THAT FARWELL BUSINESS.

a The last Asheyille News thus fixes, beyond d
f pute, the Farwell sin upon Lyman of the spe
Etator:
~ {" AN EAGLE CONE TO JUDGMENTi The prime
pal effort of the editor of the Spectator since his
event to this place, has been to create prejudice
kgainst Mr.. Clingman and to exculpate himself fro
the charge of free soilism, which has followed hi
from Wisconsin. His readers will doubt hav
observed how lamely he has succeeded in the first
these undertakings, and propose to sho,
Them how utterly impotent are all his excuses an
Epaliations of his connection with the abolition part
Eduring his editorial career in Wisconsin.
81 1t will be remembered by those who have GU
Estatement of Mr.. Hyman's defence this point an
Eof the Spectator itself, that that gentleman has sail
Ethat when he ascertalned that Farwell was cerlan
Ia reesoiler, he changed from positive TO negativ
Ksupporter of that pink of abolioniss. Let facts b.
Esubmtted to a candid world
On the 9th of October, 1851, Mr.. Farwell, VIII
chad been nominated for Governor by Convention
6of which Mr.. Hyman says he was protesting mem
&bel, wrote to Mr.. burke, free soil member of Con
8 gross, as follows:
MILWAUKEE, CITY, Oct. 9, 81.
Hon. Oh las. Durkec-Dear Sir: Yours of the 4tf
instant is received In answer to your inquiries il
regard to my views the subject of slavery reply
saVero, and to the increase of slave Stales lam asc
s in favor of the abolition of slavery, wherever i
9exsts under the exclusive jurisdiction of Congress
] and Of the repeal of the Fugitive Slave Law.
L. J. FARWELL.
On the 9th of October, before Farwell's letter
swritten Mr.. Hyman has his name as candidate fol-
Ex-Governor at the head of his columns thus:
For GOVERNOR:
LEONARD ]. FARWELL,
Of Dane County.
On the 29th of October, however, only sic days
E6sore the election, we find in copy of Mr. Hyman's
paper, which We have now before US, republication
Of this odous letter of MIR, Farwe's, with edi-
torial remarks in which, after expressing his dissent
some particulars from the views contained in the
sletler, he says:
60 In what we have said, we do not wish to be un-
sderstood as advising any Wing to vote against Mr..
sFarwell-we have only wished to state his position
Jas We understand its so our readers may be able TO-
sVote inelligently.
find short article headed d" Last Call, in which,
occurs the following instance Of MIR. Hvman's nega
tire support of aboli,ionist:
1--WE trust that Wing will feel SO indiffe rent
Jas to stay away from the polls. One vote very FREE
:quently decides the most important elections. Howl
will Wing feel If it should that for the
want of his vote the hig ticket is defeated. Them
let every wing rally. Let him vote himself and then:
sbe that his neighbor will go and do likewise.
Advising, six days before the election, every mani
ito go hmselfand vote for Farwell, and then be sure
that his neighbor q" will go and do likewise this
disciple of grammar considers giving abolitionst
negative support!
But the cream of all is to come yet. In this very
paper of the 29th October the last he issued be-
IIore the eecuon, In column SIDE by SIDE win tnes
abolition letter of FsrwelI, ind him endorsing tina
gentleman and his sentiments with style of typos
graphy and display of Eag les that establishment
can afford but poor imitation Of On the 9Th and the
22d o. October, when giving Farwell the abolition|
list merely positive support, he content TO dis i
play his at the head of his columns in the mod
lest manner above shown; but six days before theE
election, and in his last issue, when he giving
Farwell negative support, find his il largeI
type extending over two three columns, headed
10y large Eagle with the star and stripes in hs'
claws. The following is only faint imitation:
WING TICKET.
To the Polls! To the PONs!!
FoR GovERNoR,
LEON. ]. FARWELL,
Of Dane County.
This is the gentleman who FarVelIized in Wis
consin, returned to Edgecombe, and then went all
the way to Buncombe to write Thomas L. Cling
man out of Congress! The truth is, Mr.. Hyman
might as we'll yield the point and throw HIMSELF
the public mercy. The Wing submissionists will
forgive him, of course, whether he asks forgive
ness or not; and the people generally may, provi-
ded he calls for quarters it is his interest and
duty to do, at once. Observe how warm he is:
We say, for albany man who says
1--WE are, Freesoier, or an Abolitionst,
rs infamous LIAR and Sceundrel-a liar, becauseE
such statement is unmitigatingy false-a scoup-
dreI because the charge is made least maciousIy
If no, with knowledge of its fasity. Any mani
whe prefers such charge against is invited tol
put this in his pipe and smoke it,
Our contemporary of the News pronounces the
above funny and " saztpeterisA.' So do we
