In reply, Mr.. C. promptly accepts Inc hono'
so rcpealedy rendered, and gives expression 10
the following noble and just sentiments:
ali elected, YOU will find, that what was IN

In accepting the honor offered me, oil being the
candidate OF the Republican party, cannot be

DESTROYS OF injuring my political opponent, ior
respect him highly, and regret that la'e nam

We fully agree with the Fredericksburg Re-
corder that there is no man in Virginia "who
would better grace seat in our Legislature, than
MIR. Carter, and we most earnestly hope ne may
be elected. A perfect gentleman, ripe scholar
and most excellent Democrat-the united De-
mocracy of Virginia will make obeisance to
good old King George, II she will elect him"
We will add that Mr.. c. is one of the sweetest
poets and mos, humorous writer's as the columns
of lii Enquirer will testify. Whilst we have The
highest personal regard for our good Wing friend
Wallace, and wish him success in euc'y'h,ns bu'
his polics. we canno, bul look forward with
pleasure 10 The prospec, o; The political resenera'
ton of old King George, in the person of so true
a Democra, and so accomplished man.
