Excerpt from A View of the Whole Ground: Being the Whole Correspondence Between Mr. John M. McCarty and General A. T. Mason
In his second valedicto'ry he does not say, but insinuates, as if afraid of the assertion, that I shrunk from him in the contest at the Loudoun election. The insinuation is false, infa'mously false, as Mr. John m'carty who makes it, well knows; and I am not casuist enough to distinguish any moral difference between a false insinuation and a false assertion. The man who can for any purpose or under any influence, descend to either, is a liar. The. Former, however, is the more despicable crime of the two, if there be any difference, because it betrays a sneaking, cowardly disposition to do in anunderhand, clandestine manner what it is afraid to do openly and in the face of day.
