"White Washing Letter," signed by 84
citizens of Huntingdon County, which- is
published in the Huntingdon Journal, and
'thick we also publish:
The Lettei—lts IPeerial..
Annexed will be found the letter, said
to hare been written to Union County, by
R. Campbell, Esq. A regular system of
lying and misrepresentation has been kept
up in this county. In some townships,
the friends of Mr. Porter have said that a
prosecution was brought against him, and
eight thousand dollars bail was required ;
and furthermore, that it was expected that
be would leave. the country. We publish
it, in order to show the denial of it to our
readers. Porter's papers promised it week.
before last, but it came not. Another
reason why we publish it is to show, the
04 e;ottlenien who signed a denial of ITS
TRUTH, what they did
.sieny, for not
one is ten of the 84 ever- caw. or -beard'
read, the letter which they call a 'black
hearted tissue of falsehoods.'
,There are
acme who have signed the d%nial, who
ought to repent in "sackcloth and ashes."
How any man who professes to love truth,
honor, and religion, can place his name to
a paper, which pronounces truth, falsehood
—we know not. There are some who
cannot be wondered at. To such as are
willing to obey the dictates of truth, of
justice, or of religion— ; and who feel the
weight of that divine command 4 ‘thou shalt .
not bear false saitnestrrgainst thg neigh.
hoe," we have a few words to say. Par—
haps the 'ester may contain some injudi
cious expression—it is probable - that _ it
contains some alight reiscon eptions—but
you gentlemen have testified "that the
charges, (aU of course for you do not say
some of them) made against .hiss (Porter)
is that ktter are false." Do you not
think if thesame messenger, wbo laid his
icy fingers upon Antonia* and Sapphire,
should summon you to the presence of an
offended tud, that you could plead not
guilty to charge of breaking the same
command. Let us examine with candor.
The first charge is that Porter was i n
jail—you have pronounced it a falsehood.
The next, that he was discharged, as an
Insolvent after taking the required oath :
You have iertified that this is false also.
The next is, that his schedule is not in the
office- , :and is believed to be purloined by
him." This you certify is not ;rue: Dare
one of you Paccar by tic searcher of all
hearts, as you shall amasser fit hiss at the
treat day" that IT IS NOT TRUE—
Iit may not be true, but bow know you
that it is false. The next is, that he has
`not paid all his debts to acknowledged.
creditors at that time and refuses to pay.
To this, gentlenien, you say, '-he never
refused to pay an /waist debt"—how know
you this; have you not stepped beyond the
bounds of discretion in thisi--hare you
net despised sod denied the truth! Read,
gentlemen, the oaridenee” that Mr. Pore
ter acknowledged, his indebtedness to Da
vid M'Murtrie and Ewan Crain.. Do you
doubt the correctness of our copy Of the
records of the court=--go read in the on.
ginal tlocket, that you ". bear false wit
ness" against your neighbor, t' He never
refused to pay an honest debt" are your
wordy this you assert without any gush&
cation. Here then you charge Mr. Mac-.
Murtrie, and the two younger Mt. Crainis
with trying to recoier dishonest claims;
base you net misgivings as to such a
charge! are you certain that this is ricu
" bearing false - witness," against your
neighbor? Again you say, .4 the best evi ,
deice- of this, is to found in his old
creditors, EVERY 11$E of whom be
baxpaid, being his warmest and moat en

be true! Do you net NOW it is false?
