Richmond enquirer. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1815-1867, 1843-12-09

The "Petersburr Republican" is pleased TO suspect
OF studied ''ambiguty in the article. IN which we
referred TO the attempts Of some OF the Wings oiorm
coalition with OF the friends of Mr. Calhoun, to
Dust Mr. Hoeman from the Chair, and put in a Cal
houn man The Republican supposes, tina. by The ex
preston, "WHo had the honor OF connecting the de
sign the deponent saith not, meant TO convey
suspicion that friend Of Mr. Calhoun elsewhere
nigh, have been engaged in the scheme Inc "l's
publican" is mistaken. We never entertained any
such suspicon-and we never meant to express any
We knew better We knew that the plot was part OF Inc
tactics of the Wngs-and without pretendngt t, mount
up The Of the design we could have named one
of the channels, at last, through which It flowed to
Richmond and another by which it was conveyed to
friend of Mr. Calhoun. We suspect no friend OF ir
Calhoun as capable of such Vaccination We be-
lieve them {, be incapable OF any such insdious
plot any such monstrous coalition with the r. d.fa
party, as the friends of Mr.. Van Buren,, or oil any
other candidate The "Rapubcan rel firms The exist
ence of the desgn-for, it says, awe, Qha Editor OF
the Republican, were in Richmond at the time-va-
rious members Of the Wing party requested US 10 aid
in turning out Mr. Holleman-were willing to pltdge
the mseves support another gentleman mot Mr. la
laferro) and TO guarantee that no Wing should be run
None Of them all. TO adduce any conduct on the
part Of Mr.. Holl.man which should subject HIM u
the modification of defeat from his own party, and
We, wei! ii every friend OF Mr.. Calhoun IN Inc
L,gisli ture, turned deaf ear u their propositions
Why this proposition made to the Editor Of the
"Repullcan, bat with the hope, that he might prevail
upon the friends of Mr. Calhoun TO avail themselves OF
the Wing vote, TO superseds Mr.. Hcleman by some
Calhoun candidate 7 Why did he not add, that the
proposition made to him to place the Wing vote at
his disposition for that very purpose The "RePub-
can" says, that it was "anoher gentleman, and no.
Mr. Talisferro, who was proposed to be run and
he also says that "Mr Talaferros name is most nde-
corously brought into this m1tter. We hope we owe
no apology and explanation to Mr.. Taiaterro for
bringing his in, for he is too well acquainted
with the sincere respect and the warm feelings We bear
for him, and which have ever borne him since the
Charlottesville Convention Of lS40, 10 believe, for one
moment, that would be capable of using his name,
on any OCCASION lightly, indecorousy, or dlsrespectfu
y and in the very article which 1.-THE Republican
refers took t, do justice Il the high beafing
and dsnerested conduct Of that sable and accomplish
ed man Who is the "unother gentleman referred TO
BY the "Rspubcan," the deponent knows not, and
suspects not. But do know, we stated that on
Friday last, it was Mr.. Taliaerros heard as
the one of power and distinction, land they are lnfe
rior 10 in the LegslatureD upon whom The Wings
wished to unite it was his name that was heard on
Thursday night at Washington, by member of the
Legislature, as having been uttered by some "leaky
vessel of the Wing co-potlers And We could name
another fact which confirms all that we have said
But we never believed, for moment, that either Mr.
Taaferro, any other friend Of Mr.. Calhoun in The
House, would sen to the Syren song OF the Wings.
