We learn from gentleman from the same place
at which j. Dixon Roman and Col w. Is. Clarke
reside that the former has intimated his intention
Of canvassing the State in favor of the election Of
the latter. Col Clarke, he informs US, had stated
that if Roman received the nomination., he would
speak for him in every county. Such is the friendly
relation between these noble Wings. We shall,
then, not only hear candidate, Col. Clarke, but
J. Dixon Roman also on the stump.
We have heard the same fact ourselves, and from
what we know of Mr. Roman, sure it was cor
rect. The following remarks and correspondence,
which we copy from the Hagerstown Torch Light
of yesterday, shows that it is correct
"THE RIGHT Wing FEELING.--Having learned,
accidentally, that correspondence had passed be-
tween the Hon. J. Dixon Roman and Mai. VIM. b.
Clarke, the tenor and substance of which fully
tanned the representations which have made in
reference to the harmonious feeling which exists
between the friends of these gentlemen, we have
asked the liberty OF making it public through our
columns.
.'At urgent solicitation the letters have been
furnished us; and we publish them with pride, in
order that our friends at distance may feel
sured, from facts beyond mere say-so, that not
withstandng our. opponents may endeayour to
which become good and true Wings are cherished
between Mr.. Roman and Mr.. Clarke, yet that they
themselves neither know, nor entertain any such
feelings.
