For tie Western Democrat.

Mr. EDITOR: The few lines wrote two weeks ago
about consistency to have touched some one
in a place. there is article in the last Wing
signed Green Eye which seems intended reply.
not much ola writer being plain man, but
think be shown that there is something else about
the writer in the Wing that is verdant (green besides
his eye. He says that my article intended as an
appeal and rally to the support of of his my
candidates, party who, in days gone by had support
ed his present candidate temperance principles in the
municipal elections" No such thing made appeal
any But did say that many of those who had
made great deal of noise about 'dry tickets" hereto
fore acting against one OF the democratic nom-
and cooperating with persons they had denoun
ced anti-temperance men. made appeal to them
because l knew they had not consistency enough to
conceal their hypocrisy. Of course, Mr. Editor, do
not intend this for all temperance men, but mean 1t
for Green Eye" and all other temperance croakers who
time abused set of men and afterwards turned
round and acted with them
'Green Eye" wants to know where 'Blue Eye stood
in the municipal elections 81 stood for Hutchison,
and maintained my consistency by standing for him
in the late contest. But how "stood" 'Grecn Eye
where does he stand now? He ''stood" for Hutchinson
in the municipal elections Though was hypocrtcal
standing and denounced those with whom he now acts
'whskey democrats, 'rum-suckers" &c, but where
is he now? why hand-n hand with the very he de-
nounced. "Blue Eye never abused those men who OPP
posed Huchison in the municipal elections, but Green
Eye and his few followers did, and it is garng incon
sistency for them about and join those they
formerly condemned. Why, SO bitterly the demo-
cratic party of Charlotte denounced the quor par
ty, that nearly every and child in the place al
most shuddered at the name OF democrat. But they
and all others how the matter stands, and
one-eyed man see "Greeu Eyes Inconsistency.
But that Grecn Eye" man has something to say about
"Junto' meaning, probably, clique. 1t is not my
business at this time to undertake the defence of those
who supported the democratic nominees but will say
if there is any clique in Charlotte Green Eye" is a
member of it, None of the friends of the convention
candidates constitute clique "Junto" either, and
may be the only clique that existed is composed
of "Green Eye who hopes make something for him
self or his friends hereafter Those democrats who sup
ported the nominees have always stood by the regular
candidates of the democratic party if consider that
cliqueing you may do "Green Eye" may wrhe
and twist, and publish his illusions against the demo-
cratic party in the n C. Whig but Blue Eye is still
ready show his Inconsistency. Who cares if the
'galled jade winces."
am, very respectfully. good-naturedly and conss-
tentlv and constantly yours, BLUE EYE.
P. S.-Whenever Jess Holmes, the extinguisher of
people with idea along, let me know have
job for him.
n B.-Tell screen Eye to wash in andyonum--
it good for the place that my little consistency
piece touched. Is. 4.
