How iSlt

The position of CALVIN GRAVES, Esq, of Caswell,
puzzles not little; and we think that that gen.
teman it to himself and to the democratic par
ty, to give some explanations. For the last few
weeks the whg papers of his district the 5th have
been using his name in opposition to the Hon. A.
w. VENABLE the regular democratic candidate in
that district; and as yet we have found no author
lied refusal from Mr.. GRAVES to allow his name so
to be used On the contrary, We find that the Hills
boro Recorder, fed, Of the 3d. asserts that it is
with Mr.. GRAVES consent. That paper says: ''We
have been informed by in whom we place i'm
plicit confidence that in recent conversation with
friend at Greensboro, Mr.. GRAVES said that he
would serve if elected Now. we have no notion
that Mr. GRAVES will be elected we think that
MIR. VENABLE triumph over any and all opposi-
ton. But if Mr.. GRAVES be democrat, why does
he allow his name to be used by the whig party OF
the district in opposition to of the democratic
party? IF he be really opposed to Mr. VENABLE
why does he not come out openly and above board
and ayow the grounds of his opposition ? If he be
not opposed TO Mr.. VENABLE, why does he not give
him an honest support, and disavow the which
the wings have made of his-Mr. GRAVES name
We not bitter partizan, but like things done
openly and fairly in the face of day and we dislike
anything that looks like secret coalitions or under
handed maneuvres.
