Mr. HAYWOOD
We call attention to the following letter
published in the North State Wing:

published in the North Stale Wing;
Wssm>sros ClTr, D {, July %. 1876.
Dear Slr Haywood has tins day re.
signed his seat IN the Senate. He was on.
posed to repeal Of the Tariff Of ls42,
and talher than vote for the Tariff Bill
now before he Senate, he preferred to re-
sign. The city IS lu. Of umors, deeply
affecting has integrity. The democracy
Of your county ought to meet forthwith,
anI denuunce him as traitor and burn
him "a etigy. Ia haste,
louts, very respectfully,
HENRY 5 CLARK.
Mr.. Clark is the representative IN Con.
gress from the EJenlon District, and there
IS every reason 10 belieys from the above
that orders must have emanated from tie
Seat of Government tina, Mr.. Haywood
should be abused aud ,lllfed by the ,rhole
Loco fuco party for the purpose Of deter.
ring others and destroying any rilec, his
refusal TO 90 for the Tariff Of $40, might
have on the moderate men Of his own par
y but we think that the honest part, after
reading his defence Will sustain hun. And
We invite attention to Mr.. IIaywood's letter
OF acceptance, especially at this tune. In
y q he warns his friends not 10 be too ready TO
charge hIm with trcachefy if questions
should arse which, as a party man he
could not support. But we give the letter
entire. lie, The Loco Focos read il:

TO It without reserve. Our State ENJOYS
as she deserves, an cnyiabIe reputation IoI
honesty and Observation-Disclosures In her de-
vorIon to liberty and the Union, she ha,

lawful authority, a reverence for law and
