| ne JeUerSonlan IS out on Gov. More
head and attempts 10 an article of near
three columns TO wind the Governor up.-
But he couldn't come il. The Editor saws
1t seems that some Of the Federal candi-
dates who have ie.t the smart of Captain
Walkers lash on the stump had been dol.
ing out complaints TO Gov. Morehead, Ssc."
Now we know that the Governor had been
made acquainted with these charges, be.
fore he reached Charlotte, and by per-
son not candidate, and we are certain
that there is not candidate, of the Wing
party for the Commons bot is able and
more than able to cope with Capt. Walker
in fair discussion, but as TO slang he will
bear the palm. Gov. Morehead is clarg-
ed with telling a faIsehood, because he
stated that 100000 set apart for draining
the swamp lands did not belong to the
Literary Fund. This is true, for the
amount was set apart for a specific pur-
pose, and was withdrawn from the Litera.
ry Fund aud appropriated to draining the
swamp lands, and did not yield one cent
to the school fund falling Off in which
had been the cause Of the charges. This

although Capt. Walker was in the Legis-
lature yet he did not know that the Legs.

The Jeiiersonian says the Governor an
s@ered Mr.. Walker in a TRADE of coarse
bullying abuse and buGoonery that must
have digusted every intelligent man,
No doubt }hc Filter felt very much in
censed against the Governor for exposing
the ignorance Of the wheel horse Of Demo.

termed in this county, bu, let men beware

roughly handled themselves.
II is not our intention to follow the Ed.
tor through tho length Ct his article, for
those who heard Gov. Norehcad know full
well that the article is made up 10 great
measure Of Interpretations Of what the
Governor did say--ior instance, the Editor
SAYS the Governor admitted that the Ra.
leigh and Castor Rail Road was iusolyent.
lie admitted no such thing. The Govern.
or knows that the stockholders individual.
" are bound to the amount of their stock.
As fault was found because some Of the
Rail Road bonds were purchased, the Co
vernon stated there was no danger because
they were endorsed by North Carolina, the
hest sort of security. He denied building
a chicken coop, but the Jelitrsouan states
that he admitted he built one.
Feliow-C Citizens, because Gov. Morehead
had independence to hurl back upon Capt.
John Walker the false charges BE had been
Industrlously circulating against him, he is
branded with the appellaton of an lnsolent
and oyerbearlng lyrant. Remember that
this is part of Loco Foco tactics to make
charges and when they are hurled back
with interest, political capital is attempted
to be made out Of it. 1t Is true, Govern.
or Morchead did make use of the word
myrmldons aud IL was directed 10 such as
raised the shout go on Walker" when
Gov. Morehead had requested the persons
present not 10 give any manifestation of
applause.
Felow-citizens If YOU want man c.
lectcd to rule over YOU Tho has some sym.
PATTY for your situation, vote for John NJ.
Morehead. But, if YOU prefer man 10 be
elected to rule over you, who has not one
feeling in common with the laboring man,
then vote for Louis d. Henry.
