To THE PUBLc-The undersigned consider it
due TO the voters of the people generally in this
district to inform them that Mr. Jere Clemens,
who is now canvassing this district in favor of sub
mission, Is charged with obtaining his election to
the United States Senate by compromising his
principles, and being then Democrat, in order to
induce the Wings to support him, he pledged him
self secretly TO them, aoriting to sustain Gen
Taylor's adm; Illustration. We challenge Mr. Glenn
ems to remove that obligation OF secrecy from Can't
Abercrombie, jeff Buford Paul Mccall, and Mr..
Davis Of Limestone, and other Wings of the eau
Gus at Montgomery, SO that they may give the
public all the facts fhe refuses to do, we shall
hold him guilty of the charge. When public
speakers leave their section of country, at
crisis ike the present, with view to operate on
the public mind amongst us, We hold that they
should come with clear hands and pure hearts
The Southern people are at present looking with
jealous anxiety to the conduct of their public men;
is it not, therefore, duty to inform fellow
cltlzens OF such outrages the present, and chal
lenge an investigation. We are also aware that

deem it proper to state what have written.
