We copy the following Gard from the last Ashe
vile s. News" formerly Fillmore paper, but now
out in manly terms against John Kerr and Scott, Sew
ards candidate:
"THE Pill WoN'r Go! By the following Card
from w. L. Tate, Esq, Assistant Elector fol
Burke County, it will be seen that he declines &c
lade out Scott soup in the present canvass! AS an
/ unfinching, hgh-toned, Southern Rights man, Mr.
Tate could have pursued no other course. He is a
gentleman of talents; and we have no doubt will GO
into the fight for Pierce, King, and the Constitution
al rights of the South with hearty good will. We
learn that DR.. John A. Dickson, of Burke, heretofore
acting with the Southern Wings. denounces the Scott
and Seward ticket. and will take the stump for Pierce
The spirit having left the of whggery, true
hearted Southern men in every direction forsak-
ing the rotten hulk of botionsm, and
Will "shout and sing for Pierce and King,
And make the very welkin ring"
But 10 the Gard Of Mr.. Tate
A CARD.
Mr.. EDITOR: At District Convention held at
Asheville the 1s of June last for the purpose of
appointing delegates to attend the Baltimore Wing
Convention and of selecting Eleclor for this Dis
rict &C., was appointed assistant EIector for
the County of Burke. The voice of the meeting
was unanimous for the nomination of Fillmore and
Graham, and / as delegate from this County, fear
ing the possibility of failure in securing this ticket,
took occasion 10 express my views as to the course
| should pursue in case Mr.. Fillmore or some other
Wing equally the South, should fail to get
the nomination. Mr.. Graham's nomination, for Vice
President, cannot object to, but as the manner in
which Gen. SCOTS name has been placed before the
people, and his position in regard the conpro-
mise measures cannot be approved of by me, feel
constrained decline accepting in the capacity of
EIector, and take this method of giving publicity to
my course. w. l.. TATE.

The same paper, speaking of the candidates for
the Legislature in Buncombe, says:
ION Tuesday last, the candidates addressed the
people: Messrs. w oodfn and Erwin for the Senate
Col. Lowry, Col. Fdgg, David Coleman, Esq, MIR.
Jack, Mr.. Goodlake, and Gen. Robert M. Henry for
the Commons. Gen. Henry, who has been promi-
and active Southern Rights Wing, declared that
he could not and avouH not support Gen. Scott This
announcement received by the crowd with lively
evidences of appreciation. We have doubt he will
be found battling for Pierce and King, against the
powers of abolition fanacism."
The same paper contains the following capital hit
in reply to the " Messenger -:
''The Messenger wants to know who furnished
the money pay for the extra copies of the News
printed couple of weeks since. Waving the
impertnence of the inquiry, and right to refuse its
qualification, we will tell him. They paid for
by Whigs-men who have done more for the party
than the Editor of the Messenger ever dd-men who
not only Wings, but true Republican Wings.

and King! Is the Messenger satisfied 20

King.
