Not True.

An article from the Iredell Express has gone the
rounds of the Know Nothing opposition press our
contemporary of the Wilmington Herald included, which
is not founded on fact We do dot charge any wlltu
Misrepresentation of Judge Ellis upon the papers copy
ing the article but are authorized to state that its main
assertion is not true
Tn the article referred to- it is asserted that Judge
Ellis declared in Rowan county, in 846, that he wish
ed he had lungs of iron and throat of steel that he
might proclaim to the world the evils OF internal I'M
provement."
This assertion Judge Ellis pronounces utterly false
He did so few days since in Surry county, on the
stump, when Mr. McRae mentioned it there. 1t is not
true in any FORM shape or manner Judge Ellis position
is the same now it has been for yearsthe same now
in the mountains that it when he here in the
East-wil be the same when he is Governor that it is
now that he is simply candidate 1t is not changed
to meet an emergency, TO awake popular cutlery, to
suit particular locality.
