NJ friend has mentioned 10 US this week,
,h,, tale thai Ashley writes all the letters which
,re published in his praise, is diligently circulated
in some of the northern counties by the Yell men,
We propounce this tale not only shallow hum
brc but an infamous fasehood. Those loo who
or;y;n,ed and set it aaoat knew it TO be such. We
have published many letters in praise Of Ashley.
and be has never seen them or known OF their
.x;s,c, .e mi he has seen them in our columns.
Col. Ashley docs not need topen letters IN his
own defence, or engage others TO do so' as some
we wo, of in high place are obliged to do. No.
Cd. Ashley will be praised so long as talent
} industry, merit, and z alous desire TO serve
his State, are worthy qualities. lie possesses
them to their full extent, his malicious petty SIAN
derers to The contrary notwithstanding. Our IN
f dionalon is aroused against such cnlumnles, mol
,ba, we think the people will be affected by them'
bu, because they exhibit the utter dePravi!y Of
those who fabricate them. Tho people sec better
-,hcy do not judge Col. Ashley by letse's--they
Judge him by his works, his acts and their fruits
In. 1n."-.,. ~ -L--r e. F--.-. 'i.~ ''p"'d
for" articles of Mr.. Woodruff. was too much for
the front of Mr.. Rutherford TO stand: he has
called 10 his aid tho redoublable editor who left
the Banner las. winter feeling doubtless, con
ynced that his course then was disnpprovcd by
the peopIe. Well, "iwo heads are much better
than one."
So tho "effigy" has come back to his old post.
We relish the change; bu, must be allowed to say
that we can make proposition to tho editor OF
the Banner which VIZ still more greatly relish :
the Banner needs motto with an Illustrative
picture: taking the editors history as tIst, we
will suggest ono.
Picture out large stake around which arc
gathered and bound fagots and brush to the stake
let Gen. Jackson's efigy be fastened, to the righ.
let the editor of the Banner stand exuItingly with
torch in his hand about to sci fire 10 the pile.
In circle of letters over the stake let "EFFlGl"
be seen. This We think an admirable Figure
he"d." 1t will bring to tho mi ID Of the Banner
edi.or-Dr. Borand-a bye-past scene, which
occurred when he (not just "reeking from the
nursery" buD in the years Of discretion did burn
Con. Jackson in efisy. 1t will also shew the
people who ho is, and what manner of men Gov.
Yo has for his supporters.
