Both parties cXerted them
selves TO obtain the FLOATING vote"
most of which ii is reasonable to suppose
was east for the party of REIMBURSEMENT.
And now for the division Of the spols
the loavcs and fishes. Many things
have TRANSFERRED which your correspond
cnt could not have taken part in, but
had the Readjusters been routed, it is
safe to suppose that no outspoken Read
iustcr would have been allowed an Of
flee in the gift Of the other side.
We say to the members of the press
that in our humble judgement much of
this ultra work of decaptation has been
brought on by their bitter denunciation
Of the dominant party. 1t docs no good
to be pouring hot shot into the TANKS of
the Readjustcrs. Nothing can be gam
cd by it. Gen. Mahone's hide is as thick
~ rhinoceros, and he is in the bomb
proof department. You can't touch
him. Save your munitions Of war for
the struggle Of 1880. We are all pas
scngers on the same sold ship of State"
bound for the same port, and having, or
should have the same grand object in
yiew--thc maintenance Of our national
reputation for integrity and honor and
the universal prosperity Of every good
citizen. Let us then cease to handy
these offensive epithcts, suhjugating our
feelings to the level Of surrounding cir
cunstances. Exert our every effort for
the welfare Of our beloved old Common
wealth regardless Of our own personal
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, and thus doing we
will reccive-as we richly deservc-the
unanimous commentator Of an appre-
ciativc populacc, us well rs the sterling
ycomanry Of the country.
Hastily Yours, Sc.
