U.The Richmond Palladium of Jan.

10. uoeS great injustice 10 MI Elder, the
from Wayne. in reference
10 the State Printing. Ii the cause Of this
originates in an honest mistake, we ask
the Palladium. as a personal favor to rs,
70 exonerate Mr. Elder from the impufa-
ton which it makes against him. The
Elder voted for by four OF the Wing men,
bers, (who did rot feel disposed to be-
stow any measures OF grace or approba-
ton upon Mr. Dcfrccs. was not Mr.. Elder
the Representative from Wayne. but
person Of the same name who resides IN
thi, city. Mr. Elder Of Wayne never had
Il thought of being 4 candidate tor the con-
tract. We ask Mr.. Holloway, as a per-
sonal act Of gentlemanly courtesy towards
Us, that correction of this error may be
made through the columns OF the Palla-
dunn. Common candor demands il, in
our opinon and we cannot doub; it will
be done.'-[ State Sentinel
We did james Elder the justice in our
paper Of the PSI, to acknowledge the I'M
intentional error we had fallen into in re-
gard 70 him; and. on seeing tho above
oFcious article in the Sentinel we deem
cd it our duty TO administer a gentle re-
proof to the mcddling genus who prcsacs
over the editorial department OF that pa

the following words. to-wi.:

Ia the last Sentinel, Mr. Chapman thus

Here follows an extract from a letter
written by Mr.. Holloway, (whom Chap

ted for, for State printer that 'the Elder
voted for was the editor the Locomotive,
that Elder Of Wayne voted for Chapman,
