Letter from Elder Burwell Temple In Relation
to Linn b. Sanders, Esq.
We publish below with pleasure letter from
Elder Burwe Temple, in which he requests Mr..
Linn B. Sanders not to use his name against the
regular Democratic candidates for the Legislature in
Johnston County. 1t seems that Mr.. Sanders want.
ed to get his political dsquisitions and datrbes into
the Primitive Baptist: but Elder Temple shut down
the gates upon him, and kept him of. That was
good. But we leave Elder Temple to speak for him
SELF with the additional remark that his course is
just what might have been expected from such
well.tried veteran Democrat he is:
To the Editors Of the NJ G. Standard:
GENTLEMEN II send you the following, hoping
that you will give it an insertion in your paper
understand Mr.. Linn B. Sanders, of Johnston
County, has taken occasion to mention my name in
a way to Justify him in his course as candidate in
the County of Johnston for a seat in the House Of
Commons of the next Legislature. He came to see
me, to get me to publ sh reply in the Primitive
Buptst to some remarks of the Editors Of the North
Carolina Standard against the position he had taken
! told him that could not publish it for him with.
out violating the rule Of my paper. told him it l
was issuing political paper would publish it for
him. told him was opposed to the extension of
our State Indebtedness; he said so am l." told
him that If was correctly informed he was in favor
OF distributing the public lands among the States,
favor of distribution Of the public lands among
the States had taken his position in favor Of d.
viCing :he surplus in the treasury, said to be thirty
mlionS rather than loan it out. said to him there
was no surplus money in the treasury. He said II
know thar, but took this position at the time when
it said there surplus in the treasury OF
the United States" After this learned not uhere
he stood, as he unfavorabe to dividing the pub.
lie lands among the States and opposed tn increasing
the State debt for internal Improvements for the
present. In this We agreed. as I believed it to be
wrong to keep up burden children that We
ourselves are unable 10 bear. Aud as already
under State direct taxation, to remove the proceeds
of the sales OF the public lands from the treasury Of
| the United States, and replace the same amount o.
| money thus taken from the treasury, would lay US
under United States direct taxation general, while
but few would be benefited thereby.
| hope Mr.. Sanders will not use my name with
view of bearing against the regularly nominated
candidates for the county Of Johnston for the mex
| Legislature. Ii there any Of them a little tine
| ,ured with State extravaganza, the people OF John
ston, as we'll as of every other county in the State
have left to them alternative. to Wit, that OF tn
right of instruction. 1t is the Democratic creed t
obey or resign; and some heretofore las learn
have promised .heir constituents to GO against fur
ther Safe indeptedress for Railroads, and whe
they got into the Legislature they went it for Raj
roads involving the State. think it high time 70
each county to use the right of instruction, lest the
may not be represented
