Finding that the " Union party Of my

Col. Davis, and the BaIti-
more Convention.

We regret % fad the following para
graph in the Whig, repeating the charge
which DIR. Lyle end Mr. Foote published
against Col. Davis
His ICol. Davis'1 declarations that be
would not support the nominees Of the Bal |
timore Convention, like unwelcome ghosts
are staring him in the face and frightening
from him the hope of future Advancement
There seems to be manifested by the wing
and union party, a strong determination to
break down the popularity OF Col. Davis
and there Is no hesitancy on their part, to
seize any possible means, no matter how false,
detestible and unfair. Col. Davis makes
the only answer to the charge preferred
against him by DR.. Lyle, viz. that he
would not support the nominees of the Bal.
tlmore Convention. that he can make. He
desires the truth ofthe accusation and brands
IL with ialsehood. What safety or protec-
ton is there for private personal character,
when a great party agree TO lie it into in.
fanny? 1t was this claiming together in
inlamy, that rescued the deciples of Murrell
from the vengeance of the law and arraigned
private and.honorable citizens, for the crimes
the bandits themselves had committed
Every body who knows Col. Davis, believes
him above stopping to falsehood--yet we
see a great party united against one man,
to fasten that odious and infamous curse up
on him. Why have not these charges
been made before? Why have Foote & co.
waited for eight months to roll over. aud
the particulars of a heated party discussion
to have faded from memory, to resurrect
this charge The speech of Col. Davis,
was not printed, aud his accusers rely only
upon their memory for the truth of the
charge. Are they less liable to err than
other people. Whence came the infallibili-
ty of Foote. Lyle. & co
To the reply Of Col. Davis, to this charge
we invite attention. II is his W language
from the address we promised. last week. to
publish in part:
when | went as delegate to the Demo-
+" cratic convention OF the 9Th of January
" last, my attention was called to an article
" copied into the Flag Of the Union con-
" tanning the assertion that at a public meet

Nor can he escape by his reference to
worthy gentlemen Of Noxubee county.
