JOHN f. II. CLAIBORNE.

The facts which are daily coming tC
light concerning the double dealing exer,
cised by ]. +. H. Claiborne in the late
canvass for seat in Congress; the frauds
which he practised upon the people, many
of whom were his personal friends, in
being bank man in one neighborhood
and an anti-bank man in another, are
enough to arouse the honest indignation
of any people who feel an interest in
maintaining the representative feature OF
our government unimpaired. Many let
ters from this consistent representative,
written just on the eve OF the election, and
the positive testimony Of many individuals
who are ready and willing to step forward
and prove the facts, show beyond doubt
that Mr.. Claiborne protested to be in
favor Of a National Bank just before the
We give the following letter,
which was written to a gentleman Of this
C ounty, to swell the list of testimonials
which have already been presented to the
public.

Mf. claiborne since his election has
come out against National Bank in toto,
and says in his "appeal TO the freemen of
Mississippi" "Neither my principles nor
feelings, at such juncture of panic and
pressure, when the democratic party was
supposed to be in the condition Of routed
army, would allow me to 90 over to
the opposition on the bank question,
and join in the pursuit" Mr.. CIai-
borne in the same piece says, "They
charge me with inconsistency and decep-
ton on the bank question. With full
sense of the responsibility incurred,
pronounce the charge fale, aud throw it
in the teeth of any man who asserts it,
This is all very fine slang, and might
have some weight did not the letters from
under his own hands contain better evil
dence than his assertion, We are willing
to waive all the verbal testimony which
could be adduced if necessary to return
the tdtSehoOd into MIR. Claiborne's teeth,
and take only his own written words TO
prove his Inconsistency and deception on
the bank question.
Mr.. Claiborne at Columbus was RUNNING
on the strength of his opposition to Ma.
tlonal Bank. Hear him in his letter pub
lished in the Democrat of the 9TH July.
1857" Under no circumstances, geatie-
men, DiH rOtc for bank Let me hone
your candidate will make an avowal 10
the public, either one way or another,
equally explicit. Are they for bank or
against it," in the letter above quoted
Of the 18th July, only seven days after
wards, he says; 81 believe zoe should haze
. National Bank, to regulate the currency
free equally from Executive influence and
foreign control" Is this consistency? is
this deception? What would he induce
he people of Kinds county to believe
rom this? He knew the people here
we're in favor of a National Bank, ana
many voted for him, believing that he
vas in favor of bank, who would never
AVE voted for him if they could have
,nown he was opposed to a National
sank Is this deception? We leave it
those who we're the dupes Of his artful
INNING, to answer the questions. Why
id not Mr.. Claiborne write to his friends
Kinds that he would "under no circum-
ances vote for a BankY Is not the
Jason evident? is not the design TO de-

piled by sue plentfuly at all seasons, and quite
eddy at the highest time that ever has been known
in this country. There will be no necessity OIL keep
