10 TKE EDITOR OF THE STANDARD .SGSfr. In the
Salisbury Watehmap, oftbe 2sth of December last,
find the above article which I have no doubt was
intended to njnre me in Davidson County. 1t char
ges me with betraying my Wing friends, by voting
for John w. Ellis, Esq, for Judgeof the Superior
Court, and inquiries whether will attempt to make
my friends believe that ledge Ellis is better qualii
ed for that station than Jadge Battle bat he does
not say Mr. Ellis is unfit for that station. He .fthe
author of the article above) thinks if can satisfy
my W hlg friends of Davidson that i am right they
must have more confidence in nae than he has. Now
m had 81,
either or my friends have in him, no doubtit would
difficult matter for satisfy them that was
right but they having confidence in me, have ale
ways been able to satisfy them that was right:
and in order to satisfy my friends at home and abroad
L certainly have pursued much more honorable
course than the writer of the above article. / made
my defence IN the Commons Hall, in,the presence
of all the members of that body, when could have
been contradcted if had madean untrue statement
received no contradiction, and what is much more
gratifying to is, that succeeded in giving gener-
al sahsfacuon to both parties in the General Assem-
bly, and, so far as know, all the papers of both
parties has sustained me nv course excepting this
pltltuL article In the Wachman. Indeed Il might as
well have treated the matter with silent contempt
which IT deserved; for assure the person who
that article that when it becomes necessary for ne
to yield to some disappointed oficehunter, for fear
that he Will give stab in the dark, by the pub
lcaton OF such charges, will mo- longer ask the
support OF the true Wings of Davidson But, so
long as l act as always have done, / hope may
have nothing to fear. ev, q .f. & a.c-sss ~ :
. have made so full a statement of facts In my
speech. N Justification of my course, that think Il
unnecessary again to repeat it. But will saw that
both parties Were so equally balanced that the frst
OF the session was spent before the Senate was or
ganized, and about $3.50. of the peoples money per
day, because each party wished their friends 10 have
the benefit of the Offices But little Iponld thesbeo
pie care who got the money SO their business was
done. But what was the result : Why both 'Hoa-
ses compromised, by equally vidfng the profits aud
honors of the offices. My course here has been hon
oTabe and beneficial to the State. L have been very
careful IN voting for men during this session. en-
ertaIn doubt that for that very reason the article
OF the Matehman has been called forth. certainly
cannot think that 1t was the Editors of the Wateh-
man themselves who would sput forth such language.
However, have finally come to the conclusion that
1t must have been produced under these circumstan-
ces Not long since there wass some transient tra-
weller who had been in Raleigh, and in rambling
about accidently fell into the Watcbnan Ofice-the
Editors being absent-and ,awakng from a visionary
and delusVe dream, judged that the Legislature had
done wrong, and especially by voting against Judge
Battle too much fear that nay. objectionable sin
lies in the fact that have voted formen in some cases
that were fit instead of those thought unfit for the
station proposed to- be filed. My object here is only
intended to meet. the author of The article in the
Watchulans be he who he may. But said the writer,
tits apparent that Walser's opponent knew him bot
tel. than his friends. No doubt my opponent knew
memueh better than this writer But he tai ks about
ruling passion-ifl he means an honest and nncon-
troable mind, he is right for once. And to mydo-
ing the State lnusticeby Veing against Judge Battle,
ltor which have given my reasonss) i would like
the writer to give the names of all the candidates
who have been4run here during the session, and see
Whetherl have not regarded the interested the State
In conclusion, caa only say, that Ihope other
will mind their own business and will endea-
yor to discharge my duty here-that is my whole aim
and desire am no newspaper writer, and am
drawn into the matter in self defence. hope that
my friends will examine closely my course here, and
Judge for themselves, as / am alone responsible To-
them. - s-s.sy5A5a5se > as asfss H. sWALSER. 4
