JEFFERSON, Ashe. July 10, 1850.
sThe candidates were here on Monday, but owing
to the indispostion of Col. Reid. he prevented
from addressing the large audience in attendance.
Manly made speech abounding in much wild and
extravagant defamation. Many facts distorted
and misrepresented, and much Of the denagogue cx'
hibited.
His speech was opened by pleading the precedent
heretofore established of rececting the Governor a.
ter the first term. What point there was in the az
gnment, he certainly failed to show. Much reliance
was next tortured, and his remarks here upon that
subject should be known in every section OF The
State. He charged Col. Reid with ever being the
firm and devoted friend of the middle and Eastern
portion of the State, at the expense of the " es.
He charged him with being guilty Of gross violation
Of Legislative pledges, in appor,ioning the Literary
Fund according to federal, instead of the white basis
of representation. We think here, that His Excel.
lency is denouncing principle in the West, ,rh'eA
