HUNTSVILLE, Nov. "a, lS4S.


iMessrs. Green g. Shirley: In the last
number of the Howard county Banner, !
find some one writing on the subject of the
contested election in this county, who signs
himself :" Voice Of Truth" If person
not known to the facts of the contested
election in this county, should see the com.
munication in question, he might conclude
that Mclean and Many Wings" were
really endeavoring to give things different
aspect from what they of right should wear;
but to those who are known TO the facts OF
the case, "Voice of Truth" has made himself
appear quite preposterous, if not ridicu.
lous in the extreme. 1t is known by eve.
ry man and nearly every woman and child
in this county, that DR.. Oliver did propose
to Mr.. Garth to run the race over, and
that Garth informed him that his friends
were not willing for him to do SO. Yet
strange as it does appear, Voice of Truth
asserts thot he is authorized by Mr.. Garth
to say that the language contained in
McLeans letter, was not, at any time
used by him to Oliver, or any person. ]
ask in the name of common sense, wha,
does Mr.. Garth and "Voice of Truth
mean or expect by such denial Do they
expect TO create the impression that Mr.

b. CELEBRATION AT FAYETTE.

Inc wings or Fayette and vicinity had
a glorious celebration last Thursday night
The day was rather unfavorable, which
prevented many from being present-but
night found some three hundred together
in the best of spirits
At signal from the cannon, the houses
of the wings were brilliantly Illuminated.
The town presented very handsome ap.
pearance, thus lighted, many of the win
dows being tasefully et,ered, with the
names of the distinguished men whose
election was being celebrated, and other
significant devices. .-
Soon after the illumination, a procession
was formed, headed by the Glasgow Brass
Band, (Col. J. II. Shepard and Robert s.
Hughes, Esq, MarshaIs) and moved
through the various streets of the place.
There was number of transparancies in
the procession, with various inscriptions
and carricatures, having reference to the
result Of the election in different States,
the brilliant achievements of Gen. Taylor,
&C., &c. We noticed very tasty one
from our neighboring village, Monticello,
to which was appended wooden sword,
which looked as if it had been the hero of
an hundred fights, or had been shivered in
a fit Of Indignation. Our loco friends, per-
haps, know what it meant, as we under.
stand one of them begged it, desiring to
keep it as relic of the platform" of the
late partyD As the procession passed the
different houses, they were cheered by the
waving of handkerchiefs, from the only
living beings, friend or foe, TO whom Gen
Taylor ever surrendered.
After the procession, the company as
sembed at the Court House, when DR..
THOS. N. COCKERILL, of this place,
was chosen President, and Milton WITH.
Frs and F. w. NASH. Vice Presidents.
The President addressed the assemblage
a. some length, in a speech admirably
adapted TO his position and the occasion,
and was followed by Mr.. Leonard, Gen.
Clark, Maj. Rollins, Gen. Wilson, of Ran
dolph, Col. Davis, and Mr.. Smith, of Mon
ticello--the band performing its part, be-
tween each speech. The house was crow
ded during the evening,a respectable por-
ton Of the audience being ladies'. The
speakers were repeatedly, and loudly cheer
ed. There were too many speeches to at
tempt sketch Of them all, and we shall
show no Partially.
After very pleasant evening, the meet.
ing adjourned with cheers for the Ladies
for the Wings of Monticello, the Wings o.
Glasgow, and lastly, for Taylor and Fill
more.

ONE OF THE PEOPLE.

Messrs. Green q. Shrley:--With your
permission, we propose inviting the atten-
lion of the medical profess ion generally in
this section of the State, but particularly
that par, of it resident in Glasgow and vi
cinity, to the propriety of organizing a
medical association in this city.
Some of the chief objects proposed to be
accomplished by the association, are friend
ly intercourse among Physicians, inter-
change ofopinions in all that relates to phys
c, the elevation of medicine, &c.
In all the cities and most of the large
towns in the Union, institutions similar to
the one proposed, are to be found. The ia
vorable attention of the medical world is
now directed to the subject. The best
wisest and most learned of the profession
are now zealously engaged in. the advance.
ment of the cause, and recommending such
organizations any where among regularly
educated physicians, with view to the ele.
walton of the profession and harmony
among its members. .....
1t is true that large cities afford more ia
cilities to such associations, from proximity
&C., than small places, yet it is equally true
that small towns have also their advantages
and many of them have done much to pro,
mote the interests of medicine. With the
resident physicians of Glasgow and those
in its vicinity united, respectable associa
ton could be formed; and, on those of the
profession residing at distance DESTROYS Of
uniting with US, honorary membership could
be conferred.
1t were needless at present to enter into
lengthy exposition of the advantages and
good results to be obtained from such an
observation-disclosures however the subject
meet with favor, we will most cheerfully
give whatever aid, it may be in our power
to the promotion of what we believe TO be
good and bende cial object.

ORGANS OF THE BRITONS.

We learn from the Pike county Qll.) Free
Press, Of the 10th, that the Locofocos of
Griggsville, in that county, on the Saturday
night previous, collected together, procured
an old coat, pantaloons and hat, stuffed them
with straw, called them Gen. Taylor, and
actually burnt them to ashes in the streets
of that town.

THE BANNER STATE"

Returns have been received from all the
counties in this State, but one or two, and
the boosted majority that Cass was TO get,
of 10000 votes, will not exceed 7,0OO!-
This is but about half of Kings majority
over Rollins. The loco papers, throughout
the State, claimed it for Cass, by 10000
and many of their readers, believing them,
were hunting "green whigs," who were
willing to bet that his majority would not
exceed 10000. They found few, and
that few are now "raking down" the
stakes!
but our boys didn't come to the
polls" says one. "A good many of them
did come and vote for Taylor" we reply
" But still, there are good many who did
not vote" Certainly, but it was because
you run man they did not care about see
ing elected"
Another race with old lack for a leader,
and the Banner State" will be with him.
DISGRACEFUL CONDUCT.

that upon the receipt of the news of Tay-
or's election a, Jefferson City, the Rever-
end Hampton l.. Boon, State Printer.
Chaplain to the Penitentiary, sc, and Fa!k-
land II. Martin, Secretary of State, hung
Grape on their door knobs, windows, gate
posts and trees about their premises.
Such disgraceful conduct as this, on the
part of any person, ought to Danish them
without the pale of civilized society; but
when is perpetra,ed by office holders, SER
wants Of the people, in high official stations
and one of them, too, officiating in minis.
terial capacity, language fails TO furnish q
sufficient rebuke for the sacrilegious act
Why should these locofoco office holders
thus outrage common decency? Is Gener.
al Taylor savage, a monster, a devil incar.
nate? Is not that country safe in his hands,
whose life has been a thousand times per-
rilled to defend her honor and fame? Is i,
thus the man is to be met whose youth ant
manhood, even TO old age, has been spen
in toll and danger, defending the fresides
of those who mock him? Alas for the spiri
of locofocoism it harbors even such feel
ings, and its votaries unblushngly betray
them. This specimen of locofocoism, shows
what it would d. had it the power; bu
thanks to free and intelligent people, i
has been overthrown, and the fate of the
few who are still animated by it, is ever
now recorded

UP The locos contend that the recent
election decided nothing, so far as princi.
pies are concerned, because the wings ad-
vocated nothing. Let US take them at their
word. The wings were in favor of moth
ing: the locos pressed it upon the people,
that the success of Gen. Cass was the on
ly means of preserving the Sub Treasury,
the Tariff As 1t IS, and preventing such a
system Of Internal improvements as would
improve our Western Rivers, &c.
The People decided against ,hem-pre-
ferring nothing to such state of affairs.
This is the exact point TO which the
reasoning of the locos bring them, and if
they are satisfied, the wings certainly will
not complain!
" The wings of ST. Louis had a grand
celebration last night week. The torch
light procession was one of the most impo.
sing ever witnessed in that city. After the
procession, Hon. Edward Bates addressed
the people at the Rotunda. There was a
ball and supper, the proceeds of which is
to be given to the poor of the city. Re-
joicing that makes glad the heart of the
distressed, is worthy of all commentator;
and in this our ST. Louis friends deserve
great credit.

IL so, they must place low estimate on
the understanding of the public. If such
was not their object, why should they be
so very particular in disputng the language
of McLean's letter, when they know full
we'll and dare not deny the fact, that if
Mr.. Garth did not use the precise language
of that letter, he did use language TO the
very same effect. Again he asserts that
Garth did propose to run the race over,
and Oliver refused, saying his friends were
not willing. Now it is about as well known
here as the above fact, that Mr.. Garth said
if DR.. Oliver would resign that he would
not contest the election--but that he would
become candidate the second time. Now
| ask, what man of any sense at all, would
suppose for one moment, that Oliver, after
having been elected by the people of this
county, and when he was entitled to GER
tifica,e of that election, would have re-
signed, proposed or accepted any PROPOSE
ton to run the race over or refer the cleo
ton to the people, until his seat 'oas con-
tested? Such course would have been
without parallel, and such as no man of
sense would have pursued. Garth, howev-
er, only expressed his willingness to run
the race over if Oliver would resign before
his seat was contested, but made no propo-
sition to that effect to Oliver. In his
conversation with Mclean he made no
such conditions; but when DR.. Oliver made
the proposition, in formal manner he re-
fused, notwithstanding his declarations to
the contrary. "Voice of Truth" thinks
his friend, Mr.. Garth, wronged by McLean's
letter. Now, it was month from the time
McLean's letter was published, until "Voice
of Truth" makes his complaint. If Mr..
Garth had considered himself really ag-
grieved in that letter, he most certainly
would have sought redress before this time.
| Again: Voice of Truth" asserts that Nc
Lean exonerates the democracy from any
paricipancy in the course pursued by
Garth. Now Mclean has said no such
thing, nor did he mean any such thing
He stated that the democracy did not, as a
party, appreciate the course pursued, but
did not throw all the blame on Mr.. Garth
and exonerate "Voice of Truth" and 9TH
ers, as he doubtless would like to make it
appear, since the laurels won are likely to
be scarce in this contested election
"Voice of Truth" is beautiful name, in.
deed, to be affixed to production! The
author must think that there is great deal
in name. would, however, venture a
small sum. that if he would have his head
Phrenologised, that the organ of language
which doubtless is with him synonymous
with voice, predominates largely, while the
more modest organ of Truth, if it exists al
all, will scarcely ever raise its head.

said truly, that intellectual food needs to

We know that Inactivity obscurcs the
brightness of many passing hour; but
time employed in the reading of novels
not only obscures the time and wastes
the energies TO all noble action, but
there is a sting left behind-the vigor of
