Mr. Wilmot comes forward, in, person, to . defend himself against the just sense ofpublic odium, which he evidently feels settling epos him, in COO sequencoZthis Otiose of deception in pies Of the United States Senator. IThe publicit tion of his letter to General Cameron,--a disgraceful by reason of its - fawning ipso pliancy, if for nothing.etee; to the high _.and manly character Of atindidate for the Uni-, ted State s sen?teciallY of one so pi . ous anti scriptunl'asMi.. Wilmot assumes to be his letter..+lhst brought him out, --bas even caused-him Ito safer fOrget the proprio7 ties of his judici4 -pOsition as to indulge in low and itilgiq +theta *and dettusciation.-- To this we Ala nOt'atterapt to Mg/. for eV. erybody acquainted with Mt. Wilmot ;knows, that for violent epithets, and es profanity, he has ptpbably ho. eqpi. in the country. We leave that !eld ter hinh—we have no disposi lion to inter never looked inviting to tyir 'We Will now proem' to notice the char ges Which Mr. Wilmot makes against us.— lie says: " Aarge I him with havit.g published over my name a garbledletter," &c. The ftillowing ! the only paragraph which he Claims was garbled:- . "In - respect to*onrself, I have exprused no word of discourrigentent or unkindness. ON THE CVNTRA4I!,Y I HAVE REPEATEDLY • EXPRESSED .4 PREFERENCE FOR YOU \_OVER ALL YOUR RIVALS, (Buchanan, Dasyson, fkc 'dre.,) t AND THIS HEN IT WAS SUPi ' o S D THE"PARTY7 WOULD HAVE THE v NDISPUTED POWER TO MAKE AN E TION." In'the above paragraph, after the word "ri vals," Mr.. Wilmot elaims should be inside& " of the old line Democracy," so that the sen tence .shoald read that he prefered Mr. Cam eron over all his "sivals of the old Hoene mocracy, Buchanan, Dawson .e.; hm." For the omission of the above *etas, Mr. Wilmot denounces us as rt "-villain," "falsifier," and sundry other delicate names peculiar to his style of language. . Now all we 'have -to say on this point is this. We published-the letter from What we believed to be a.,eorreCt copy. - We have not now the original, and thertfore cannot; coin - - , pare them, but we.ars entirely willing to take, . Mr. Wilmot's word that the original does read as he clainis, for. we cannot see that his • version makes any difference in the sentiment and pint of the letter.~ The. version which ,' , -- - - we published made him say that he prefered Cameron over all his -rivals, naming them, Buchanan, Dawson &-e., (ker.,,,and those rivals aimed, everybody knows do helong ." to the old line Democracy," as he terms them. We therefore can see no difference' in theversion as publishol, and the version which he gives himself, 1 ~.r have we found .any • impartial mind that ::: , .n discover the difference. The • 'position srl.:ch Mr. Wilmot assumes is clear ly seen. Feeling that for once he has , been canght in his intrigues in a manner _that ad mits c i3f no justification, he siezes hold of these unimportant words to make a great' noise, ' thinking thatle can divert üblic attention 1 from the real character of the etter, aid thus hide himself in the smoke. We 'Shall not permit him tallo so. ' - We by no'means admit that the finimpor -- tact words, which Mr: Wilmot claims were omitted, are in the original letter. He does no pretend to ,sPeal.: positively himself on that point, but thinl•S D there, was eomething "to the!, impart" in the parenthesis. But this we do saY, that the irdamons epithets! ,Which he applies to us - with reference to them' are as malignant: as they shon his own heart! 'to have been When he applied them. WO published what we bad no reason to believe was not a true copy of the letter, and •what - - his own correction shows to have been a earl rectcopy in all the essentials of correct viz: substanee, meaning and sense. It is posi sible that, among the Several copies taken, unintentionally a word or two might have been passed over, and not dise-overed,for the I reason that it did not mar the sense. WC • could :have bad no object to serve by purpose. ly omitting a single word, for we 'naturally supposed that he had retained 'a copy of so iinportant a letter himself, and besides that, • we knew that some' of - his friends had taken - copies of it atl . Harrisburg, and that therefore a =detection of garbling would .be certain • should it be attempted. Under such eircutti . stances ire leave a candid public. to judge for themselves of our intentions. • , I As Mr. Wilmot assumes the perfeution .of Truth, and charges us with the most wilftil falsehood, we. desire here to remind hint that his own character-for Truth at 4 times, lus not been'the purest in public estimation:estimation. -4-- - Does not Mr. Wilmot well recollect his sol emn pledg h ej writing to the people of this county w ,si - candidate for judge three years - ago last fall? . Yes, he well • recoller4s that. He knOws that the . Convention was composed a a majority who were agaia!st Mtn, and that their main übjection was dila on the Bench he would be constantly negfee ting its businessood . disgracing the positiPn • by meddling in politics.
