!. GrWe learn from The Ba,esville Eagle and
other sources that Col. Roane is assailing Judge
Odham's position in favor of the Improvement of
our navgable streams. Col. Roane and Judge
Oldham Travelled together, and spoke the same
sions in this par, of the State. but the former
did not assail the latter when they were face to
face. and when Judge o. could have responded.
IF he had done 80 it would have been fairer and
more honorable Bu, availing himself of the po.
siion which has been assigned him by the
party, travelling behind Judge o. and assaling
him and the interests of this section Of the State,
is without extenuation.
In assaing Judge Odham's position, Col.
Roane arraigns the votes of Gen. Cass, Of Sewer,
Ashley and Yell on the River and Harbour bills.
of Col. Johnson. the Wentworth Resolutions;
and in his recent effort to obtain an appropria-
ton of $25, 900 for the improvement Of White
River. How he can reconcile himself to such a
was placed upon the electoral ticket-to serve in
this section of the State, ard he is using his posi-
ton, in opposition to the feelings and interests of
the North West, and to their injury.
TThe Banner says that the wings are en-
deavoring to make capital out Of the Senatorial
election, aided by the detection of portion of the
democratic press. No set of politicians or presses
have done more to split up our ranks than the
friends of the Banner. In this county they have
brought out independen. candidates for the Legs-
ature, against the regular nominees Of the party,
by which means they expect to disorganise the
democratic party. and to allow wings to slip in
through our severed ranks. We charge these
things upon the friends and patrons of the Ban
ner-the friends and supporters Of Col. SEWER
The two dsorganising candidates are the open
and avowed friends of Col. Sewer, and have come
out as candidates in opposition to the nominees of
the party; because they were for Maj. BorIand,
in compliance with the demands of The democratic
party. They have no prospect or hope of cleo
ton, but merely thrown out as bait to catch
unwary democrats, and thereby secure the eec-
ton Of wings.
But this attempt at disorga nization will meet
with utter failure. We have just returned from
the canvass of ,he county, and we can say to our
friends that a's well, if we act our parts well.-
If all the faithful will perform their duty, we have
nothing TO fear from this Infamous spirit of treach.
