The intimation that when, those two Or time
lawyers ana those few unauthorized individuals
with them, who dictated "who should be tbe
wing candidate for the senate" and oforcei
Judge Wall upon the people &C." should come
before the people for office, that their conduc,
would be remembered, is about the best thing
our would be senator has said. We trust that
when they appear before the people for public
station, that their conduct will be remembered
and as they have acted so far irreproachably and
honoraby that they will receive at the hands Of
a libcraland intelligent people their proper re.
and reward
The effort of Mr.. Gordon to induce the pub
lie to believe, that the people prefer him asa
candidate for the senate in preference to Judge
Wall, is truly laughabs 1t is too bare-facedt to
take Every body knows that in his ownparty,
Gordon is not popular by any means; while
large number Of that party believe him TO be
corrupt. On the day of the conyen
ton, an individual, who favored Gordon,s prc.
tensions for the senate, and the only one we
that did, remarked to a few persons, ''that he
was in hopes Gordon would have received the
nomination for the senate. that he had ridden
Two days eectioneerng for Gorden, but that he
lad found only two persons who said they
would vote for him and they were indebted to
Gordon, and continued he, youknow, gentlemen,
le is too ----- rascally any how" Such are
he views of Gordon's popularity entertained by
hose friendly to his political advancement. His
urther effort, to induce the people to believe
hat hard feelings are entertained towards the
vhig convention by nominating Judge Wall, IN
he "Thickwoods" is call in my eye and Miss
elizabeth Martin" We know the people Of that
rccinct too WE'LL to believe any such noilselse
They are devoted to whig principles, and in
udgo Wall, they see faithful representative
f those principles. A delegate from that pre-.
met was on the committee appointed to report
andidates for the legislature, and he gave his
ote for Wall, and stated that Wall was tho
hoicc Of that section. 1t is truQthat they may
ave their predictions for that intelligent gen.
leman, DR.. Rogers, but knowing that he had
refuseda nomination as candidate
any office, their next choice, 70 believe, was
,r the present nominee. That it was for Gordon
e cannot and shall not believe.
We have drawn these comments to an unusual
myth, bnt Justice to time-honored public ser.
ant, to the wing convention of this county, and
those "two or three lawyers" and few ''unau-
lorjzcd individuals" who have been so unjustly
INSURED prevented us from saying less and IS
lr apology. We have written in great haste
i'd consequently immethodically. ekx
In conclusions, I'VE would say to Maj. Gordon
lat he had as well Tylcrize at opcc. The
higs want no such designing men intheir ranks
hey do not want men who would disturb the
anquiity of their party, to crafty their own sell

en- who go foRisssleir country, their whole coun'
y, and not exclusively for themselves. Inc
