MEssRs. HOLDEN & WILSON: I had placed In my
hands, few days ago, by friend, the last issue Of
the Raleigh Register, containing communication
under the caption, Chatham County, county
Courts, and Turner Bynum."
Messrs. Editors, / propose, by your Kindness to
examine little into the merits and object of this
communication. The writer, Aminadab, claims to
have been fully convinced, from the earliest days
of matured observation, of necessity for the change
system altogether or else have judges appointed 20
administer justice unbiased by party prejudices"
How far back these days of maturcd observation
date, we are left to imagine would suppose they
of recent date. for it would have required more
than an ordinary encasement OF bone and muscle to
have kept such sentiments and convictions smother.
ed in the honest heart, whilst injustice dishonesty,
and maladminstration were practiced by our County
Courts. have no doubt that the earnest appeal,
the powerful conviction, the sound logic OF this
young disciple of Blackstone, this embryo politician
will command the respect, if not the attention Of the
of justice terribly perverted" I would most
respectfully ask Amnadab where the law is to be
found compelling man to commence suit in the
County Court this depraved tribunal rather than the
Superior Court?
Aminadab charges the Magistrates of the County
with being mere party attachments, capable of be-
ing swayed from what they kn0so to be their duty,
by political wire workers. Such grave charge
against such respectable portion of our citizens
and many of them are men of morality and stand
ing in society," will require stronger evidence than
the honest conviction of Aminadab Gf he could be
convicted of honestly to establish the fact
l am, for one unwilling to Stigmatlze our Justices
of the Peace as lawless, dishonest and worse than
ALL perured This radical reformer is not salts
fed with his black guard denunciations of the Mag
strates Of the county, but attacks the special Court
He chooses one from amongst them, Turner By nun,
on. And why: ask, this singing out Squire By
mum for the onslaught? He is charged with being
incompetent to act as Chairman of the Court, much
less to represent the intelligent citizens of Chatham
in the next Legislature.
Why did not Amnadab tell the people of the
gang inconsistencies of his past legislative action
But it is not for any of these that Bynum
is attacked through the public prints. Aminadab
goes on to give the reason because he is candi-
date for election, and the first choice of the
Democratic party" will not doubt the honesty
of this confession. This scrbbler of the opposition
party is remarkably consistent is he not? Attacks
one, when others are concerned, with sly inundo
and bold accusation.
The opposition party has come out at last, it has
unfarled its banner to the breeze; upon this
which is somewhat worn by past service do not
recognise the motto, "Americans must rule Ameri-
death to the hit against foreigners and catholics
which characterized it in eighteen and fifty six,
1850 The motto that now stands out in bold
relief upon this flag is: Wings, Wings. Sir, I ask
the standard bearer what cleansing process, what
regeneratng influence has been brought to bear upon
this party that was two years ago proclaimed by
you to be base and corrupt, dead and buried?
Why this jumping from pila, TO post? Why
this incessant hollow of new wolff The truth is
there those to be found who hate the Democratic
party, not its principles, but its bad that
they are willing to help any body fight that will war
against a name.
1t may we'll be said of some's faith, that
Faith, fanatic faith, once welded fast,
To some dear falsehood hugs it to the last.
The opposition ticket stands thus For the Senate,
Elisha Straughn, of the special Court, who was
entirely forgotten by Aminadab
For the Commons, Rev. VIM. p Taylor, T. R.
Farrar and R. n Green.
This Rev. Divine has been duly constituted by his
church. This DEPRESSION Of ministers from their
secrated work is era in Southern politics. 1t
has well been said by wit that it would be a
mighty little preacher that the constitution would
not prohibit from taking seat in its assembly"
I am obliged for your patience and kindness.
Yours truly,
SAXAPAHAW.
Chatham County, June 2sth, 1858.
