THE GOVERNORS SPEECH-GARBLING !.
A considerable portion of Gov. Manly's Speech,
before the late Wing Convention, related to the
fnsal of that officer to give the commissions Of Major
General to Col. Wheeler, after he had been duly E.
lected. Why is this left out Of the published ad-
dress! .@ .g.1 s-4 .Ess-a.5-...sas ss#s4a
Another part was devoted to explanations upon the
subject of locating the Plank Road, and His Ex-
cellcney, we learn was especially severe upon the
Rowan Indignation Meeting and Mr. Boyden; all of
which that gentleman received as meekly Is suck
ing dove" Where are those eagles' that of yore
presided over his destiny! What becomes of his
boastng and bluster in that celebrated assemblage,
which met short time since to condemn Gov.
Manly! We say that Gov. Manly dealt in no mea-
sured phrases about that Meeting and the men who
composed it; and Mr.. Bcyen had not tie boAness to
meet the Central influence, but backed out from. has
defence and The defence Of his associates. The Regis
ter is afraid to publish this portion of the Speech.
1t has no. and will not be given to the public.
Again: The Governor harangued at length upon
the location of the Western Turnpike, and the ap-
pointment Of Commissioners; and we have no hesi-
taon in saying that the people of Rutherford, and of
those Counties who opposed the Governors action,
were strongly denounced by him and their claims
ridiculed, while the whole Convention applauded.
If the Register denies this, challenge that paper
to the publication Of that portion of the Speech We
again say, it reflected and reflected severely, upon
the action Of persons who had done nothing more
than they had right to do-to put forth claim in
behalf of their Counties for share in the benefits of
an important improvement. From the Governors
Speech, one would have supposed that Rutherford
County did not belong to North Carolina, and that
her people were aliens, and not fellow citizens.
Wherefore is it that these portions of Gov. Man
Iys Speech have been withheld from the public eye
Will the Register answer! We call upon the peo-
pie Of Rutherford to take note of these facts, and
for themselves that Gov. Manly's reflections upon
see also whether the Register will venture to lay
what he did say before the public.
The Resolution passed by the Convention called
for tie publication f tie schok Speech. Did Cover
nor Manly garble it! And, if so, was he ashamed
Of the parts stricken out! Was it altered by the
Register If SO, Gov. Manly is surely to be con-
graduated but We forbear. Did caucus sit apon
it, and find it impoltic to publish the whole? Was
the caucus afraid that when Mr. Boyden got out of the
presence Of the $. RoAy C;ek," and should see in
print the violent attack on himself and the ctzena
Of Rowan. the " eagle" in him might become arous-
ed. and take TO clawing and picking! Did it fear
that Gen. Bynum might see the censures on him and
his fellowcitizens of Rutherford
Suffice it to say, that though This Speech was
written out and prepared with deliberation, and, as
the Governor said, tread, fear Of m;.constrseion'';
and although the Coaveaton called for the pablica-
