in the difficulty between James lL
Davidson, Esq, the wing elector for
this district, and d, FL Berry, the
senior editor of the Fayetteville Oh
server, in regard to Mr.. Dards On S
ratification speech Of the 1st ] uly,
as subscribers to a certificate of the
correctness of the senid EDITORS
report Of said speech, Ne take o eca-
sion to make the following ST ate
ments: That we did undo Isl and
M. DscidSoa' remarks as .8Ir. Dfrry
quoted them; that Mr. Berry ih view
iof this fact, was not only WARRANTED
and justiiable in commenting on
the m in the way he did, but that it
was in our judgment his duty as an
edi tor to set this matter before the
IpuRlic-a duty that be as an editor
/ of b democratic paper owed 10 his
party, and that too without any pre-
l,yiops consultation with Mr. paid
SEA, thereby giving him an pppor-
tqIity to retract privately what he
N AZ have said publicly. For we cont
cfiye that he shoald be heltl ? ublicly
to an account for whatever He may
sly publicly
We venture upon our Judgment d
little further, and in this we believe
tina t all both whig and democrats that
k now anything about this mat ter will
agree with US, even though the tai
ented young Irish ciector Shout not,
that Sir. Dac.dsoa, if he had been
nisrePresented, Should have come
out as he was politely invited to do,
and said what his remarks Iwd Ire and
that ideas he intended to donyey,
what meaning he placed upolE those
remarks and what impressions he
wished to make by taem, 4 hereby
correcting those differences / bat he
d9nomiaates infamous nisrepr bsenta-
tons. Bat instead Of this, he comes
ont firsttina card of the 10th, and
upceremoniously gives the who e mat
ter the lie Then in a public speech
Of the 9th inst, he comes o4t and
RI yes most Guriously in ali ma hner of
10 w, degrading lenunciation$ (and
" wo uld say more degrading to him
self than any one else) upon Mr. Der
~, and not Only him but he includes
all others at all concerned in this mat.

Yet, after all this abusive harangue.tI
when the question Of dispute. was
about to be brought to L point on theI
night Of the l9th, he takes the posi-
ton that he includes those only inIl
his remarks that have said that heI
was the defender Of .ScNnf}, thereby
leaving out all, even Dir. Berry-for
he had SAID tiis, as We understand,
only By Inference. Then what did

And now we say, thatif it had not
been for the impression that has gone
