CAMPBELL, V. Brums, President. Secretary. Browu Says it is False. -1 Lt lttr from Augustus Wattlis.

Mo.NEKA, Kansas, Dec. 27, 'oS ur Thachrr, I see you are troubled to know the truth of Linn county affairs. do not wonder at this. The gentlemen who write you no doubt tell things as they see them. But seeing through a distorted medium, naturally perverts the i vision; and a writer uuiy tell truthfully what he thinks he sees, and yet not see the This is illustrated in the 'President's message.

Every person in Kansas, excepting the Nationals, who look through the same medium, will say that ihe message is full of perversions 'and falsi hoods; and yet Piesidcnt Bu- chanan's character is entirely above sus- icion for truth and veracity. So, with- out impeaching the gentlemen who have written you, I will slate how it appears to me.
