All these sentences are 80 carcicssly
worded. aud 50 eNidently not in Mr.. IIcAE's
own language. that we are willing TO be-
heye that his speech was not 50 black a. il
was prinied-that il 10 say. that the re.
porter may have done him injustice. We
trust tha, this is the explanation OF his
seeming Inconsistency.
We reCur to Mr.. IIoAH'S speech because
our attention was recalled to it Yesterday
by a gentleman in this city. We know
tina: Mr.. HoAR has had the opportunity in
the United States Senate 10 learn the true
condition OF things in this section of the
Union: and We trust that Governor
VANCE, or Some.other good Democrat from
the south. will give him chance to eX-
plain in that body at IT. next session the
speech Of which we are speaking. or else
TO II 5iiirm the ialsehood~ II contains.
