My attention has, by tue kindness friend, been called
that twopenny hapenny paper called the Jeersonian
Republican, printed in the town OF Charlottesville which
by the Is poor that it has only publisher; but
vsabe, tangible Editor. lh that paper OF the 25h inst
there article headed Gov. Gilmer-the Nelson Meet
ing" In which the tell the People Of Abe

ed crush personally, well politically this distinguished
chiyalrous and honorable But why ask should
writer IN disguise mark the vctm and his bitter
and malignant feelings IL n pened resolutions
at unanimously adopted by the meeting But have
yet 10 learn that was more responsible tor writing them
than the meeting for voting for them; but what the
resolution that this defender OF Mr. GImors personal
character (which assaed suspected by me
ecsio and appeals 10 the People OF Albomare upon will
insert 1t:
18th Resolred, That the keeping the Polls open in Ma

of the election laws of Virginia. and that Thomas W Gil

Madison, and believe caused the Polls be kept
open there and have do doubt they kept open
Greene by his management that
leaving Nelson the Monday before the election he express
ed anxiety that there might be sufficient keep
the Polls open"
Now this is the Resolution upon which this .Second

pie Albemare, and Mr. Gmer believe that his charac-
ter man OF honor, Is assaled. will only say for my
SELF that intended to convey such meaning do
