LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
Some Sharp Contrasts,

EDITORS CONSTITUTION The defeat of Pat
Walsh, by the help and connivance of Senator
Colquitt, whose devoted friend Mr.. Walsh had been
for ten years is deeper matter than personal in.
gratitude. The readiness of Senator Colquitt to
conciliate enemies by the sacrifice of friends is not

Senator Colquitts letter. advocating Bayard, and
