LIST. Is he not the same E. C. Wilkinson who b
sold the Union Bank bonds to Nicholas Biddle, 4
as set gu: in certain documents printed in the 4
Senate Journal for 1889, pages 1851, 2 and %? {
End. Did not "HOu, E. C. Wilkinson'' offer, {
and N. Biddle accept, those bonds at less than
their par value, and did not "Hon. E. G, Will
kinson" on the next day write to the President
Of the Union Bank that he had sold them at
par valueP
Sd. Did not Gov. A. G. McNuu. in his cele-
brated letter to Hope & Co,-Senate Journal
l842, page 70,-denounce said sale os frGudu-
lenL and as made below par value, "Hon &c.
Wilkinsonn to the contrary Notwithstanding,
and did not the great anti-bond Legislature Of
1912 adopt the report Of the joint select COM
mittee on the Union Bank, which committee
declared (Senate Journal, 7l3) that an exami-
nation Of said letter proved the correctness Of
the position of the Governor? na lsa
4th. Was not "Hon. E c. Wilkinson' more
violent and bitter than any other Bond wing in
the State, out Heroding Herod and out Prentiss-
ing Prentiss, while in jackson in l843 and IA,
in his vilifcation of the anti-bond party?

Mr.. Southron, l am an anti-bond loco foco
Of the sIraightest sect, and will not allow any
y supporter Of Judge Wilkinson to be behind me
. in that respect. For my part, however, should
dislike to take up any messy, vehement, denun-
y ciu,oryi vindictive partisan of my " creed
e for a judicial office. But when a commission
er 10 sell the Union Bank bonds, a red hot
y "honor and dignity denunciator of the anti
y bond party, a %pattisan violent as any Of the
wings Of he great embodiment,' is set up as
the. democratic candidate for Judge Of the High
Court, | cannot but wonder that any democrat
e. should be so mean spirited as to caress the
hand which has stricken his party, and to flat
ter the tongue which has often denounced it.
Does Col. Bell, of the Winston paper, recol'
lect his votes in l842, in the State Senate; and
call on him to testify what he knows about

Is it part Of the true democracy Of Col q. G
Dease, to advocate such a democratic candi'
date as E. C. Wilkinson? Let him let Gov
Brown, who has been a democrat ever since he
was of age, run unmolested, and turn his pow
erful artillery on one who, ii q democrat, hal
become one since the great maiorities of GU
party have rendered tadvisable for a candidate
to turn one. fsEt H% ~
