HERNAND9, MISS, Sept. =.
To the Editors OF the Appeal:
saw in the Avalancle OF the 29.h
ul'. the AIT Gle over the signature of
one Marceilus. pretending to report
the speech Of Judge Morgan, deliver d
at Byhalia, Miss, on the night of
August 23i. read with pleasure the
"card OF co rtctioh" by Judge Motesn
in the APPEAL ard the Ardlqnche of
the 3lst u t. Ii tbs people of the Sec
oud District Of Misssalppi could give
any shade If credit to those statements
of Marcellus, to which publ C attention
is called in the card of Judge Moraan,
soma injury m gut result to our Con-
eres $40 al cand date in this district. |
do not feel that the sid article, offered
through the Avalanche, really needs
furthee notice toxn 1t has 80 aptly re-
ceived at the hands OF Judge Morgan
but, when manifest injustjcs is al
tsmpted toward him by making palpa-
bic, wilful and slanderous misrepre-
sensations for the sole purpose OF DO ng
him an undossrV.d injury, it
is net an easy matter for
one who has known him loLg
and well TO remain altogether silent,
especial y since the thrdst is made not
ouly dire tly at Judge Morgan, but
indirectly also At The Democrat c
party, aud intsnded to further the in
teres: OF Gen. Chalmers.
do no. suppoje theie is decent
voter in The Second District VINO
whould have believed to b. true the
statements referred t., even il they
had bean permitted to 70 entirely ia
coutrldicteC. ventuIe to say no
man who knows Judge Morgan, or
who is q friend to the Democratic
party, aad therefore to the cause of
good government, would attach any
credit to such etatements,e though
they should be delivered under oath
by this Marcellus until Lis bead
SHOULD grow as gray as q rats. The
writer has known Judge Morgan per
sonally, intimately ana colfidentially
for qui e a number of years, and
never his he known him to utter such
sentiments, either publicly or phi
vate'y, but his views and expressions
have always been strictly to the con-
trary. II ia unfair, nay, cowardly, in
any man, bs he of whatever political
sentiment or denomination, TO will
fully misrepreseut even his political
eaemy; and it 10 bad policy, TOO. be-
cause when the real truth is msd5
known he signa ly fails to do the de-
sired injury but advances the cause OF
his enemy. Let me reassert through
the medium of the APPEAL that the
candidacy OF Judge Morgan 10 indorsed
by he people OF this district to the
extent that he will be returned to the
Fitch Congress of the United States
by sn increased maj GRITTY, notwith-
stand ng the occasional would be at
tacks III sds upon him by few copper
headed ''top waters," and the mighty
struggles OF Misstsippfs Mahont &.
The gallant Dem Gratis and the other
good reopie of the district have I'M
bounded faith in the Sbiity and intee-
rity Of their candidate. In the dark
and desperate struggle OF 1S75-76,
when a Rad sea Of Radicslism SUI
rounded us on every side, it was the
brave, heroic and noble Morgan,
ba' ksd by Others, who led us to vie
tory, and this people will take cara OF
the matter Ct his reelection in Nc
vembtr next. am proud to be able
to sssure you Of the fscr that the Hon.
]. r. Morgan will be reelected to Goa
eres with many ballots to spare,
though fsw mon with white faces
ma continue to "kick" and cast their
votes for political nondescdpt who
represents scarcely more than himself
and the political slop Of the diatrct.
