FOR THE UNIONIST.

Mr. Editor. It is truly astonishing to witness the efforts at misrepresentation in the last Advertiser respecting Miss Crandall’s trial.—It is the part of wisdom in the many correspondents to that paper that they have not signed their names to the articles communicated. An article appears headed thus, “Effects of abolition principles in a Court of Justice.” The writer attempts, in his way, to question the veracity of persons who were called upon to testify, when they said that they had drank tea with Miss Crandall and her scholars but could not recollect the countenances of any who were then in court. From this circumstance the writer wishes to convey the idea to his readers that they were guilty of swearing falsely, and thus were it in his power, would he fix upon them the seal of infamy. The writer of that article should know, that however much honorable men may differ from him in sentiment, merely a difference of opinion does not render them incapable of speaking the truth, and whenever he touches upon an honorable man’s character, he touches a very tender spot. However lightly he may regard it,—character, in the estimation of some men—some abolitionists we trust—ay, even some who have had the hardihood to sit at the same table with Miss Crandall and her colored misses—is above all price. The writer thinks it is a most incredible circumstance that a person could drink tea with 20 misses whom he never saw before, and 2 or 3 months afterwards, when he should see misses in a public assembly, could not recollect that they were the persons with whom he drank tea. Perhaps they were present at the table, and perhaps they were not. But suppose they were—would it be any thing strange for a gentleman to sit down at table with 20 misses, half of them perhaps, sitting in a direct line with himself, (so that it would be extremely difficult for him to see them) and not seeing their countenances so as immediately to recollect them when seen a number of weeks afterwards, with their bonnets on—in a different attire—in a “court of Justice?” Surely these gentlemen—as they said they could not recollect them—must be set down as liars, for no one can doubt—considering the circumstances—that there was a reasonable possibility of their not knowing them at a glance—whether they were there or not. We would advise the writer of that article to look up much reckless villains and have them tried for perjury.
