va.e letter unfairly ard have given it
"a ..ihlse coloriDg.s-Now ifthe word of
David proves tslis-then ii is soft not
then presume with my posifiDe denia!
OF having given his letter a ssialse col
oring," something more at least than
the mere word Of David, however much
may be his regret to ''entcr the poll
.tical road,' against me, will be requir-
ed by the public. The facts Of the
case are these: David Hoover has fox
some time, with a constant smile been
pretending TO my face to be my friend,
and indeed l had no reason 10 doubt
his sincerity, until last winter: though
was told that after his brother s.Hsn-
ny had received at the hands Of the
general government the Office OF
Secretary" Of HE Treaty, that they
would be against me, however could
not believe it possible that man who
sustained any reputation, could use so
much hypocrisy. David and myself
during last term of the circuit court
had frequent conversation, in all OF
which. he expressed great friendship
for me, and IN day or two after, be
came a candidate. received from him
the,letter 10 which he alluded; it was
not marked confidential nor do consid-
Ier it so. l never mentioned Of even
having received it until heard that
i David was though very Reluctantly
entering the political road against me.
| then stated to the public, that could
not believe it possible. and showed his
letter 10 a few individuals to contradict
the report that he was against me.
David called for the publication OF
this letter and in as much as he charges
me with having given it a ''ial>e colour
ing." l will submit it t. the public,
when no doubt such colours and shades
will be attached to it, as it really mer-
its.
think this letter from David viii
satisfy the public, and particularly the
friends Of Mr.. Rariden, how much
real sympathy my opponents have for
him. "David'' speaks their true SEN
ftiments, and we may rest assured ii
ssDavid'' and his fellow travellers OF
the ''political road" can succeed in
prostrating me; Rarjden is their next
victim. Reader peruse this letter
and see the unboanded love they have
for Rariden, and the great candour Of
David, my secret enemy, as he asserts
lie was at that time for he states that
long before he wrote this letter, 81 Ut
|hesitatingiy declared myself for Nc
Carly" But did David in his letter
tell me 500 Oh no.-"Friead Oliver"
-. Y our friends do not snish you sacri-
friends are numerous"
How deeply David was interested in
my welfare. See his letter.

"Frtead Ohrer. 81 concluded in

OF the approaching election. We
have been Informed TO day that Won

YOU did no. expect 10 be Candidate,
&c. We feel at a loss to know what
course you expect to take: and here
let me just say think it, perhaps
would BE- best for YOU to give Rich
mond visit before you take decisive
stand; your frie'sds DO moi auish to sec you
sacrificed. James Roriien has been here
to day and ifany thing is to be inferred
from the voice OF the people in this
quarter he will about get Tests cote in

that McCarty will get large majority
of this county over Rariden-as to
Yourself am at loss to know what
to say: your friends are numerous, but
under existing circumstances whether
they wish you to run is the question.
my own opinion is they would rather
see McCarty and Rariden take the
lieid alone. As said before would
be pleased ifyou could take ride III
to this county before you decide.
In haste. yours,
