Mr. Wilmot and at. Letter:
In 1 Nreeles Republican. 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

Let those who - t
-ink ._.e above strong lan
guage to appear in print; remember that, in
this controversy, Mr. Wilmot was the first:to
Violate the sanctity of private character.
H I By refering to Mr. Wilmoys letter to Cam

' ren it will be seen.that he is very particular
i explain to Mr. C,how it I is- that . he is a

We K. N's Ia Dimock have.had a rather hard
time of it lately: We met in the Academy Ittit,
night,'and of course intended 'to spend kpleasal?t
evening, and do something! for out country, but
the pesky boys kept dogging us the u hole night.
After transacting our ttsrl'al interesting business,
we proceeded to dispose of the question, w h ich
you know has perplexed us so much--I mean in
regard. to using goose-quills jo . write with, it b'e
ing a well known fact that:the goose family are
of foreign extraction. j
Several substitutes were proposed, but none
of them seemed to suit, and the discussion was
protracted until a late hoUtLw-hen the High Pie
tater arose and •said, that as the• Owl was a bird
of excltisively native origin; and On account of its
well known' and much admired nocturnal habits,
he thought--but here the bays set up such an
awful reeket that nothing could be heard, it was _
therefore thought best to disperse. We tried all
sorts of ways to escape unseen; some of es even
crawled out of the back' window, and ran a
across the fields, but it wa [ s l
of-no avail. They I
found most of us out, and ;would you believe it,
actually put down a list of our names, and go!
about telling who we are. !And people really be-i
Here them, so that if we lie ever so much, aid
say we were, not there, they laugh - at us and tell
us they know better.
•
But worst of ! 0 horror of horrors! In
the confusion of escaping we forgot our crop ; s,
and they got into the room and fofittd it with
the Bible; took it and nailed it (the cross) up in
a conspicuous place, in order to tantalize "and in
sult us. When any of us chance to come Ailt
they point to,it . and ask if we have ever seen t h at
before, and when we/deny it, we can hear" the
wretzhes whisper; "I' haw you there, or his
name is on the list."
Now, Brothers, what are we to do ? WrieLn
,
not submit to these repeated" - insults, and 't•ve
•
dare not resent. them. Would to Heaven kve
could do with them as- we do with the cross;—

Won't the law interpose, to protect us? If it

It, is a rare thing that meeting of ten dr a
dozed of our citizens oives oteasion for e4/.)m
i.,
tr
ment,in the public print, but no ridieuloult
farce', was transacted in our town •at Benstn's
Hotel last Friday evening, under the name- of If a
Republican .meeting, that a true statement of
what was done may - not be amiss.
Some days previous al" Republican Meetjbg"
was announced by notices tacked to every par
room door, and otherplaCos where most likely to
attract attention, announing that William Stu
art, from Ifinghamton, abd Other popular spak.
ers would be in attendinOe. The sOvening crime;
and bad advanced past the hourof 8 o'clock, when
curiosity to see and hear: induted me to mit at
the Hotel, expectations awake to. find an enthu
siastic audience andeloqUence inabundance; for 1
it haden announced id the store* and thrdugh i
e
the Beets that Messrs. Stuart and Balcom were
on hand. Well, theyenitere there, and so iwai
their audience. Some six or eight men wok in .
the bar•rooni, banteiing with a Jewelry yeddler,
and in the room adjoining about the same nuthber
•ofpersoas , were quietly-seated, Upon inquiring.
if the sPecchei were over, I learned that: the
meeting Was about 'to organize. Thinking'my.
self in luck once more for beinfin time, I seated
myself with the rest Where•vicant chairs Were
plenty. As I went. into the room 1 thought it not
ill-manners to cast an eie around, to see whoi was
present and ount the [flock. They numbered
ten, speakers and all. The formality of nailing
persons for President, ire Presidents, and Sec
retaries, was got along With by calling on 111 in
the room'whe would serve, and coaxing some in
from the bar.room; much to the detriment orthe
Jewelerie trading.; Mo r tars. Smart and I:l3tentn I
did the beat they knew hostler the occasioni'the'
showing themselves quite iguerantof our peii
