Election Thursday. LIST day Of August.
THE TRUTH SUPPRESSED
The Register of Wednesday last, publishes cou-
pie of little extracts from letters from Rockingham
and Stokes, in relation the discussions in those
Counties between Messrs. Reid and Manly and in
one Of these extracts it makes Gov. Manly talk only
about Col. Red's Oregon vote, while the other,
ssting of SIC Hnes the Fhg fact that Col.
Reid was IS annhated.'' 1t was cruel in the Regis
ter not to tell how the thing done But there is
one sentence in the letter from Wentworth which is
very significant, and which clearly conveys great
deal more than it bears upon its face. 1t is this:
"Upon the other topics of discussion, the Cover
nor's course and cie,os highly approved
Now what are those vicws''2 Did he not come
out unequivocally for the white basis! Did he not
o. advocate the destruction Of the present basis of
representation in both branches of the Legislature
Did he not in order obtain, if possible, the votes
of the people whom he was addressing, take such
ground as was calculated and designed to array the
West against the East! 30
Just below these little extracts, in the same COL
umn, the Register publishes the following extract:
"We earnestly advise our Wing friends to BE-
WARE of FALSE REPORTS, circulated by opponents
with view to distract us, and to inure our Candi-
date in certain sections. Rumors in any number and
of every character, preudcial to Gov. Manly pros
poets in the East, (where, it is known, he cannot 70
before the election. to contradict them in person)
have been in circulation here during the last week.
One of these rumors for instance, represents him
having taken very strong ground in the West in ia
vor of altering the present basis Of representation,
Qyn ~ horv@ l. Co. loI~ Hko
many of these sianderous reports have been sent
down here from Reid himself! We warn our
ENTHUSIASTICALLY Eastern friends-ro BE on
THEIR GUARD! Remember that one thing is already
resolved upon by our opponents :-that if LYING
can defeat Gov. Manly, he is to be beaten!!''
The Register alludes to zone of these rumors :"
in regard to Gov. Manly's position on the basis
question, but does he contradict the statement that
Gov. Manly had taken this ground. No such thing.
He speaks vaguely Of " slanderous reports ''-that
for the East; and he makes no denial as to the
Governors position in favor of the white basis
that was for the West.
In addition to this, the Register had received the
Greensborough Patriot, containing account of
the discussion at Salem, in which it is stated Gov
Manly denounced Col. Reds vote for distributing
the School money according 10 Federal population,
and took ground distinctly against the "gross in
justice" as he termed it, of the present basis Of
representation and this account in the Patriot, en-
bodying these startling facts, THE REGISTER DELHI
ERArELY SUPPRESSED AND WITHHELD FROM ITS
READERS.
What will the people Of the East say to such
conduct as this! Is it not proof conclusive to them
that Gov. Manly has taken ground against the COM
promises of the State Constitution Do they want
any further evidence of the fact than is furnished
by the course Of the Register on this subjectl We
ask them to get that paper of the 10th Instant and
read and decide for themselves. Out of its own
mouth is the Register convicted and condemned.
And what will the liberal and high-minded peo-
pie of the West think Of such gamet Do they
wish their interests subserved, and their peculiar
views advanced, by such tricks, such subterfuges,
and such Palpable perversions and suppressions of
the TRUTH Is Charles Manly one of their cham
pions! Let Rutherford County give the answer
DO not the people Of the West know that Gov.
Manly took ground, two years since, against their
favorite doctrine Of Equal Suffrage, and that he
now denies that he did any such thing! And, look
ing to this need they be told Of the fact that if
he were now in the East or in the middle, he
would deny that he ever advocated the white basis
The truth is. such demagogue and weathercock
as Charles Manly il, CANNOT BE TRUSTED BY ETH
ER OR ANY SECTION. He may pretend to be with
them. in order to advance his own selfish purpos-
es and secure his reelection but give him power
again, and he will BETRAY interest after inter.
est and principle after principle, to which he pro-
esses now to be attached. while he and his beloved
" Sodom-saving Clique will laugh in their sleeves
over the regrets and execrations Of the thousands
Of honest people they have deceived and gulled

Editors of this paper, in reply to ungenerous in
