A xy,.. fo,,, the Nrountains-nIorc Wing Un.nimity.
The following truthful and independent remarks,
we take from the Mountain Banner OF the Zoth june
The Banner is the organ of the Wings OF Rutherford
and the surrounding counties of that district whose
sentiments we feel certain it faithfully reflects.
There can be no manner of doubt that the nomina-
ton of Gov. MANLY is in opposition to the wishes
and feelings of large proportion of his own party
and was only brought about by his own pertnacious
adherence, and the dictation of the Sodom-saving
CLIQUE at Raleigh We would also call attention to
the remarks upon the sable" speech of the Cover
nor:
From the Rutherfordton Banner, (Whig,) 25th ult.
Governors Election.
We announced in our last number, the fact that
Gov MANLY had been nominated tor reelection
This result we had long anticipated. We have been
long convinced that the Clique which has for some
years past controlled the Wing party OF this State
and divided amongst its members the various Offices
of the State, were determined to place Gov MANLY
before the people again. because they regarded that
step as necessary to maintain their ascendency. If
thew had Welded to the expressed wishes of the par
ty conveyed to them from all parts of the State
except the CENTRE in a manner not to be mistaken
if they had given way to their opportunities their
day of rule would have been over The government
of the Wing party would have passed to the people
the uoters, and the consequence of the Chque-the
RIGHTEOUS CLIQUE impiously said by his Excellency
in that extraordinary harangue read by him to the
Wing Convention, to be holy enough to have saved
the iocooco city of Sodo would have been gone for
ever. To preserve their power, Gov MANLY has a.
gain been forced upon the party: They have been
warned again and again. They have been told that
the Wings in the strong Wing districts would not
unite upon him. They have been entreated to give
us candidate upon whom could rally the PEG,
pie. They told us We are to say whom you
shall support. We will select the candidate from
nongst ourselves and if you do not support him,
will brand you as deserters-we will denounce you
mean selfish demagogues. We will bring the whole
force of the party against you and destroy your in
fuence-your usefulness. We know to what we are
exposing oursslves-we know that the dogs of the
party will be let loose upon that shall be hun
ted down. But we shall not be deferred from the
performance of our duty. We have fought and suf
fered in the Wing cause; we have, and shall contn
ue to support Wing principles, but cannot, WILL
NOT support Gov. MANLY. And we proud to say
that we believe section of country will sustain
1t is for their good aboring, it is for thei
rights we are contending If any truth has beer
clearly demonstrated, it is that who loves hi
country better than his party, can vote for Gov
MANLY.
And we do not intend to pursue middle course
We conceive it to be duty to exercise privil
eyes as freemen under the Constitution We dislike
| to vote for Democrat-one who differs from OF
questions of Federal policy. But with questions O
that kind the Governor of North Carolina has moth
ing to do. There questions of State Policy-lo
cal questions if you please upon which have tre(
Gov. MANLY. He cannot be trusted again. Self in
terest self respect forbids it. Every thing we holt
sacred calls upon to maintain ri gifts. ant
to break up the miserable faction, which setting ik
an incubus upon the Wing party, has been curs
to the whole State. Gov. MANLY is the representa-
tive, or the tool of that faction and to him pre-
fer DAVID S. REID, and we shall accordingly Civ
our humble support to the Hon. DAVID S. REID TO
the Office of Governor of North Carolina.
