ur. GIbboney, The Democrat, and the
Whigs.


! The Democrat of yesterday has the
following paragraph, which we copy for
the purpose Of making some comments:
| The sincerity of our neighbor's sympathies
! for Mr. Gibboney might have been made some
what more apparent, had himself or his party
manifested the same interest in his election
when he was candidate, that they now do for
/ him. because he did not get the nomination this
year MIR. Gibboncy fully appreciates your de-
signs, and will evince it by giving his support TO
! the Democratic ticket. When he asks Tor sym
| pathy he will look in another quarter for It, ;"
Now we beg leave to say that the Ga
zette has offered no synlpathies to Mr..
Gibboney, and never intended to do so;
but on the contrary we have all along said,
and still say, that in the Legislature Mr..
G. was ultra enough for the most ultra To-
cofoco, and supported a number OF the
most violent partizan measures, no matter
how unjust to the whigs-yet with all these
recommendations TO party favor, he was
insultingly thrown aside, without explana-
tion, and as many good locofocos believe
,cith0m cause 1t is to this censure on him
and his conduct-for such it truly is-and
the triekery by which it was effected, that
we have drawn public attention, and we
shall continue TO do so until the wire
workers, who, under false prefences pro-
cured majority of delegates favorable to
John Ross, make known through their or
gan why Mr.. Gibboney was SO summarily
rejected from a nomination TO which, by
the usages of the party, he was clearly
entitled. Thus far, as we have heretofore
shown, the Democrat has had no response
TO the charges alleged against the unfair
ness of Ross nomination, but has had an
abundance of advice 10 the cheated TO
STICK TO THE PARTY, because it alleges its
candidates " are not men 1cho change their
politics as they ,could their stockings, but
firm, HONEST, reliable democrats, ever
ready to do their whole duty as men and
citizens, see yesterdays Democrat
which being interpreted into plain English,
means, we suppose, that Mr.. Gibboney
did not fill these acquisitions and that John
Ross did Or, if it don't mean that, ,chy
,0as the former NOT re,sominated2 Why
was not the same courtesy extended to
him that there was to Hugh Mckee and
every other locofoco member within our
recollection except Major Wilson, who was
made TO walk the plank under the one
term plea If the Democrat can explain
this matter it will much oblige US, aud
probably Mr.. Gibboney, as well as 4 num-
Der of the " democracy" who cannot un-
deEs.and all the ground and lofty tumbling,
(riVallng anything that will be performed
in Robinson & Eldred's or Welch's Cir
Gus practiced by their leaders within the
last seven or eight years.
As for Mr.. Gibboney approaching our
designs, asking for sympathy in another
quarter when he needs any, and giving" his
support to the democratic ticket" he can
DO as he pleases without ineurring our
censure or hattev. For aught we care,
he NAV lick the band that smotc him-re-
turn thanks for having dragged him into
public life, and then sent him back under
an implied censure-slip on collar Ia
belIcd Ross, Dull q Co., and help to place
in Office one arh0 don'rchmage his politics
rs he would his stockings, but firm,
HONEST, RELIABLE DEMOCRAT like
John Ross He can do all this, and we
have no fault to find. But having been
brought forward for denomination, and
swindled out of u second term by the po-
htical tricksters who have not even the
face TO deny the act, it is within the com
pass OF "our business" to hold it up TO
the people of this county, and instead of
going on a wild-goose chase in search of
the :. philosophers stone as recommend
ed by the Democrat, we shall keep throw
ing stones at more tangible matters at least
once 4 week from now until the October
election. In the meantime let those whom
the shoes fit wear them.
