4 RENDLE or LETTERS.

We believe we are betraying no confidence in
publishing the following correspondence, placed
in our hands by gentleman obviously high in
| the cOunselS of the Democratic party. Said he,
in turning over the documents: These letters
| show the kind of men on whom we rely to-
day: their gilt-edged heroism; their eagerness
for the fray--so that mere telegram is enough
Ito start them tighting-and their unquenchable
desire to do the great American people good
and plenty. l think the public ought 10 know
the truth about my friends" We think So too,
and so rush these precious epistles into print.
