! The first part of the article is de-
voted TO charges We have already
proved him guilty Of, and We pass it
over. We begin with the false po-
sition he has placed US in, in saying.
that we have said, he was trying to

with us, and that the reasons for that
contrp vcrsy must be personal, for

Fayetteville a nd Lincoln county
You did not assail tbem-you did

though you receive it three times
week, and in every column find the
Compromise spoken Of as the o.

be personal, be it so; and thereupon
makes it personal for the first time
himself, and then throws up his
hands, and walls his eyes, and ex-
