charge that towards James " Paxton.
E. H Caldwell, aud Ephraim B Hall, the
Convention Commissioners, he made pre-
fences which he deliberately falsi6ed after
wards, he makes no answer.
To all these charges he answers not one
word, aad be dare not.
Jno. s. Carliie knows, as well a. be knows
boz unworthy he has proven himself,
that the evidence against him is ike an
avalanche. and that he can no more escape
from the killing weight of it than he can
escape death at the appointed day
But to the Insignificant poiat which he
has essayed to make Even that point,
poor and pitifal az it is, in comparison
with the others, he can not make, al
all events not against us. our statement
that be was present at the informal meeting
which Mr.. Wiley called after Mr.. Wade's
report, was based upon al explicit declara-
lion 10 that effect from Mr.. Wiley himself,
made in his speech at MOrgantown, on the
2stb day of July last We eut a verbatim
reporter to that meeting, and from his re.

We submit this record to the people,
Let them judge between Mr.. Carlile and |
his colleague, Mr. Wiley. We shall make
no comments upon it. Our only object in
adduciug lis to show how gratuitous and
how reckless it is in Mr.. Carlile to arraiEn
