' Frfim thi FayttltviUt Observer,
The : Standard seems to hire forgot
ten how much, it was opposed to duel

Craves for fighting a duel, and Wise
for being bis second. We agreed with
that paper in denouncing that act of fash
ionable murdcr,'whichas rwt e
." ble in our eyes becauue it was done by
'political friend; and we fondly hoped
that it was not criminal in the Standard's
ryes only because it was done by a po-
, litical opponent. With t this hope, we
have been waiting patiently for the Sun
dard s volley of indignation sgainst Judge
.Saunders, who, if we mistake not ae
tually fought one duel, in which it was
not his fault that his opponent was hot
' murdered, and in another case, challenged
Member of Congress for wprds spoken
in debate. , Perhaps the Standard may
- plead -in -the Utter case, that the Judge
Lad, no bloody-minded thought of taking
bis opponent's life, and in this we azree

is of itself a high offence against the

Sirs t I have this evening receijed
your loiter, calling -my attention to a
statement, ' w hich has overt circulated m
the newspapers upon no authority what
ever, that in 1835, on its being proposed
to me to be on the same ticket with uert
Harrison, I refused, observing that he
was the pity of- his frieyids and 1 the
scorn and derision of his foes." Altho'
it would be in vain that a man in public
life should set about contradicting, by
his own direct authority everv anon y
mous Statdment or declaration to be (bund
in party presses, yet this paragraph was
circulated so widely that 1 was induced
to take notice f it, atd to authorize a
direct and positive'eontradiction cf it in
the National . Intelligencer. - For the
benefit rof such - as may not ha ve seen
that . denial,-,!, here jrepeat it, as I- have
done in one or two other letters, which
I . presume are, or will be, made public
in thoso parts of the country where the
gentlemen reside to whom thev were
respectively written. , l he whole story
is utterly false. Friendly relations have
cxJiistcd; between Gen. Ilanisoh and
myself for. many, yiars. Nothing has
ever occurrea io imerrupi incse reiaiiois.
