Synopsis
Excerpt from Gov; Slade's Reply to Senator Phelps Appeal
To that appeal, so far as it relates to myself, I deem it my duty to reply. Before doing it, however, I will give a general account of the book, as well for the more perfect understand ing of what I have to say, as for the additional reason that my reply will probably fall into the hands of some who will not have seen the Appeal, and who may desire to know what it contains. So far, indeed, as I am concerned, I should like, ifi could conveniently incur the expense, to give the Appeal entire, that its statements, its reasonings, its language and its temper might fully appear.
The book contains 43 pages. The author commences by expressing the high sense he entertains of his accountability for the manner in which his public trust has been discharged,-says his character as a public man is public property, - speaks of the decisive verdict of his re-election, and says he owes it to those who supported him, to show them that their confidence was not misplaced.
He then proceeds to characterize the investigation into his conduct as an inquisition more extraordinary than is to be found in the history of this or any other country, and speaks of it as an invasion of the sanctity and confidence of the domestic fireside, and an attempt to gather Up gossiping tales in relation to his private and confidential inter course.
