The election for cast an aspersion upon their virtue, then toak place, Mark A. liar Sir, is yotir charge true? Yott are fond of the word “record.” By the records or your slate, then whioli you hold in yotir hands before the peo ple as you make the charge, we will judge you. I shall not charge you with being a wilful slanderer. If you prove yottrs self snolt I shall sor row that greed for office bus brought you so low. I shall believe then that affiliation with Hargrove and his lieutenants hns corrupted the in tegrity of your Christian charity, and 1 shall mourn the moral wreck. The only office Lester held while Bullock was govenor was that of Im migration commissioner. That is tha office to whioh you refer. Your charge as to his absorption of money while in office shall be noticed hereaf ter. We need now only revio.7 his cession to that office. Was thatofficeheld under Bullock; and if so was there corrtttion or mor al delinquency in the msre fact of holding it under him! Many good nten believe that I.es ter was appointed by Bullock. You did not expressly olinrgo it. Yet yott individually insinuated that lie held the oflloe by Bullock’s grace and fa- 1-57“Road onr Haralson lettor, by Tor - On page 030 of the Journal of the House of Representatives of the ses sion nf 1809 we And that George N. Lester was elected commissioner by Therefore ho the gonejiil assembly, was not ntt appointee of Bullock. Do yon tell me that Bullock commis sioned him? Very good, and liecom- tnissioned General Young, your pre decessor in office. Was Young cor rupt bcoauso Bullock oommtssimted him? You know that Bullock had no optin—that ho was obliged to com eleotion to prove that liestcr was “cheek by jowl” with Bnllook. Among the moil who voted for this bill was Ford, of Bartow. Was that gallant gentleman a radical? Was he striking hands with thieves? Out upon the slander that befouls friends nnl foe alike! Was there any corruption used to secure Lester's election? You do not dare assert it! Was it morally wrong for Lester to accept the office? He who attempts the crime is iqually guilty, mt nNyoonaid red, as he whosuccecds in perpetrating Yon cannot deny this. Then Mc- Laws nnd Charles Wnllnce TTnw-ird lire iquid In guilt tu L-stor. Yet you eulogized Howard and hi tau-led Ford for voting fur him. War it wrong for a demnrnit to accept an . nice to which he hud li on elected by democrats? You strive to no.lor Lust r infamous because he acc- |;ted an office for which the pure ll w- aid anil the hero McLaws were tilth candidates. To what base long'Its tines envious blunder lead? And so by the record we judge yon. It cunnot lie. It was not made with a view to affect litis canvass. When and where will you |mti«e?

Felton—Sim Some time ago 1 had the honor of availing myself nf n constituent's right and privilege, and sought from you an ex planation of your inconsistent atti tudes Infer, the people of the seventh UletrioL I directed attention to your past declaration of Lester’s purity, and eeked you to reconcile it with your present charge of corruption and kuatery. Bj the worda of your mouth I proved your knowledge of what you now denounce as his oor ruption, eved while yon were loud in proolaiming his goodness and parity. I entreated yon to pause in yotir ca reer long enough to inform your en quiring fellow-citizens whether you were deceiving them in 1874, or are deceiving them now. You are silent. Perhaps the in- ceseancy of yonr labor prevents a re ply; for I am told that all your work “**1 * —— are., devoted * n ewvins- ** .„’ Lester a thief, while the Sabbath is reserved for travel and the propaga tion of tb» dootrine of Ohristian charity. Minister of the gospel of love, aWtaill Yox'told the people in yonr speeoh at t-'arivrsville that Lester was un worthy of their support because he hsd held an office under Bnllook, hud because of his “abaorpttion you termed it—of thousands of dol lars while hslding that office. The impression you sought to make was, that there was corruption both in his aooession to the nffioe, and in his conduct while holding it. This charges has been echoed tlirooghont the entire district. It is on the lips of many good men who believe it The records are not ac cessible to him. Of their personal knowledge they know nothing. Trnsting in the aaeredness of the of the character yon assomeon Sun day; believing that the holy trnth at tends lit* utterances of him who prsaoha* Its gospel to them, they ac cept yoar statement and condemo Jodga Lefter without making that inyeMMNon for themselves which wontdjtrvys the troth or falsity of din, of Bartow, demoorat, candidate, being elected by five majority. So the hoase stood until August 86th, when twenty -eight negro mem bers were expelled. This left the On Sep tember 9tb, nineteen white demo crats were seatod in the places of the expelled negroes. And so the house stood at the olention of George N. Lester on Marclt 13th, 1860. Tho democratic majority was clear snd decided. Deny it if yon dare. I have not the senate journal be fore me, My reoolleotion is that' it was democratio by a slight majority, but as Lester was elected on a joint ballot and his majority was demo cratic, the constitution of the senate does not affect the question we are considering. It appears, however, from the rec ord, that lies under your nose as you oharge that Lester was elected by “Bullock’s legislature,” that there was a democratic majority on the first ballot. Yet you call the legis lature radical. Does the record pro- e yonr charge truthful, or maliciously iy trou,.loving country men, will yon do Lestn justice? Was the bill which created the office passed by radicals? On page 408 of the house journal the vote upon the passage of the bill is recorded, and it appears that out of 76 ayes, 48 were the votes sf demo crats. I have net the senate vote before me, bot a majority of the senators voted for the bill. Bo the reoord contradicts you again. The law was made by demo crats. Was Lester elected to the office by radicals? Upon an analysis of the vote elect ing him we find that in the house 83 of the 112 votes cast in his ftivor were of;jtemoorats. All of the sixteen devoted, democratic senators; headed by that patriot, Milton A Gaudier, voted for him. The votes in favor of General MoLawe and Charles Wal lace Howard contain a larger propor tion of radicals than the vote oast for Judge Lester. Let the people look for themselves. The house vote is ou page 680 of journal of the Session of 1860.

Sufficient news lias cuttle front Miiin.i to make it sure that Hale and Powers, two of the Radinul nundi- dates fur re-election to the House ol Representatives, are defeated, that there is no election of Governor by the people and that the Legislature is in doubt. Unreflecting pimple rush to a ooiiclusiun because all this whs not done under the Democratio Rattle, that the Demnoratio party of tho State is to be “absorbed” ay tlrise wlto labored wi lt it. Such is sc fur front rite fact, us 1 knew liult' long acquaintance with the politics of the state and from an extended trip through several counties during the campaign, that the best and most reliable Democrats are the ones who assisted in the lute victory. They have long been Democrats, they are now Democrats, uud tiiey will re main Democrats. The whole signif icance of tho eleotion is the disaster to the Republican party and corres ponding gain to the Demoorat io par ty. It is indeed the destruction of Republicanism in Maine, and thi- preliminary move on the part of the tople ol the state to return to tko temocratio party. No matt familiar with the people and the publics of the Pine Tree State pivlessei to see less titan this in it The effect ill other elutes will gen e-rally be yxoellent.. The effect upon the coming Uuiibu of Representatives is to destroy any hope the llailieulB may have had of carrying It. Tho Speakership, which Mr. Garfield bargained lor with Mr. Hhjob, is fur ther from the control ol either than t»ry cf tit thought, a year ugo, wus posable. House and Seua'e will be contrtJled by men who hate the nar row seujonaliam which, whenever party sue-ess seems doubtful, raised the bloody S-trt and commenced an attack upon #u- South. It is much to know tLis. tt will vastly a siat in settling littanc.il or other ques tion*.if every sectioi know* that its tights are tlo, ooincur, care of every other section. Thoroughly united, us the country now premises tube, we oan look with complacency upon other troubles. They may be bard to bear but we know that they wiil be short lived. In the luter nominations for the Honse of Representatives both par ties have shown more good sense than in the earlier ones, by nominating those who had served faithfully one or more terms. This ia specially notable among Democrats, ns the op posite nonrse had been in the sum mer. With the re-nomination of Hunton, one of the ablest and purest Representatives from Virginia against whom a noisy opposition hau been made, the tide seems to have turned. That conservative old Common wealth bus often, in our biitory, been the barrier against wbiolr theo ries, overwhelmingly strung in other sections, have beaten in vain. Among those jnst re-nominated it Speaker Randall, against whom there it al ways oppotition, but who stems to thrive npoa jt. A tens. nmw AS VURTIM] XMaKrTs. JUD. CRABF.
