The reader, of the Journal will remember that after I had eutiured injury and insult at the hands of this unprincipled official until en durance bud become intolerable, I, last .Jana' ary, entered upon a proper defence of my char acter, and consequent exposure of his villainy. Although -hardened in iniquity and dead to ebame, my first article dispelled his dreams of impunity in guilt; and quailing under the up lifted lash, he next day issued a card demand ing an investigation of his conduct, and,lesuit like, feigning to desire it! Against this advice of friend., who predicted what has since been recited, I accepted his hypocritical challenge on condition that the investigation should em brace "all the charges I felt justified in milking against his conduct ns post ter;' To this he conserved in writing, and 11%41te of acceptance is in my possession. I then drew'up three gem oral charges embracing a number of particulars, and sent a copy of them to Lewis by a reaper table crtizen—whose name can be given if call ed for--and immediately began to collect the necessary testimony. In this, I found no diffi culty, but readily obtained evidence to sustain, folly and completely, each of my three charges. At this stage of the case I notified one of my members of the Committee who lives at some distance, and was about to serve notice on Leicis and announce, in the Journal, the time nod place of meeting, when I discovered that a por cine of my evidence was liable to technical ob jectiorts, and might be rejected on strictly legal grounds, it not having been taken in accord ance with the particular forms of law in such cases required. To obviate this difficulty it was necessary to obtain Lewis' connect to the mode of taking testimony; and fur this purpose I ad dressed to him a respectful note, asking .4whe thee he would agree to admit, as evidence, offi cial letters from the Post office Department at Washington, and the affidavits of witnesses li ving out of the county of Huntingdon, faker before as Alderman or Justice of the Pence." This note, he, at first, peremptorily refused to answer ; and on being applied to a second time, and an answer insisted on, he again virtually refused to accept this, the only possible mode of taking testiniony in a trial of this kind where there in no authority to compel the attention., of witnesses by legal process! This refusal is couched in the following words, written by Lewis on the 9th ult.: “In the absence of the day of meeting being named, I cannot say whether I could meet you with the Nam kind of evidence.” • WM. LEWIS. • In answer to this note I informed Lewis that he might hare two, three, or four weeks "to meet me with the same kind of evidence if he desired it." To this he made no reply, and here the matter rested len days. Lewis mean• while discovering that all his artifices had fail• ed to . conceal his true position, but served en• thee to make transparent the sole object of his card to the public —escape front merited expo• pnwe. Finding himself toiled then fur, but Irr. silo is expedients to baffle justice, as all exp,ri• .need transwessorit are, he now tried another 'live more impudent than the first. On the 19th cit., he sent me a common:cation by his friend, .I.lex'e Port, saying at its close: "I accept your propoeition (of the 9th ult.,) of taking evidener buluu e Althrineu,.luetiers of the Pence, ,te." This looks like coining up to the work, rea. 'ler. But, what do you suppose Lewis wanted me to prove by the evidence thus taken? My charges, of course; the three general cliel•ges presented to . him, in writing., when I accepted his proposition to submit the matter to a Coin. nilitee. Nay, verily. Not the three ctiiirges I had promised to make good againit him. No• thing like it. But he asked me to establish nine other charges nearly all entirely different front miss—or forfeit $l2O !! To establish these charges, by such evidence as he was p!ea sad to indicate, he agreed that testimony might be taken before Aldermen and Justices of the Peace) You will say "is this possible?" It is. And incredible as it may seem to persons not acquainted with Lewis, it is the unvarnished truth—the document is question is in toy pos• session, in Lewis' handwriting, and over his signature I Let us look at this a moment. Lee's rejects the only ineans of tatting testi• monp to prove the charges I find offerekto make good against him, and then attempts to escape the consequences of this refusal by ask•l ing um to establish three fold as many charges of his own framing. What would be thought of a criminal arraigned for trial on an indict ment containing three counts, if he should re• fuse to appear or admit competent witnesses, but insist en writing hie.own accusation it: nine counts t,. sit his own taste, and then demand a trial? NI mild not such a culprit be acquit ted of every charge on a just plea of insanity ? Certainly he would. But this is precisely what Lewis has done. Can lte set up a plea of insa nity ? Not until our locetbee Courts shall rule that moral insanity is a plea of innocency—"a consummation devoutly to be wished by such scoundrels as Lewis ; and one by no means un likely in view of recant absurd, unrighteous and infamous decieione of some of our high Judi cial tribunals. But, however low may sink the neural sense of locofoco courts, the locofoco par. ty and its officials generally, thauk God, there is still virtue in the mass of the people in every community, and to their sense of right and love of justice, I confidently appeal for a judgment on the facts here presented to their considera tion. Ido not, of course, expect locofoco par tisans to stake an impartial &Idaho of this rase. Alen who can knowing/y vote for the ex. tension of human bondage, tho traffic in human blood and muscle; who can support and lead a party that upholds a system of unmitigated ty ninny, unbridled lust and unrestrained cones. hinage ; a system which authorizes man to lash and lacerate the quivering flesh of woman, to seduce his own diughters or sisters, and tear their helpless infants, the fruits of his lust, from their frantic embrace and sell them to the high. net bidders ; such men, however venerable in years and respectable in their private relations, cannot be expected to hare a conscience in unit ten affecting their party friends or party inter ests. I do not claim their verdict. Let their sympathies console, "aid end comfort" Lewis; and as far as possible, cover up his rascality. Party fealty, according to pru•Slavery ethics, both out of the church and in it, requires this unholy service and subserviency. They must obey the power they serve or be kicked out of the communion of dongh•faces. Hard lotl— But the honest mass of that corrupt and corrup ting party will yet see the venality of their lea. ders and aid in crushirg them beneath the mighty hand of truth, abused confidence, in jured, indignant patriotism. But to resume. Lewis' communication of the 19th ult—substituting his own charges for mine—fully satisfied my mind, as it must con vine° every candid mind, that Lewis was and is determined either to change the issue between us, or avoid it entirely. I resolved, however, to make one more honest effort to hold him to the investigation before a Committee as origi• sally proposed by himself and accepted by me, because 1 could not induce him to venture his case and official character before a higher tri bunal. For this purpose 1 addressed to him, on the same day, the following respectful note: HUNTINUDON, 31arch 19, 1857. if, Wm. Lewis: Your letter of today seems to be an attempt to change the matter in controversy; and by your introducing charges not specified in our preliminary correspondence, and requiring me to establish all of them, looks like evading the true issue. In answer to my note of the 2•tth of January, 1857, you any, "name your charges nod I will undoubtedly accept." Accordingly I named the charges in my note of the 2d Feb. runry, and have been endeavoring to make pre. partition to establish these charges; and simply wanted you to say whether affidavits taken on notice as proposed, and Department Letters should he evidence on these charges Please answen Respectfully, &c., WM. BREWSTER. This note he returned with a virtual refusal written on the margin and closing with these gentlemanly words : * * * But as you arc a tol and can't dance, it is throwing away time in answering your in sane communications. Wu. Lewis. With this delectable specimen of his style and temper, and a little squib having no h•nr• ing on the questior., our private correspondence closed ; and after a brief notice of the charges 1 did offer to establish before the committee, our public correspondence will be closed also, at' least on my part, unless he shall afford no the opportunity of proving his official miscon duct before a court and jury. This I hold my. self prepared to do at any time, and lie knows if. My origival charges, three in number, were, as altendy stated, presented to Lewis, in writ• fag, at an early stage of this controversy. They are general charges, the first and sewed each susceptable of proof by a number of special facts, each conclusive in itself. The first re. bites to his euppressing, or attetnpt ing to sup. s press newspapers passing through the mails.— The truth of this charge is clearly established by his order on the Postmaster at Coffee Rana ; • mid as every body knows it to be true,' Lewis • has ceased to deny it. My third charge declares that Wm. Lewis, by a false representation of facts in the cese, e xtorted I'min me a fine of five dollars in a prosecution before Esquire Snare. Fell proof of the main facts adds charge are in cry pos. session. Dui...this prosecution was Lt pre.. of, and not gjliciul net of Lewis, it is of cots I parutively little consequence. It is not the pri• vale character of Wm. Lewis, but his condoct as postmaster. ns the servant and tool of u rut• ten party, that I felt bound, and still feel bound us the conductor of a newspaper, to hold up to public contlemation. My second charge—in some respects the most scrim of the three—is in the following words: I charge you (Wet. Lewis,) with demanding unlawful postage ou books and other mail mat t. left at your office for delivery, and of enter. Ong payment for the same. This charge I here reiterate with all the 0111. phasic that conscious truth can inspire ; and stake my character and my property on my ability to prove it in a court of justice whenever called on •to do so. Can any sane nuut , friend or foe, think me such a fool as to invoke, hi this unqualified manlier, the pains and penal. ties of a prosecution it' I did not knew beyond the. possibility of mistake, the entire, absolute truth on which my case is Jimmied? Cain any man, possessing ordinary self•respect, suppose fir a moment, that Leads is so debased that he would spare the scorpion lash of the law if he did not fear its rebound upon himself'? If COI, Beim guilt did nut make him crouch and cow. er in helpless terror? Nay, can even the ortho. don gentlemen who have been slyly endeavor ing to bolster up Lewis' official reputation, con. template the present aspect of the case without some slight ruffling of their pious complacency? Let every man's reason, common MIRO and conscience answer to his own heart. W. BREWSTER. Huntingdon, April 13, 1857. akar Mr. F. H.

EDITORS : About a year ago my attention was directed to the growing popularity of Woreestee's Die. tionuries. At first I attributed their rapid rise iu the public lavor to the enterprise and energy I of the present publishers, favored by the known predilection of educationists generally for chan ging school books, as well SS the methods of us• iearGraliam's Magazine for May in the best ing them. I had long regarded Webster's Die I number we have seen for some time. The en. tionary as the standard of accuracy, his Ortho• I gravings in this book arc worth three times the graphy and Orthoepy as almost universally re. price of subscription ; and it you don't believe ceived by scholars in the United States. No j it, subscribe for it and judge for yourselves. ordinary evidence could have changed my opi' ; nion on that point, or induced me to investigate I the claims of any rival work. But soon after the time above referred to, evidence fell into my ; hands which no reasonable mind could resist. I found that Bancroft, Prescott, Everett, Quin- I cy and Washington Irving; lion. John McLean, Bishop Potter, Professor Hart, of the Philad'a. High School, and a hoot of leading literary men and Teachers in the different States, have adop. ted Worcester's Dictionary as their standard, and have voluntarily and strongly recent tuend• ed it to the public! As nothing short blind prejudice could reject such testimony, I proof'. rod copies of Worcester and by a patient and careful comparison with corresponding copies of Webster, Walker and Cobb, for many years used in my school, fully satisfied myself of the superiority of Ileorceskr over any uric of the others ; and Unit he combines everything vales ble in all of them, while he avoids some of the inconsistencies of each. His vocabulary is more eitensiv6, his definitions equally satistao: tory, and his orthography more conformed to present good usage, 0. either Cobb's or if hr's. His system of notation is equally situ. Ipie, and more accurate than Webster's, being founded *on a complete analysis of the 000 ci i sounds, as every one versed in phonetics will see at a glance. As one of the principal noes of a Dictionary in the schaul.rootp is to deter mine the proper pronunciation of words, a cor rect system ta notation is of much imp. tance. On the subject of Orthography I will not pre• tend to say thatt if Orcester is always right said Webster wrong when they dater. None but those who have devoted their lives to the study of our language can be considered competent, ' in all cases, to decide between theta ; and pro. liably even such umpires would, in some cases, • differ as widely as the authors we are consider. • lug. Bat it requires no great eruilltion to dia• cover that Worcester's rules and principles of Orthography are more consistent, .d lose con fused and contradictory than IVebster's. Of this %fly intelligent teacher, or other petson tolert, bly acquainted with the subject of Orthography eau be fully assured by a very limited exami nation and comparison of the two authors. The cause of this consistency in the one case and confusion in the others is, I think, very obvi ous. Worcester has evidently taken the lan- I as Ito 'Mind it used by the best writers in England and America, and adapted his rules to that usage. Hence his principles and prae t/co are consistent .d natural. Whereas Webse er has, as we all kn., attempted to re form our Orthography, Be has laid down new rules which sustain bin innovations on certain words or classes of words. But his application of these rules is limited, and his practice fre quently comes in glaring conflict with his prin. ciples. This inconsistency his more eandia ad mirers will admit, and many of them will pro bably attribute it to the inherent imperfections of our language, as I confess I did until I ex amined Worcester. Whether the perusal of this work will change other minds as it has mine, I certainly cannot say. I can only speak for myself and ask others to examine for them selves. lan now thurouchly convinced that a consistent system of the Orthography .d Or thoepy of our language as it is, is preferable to La partial change which iuvolves contradiction and confusion.
