which took place between Mr.. Quinn and
myself. which has been the cause Of all this
excitement.
Mr.. Quinn interrogated me in regard to
Mr. Prices position on the temperance ques-
ton, stating at the same time that the whig
delegates from this Township, claimed that
he was the man that the temperance folks
wanted.
In answer | stated in substance that did
not believe that he was favorable 70 a pro-
hibitory law, and gave as my reasons, that
| have never known Mr.. Price to be associ-
ated with any temperance organization, that
/ he had never claimed to be temperance
man in the strict sense Of the term, and that
temperance men had never claimed him as
one of them. | further stated that within
/ the last two years had heard that he would
1 take dram when he saw fit to do so, but
! that he was not drunkard, that ] never
heard man call him a drunkard; that he
would not associate or drunk with the lower
class of drinkers. l further stated, that |
never saw him drink dram in my life, and
that until within the last two years | had
never heard OF Mr. Prices taking a dram,
on any occasion, and that had not been
in his company for the last twelve months,
more than once ortwice; that it was possible
he had come out in favor of temperance
within that time, although it was very i'm
probable.
further stated that, Mr.. Price was much
of gentleman that he WAS one of the most
accommodating and obiging men chat was
ever acquainted with in my life, ard that
he was an excellent neighbor and citlzea IN
every sense of the term.
also stated that he vas very popular
man, the most popular man that FreepOrt
could produce. ! also stated that were a
whig and not Maine Law man, that Mr..
| Price is the man that | would vote for i'll
preference to any man with whom | am ac-
quainted. 1t was reported here that | in my
conversation with Mr.. Quinn applied the
term perfect topper to Mr. Price, this | pos
lively denied when | first heard it and went
with all assurance TO Mr. Quinn 10 have 1t
corrected, but Mr.. Quinn contends that |
used the term, but not by any means IN the
sense which the term topper strictly conveys,
but in the sense only of an upper class
drinker, and that repeated 1t that Mr..
Price was not considered Il drunkard by
any person. so far as | knew. Ii did use
the term topper it was certainly inadvertently
used. Mr.. Quinn claims that l did not
mean to convey the idea that Mr.. Price was
man that would drink to excess or become
intoxicated. but that he would take diam
occasionally, and l defy any responsible
man to say that | ever called Rey ynodS X.
Price drunkard or used any unqualified
term that would convey that idea, and the
man that asserts that he heard me make the
charge contained in the Republican Of the
4lh instant. upon the character OF Reynolds
X. Price, | pronounce that man a foul,
unprincipled calumnator.
N. WRIGHT.
The above is correct account OF the con-
versation which took place petween N.
Wright and myself, in reference to Mr.
Price, and when | reported Mr. Wrighrs,
remarks in reference to Mr.. Price, gave
his remarks with his qualifications strictly,
to every man with whom | conyersed as
above stated. THOMAS QUINN.
was present and heard the foregoing
conversation between Mr.. Wright and Mr..
Quinn, and believe it is correctly reported
above. DAVID PALMER.
4 DANGEROUS CoUNTERFEIr. We saw
