The Hillsborough recorder. [volume] (Hillsborough, N.C.) 1820-1879, 1859-01-26

had been outraged by false and slanderous
reports in the Standard. He denounced the
publication in the Standard OF the 18th OF
January, as foul and false.
Mr.. Cowper said that paper was falsely
representing him as being reflected upon by
Mr.. Houston, when that Senator, Mr.. Hous-
ton, had volunteered to say before the SEN
ate that he did not mean to reflect upon him.
He denounced the author of the report as
false man, void of truth.
Mr.. Miller said, for twenty years he had
been member of the Legislature Of North
Carolina. He had not been led by Mr.. Tur-
ner on Saturday last. No man led him, and
no man could drive him. He endeavored
to keep two bad men, Simpson and Cook,
from communicating Judicial Office. He
would do it again, and again, and he de-
nounced any man, who would question either
the purity of his motive, or manner of his
behaviour, on Saturday last. He then de-
nounced the Standard specially for lying.
Mr.. Turner reading from the Stand
ard" From the first he (Mr. IT, exhibited
a factous spirit he interrupted the Senate;
that he reflected on the House of Commons,
by assuming and declaring that they had
appointed persons as Justices who were per-
jurers and fofgers; that he reflected on the
Senate, and Senators--that he admitted he
was governed to some extent by political
feeling-that he used language on the occa-
sion unbeconiing Senator and the Senate"
Now, said Mr.. Turner, | call on every
Senator here to give the lie to Holden, by
saying that SO far from using vulgar language
or language unbecomng the Senate, | did
not use even coarse expression during the
whole night or time alluded TO. If | did, let
any Senator speak, for shall publish it to
the country that they say, by their silence, as
every Senator will with bis tongue, that
used not even one coarse expression. | call
on every Senator to say if Holden does not
lie when he says, reflected on the House Of
Commons, and on Senators, and the Senate.
Ii did, let Senators say when, where, and
how. they do not, will say. prove BY
them Holden lied upon me in making this
statement; ON TIE other hand, call them to
witness when | was yulgarly assaied, il !
did not reply as became a Senator without
even one coarse expression.
call on every Senator to give the lie to
Holden when he says admitted was gov
erned by political feelings in my opposition
to the appointment Of magistrates. How
could | be actuated BY party feeling. when !
refused for my own county to recommend
Gov. Graham, Gov. Swain, or any body else.
So far from admitting such feeling prompted
me, did not avow to the contrary? Says
Holden, lexcited the disgust, even Of some
OF my political friends. shall say proved
that 10 be lie, for here they sit around me !;
il itbe SO let them speak or forever hold their
peace.
Holden, says the reporter in the Standard,
is substantially correct and true. I'll prove
and have proved that 10 be not false, but
lie, and proved il BY you Mr.. Speaker.
You are reported as having prevented more
than words between Senators, on "Wednesday
last. You stated you did no such thing.
proved on Wednesday last. by Senator
from Person and the Senator from BERTHE,
that that report put words in their mouths
which they did not utter. ! proved by four
other Senators, that the report which Holden
says is true. Is false.
Holden "does not know whether at
tempted TO influence the voters Of Orange
with whiskey and barbacues, nor does he
care" No, but he published that did. lie
had better inquired before he was guilty Of
the libel, which be published, that what he
nows calls the honest law abiding citizens Of
Orange, had sold their votes for whiskey
and barbacues.
But two Of my constituents sat at my table
or ate Of my bread during the canvass; there
is not one Of them who is not as well raised
and as FAR from being bought as Holden him
self. That upon the hastings they invited
me to a glass with them, and invited them
in return, ! shall neither attempt to palate
nor deny.
Mr.. Bledsoe replied that by his silence
he did not mean that MIR. Turner should
make statement that he had assented TO
his proposition. The reporter aud Holden,
he presumed. would take care Of themselves
lone or two passages between Mr.. Is. aud
Mr.. T., in which Mr.. Bledsoe said he did
not approve Of Mr.. Turner's course, but he
never meant TO impeach his integrity.
Mr.. Turner thanked him for his lecture
on manners--he could not receive one from
him, after the Senator from Union had stated
the character Of Simpson. That Senator
called Simpson d gentleman, and said there
was no proof against him TO satisfy his mind.
II Simpson was . gentleman, he would like
TO know that Senator's idea of one. lie
could tell the Senator that his behaviour on
Saturday night was not courteous either to
the Senator from Nash or the Senator from
Union. They did not want his two gentle
men, Cook and simpson, as magistrates, and
II was ugly manners in him 10 force them
upon these two gentlemen and their consti
tuents.
