Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Letter From Henry R. Jackson, of Georgia, to Ex-Senator Allen G. Thurman: With Explanatory Papers The purpose of this pamphlet is to enable me to distribute correct copies of the following papers: 1. My remarks to the "Confederate Veterans," at Macon, October 26th. 2. My interview with an editor of the Atlanta Constitution, touching those remarks, published on the morning of October 29th. 3. The attack made upon me by Ex-Senator Thurman, at Columbus, Ohio, on the evening of November 6th. 4. My note, evoked by that attack, addressed to the Atlanta Constitution, November 7th. 5. Judge Thurman´s communication of November 10th to the Associated Press. 6. My open letter to him of the same date. It is proper to state that my letter was not written "several days" before its publication, as was erroneously telegraphed by the Associated Press. Not a word of it was penned until his failure to make prompt recantation of his slanderous charges had satisfied me that he was not the man I had taken him to be; and that no retraction, worthy of a generous, or even a conscientious, nature would ever come from him. That I did not err in this conclusion has now been made manifest by his failure to take any notice whatever of my letter which, as appears from a Registry Return Receipt of the U. S. Post-office, was placed in his hands on the 14th instant. This, in connection with the closing sentences of his communication to the Associated Press, establishes the fact that, with the fullest light before him, he adheres, in cold blood, to the "bitter" calumnies he uttered against me "in his brief and offhand address;" not even repudiating, or qualifying, the vulgar words in which he clothed them. He has thus revealed the mortifying truth that a man may rise to reputation in the Federal Senate who, by a chance exposure of his real nature, must forfeit the respect of the decent and the just. For what just man, who reads my letter to him, will hold me to be "not only an enemy of the Democratic party, but of the whole country." because of anything I said in my Macon speech? What intelligent man, North or South, can question for a moment that I uttered the convictions of every Southron who has not pleaded, in his own heart, for himself or his ancestry, "Guilty of treason and murder!"
