Messrs. Editors,—
In my communication of the 29th ult., I stated some acts connected with a case in which our political opponents refused to appoint as a tything man, one opposed to them. Mr. Barber has seen fit to deny a part of the statements made, and is very desirous of showing, that he has always acted upon the principle of appointing tything men from all parties. Now, Messrs. Editors, what I stated before is true to the letter, and can be substantiated, if necessary, by the oath of at least one individual, who stood on the platform within a few feet of the moderator, and noted all that passed. A statement of the case was published in the Connecticut Journal the week after the meeting, (which was not 6 or 8 years since, as asserted by Mr. B.,) and as the circumstances were then fresh in the minds of hundreds, it was not, (because it could not be) denied. As to Mr. Barber's assertion, that the reason why the appointment was not made, was because it was getting late, I will only say, that Mr. Ellis found time to read off a large number of names from his list, and get them all appointed, after the nomination in question was rejected.— Mr. Barber talks about his obstinacy, &c— It is well known that he does obstinately persist in his assertions, even when he knows them to be false; on the principle that "a lie well stuck to is as good as the truth."

CONSISTENCY.
