"The Scovel Defection."
We publish elsewhere a letter which haa been
banded us by Mr. James M. Scovel, in
which he endeavors to justify his "eccentric
behavior" a few days since, or rather, we
should say, he utters a wild philippic against
such persons as have been tngaglng In the
field sport of hunting him "like a partridge to
tho mountains." We have cheerfully opened
our columns to the gentleman for his own
defense.
We know of no one who Is supposed to be
more able to make an excuse than Scovsl,
and we therefore give room to his own argu
ment to the detriment of that of his new
trlcnd, the New York World. That the
writer has utterly and entirely failed to justify
his conduct Is evident to any disinterested
observer. Dis letter is a tissue of misrepre
; scntations, wild denunciation, and useless
appeals to his own conscience. What ice
appeal to is the enlightened intelligence of
the citizens of his native State and the opi
nions of ever) honorable man, we care not
what may be his politics, and not to a moral
monitor whose perceptions have been per
verted by treachery and Ingratitude.
Let us look, however, at what the honorable
Senator says in extennation of his desertion
of party and violation of promises. He goes
back to the election of lion. Johit P. Stock
ton, and examines the record la regard to
the election bv a plurality rule in the joint
convention. What may be his object in so
doing is hidden from us. What had Mr.
Scovel in February, 1808, to do with the
original election of a gentleman : whom
the United States Senate had declared not
entitled to a seat on its f oor ? Who author
ized Jamkb M. Scovel to sit as judge and
releree on the action of the highest delibera
tive body in the land and yet this State Senate ;
or, inflated with conceit and intoxicated with
vanity, presumes to say that Mr. Stocktoic
was wrongly ousted by a majority of the
upper house of our national Legislature!
The audacious assurance thus evinced
would do honor to Balzac. But passing by
the impropriety, the irrevelance of tbe quota
tion, let us eee what the writer says of tho
Convention which elected Stocktok. He
Bays, "It (the plurality rule) was passed by
Republican votes in joint meeting, against my
protest."
lie thus endeavors to throw the blame of
the illegal election of Mr. Stockton on the
Republican party, totally ignoring the fact
that in a joint convention which could ehct
by a lurgc majority a Democratic Senator, the
Democratic party, having the power, must be
responsible for any law adopted. II the Re
publican votes, without the aid of the omnipo
tent Scovel, was able to pass the plurality
law, then why was it that they were utterly
unable to) elect their candidate? No, Mr.
Scovel, the Democrats, who were friends of
Mr. Stockton, used their influence to secure
the plurality rule, and on them, and not on
the Republicans, rests the responsibility.
But while taking the trouble to set Mr.
Scovel right, we cannot see that tho ques
tion of the legality of the election lest year
has anything to do with the present case.
The Senate has unseated a member from New
Jersey. It, and it alone, is judge of its
actions, and all that the Legislature of oar
neighbor has to do is to quietly proceed to
11 the vacanoy. So much lor the first part
cf the letter.
t "A man," says this modern Solon, "with an
empty pocket, can defy the world, the flesh,
and Jthe devil." This is curious. Such a
statement reminds me of a little story we
heard attributed to tho agent of the Camden
and Amboy. A man applied for the position
of a conductor. He was refused because he
did not possess a watch. The next applied
with the article and received the coveted post
The agent shrewdly explained his : "If a man
has a watch and all the paraphernalia oi a
gentleman, then he will be satisfled with his
salary; but if he lacks these ornaments, then
the Company will be robbed in order that he
may secure them."
Go to the agent, Mr. Scovel; consider his
ways and be wise ! A man with an empty
pocket is the one who desires to have it filled.
Tut money in thy purse" is a motto for
hungry legislators. W would rather trust a
rich man than a poor one in the possession of
political trust. It is evident that Mr. Scovel
has Inverted the order of his premises. But
enough of this foolish saw invented by the
Senator from Camden.
"I require that the caucus should ; name
the man before I agreed to go Into joint Con
vention." A Dajuel come to Judgment.
This dictator, this arbitrator of the fate of the
Union party, is to sit quietly in his chair, to
which he was elevated by his colleagues,
and wait until the choice is made and sub
mitted to him for ratification. Suppose he sees
fit to veto their nomination, they are to go
back and eelect another, and bo on
until tbey choose one of the four men
named by him. And who constituted him
the Judge, the ruler, the king of the Union
caucus ? This man was sent as a Senator
one of a dozen. As a constituent part of the
caucus he has his due share of power, and it
M 9ftlj tbQ necessities, tug ttccldeatal arid un
fortunate difficulties to which th party is
subjected, that has enablad him to dare to ask
such regal privileges. ' ' ' . ' ' .
"I am right within the doors of my con
science, and who dares to say that I will
not to Into Joint convention for Felix, Van
dyke, or Gbeoobt?" That is not the
question. It Is your business to go for any
one whom the caucus may select, and if the
choice fall on any of the gentleman named,
well and good if not, whoever may be the
candidate. That is all we have to say on that
point. If Mr. Scovel made any limitation
be behaved with unwarranted Insolence, and
deserves the worst epithets that even those
who bunt mountain ( ?) partridges could heap
upon him. By-the-by, who docs "hunt par
tridges in the mountains ?"
Long residence in. Jersey has made Mr.
Scovel form vague ideas of mountains.
Probably b refers to the mountains of his
native State, for any ot greater altitude,
strange to say, do not abound In that particu
lar bill. The Senatoi's knowledge of political
truth and hunting are about equal.
The letter fails utterly to set Mr. Scovel
right in the eyes of honest men. But now to
something else.
Did not Mr. James M. Scovel produce
this morning, cn the boat in ichich he crossed
the Delaware river, a letter direct from
Andrew Johnson, signed by the President,
in which he (the President) promised tf givl
Scovel any position under the Government,
provided he could secure the election of a
conservative from Jersey, or prevent the
choice of . a radical t Did not Scovel show
the letter to a gentleman from Atlantic City ?
Does not this form an explanation of the
strange conduct, or the "eccentric behavior,"
of that honorable gentleman? We say em
phatically that it does. That such a letter
was exhibited, and that the solution of Mr.
Scovel's conduct, appears probable in this
light. We can prove what we assert. But
we must now leave the gentleman to his con
science and his constituents.
The unanimity with which the Republican
press ol both New Jersey and our own city
have condemned his conduct must have
shown by this time to him that his hopes
of success in bis ambitious scheme are.
ill-founded. Having broken his most
solemn pledges to gratify his pr3onal vanity,
who will trust hereafter a perjured, man?
Having by bis conduct, at ones infamous and
dastardly, sought to compel his own election,
what party will hereafter receive this for
swearerof promises Into its ranks? .When
the day comes that the Republican party is
willing to send as Senator such a man as
James M. Scovel, may that day be the
signal for its destruction. Within three days
he has forfeited the respect of every honest
man. He has turned his popularity into con
tumely; he has excited a storm of indignation
which will sweep befoie it this juvenile com
pound of treachery and vanity. lie has per
formed an action within the last three days
which has placed him almost beyond the pale ot
reconciliation. On Monday will be the crisis
of his fate. If he retracts, if he apologizes,
and gives an explanation1, the party may re
ceive it as an excuse. If he changes his vote
and casts it in favor of going into joint con
vention, he may regain a place in the political
ranks. If he does not, then good-night to
Scovel. The scorn and contempt ofj every
honorable man will follow him into the walks
of private life, from which he will never more
emerge. Of all foul political beings, may we
be protected from contact with a renegade I
