to its other.points now that the election
is over.; - - - aud this correction , is made not
as 'a matter of controversy, but as an act
of justice.. -
And now, Mr, Editor, a word with .
yourself. • You say in your reply to .Mr.
Perry; that you had - . 6 .ffu1l knowledae_pf
the Ina that the JOURNAL bad always
fawned the Independent system. before it
Came in toyouchends.". Now I have been
a constant reader of the JOURNAL for sev
en years, and I know that after the_ party
whoso organ it was had broke down and
„scattered the Hunker party, it did not
advocate the volunteer system, because
the exigency which makes such a system
potent ha - 4
passed:away... The JOURNAL
did always advocate a true expression of
the will of the people, and to be the or
, •
gan of a. Acpubliean party it always ought
to do so.

„ r ,
Wmean hat yon by the -:eputuation
System" I. : atu at a loss to know. You
l
seem, to think it was potent in overthrow.-
ing party organization,.and in building up'
the Republican party in, this county.—
Now if you wean that the repudiation of
Sham Denionracy has , been, potent in..
building up Republicanism agree with
you; but if you mean that the repudia
tion of their own party action by Demo-1
crate as.sach has - been potent in building!
up Peepub)icanism, you . arc entirely at;
fault, because no Democrat as such hasf,
ever been, supported . by Free Snilera inl
.thie county.,
. But if the ilepudiation Systeln—ivhSt.
ever . that way potent, why is it
not.potent for thinkers tou ? They re
pudiate us as much as we do them. The
Republican party, in this county ' was
bu'il't up; Oa r by Repudiation or any otht

addressed .to the minds pod conscience;
