That Subornaiiou of Perjury.

The editor of the DcmocrGt strives in vain to change the issue in relation to the exposure of this business, and make us, instead of Maj. Boraud, the author of the attempt to prove bim guilty. He twists round in all conceivable ways, and doubles like hare before the hounds to evade the fact we first made public, that his friend. the ex-Senator had prepared the proofs, not we that the candidate for the Senate he now supports with much energy and warmth, had examined and compiled the evil dence shown to us, and we knew nothing more of it than Major Borland chose to disclose to us. If there was in that charge against the honesty of any of the sherifs. certainly every one would see the absurdiiy and outright tfasehood perpetrated in placing to our publication any wrong 10 the sheritfs If there be injustice to them, and 10 Woodruff in the statement, and efforts of Maj Borlaud, as known and exhibited to many gentlemen of this place who have made the fact known to us, let the odium rest where it should. Every struggle he makes every new lie he invent'. but plunges him deeper in The mire and tells more plainly that he is sinking with shame under the rod which hangs over him, Personal abuse of us, and of our friends anG we have many who know the facts, ss we have stated them, will, in wise, ameorate his situation or relieve him from the degradation of having been forced into trcachery to friehd by terror.
 The editor asks why we do not "appy to the same records and compile the same iactsf' Simply be- cause, have before stated, it was not our ob- ject to make him out perjurer, for his com. mou reputation, surely furnishes matter black enough to satisfy inc most eager enemy who pur- sues him, had we any such motive.
 We set out win the plain intention of showing the relation between the editor and Major Borland aAd the cause of Woodrnr's new-born affection for man whom he has abused as loudly as hc has al. most every other prominent democrat. In this, very much 10 the ehagrin of both the editor and the Senator, we have succeeded so far as the mi ads of honest men can be convinced, and the alliance we can scarcely conceive 10 be longer comfortable oae. With hate and distrust one side, and terror and eachery the other i is hard to believe tha, anything but the most desperate necessity coa,d produce such an amagamatlon; but misery sone- times makes strange bed fellows
 Apart form this, we might bring proofs from the columns of the BaRaer- --when edited by Mai Bo.- land, and the Dem0crai of the same day, when inc most viru'ept and reyeageful abuse of each othe. SSN"P'NN iSSScCbvc tOiuiufS, ana sHiLcifDt was said on both sides cause asioaisbment in the minds Of men who have not forgotten, ths, such ss'isiian Joreioensss should still exist,
 IL was si this period that Major Boriand sought the evidences of "subornation of perjury" by Woodruff and af'sr collecting what he could in re- iation to il, was, ii seems dissuaded from it. I It is unnecessary to revert to the testimony of Jared C. Martin. He is well known in the coun,y and state and all the low malicious slantsr which Is piled aPen ha by the editor of the Dsmeerat or his PTcsssseaai friends cannot change the force of his word What object had he ia making such ] statement 1T !, were not trusl He had no revenge to gFaiiy, no candidate b bolster up. lie made simply statement of facts which came under his knowledge ss keeper of the records, facts which ~ers Known. as we find. to many other gentlemen of this place.
 When Cot A. II. Rutherford, who ;s daily expec ted, reaches hero, VIC will make ore joh of if. and qait the subject, for he can and no doabi will that he handed 10 ns, whom became editor of the Baaaer, the evidences to which we have alluded.
