Arui s DeurSir: I must enter my protest ogainst the practice of ncwsjiopcr editors catching street convention of per sons occupying humble and private positions in life, and so changing the substance of it as to make the party stultify himself beforo the public, as an editorial iu tho Argus of tho Utli hist., headed " Consistency," would muke me do. In that article J am inado to say I was anxious for Mr. Stout's defcut, as hi election would bu detrimental to the )nymeiit of our war scrip, but voted for him because the election of Logan would gratify Mr. Dush. This would betray a smullness iu me that my entire life would contradict. My statement to you was, what others havo frequently heard me say since the election, that had I been governed iu my voto ulone by pecuniary considera tions, I should have voted for Logan, as the peculiur condition of parties iu the next Congress might favor his efforts in procur ing it payment. It is true, I said some thing obont his election gratifying Mr. Dttsli, wlin I thought desired the destruc tion of the Democratic party rather than lose his Salem inlliiciico over it. Higher motives, however, always havo governed, and I trust always will govern, my vote, ittlc as it is worth, than that of pleasing or displeasing Mr. Hush or any other indi vidual. I ever have voted, and ever will vote, tho Democratic ticket, because I be lieve the principles rnttneiuted by that par ty to be correct, aud shall never think it worthy of enquiry whether the success of that party jdea3es or displeases Mr. Hush. These are, in my estimation, reasons enough to control mo without the silly one that Mr. Hush controlled my vote. Please give this a place in the Argus.
