WAKE FOREST, July 18th, 1850.
Mr.. HOLDEN: l saw a letter published in the
relative the County Convention of the goth of May
last, in which he complains of having been msrep-
resented by certain Individuals his opinions at
the time of holding said Convention.
Mr.. Allen prefers charges against several individu-
ais, but in the indictment he leaves all of them,
but the dscontented Doctor;'' of course he al
ludes to me- Mr. Allen AYERS that he is not ambi-
tious of individual Notorety,'' yet he is too sens-
tive to permit his opinions to be misrepresented'
Now, as far as am concerned, this reminds me of
the tale of the fly upon the bulls horn, for if Mr.
Allen had not written letter, | should not have
known that there was such man in the county j;
hence it is evident that could misrepresent him.
If MIR. Allen is sensitive as he makes out he is,
it is strange that he waited nearly two months before
he wrote his letter upon the subject; he must have
been doing, or perhaps he lives away in the dark
corner, and has just heard Of my letter. I think it
would have been the most judicious course, not to
have written letter at this late hour, unless there
had been necessity for it; especially, as diff
culties seem now to be settled, and the candidates
have been in effect re-nominated by the Roesvlle
Convention.
Mr.. Allen says, che entered the Convention not
as Rail Road man, as has been charged by the dis
contented Doctor as an Anti-Rail Road man, but
as a Democrat"
Mr.. Allen was Rail Road man before he went
into the Convention, and he Rail Road man
after he came out, and presume he was Rail Road
man during the sitting of the Convention; for he
was in favor of Rail Road candidates.
do not where Mr.. A. has been msrepresent-
ed. prefer the same charge against him, and am
able to sustain 1t, that he has made against and
that is, that he has misrepresened me in every
MIR. A. comes forward and pretends that some per-
have done him injustice, and then turns his bat
terry against me. Why did he not give the others
broadside as he proceeded!
There Resolution introduced, and adopted
~ he COnyentlOn decl at far The
Central Rail Road is concerned, consider it set
tied question, and a matter about which the Demo-
Gratis of Wake ought not TO dispute and divide.'-
Mr.. Allen, +" sees no reason why any fair-mnded
man should have taken umbrage at it.'' l would
ask, who took offence at this Resolution Certainly
did not; voted for it. 1t was any further appro-
prations was aganst-a burnt child breads the fire.
Again: Mr.. Allen says, "never will be found
voting in harmony with Convention to approve its
action, and then 60 home, and write letter like the
Doctor, participate in recommending Resolutions
to an opposition Convention, with long denuncia-
tory Preamble, until l am forgetfnl of the course
marked out by common reason for a consistent man"
Very consistent indeed! MIR. Allen is very un-
fortunate in applying the above to me for | will in
form him, (and am surprized that he did not know
it before) that l did not vote in harmony with the
Convention all the Resolutions and that did
like MIR. A. says he would have done, proclaimed
i. in the face of the Conven,ion' by voting against
the motion made by Mr.. Busbee, declaring the nonl
nations unanimous.
voted against it, because / thought unless there
was some concession made, that the candidates would
not be elected. But have committed another sin,
s'with other gentlemen in the eyes Of Mr.. Allen.
If understand him, he charges me with par'icipat-
ing in opposition Convention &c., held at Roles
vile.
Mr.. A. is better at making charges, than he is at
giving the facts in the The truth is, did not
attend either of the Conventions at Rollesvile, nei
ther did participate in recommending any Resolu-
tions. knew nothing of what was done there, on
ly from report.
Ideem it unnecessary to write any more, as have
refued all the charges MrAllen has alleged against
me. But, will say, by way of conclusion, that
take pleasure in such atercations-Ih have written
in selfdefence. Come friend Allen, let go to
work, and elect our candidates, and Democratic
Governor w. HEARTSFlELD.
