He says, q hav satisfied myself from facts and observations falling within my own notice tha, Col. Ashley and h' organ, Editor Woodruff, seeing that Drew and Johnson who are inimicai 10 them, are about to r re-nominatet by the party, are trying 10 form combination with Whigs to defeat thefn--deieai n' true democratic party and build up new Pr subject to the will, wishes and control of the Sendo and to prescribe every man in the State who d0r' not bow to his edcts. The plan is this to run New ton a Taylor Candidate for Congress, or Per'sY a Taylor dem0c,at for Governor hoping thereog 10 combine the Whigs. Ashley men, and all deme crats who can be drawn of by the influence of Ia! Tors name as popular military leader and 10 TOTE a party strong enough 10 defeat the nominees oi us Democratic party. The evidences these: WIZ ness the fact that the leading Whigs are agaIHs holding a Convention of their own, and makf nominations. That Newton is q pei of Ashley aa W oodrnf, and they favored his election 10 tl fai' vacancy" &c, Now, Mr, Editor, only obTa In noticing the statements of this writer Is 10 d'ni their truth so as l am concerned, and to dsial" in the most emphatic terms. as now dc. any 'e derstanding, arrangement or plan between hesfS Ashley, Woodruff and myself in rgard to Pe'hm' movements.
