At many places kerosene oil is the

very generally used for portable

In your issue of this date, under

proceed to attribute the same to me.
and upon this assumption to indulge
in some very uncomplimentary com
ments.
All that | have to say in reply is
that your assumption is absolutely
false-false in suspicion. false in in
ference, false in fact. | never saw
the editorial to which you allude un-
til | saw it in print. So far, there
fore, from being 'tinged with my
Characteristic venom" it contains
nothing for which | am in the slight
est degree responsible
Upon the other hand, let us look
at your attitude. This is the third
time in your journalistic experience
that you, upon Il suspicion or an as
sumption equally false and ground
less, have Wantoniy and gratuit0us-
ly assailed me, and for no other rea-
son, that l could ever imagine except
the fact that the editor of the
Statesman, an old and tried friend
of my childhood and manhood, has
espoused my cause. Upon which of
US now should rest the charge of
Characteristic venom ? Upon me,
who has silently borne your unjust
assaults for ten years, beginning in
1872 or upon you who have upon
your own unauthorized and unjust
suspicious, assaulted me, my repu-
tatiOn and character ?
Upon the whole, | am confident
that every honest and fair minded
reader of your paper will agree with
me, when | say, that if l had been
conducting a newspaper us long as
you have, and had fallen into the
gross error Of abusing an innocent
person upon an assumption, with no

utterly false and groundless,

HON. A. R. BOTRLOR.

Hon A. r. Botelor, who has been
appointed a member of the Tariff

tariff question in speech delivered
in Congress on the 25th of January
1850, from which we extract the
following:

tective tariff. Sir, | have said

ours, from the AroostoCk to the

would have every farmer throughout
the land feel as he scatters the gold
en- grain in the burrows, that, next
to the providence of Almighty God
who sends the sunshine and the
showers, the seed time and the har-
vest, his Government discriminates
for his interests and not against
them. | come here, Sir, to vindi-
cate that principle, side by side with

THE latest dispatches point to a
collision between the forts and fleets
at Alexandria, in Egypt. This war,
when begun, and the indications are
that it will be soon, will touch the
honor and material interests of Eng
land and France more deeply, per-
haps, than any war since the
Crimean. England has wasted her
time. She ought to have acted
promptly AZ the time of the bloody
massacre in Alexandria a few weeks
since. a few well-directed broad
sides from her ships of war at that
time might have settled matters, but
her fleet at Alexandria looked ON
while hundreds of Christians were
butchered. That was the opportuue
moment for prompt and decisive
action on her part. But she has
delayed until the present. 1t is,
however, better late than never.
