Semi-weekly standard. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1853-18??, 1855-06-16
For the Standard.

MEssRs EDITORS Il had no idea of troubling you
with another communication relative to the NUM-
cipa election in the village of Nashville. But as
there is very bitter written for the Regis
ter over the signature of one Robt L. Larrmorc,
l consider an answer necessary III Justification OF
myself And was, indeed, surprised at the pre-
sumption of Mr.. Larrimore in writing his second
piece, unless he had some grounds, or some truths
on which to base his assertion. But it is an old
saying, "that one lie needs good many more to
cloak it,
Mr. Larri1nore acknowledges himself the author
of the report published in the Baltimore Clipper,
and attempts defend himself against the statement
| made, and against truth; but what does he say in
defence of himself? In his report to the Clipper he
saws: "The K. Ms. carried the day by oyer
whelmng majority We will in what the
majority consisted; srs, simply this Out of the
four elected, there was one K. N; he was elected
by one vote, and 0oted for himself! Wonderful
victory! Oh what triumph! Carried the day
by an overwhelming majority" one elected out of
four and he voted for himself. l would publish
more such victories-they tell too far from home
But Mr.. Larrimore says, I" that he admits all who
ran on the ticket were not K. Ms, they
termed that is not the point" suppose, then, in
eectng one out of four, and publishing to the world
that it was K. N. victory, is the point? But hon
est politicians do not like such points that they
want the facts. He also says that wherever there
is majority victory be derived therefrom."-
That admit and also admit that the anti K Ms.
had the majority, and elected majority of the COM
missioners Did Mr.. L. suppose there is any person
in the world fool enough to believe that the K. Ms.
ever had majority and did not use it on every
casion? The idea is preposterous as for Jupiter
to lay aside his thunderbolts and dance polka with
the MUSES..
But he saws the Know Nothings could then, and
can now elect their ticket by five majority; but
there were several whose citizenship would not al
low them vote. admit there were some minors,
who call themselves K. Ms, they would not let
vote; and perhaps one two who had not been
residents Of the town long enough to vote. And
there were also two or three anti-K. MS. who had
| aff hof tour l0r1Oo nnOh tn
And emphatcay deny that the K. Ms. have an
equal number of votes, by several, IN the village
and if we count boys, we can surely double them;-
But admitting they could, and can do 1t now that
is not the question Did they do it? Did that cleo
ton justify Mr.. Larrimore in making the report he
did for the Clipper? Does it satisfy the world that
! Mr.. l.. has not published falsehood? Let that
conscience which he says condemned MN LOT VIII
ting the piece he did for the Register answer him
as for the world his article carries falsehood on
its face.
AS regards DIR. Vim. F. Drake, the mayor elect 1
am instructed by him, TO say that ne is opposed TO
Know Nothngisln that he believes the party orig
mated among the abolitionists And further, that
he believes the South has been indebted to the Dem,
ocratic party for several years. And amprepared
at any time to prove IT. by the Doctor nlnsen, anu
others. And now hurl the lie back in the face Of
the presumptous writer of the article for the Regis
ter, Larl imore,) and challenge him to deny the as
sertion.
He also denies there being any Council at Langy s
If he will enquire of some of the gentlemanly
members of the K. n. party, they will tell him tina
there have been limitations in Langly district Ane
if he will enquire further, he will lind it was current
ly reported when wrote to the Standard, that the
Council had broken up.
Hesays " I am driven to use this very disagreed
BILE language; but when a man as innocent as an
in the affair, DC " He is very innocent indeed
published false report in the Clipper and the trutl
3 was told on him he could not meet it, and thel
cries out persecution" He further states, Their
has been no resignation in the town Of Nashville.
