THE EXTRA BANNER.
ditor of the Glasgow "TimeS -

Editor Of the Glasgow Times -
DEAR Sin: have seen this evening,
posted up about town, an Extra Banner, the
contents of which concern me personally.
After warning to the faithful TO be on alert
for false statements, and an appeal 10 the Ben
ton men, after the fashion of Oily Cannon
or Jeremy Diddler, to come up to the support
of c. F. jackson, the editor introduces a
correspondence between Layton S. Eddins
and Messrs. J. s. Thomson and ]. Y.
Stern, TO prove had said that Claiborne
Fox Jackson chad, in private CONVEX
sation with DR.. Lowry and Owen Rawlins,
admitted that he would be defeated in the
impending election for Congress in the
Third Congressional District" To this the
gentlemen addressed respond - THAT DR..
l. P. Vaughn did state publicly, on the
streets in Glasgow that G. f. Jackson had
admitted in confidential conversation with
DIR. Lowry and Owen Rawlins that he
would be defeated" SC. sc. To which
communication, MIR. James. S. Thomson,
in .Nota Bone, on his own responsibility,
attaches the following: CDR. Vaughn
further states that the information was OBJ
tanned through the means of eavesdropping.
never deny what l have said, and had
JacIson's brother-in-law, L. S. Eddins,
called on me, mine should have been one of
the certificates to have filled out the dimin-
utivc proportions of their Extra. But he
and his correspondents were aware that all
of what had said would not, perhaps, an.
swer their designs SO well; hence it is that
they make me stand father to report which
| have always spoken of as such, and put
words into my mouth which l never uttered
, and which they kno,c l never did.
Their design was not that should be al
lowed to place myself in the position l &C
tually occupied. They wished to make cap
? ital out of any thing they could lay hands
upon to enable G. F. Jackson TO keep his
head above water in this canvass, and this is
their last trump. l care not dose of Sap
pington's pills whether DR.. Lowry or
Owen Rawlins ever saw Claib Jackson
never heard q conversation between them,
and never said l had. Other gentlemen
t have heard the same report heard, and
have said as much, and the matter of sur
prise TO me is why have been selected tc
figure in this canvass? am at loss &c
know unless it be from the fact that they
1 are aware, as they say, that I am known tc
t be ga Jealous, ardent, devoted Whig," and
on that account am thought worthy oil
Q sharing some of the inAictions-some of the
n notoriety, not to say oblOquy and disgrace
e which is being piled up upon Major Jack
/. son in this race with the "little third rate
e lawyer" But, sir, while l acknowledge the
compliment thus bestowed, 1 deny the right
, of Layton Eddins, J. S. Thomson, John Y.
Sterne, and Leland Wright to bring me forth
I as the scape goat to bear any portion of their
! sins or those of their immaculate candidate.
r They must stand the storm without attempt
= ing TO seek shelter behind me.
Belows attached the certificate of one Of
Eddins' correspondents. Had not the other
$ left the State before the appearance of that
= Ertra- ordinary edition of the Banner, his
r certificate should have appeared along with
4 it, cheek by jowl. l shall take the liberty of
referring to what you have to say upon this
0 subject which will answer equally weH.-
Mr.. Thomson says that further state ''that
4 the information was obtained through means
of eavesdropping." This is not so;-they
rere words used by Mr.. Thomson himself
as you Mr.. Editor, we'll know.
4 We heard a conversation between DR..
+ Vaughn and Mr.. Thomson, in which Dr.
Vaughn stated he had been "told that Jack
son was overheard to admit that he was de-
feated'" Mr.. Thomson replied, in sub
stance, 'that information was obtained by
4 eayesdropping; "-EDIroR TIMEs.l
= CERTIFICATE.
hereby certify'that DR.. I. p. Vaughn
never did, in my presence, say that he ever
heard the conversation said to have taken
place between Major Jackson and Messrs.
Lowry and Rawlins; but, on the contrary,
always spoke of it as having been told him
f by third party. ]. Y. STERNE.

Ileave it to the public to decide whether
those gentlemen have been Fory enough to
fasten the charge upon me they set out to
do, or whether they have not gotten their
own tails caught in the trap they had set
for another. L. S. (Large Sappy) Eddins
=. don't understand the game he has under
taken, Respectfully.
