important matter. Let us have a full

most important election we have ever
yet had--as it is to settle the question,
whether conservative Constitutional
policy is TO govern US, as a people, or
whether the fanaticism of Abolition
ism is to rule the North ? An men

Editor Democrat -
The Wide man Of the Athens Mass
cnger, in tie issue of that paper of the l2th
of last month, charged me with saying that
Douglas and Holt wee Black Republicans,
and with denouncing their coarse in refer
ence 10 the war. The editor, in his last is-
sue, reiterates the charge, and dares me to
deny it, at the same time very modestly in
tindting that he can permit no communi-
cation from me te appear tn the columns Of
his paper, calling in question his rerGcity, or
the (allacy Of any position he may assume.
The object of his attack is apparent. 1t is
an effort to weaken the organization of the
Democratic party in this county by attack
ing the ticket. This charge has its preten.
ded origin in a conversation with the editor
in Athe ns, when Foster Lyle, Esq, of this
county, and VIM. Golden, ESQ OF Athens,
were present. 1 never bad any other con-
versation upon political subjects with the
editor.
In regard 10 the am.,lded declaration o
the editor in his paper Of the 26lh ult, in
which he charges me with using the samt
language towards Tod, the Fusion candidate
for Governor, have only to say that hi:
name was not mentioned by me in the con
versaton alluded 10. The entire statemen
is malicious, and lacks the beauty OF truth
By publishing this, together with the en-
closed statements of Mr.. Lyle and Mr.. Col
den, or SO much thereof as you mny see
proper, you will oblige
Your friend.

REV. u. CLAYPOOL,
Attention!
DE MO CIR A RS,

Attempts are being made bv the old
opponents of the Democratic Party, in
u new guise, to seduce Democrats
from their party allegiance. The Un.
ion and the Constitution having al.
ways been maintained by the Demo
cratic party as the basis Of its oigani.
zaticn, we can see no reason why any
Democrat should cease to act with it.
Our party has ever continued the
main stay Of the Government: Shall
it now give its adhesion to another,
which for the first time in its exist.
ence has but just found platform moi
unoonstitutional9
The Democratic party will contin.
ne to exist, the chief support Of the
Government, in peace and in war;
tue sheetanchor OF Constitutional Lib
erty, the defender OF the Union Of the
States, the light of Freedom upon
Which TIE dowmrodden millions OF
despotic Europe will gaze as the bea
con Of all their wishes--.their last hope
OF Liberty on earth. In view Of al
the interests Of the present, and tie
giories of the future, the Democracy
of tie country will do all they can
honorably do, to regain that suprem
acy which the great interests OF man
kind demand, and without which oul
present difficulties never can be per
mamently settled. A Democratic
victory in this State, on the Eighth O
October, would not be less auspicioud
to the cause Of the Union than the tri,
umph Of the Federal aims on the bat
tie field. We, therefore, hold those
Democrats who, from motives of am
bition Or factionsness, are seeking TO
divide and distract the Party, rs do
ing an injury to the country. -"

heard that would proceed 10 the Meth-

shsa reserved for this occasion.
The Jackson orator, with seven others, or.
rived al the door of the church, when, to
their great sstonisbment, they saw that their
expected followers were not on hand. So
Ihey remained on the steps of The church and
consulted together. The Jackson orator, 10

The next place they assembled, was at the
corner aroundt the upping-block at Clarks
Hotel; when the imported orator mounted
the block and began to villily the people
present, because lney would not turn Jut to
hear union speech. He blowed and struck
for half an hour when he subsided, and
there appeared to be mighty calm. S6ffice
it to say, that his entirs effort consisted ol
falsehoods and misrepresentation, charging
the Democratic organization as being ledby
such men as wore the scale and pock-mark
of Toyi:m. He then attempted to take
down j. J. Crittenden, and endeavored to
show that Senator Csiltendens Compromise
measures, as advocated, was the offspring oil
an unsound man. He then said he had chal.
lenged Msjur Bratton for discussion; but the
Major tucked his tail like spaniel dog, and
sneoked of. He next said; 1.-THE negro

An OlIler Mistake.

We are informed that some person
started the report, in Swan and Brown
townships, that Judge Murdoch was
running against us, a candidate fos
Representative. This is a mistake.
The Judge is an Independent candi-
date for Senator, in this District.

Athens Messenger and MIR. Dana

We call attention to the correction
of the Athens Messenger, in this
weeks Democrat. 1t appears that
Mr.. Daua has caught tie "Wilas"
man. This will be good news to our
people, who have had their curiosity
excited about him. Mr.. Lyle, who
gives his state ment, is a Republican
of Vinton county, but not so far gene
in abolitionism but what he can tell
the truth. Mr.. Lyle is a gentleman
Of principle, and will hear evidence
in truth il it hits friend or foe. The
evidence clearly sets Mr.. Dana right,
on tte point in dispute.
