and feelings and you and be saluted by tie Ean
Of brother Democrat Loco Fuco' But enough III;
MIR. Gregory has proposition 10 make to Mr. Richie
ST., which be hopes will lie accepted, as Il will s:sld
ready oftesting Mr.. Gregory right b the r,n4
Of State Rights Republican II is this tia, the csal,
Democratic Committee shall PROFOUND the 0.ioy 10,
questions 10 each of the gentlemen spoken OF as cam

will vote for that gentleman who answers Ike Create,

Richie, Sr., if he will agree to vote in Tie sane way
Now surely, MIR. Richie cant object TO the as i
presumed he would no. give his vote Tor any man, Eo
does not maj orty of the questions l owu
liking. The following the questions 10 te mo.
pounded:
First Do you believe that under the Consrc,i.a
Congress has the right to pass law creating cor2o
ration
Second. DO You believe that, under the Constitution
Congress has right to cgisla,e for the bencf CT 20,
lection Of any classes, trades or business;
Third Do you believe that Congress, under the Ccr
has the RICH, TO appropriate any Of tie fctc.
raj revenue 10 works of ln;crna improvement susia

Fourth. Are you in favor OF the doctrine of d'.'a
buting money by the Federal Government to the S;ses
or of The Federal Government IN any p!o'i.r.
the means 10 pay the debts Of the S,ates'
Fifth DO you believe that Congress has the

Mr.. Gregory is perfectly willing 10 vote ior az;
man, who gentleman, and never been suspected d
any dshonoIabe act that agrees with him The fr-
going quesons and he will vote for The gcriler,G
who agrees with him on the greatest nnmbe, 9.
the questions If the next Presidential contest tote
for principles and not for man merely, snrely Il:
Richie will not east his vote, for my man who dr.
from him ma 0rity Of these questions. Tie r,,
position is made under this impression. In what II
it is asked, is Mr. Gregory "fa,hcr Gescrr, u
politics." Docs Mr.. Rtchie mean by 1t, tia, all these
who profess to be State Rights Republicans ana hr.
acted fully up 10 their professions, are "rather no.
descriot in politics" Surely he cannot ,hs.
Whilst Mr. Gregory was in the Legislature If Vs. =
GINA, he represented the most unanimous Wing cug
sti,uency in the S,aten all things, he believes ac
conformed his acts and votes 10 their wishes in don,
so, he thought then he right, and he thinks y
he never voted for or against any man for any of
that they not satisfied. And ought Mr Gegfg
10 have voted against the wishes of thsse who ELECTED
him, Surely the senior Editor of the Enquirer TOO I
good Democrat to say And it p:esI med 20 I
Democrat vii! controvert The position, that The epr
sentative ought fairly to represent those who elect h
AT least, no State Rights Republican Will.
Mr.. Gregory has no complaints 10 make agans. tie /
Legislature for having turned him out OF the conrc
1t is true he would have liked to have been eecrt
but majority Of the Legislature though, the ctr. /
would be better filled by another, and they had III
right to decide. Mr. Gregory is charitable enough 20
presume, tina. those who voted sgains! him Acted n
conformity to the wishes Of their constituents; ana
so, no one has any right TO omplain.
During the time that Mr.. Gregory acted as Countl
or and Governor, he aters himself tina, he discharged
his duties TO the entire satisfaction OF every boGy
least no complaint made or charge brought agst
him by any one Of any party. And now that lie Ia,
been turned ont of Office he hopes he may be he, a!r
to pursue the even tenor of his way All he asks
peace and II That be granted him, lie promises u ~
lest no one. lie has neither The tine 10 spare T..
inclination to be engaged in political controversy 5f
consequently he asks not TO be interrupted. NJ ca
CORY will merely add, in conclusion tina, h.. .o'sr
course will be governed solely by his own
right and that most certainly he will never put br
sell under the guidance control Of faction csJr.
or party. As an act of justice, MIR Gregory reqao'
the Editors of the Enquirer TO publish this article
their next paper.
