We have been requested by Senator Jno W. Thomas
to state that he has been honorably acquitted by a
unanimous of the Senate of the charges preferred
against him.-HaIe[gh Register.
We do not know what the particular charges were
preferred against Mr. Thomas in the Senate, but we
know that public opinion does acqut him of bad
conduct in buying Northern claims against Southern
merchants while the original holders of these claims
are using their money to aid in destroying and subju
eating u.s. If the Senate of North Carolina does not
censure such conduct, the people may well despair of
receiving protection from their Legislators.
