THAT FARWELL BUSINESS.

THAT FARWELL BUSINESS.
The last Asheville News thus fixes, beyond dis
pute, the Farwell sin upon Lyman of the Spectator
An EAGLE Come TO JUDGMENT! The princi
Pal effort of the editor of the Spectator since his ad
went to this place, has been to create prejudice
gainst Mr.. Clingman and to exculpate himself from
the charge of free soilism, which has followed hin
from Wisconsin. His readers will doubt hav
observed how lamely he has succeeded in the first
Ethese undertakings, and we propose now TO show
them how utterly impotent are all his excuses ant
palliaons of his connection with the abolition party
kduring his editorial career in Wisconsin.
1t will be remembered by those who have seen ou
statement of Mr.. Hyman's defence this point, and
by those who have access to the refreshing columns
of the Spectator itself, that that gentleman has said
that when he ascertained that Farwe was certainly
freesoiler, he changed from positive to negative
supporter of that pink of aboonists. Let facts be
submitted to candid world;
On the 9th of October, 1851, Mr.. Farwell, who
had been nominated for Governor by Convention
of which Mr.. Hyman says he was protesting mem.
Der, wrote to Mr.. burke, free soil member of Con.
gross, as follows:
MILWAUKEE CRY, Oct. Q, '5l.
Hon. Chas. Durkee-Dear Sir: Yours of the 4th
regard to my views the subject of slavery, reply
frankly that am utterly opposed to the extension OF
ssavero and the increase of slave SaIes. am also
1 in favor of the abolition of slavery. wherever il
sexiss under the exclusive jurisdiction of Congress,
and Of the repeal of the Fugitive Slave Law.
! Respectfully yours,
L. j. FARWELL.
On the 9th Of October, before Farwe's letter was
written, Mr.. Hyman has his name as candidate for
IGovernor al the head of his columns thus:
FoR GOVERNOR:
LEONARD J. FARWELL,
0f Dane Co,fnfu.
On the 29th of October, however, only sic days
before the election, dnd in copy of Mr.. Hyman's
paper. which we have now before u.s. republication
Fo this odious letter of MIR, Farwell's, with ed
toral remarks, in which, after expressing his dissent
lin some particulars from the views contained in the
letter, he says:
I" In what we have said, we do not wish to be un-
|derstood as advising any Wing to vote against Mr..
Farwell-we have only wished to state his position
as We understand il; our readers may be able TO-
vote intelligently."
in another part of this same delectable sheet, We
find short article headed :" Last Call, in which
occurs the following instance Of Mr. Hyman's negn-,
tire support of an abolitonist:
1--WE trust that no Wing will feel SO Indifferent
as to stay away from the pulls. One vote very fe-i
quenty decides the most important elections. How
will Wing feel it it should turn out that for the;
want of his vote the Whig ticket is defeated Then,
et every whig rally. Let him himself and them
be sure that his neghbor will 60 and do likewise"
Advising, six days before the election, every man
to 20 himself and vote for Farwe, and then be sure
that his neighbor " will 60 and do likewise, this
disciple of grammar considers giving an abolitionist
negative support!
But the cream of all is to come yet. In this very;
paper of the 29th October the last he issued be-
abolition letter of Farwel, ind him endorsing that
gentleman and his sentiments with style Of typo
graphy and display of Eagles that establishment
Jean afford but poor imitation Of On the 9Th and the
Pad o: October, when giving Farwe the abolition
merely positive support, he was content 10 dis
eplay his the head of his columns in the mod
lest manner above shown; but six days before the
{eection and in his last issue, when he was giving
EFarwell negative support, find his name in large
TYPE extending over two or three columns, headed
Fly large Eagle with the star and stripes in his
CLAWS. The following is only faint imitation:
WHIG TICKET.
To the Polls! TO the Pols!!
FoR GOVERNOR,
LEON. J. FARWELL,
Of Dane County.
This is the gentleman who Farwellized in Wis
sconsin, 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
ON 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
Rduty to do at once. Observe how warm he is:
"We now say, once for albany man who says
! we are, ever Freesoer, or an Abolitionst.
ifs Infamous Liar, and Scoundrel-a liar, because
such statement is unmitigatngly false-a scoon-
dreI because the charge is made al least maciousy,
He no, with knowledge of its falsity. Any man
whc prefers such charge against US is invited to
: put this in his pipe and smoke it,
Our cotemporary of the News pronounces the
! above funny" and saltpeterish." So do we.
