Extra Banner, No. Q.

We have seen another Extra, from the
Howard County Banner, on the question as
10 whether Mr.. c. +. Jackson admitted his
defeat, in conversation, at Fayette. Mr..
Lorenzo d. Brown, it now appears heard
Mr.. Jackson make this admission, and states
the fact over his proper signature. He re-
ported it publicly in Foyette the day he
heard it, and the decgation coming TO the
ears Of DR.. Vaughn, he repeated it in this
city. Mr.. Layton S. Eddins, broiher-in-
law of Mr.. Jackson, addressed two of our
citizens, his letter and their reply, with
remarks of the editor of the Banner"
making the first Extra. If those certif-
cafes had stated, at The start, what Mr..
Sterne said in The end, that DIR. Vaughn on
ly stated the report as from anothcr,-if il
had not seemed 10 be the intention of the
parties 10 present DIR. Vaughn as the au-
thor of The report, and as an eavesdropper,
no notice would have been taken Of the Ex-
ira, which was really a very small affair."
an effort 10 divert public attention from the
real and substantial issues in the canvass,
10 mere by-pluy.
Mr.. Brown, without any application from
DR.. Vaughn, and after half OF our last edi-
ton had passed through the press, volunta-
ry visited this city for the purpose Of reliev-
ing him, by giving his own statement 10 the
public. 1t is plain and straightforward
HISTORICAL bears the aspect of s,ncer-
ity and truth. II cut the friends of Mr..
Jackson,-cut them in the raw,---and Capt.
Bouldin and DR.. Lowry, with the editor Of
the "Banner," came forward in No. 2. Mr..
Browns statement is before the public; he
is well known 10 large number of our ci-
tizens, and we never heard him charged
with falsehood, or unbecoming conduct, I'M
til the sinking cause Of Jackson made it
necessary TO delame him and discredit
his statements. He says he heard Mr..
Jackson admit his defeat in conversation
with DR.. Lowry and Capt. Bouldin. DR..
Lowry and Capt. Bouldin are also well
known, and above falsehood: they deny the
statement of Mr.. Brown. One or the
other party is evidently mistaken, and the
matter having settled down 10 point of
recollection or veracity, at this point, we
are not disposed to interpose. The Elitor
of the Banner" is willing to let the public
decide: So are we.
The people of the district are not inter-
ested to know the private opinion of Mr..
Jackson as TO the result Of election. That,
in all probability, will be soon enough known
for his good. But they are interested 10 learn
the truth in relation TO his turning and
twisting, in every part of the district, suit
ing his speech 10 his audience. Why have
we had no extra, clearing up the falsehood
charged upon him by the certificate of nine
respectable gentlemen of Brunswick, in our
last? That is n matter of substance
clearly and responsibility charged, directly
affecting the honor and integrity of Mr..
Jackson. But not breath is heard in res
ponse. The charge of falsehood is pock-
eted-the great crime of saying one thing at
Brunswick and Keytesvile, and directly the
reverse at this place and Fayettc, is nothing,
in the estimation of the Fayette clique, 10
clearing up his opinion of the result of the
election. The fact of delivering three
days speech at Jefferson,-devoted to per-
sonal abuse of Benton and his friends, and
the suppression of that speech,-to enable him
to honey-fugle the friends Of Benton in the
upper counties is all passed over, 10 find
time to expatiate on the proper adjustment
of Mr.. Browns panaloons. But this hum
bug pair Of Extras will avail nothing. The
whole is understood, and dismissed.
