Gov YELL AND HIS REAL ESTATE BANK
STOCK AGAIN.

s Nov, that the elections are over and Gov. Yell |
is elected to Congress by majority, over the lit

bor elect to review over the invidious charges
brought against him, at late day, and which his
enemies made the most of in their power
1t is known that one Of tho grounds of Colonel
Walkers availability was the fact that his hands
were clean Of the State Banks. (And we hope by
the way that it will not be obtrusive here for us to
add that, until about the time of Davy's nomina.
lion his conscience was clean of having advocated
the cons'itutionalty or expediency of National

he will return to the true faith shorty.) But to

stock to E. II. Fletcher, and that he had Col. Dren.

Walker denied. To prove the issue on his art
Gov. Yell produced the regular transfer and tho
certificate of Col. Drennen. To maintain The
denial, Col. Walker proved that Fletcher never

and therefore Yell was still stockholdor. The
conclusions OF the wings wore always too refined

that transfer of stock was a remuneration of

If It be again objected that the stock and the
land on which it was awarded are nseparable, We
have now to answer that, upon full examination
we find no evidence that Gov Yell ever did mort.
gage his own Or any one else's land to the Bank,
and we are authorised to say that no such mort.
gage ever was, in fact, made or delivered TO the
Bank
| We feol tho more certain of the truth of this
statement since, after all the parade about this
matter, tho whg papers. under the eye of Pike and
Newton, have never yet paraded the mortgage of
Yell or any statement in regard to it.
Will tho wings now say that Gov. Yell is
stockholder, mortgage or no mortgage, transfer or
no ransfer? We should not be surprised should
