Fellow. Ciiizens-Some few weeks ago writer for the
Wing who signs himself % Justice nominated me az
suitable person 10 represent hs County the Legislature
IN the roam OF Mr. Cab.l who. he stated was rumour
cd, Intended TO decline poll. As know nothing of the
writer, and had not been informed certainly that Mr. Ca
bell had made up his mind 10 retire agan offer hs ser
wees PAID deaf the nomination.
Since hii time, writer the Wing of the I7,h inst
who signs himself "A Friend Col PerroTs" has made
his appearance and from the style Of hs pso and his
signature, take him t. be hat nc proesses Er.no
10 Col Pcrrow," which seems 10 demand n rep!y
an Somewhat surprised that a Friend 10 Col Perrow'
who A"0Ts him, should have given himself the sighes,
suspicion. al Colonel Ptrruw any thing lefore tie
publication OF Justice" Of the author his intention
10 nominate him But the writer appears TO have some
fears ulon the subject declare that "Justce''
entirely unknown me- nor have tho slightest ,uspicion
who he ~ whether Wing or Democrat. And can assure
you that ON not tho man TO suppant Mr.. Cabe agans
whom have heard complaint, 10 seek tile sufsges
ct The people unasked or uncallcd. And further that
never INTENDED To do any thing which mi .t tend 10 eo
paFd the great principles OF the Wing party % unlr
STAND 'htm aud oi iis, think the people Nelson
have had suctni evidence. j. who have stood firm and
unwayenng 40 the darkest days OF adyer.ity when thou
sands quaied before the Tornado Ut General Jackson

Cd away, would make themselves better Wings tun L.

Now, fellow cit Eens ask you 20 cfrctand srv WHEEL,

when there was the slightest chance for any wing to be
elected ~ the county. And ask yourselves IL IL Is not
that IN 1888, many Why's were solicited Ia be can
ddates, who willing risk their popularity and
therefore declined the honOr-snd whether Col Porow
was not nominated m order keep the party together
without the slightest expectation that he could be elected
And II II true, that when Col PorUw had gotten the
largest vote, that any Wing aad ever gotten in The county
aud although be bad aho last day Of that election dcelaf
ed himself candidate for to next L. gatuTc, and II WIS
afterwards rendered almost certain he could he elect,
ed, II Col. Penow did decline that his parry might run
The they thought n stronger man. TO ensure n
Wing triumph And is itno fne that thru there were men
enough, willing rick their popularity and make groat
| sacrifices Tor the cause.
Now. fellow citizens, do you not think that have
