the nomipalion Of Mr. vAR YoRBEd. Of

aud the triumph Of their successful ltital.
We went into convention with our favor.
ile, and went out without him, throughthe
treachery Of some Of our own Delegation
That NJ. BoRLAND was the candidate and
the choice Of the Republicans Of Fairfield
county, no reasonable man viii deny; that
he would have united more effectually and
6rnly the American and Republican eles
msnts 10 this county, is too palpably plaiR
to be doubted; but that be should be OPP
posed aud defeated Tor this ressou, is t3o
outrapods 70 be tolerated. We charge
boldly that Mr.. Boarland was opposed by
the Beatty and Shaw faction, for no other
reason thaE that he was the choice Of the
A nericans Of this county and had been
suggested by their organ. Mr.. Borland's
Integrity. ability. and Republcauisrn dare
not be questioned, though confess that,
1 with view to sell the interests Of Fairfield
county, they were. With this crime the
Republican party are not properly charg'
able, except so far as they have suffered
themselves to be led by men who would
sell, as they have sold. their dearest inter
ests for a moss Of pottage. There were
Republicsns from this county who were
men, aud who 10 their manhood; stood up
and protested against the Infamous course
Of Beatty and Shaw, but to no effect.
1t was charged that he had boen shg'
gested by an American paper, and that was
crime enough to ruin him forever in tbeiI
opinion. 1t would he well enough per
hap~, to explain TO the Republicans Of thi'
county, the cause Of all this. 1t wa'
known to these. worthless that the Americar
Gazette would heartily ard zealously sup
port Charley Borland if nominated; il wa
known that under his banner the hmeri
cans and Republicans would unite and g
forward to battle for the triumph ofprincipl'
over outrage and wrong, laying down Ihel
, arms only when the last foe hal been driy
en- from the field; it was known to then

friend on Garth, and with Just political in
tegrity enough to sell his party for dime

political influence forever, and wit 1t tn
patronage which buys and buffers hi
bread This it was, and this alone, ths
e prompted him to oppose Mr.. Borland, a

the branches Of the opposition. To say

attempt to widen the breech between tn
