The western Democrat. [volume] (Charlotte, N.C.) 1852-1870, 1859-07-26

GO AWAY HEAR THE NEws'--We
snd in the Wadesboro Argus what purports to be
an extract from letter to the editor, making state
erts about the sO-caled disunion movement which
! said to have taken place in Charlotte, which state
en are generally supposed about here to be entirely
fIse We only notice them because we want to give
bir author chance to sustain them, which he ought
f, do over his proper name if he is able The wri-
fer spcaking of the disunion movement, says:
pt ,be truth is it is only intended feel the pulse
If the community see how far it could venture, and
,Lo vhoIe matter exclusively Democratic. The mo-
~ in !; were of high position in the party,
and some of them open diSunlonlsts.'
We don't believe a word of the latter part of the
obove paragraph that I" the whole matter is cxclu-
iyeIr Democratic and the movers democrats ofhigh
,o.i,ion.r If it is true, and the writer knows
much about he preends to know he ought to fur
nsh the names the participatOrs-why keep the mat
fer secret? If there was such a movement, why not
let the names of gentlemen engaged in it be KNOWN
srery one of they afraid be known If the
person who figures in the Argus make good his as
scrons we offer him the of columns for that
purpose. The first part of the above quotation probably
Is correct everybody about here that we have heard
sneak about it, believes that the whole affair orr
guaed merely for the purpose of endeavOrng to create
= little nOtoriety. We do believe that any meeting
Of the kind held-we do not know single in
dviIual who engaged in it. The first that we
knew it seeing what purpOrted to be the pro-
crcdngs copied into of exchanges abroad We
looked upon it, as we believe most people did, all
humbuggcry very poor joke, and in very bad taste.
But if there such meeting and such action in
timatc,l and the were democrats of high posi-
ton in the party and of them open disunionsts,
why not publish names, that the public may judge
whether not they democrats of high position
The writer in the Argus will be considered guilty of
an intention deceive unless he backs up his state
meus with facts and he ought to do over his own
signature Then the public could see how the matter
stood. We repeat, that we offer him the use of our
columns for that purpose. That's fair. Let plain
statement be made giving the names of the particPa-
tors where the meeting held, and if those cannon
were really fired in honor of disunion resolutions We
may then have more to say on the subject.
The correspondent of the Argus also says that Mr.
Yancey. who made a dsunion speech here, intro
duced by VIM R. Myers Esq and treated to refresh
ments by democratic liberaly." So far the treat
ment Mr. Y. received here is concerned, nc
improperly in it, it is certainly no harm for demo
Gratis to entertain strangers matter what their poll
tics are. But we know that Mr. Myers, who is good
democrat does not approve of Mr. YanceyS speech and
his fanatical doctrines. The introduction of Mr. Y by
Mr. Myers entirely accidental. n crowd gathered
before the Hotel and called for Mr. lancey-Mr Myer:
happened be sitting in the Hotel and when the cal
made he walked out on the pavement, and being
acquainted with Mr. Y. and no one coming forward tt
introduce him. he did announce his name to the crowd
Mr. Myers did know before that time that spcecl
was expected and he afterwards expressed the fear tina
he had unintentOnay interterred with some ones ar
rangement We say positively that the part Mr. Myer
acted in the affair altogether accidental, and tina
he does endorse Mr. Yauccys speech and knew moth
ing about it beforehand. We further say that nehe
the democratic party any of its prominent member
here approve or endorse Mr. Yancey's course or an.
dsunOn movement. Ii any one can offer proof to tn
contrary let it be done.
We care very little about the sO-called disuniO
movement or the Yancey affair either. But thnl
it right that the public should know the truth aoou
the matter.
