no farther what was his conduct in the late snass meeting'' proposed by himself, for the purpose of sending delegates to the State Conventions It is notorious that that occasion he went to the City Ha and with indecent haste, before the Secretary had either seat or table, and when not than thir 1 ty persons had assembled, he proposed preamble andresolutions of an inhammatory and dsorganizing tendency What was the result? It is equally mo- torleus that so soon as the people assembled, and the question was taken he, with his preamble and resolutions, was voted down-lelt in a minority of one vote, and that one his own This we would think, indicated with sufficient accuracy, the es- mate that is placed upon him and his pretended De- mocracy, by the people of Pulaski county where he is best known We mention these facts in confr- nation of own opinion of this editor and his pa per. Mark also, his course in regard to the Con- vention He had pretended great earnestness in calling for this Convention-great desire that it should assemble-attended the meeting which sent Delegates to itthere pledged himself to sabide its decisions, and all fair and honorable means to secure the election of its nominees''-got himself appointed one of the eightyt three deegates-attend ed the participated in its deliberations made long profession of Democratic faith before it-claims (though falsely) tohave been recipient of it's expression of confidence and commendation! ! Yes all these things has he done, without blush ; and yet refuses to place the nominees of the Con yention in his columns, or say one word in adyoca cy of their claims And all the while, his columns teeming with laudatory notices of Whig candidates, and the vilest islanders, and most malicious insnua tions against Democrats.

Is there true Democrat, or an honest man of any party, to gansay this
 But how is the "Times and Advocate" sustained who supports it-who subscribes for it-who recog- nzes it as Democratic paper?
 In answer to these questions, we but speak what we believe to be the common opinion when we say Whigs support it. If a democratic paper has ever recognized it, as worthy co-aborer, we have yet to see it, and certain We arc it would not after knowing it. That it is subscribed for and patron- zed almost ntrely by Wings is well known. It is doubted whether it has hundred, or even ffly democratic subscribers in the whole State It is the common expression of Democrats that they would greatly prefer to subscribe for open unds- guised, honest whig paper than for it. Whig pa pers exultngly quote from it the antidemocratc ar- tcles which fill it's columns and one writer in the Gazette says that it will do more good now than when it open Whig paper. Surely these things amply sufficient to indicate, beyond a doubt its certain party relations and brand it. through {lo Whig papers; serving for that kind of dirty work, by means of treachery, which decent Whig papers would scorn to do
 But if any should yet doubt, a few facts have re- gently been communicated to us which concludes the whole matter; and which, for want of room, we reserve for 6 finishing touch' next week.
