As such, being the production Of one man
alone, be considered as exhibiting correctly the
feelings Of the whole Wing party Of Madison
towards the people Of Scott. Nay, it could
not. Neither would it have betrayed half the
dlsrespecl for them as was exhibited by that
mock Convention which nominated Mr., s.
For the members Of that convention not only
deprived a portion Of their own county Of a
voice in lheis councils, but 90 far disdained
the poor county Of Scott; and 40 insignificant
and Of such trivial importance did they regard
her, as not to give her the least notice Of the
time and place Of meeting Of their intended
Convention; and thus tacitly deprived her oi
the inostimable right Of sending delegates to
attend it. They were, therefore, extremely
silent upon the subject, and going to work

before the people Of the whole district as the
Democratic candidate for Senator, the Caucus
nominee. / would now ask Mr.. s. if this Con-
%ventiOn possessed that respect and regard for
the people Of Scott, of which he accuses the
Creole Of being destitute. He must answer,
they did not. But how did the Wings proceed
when they wished a candilate to oppose Mr..
Singleton? Did they club together and with
out ever consulting the wishes Of the Wings
OF Scott nominate one Of their own number,
throw him before the people Of the district and
say, he shall be the only Wing candidate for
Senator? No, far from it, they possessed a
more liberal and yielding spirit-thcy had too
much regard for the feelings Of the people,
They agreed to leave the choice Of a Wing
candidate to the Wings Of Scott; and after
sufficient consultation on both sides, Judge
Fielder was agreed upon as the most suitable
man, which has, so far as we have learned,
given universal satisfaction. 1 would now
again ask Mr.. Singleton il this act Of the
Wings Of Madison betrayed in them any Of
that "pOrticular" disrespect for the people Of
Scott which he labored so hard to prove that
they entertained. And after all this, the
strangest thing yet is, that the Wings are &c.

Of attempting to impose upon the ignorance
Of the piney.wOods boys, and endeav ring to
create in their minds a prejudice against the
Democratic candidate, because he is a citizen
Of Madison. This, to say the least of it, is
decidedly ungeneTous, since | have neither

one attempting to impose upon the ignorance
OF the boys, Or Of endeavoriug to prejudice
them against the Democratic candidate; nei.
Their do believe that any such attempt has

instance Of this sort that has ever taken plaza
in the county originated with Mr.. Singleton
himself, which was, endeavoring to prejudice
the scottites against the Wings Of Madison.
