Wilmington journal. [volume] (Wilmington, N.C.) 1844-1895, 1845-03-21

my words, that you have periured your
selves. What do you think Of that! We
know wha, you ,hink and feel. We know
tina, the only feelings with which yon can
regard the miserable creature are those of
scorn and contempt. We know you have
sense and spiri. enough TO treat this mat
ter in the proper way. But we suppose
the Chronicle IS only the moulh-piece of
petty clique in Wilmington, and we ran
tell this clique, if they are DESTROYS to goad
on the Democratic party in this county to
q. war ofthe knife. they will. perhaps, find
the contest to be rather a rough one. But
the Chronicle says that I" Ii is proper to
say. and it is due 10 the gentlemen to no.
tice the fact, that two OF the Magistrates Of
the dominant party on the bench, Charles
| Henry, and James T. Miller, Esquires,
did not vote for Mr.. Fulton" Now we
would never have enquired Of either Of
! these two gentlemen. whether they did or
did not vote for us, but the former. Col.
! Miller, called at our Office. and requested
us to correct il SO far as regards himself
He desires us to state that he did not vote
at all, for this reason, that lie is Chairman
of the Count, and, as such, never votes in
elections unless when there is tie. Had
there been tie in the case in point, he
desires us 10 say, that he would most
certainly have voted for D. Fulton.
With regard to the second article of the
Chronicle, we should most certainly have
taken another mode Of noticing II, but for
the advice of friends who are better &C.
quainled with A. A. Browns character
than We are. A. A. Brown is merely:the
stipendiary OF a certain corporation IN this
place, and the Federal concern at the head
Of hIch he is ostensibly placed is merely
the tool of that corporation. and in a grea,
measure kept up by it. But the Editor
OF the Chronicle says that our professions
al associates consider us as an ''interloper'
amongst them. will any of our profess
sional associates endorse this? lfthey will,
we will know then that we have gentlemen
10 deal with. and Can act accordingly. THAI
we have roamed about the country like q
needy adventurer in search OF spoils. Is {
gratuitous and base Ea!sehood, whether A
A. Brown or the individual hom we sup
pose is the author Of the assertion. We
never attended meeting during the whole
campaign to which we were not invited by
our felow-citzens. What part we have
taken in politics has sought us, and not we
it. A few words in explanation of how
we came 10 Wilmington, and we have
done.
Some six or eight months ago we were
living at Clinton, in Sampson county
pursuing our profession as member o
the bar. when we were solicited to com,
to this place and take charge Of the Demo
cratic Press. We hesi,ated long be(or
,, we accepted the invitation, we'll knowing
: that in complying with it we we're stan
ding in our own light. Since we hav
been here we have been treated with kind
ness and respect by our political opponent
with few exceptions. This respec,fi,
treatment has been extended to US wi,hou
any seeking on our pa.t; and "e can as
> sure our " hig friends. that if the Chroni
y Gle has sounded the note Of It's withdraw
we shall endearOt to bear it without bein
), entirely overcast. With the closing re
mark that we will not again annoy curse
- or our readers with this matter ,hroug
= the columns Of the Journal, and tina, "
are perfectly willing to leave ,he Who'll
affair in The hands Of the reading comm,
= nifty, unless. indeed, A. A. Brown Or hi
:, secret instigGtor, are DESTROYS of settlin
=" it some other way, we take leave of A.
g Brown.
