views Of what |, will be necessary 10 hare douc 70

short extract from this letter. a. bcins in ous

The Fayetteville Osserrr, in no:icing our Cor.
,rc,ion Of an error into which i, bad ALLEN, with
ssspec, TO tho election Of member Of Conssrss
from ,,is District. two years ago, says

cial notice Of The vacancy, when he ordered the
election, when Ec gave Tic member elect hts csc.

We sincerely hope The Columbia papers alluded
% will comply with this request, and sisc US The
faels Of Tic case; ,ha. is the very thing we wan.
now 10 get at. Tic Editor desires 10 know ",ic
causc Of the delay, u arg, in transmitting the

l,cisrd, because !, implies doubt whether there

no one ~ believe al all acquainted with tic cir.

Du, that shcrc was deinys, we think the following
extract Of letter from Col. M,nslso, 10 friend
in this District, is sufficient 10 prove.
