have seen an attack made upon j. P. Jordan in
the E. City State Of the 18th June, which by i'm.
plica,ion attempts to deny the statement Of Mr..
Jordan in his letter to MIR. johnson.
feel it a duty owe Mr.. Jordan to state that I
have read the letter Of his to Johnson and en-
dorse every word Of that letter. and it is useless for
Pool to deny the facts stated. Mr. Pool in my pre-
sence declared time and again, Ne would not II elect
ed vote for any Western Measure requiring an ap-
preparation of public money, denounced Mr.. Jordan
in unmeasured terms Tor so doing, and held him up
to ridicule %aS the democratic candidate that
year for this county, and Mr. Pool inquired of NE
if endorsed Mr.. Jordan's votes heard al the
speeches made in this county but one end this was
Mr.. POOLS position in each one also distinctly
member that he nmated once that Mr.. Jordan voted
for these measures to obtain Judgsship Mr. Jor
dan replied to that that no man suspected another
until he himself had crossed That line which sepa-
| rates honesty from dishonesty, and I am sure Mr.
Pool never alluded to the subject again in my pres
I ence.
With regard to Mr.. Jordan's position in society,
shall add upon my own responsibility, that have
| known Mr.. Jordan from hoyhood; he had made his
way up to distinction, spite of opposition is above
suspicion and stands above the mean attempts of the
pups of party to injure him.
JOSIAH PERRY.
! Mr. Jordan called upon us to give orr recollec-
ton Of Pools course in the canvass with Jordan in
/ 1856
We cheerfnly certify that we heard Mr.. Pool and
Mr. Jordan upon several occasions. Ard We know
the burden of Mr.. POOLS speeches IVES to denouhce
Mr. Jordan for the Western Railroad votes, and for
Allegheny county. Mr.. Pool was very bitter and
pledged himself to vote against all such measures,
if elected.
We were both then Old Line Wings and voted
for Mr.. Pool then, and stood by him. and B. j. Shan
nonhouse further says that am still an Old Line
Wing.
B. j. SHANNONHOUSE,
JOS. F. NEWLY.
hereby certify that heard Pool and Jordan at
: Newbys Bridge in 1856 in the discussion as candi-
dates of their respective parties. and I know Mr..
Pool denounced Mr.. Jordan for his Western Rail-
road votes in unmeaSured terms; and declared he
would not have voted for any of the measures west
Mr.. JORDAN voted for and if elected pledged him
self to oppose every railroad west, with appro-
priation of public money, and any attempt to make
a new county.
H.H. SMALL.
j. P. Jordan having called upon me to state what
Mr. POOLS position was when he and Pool were the
candidates of their respe tive parties for seat in
the Senate for this State in 1856,
hereby certify that heard the discussion be-
tween Jordan and Pool at several places in the
county Of Perquimans and l distinctly recollect

railroad west. And know that upon each occasion
Mr. Pool declared himself opposed to the western
railroads, and denounced Mr.. Jordan in unmeasurcd
terms for his votes for Allegheny connty-the mil
lion Of dollars for the Central road, also by votes
for the Western Extension and Wilmington and
Rutherford road. The State in this instance merely
endorsing the bonds, and MIR. Pool went further
and said, if elected he would not vote for any oil
these measures with an appropriation, and would
not have voted for them if he had been in the Leg
slature when Mr. Jordan was.
Mr.. Jordan justified his votes, and said if he had
to vote over again, he would vote as he had done
