SOLDIERS SENT To WESTERN COUNTIES, BY ORDER
OF Gov. VANCE, 40 ovERAwE THE PEOPLE The
following extract fropa letter just received froma
citizen Of Wilkes County, shows the determination
Ct Gov Vance not to allow free election in that
part Of shs>state Our correspondent says:
sit is understood troops are to be sent into this
County previous to the election, and from the out
givings Of the Conssrratice and the Richmond Es.
omines it is not difficult to guess the object. The
story OF the Consa1catios newspaper is an inven-
1ion to justify the measure previously determined
on. The .desertees alluded to numbered about one
hundred and thirty, and hried from Randolph For.
syth, and Yadkin. A few days before Gov. Vance
spoke At Yadklnville, they had attacked the Jail
and released three prisoners Last Saturday morn
ing they passed through Wilkesborough at dawn
of day, and when last heard from we're badly scat
tered in the Blue Ridge by the Home Guards, who
pursued them towards Tennessee. Some thirty of
them have been captured. In no instance have they
shown fight. Who fears that such men will take
possession Of the polls? No one here. 1t is
mere excuse for surrounding our ballot boxes with
soldiers. No man, and no body of men, so far as
know, have made any threats to prevent fair and
free election in this quarter. Gov. Vance knows
the polls in this County are in no danger. He
should remember his promises, soemnly made At
Wlkesborough and Trap Hill, to protect our people
against military oppression"
The elections in Wilkes and other Counties were
interfered with last November by the military, and
hundreds of persons thus kept from the polls 1t is
part of Gov Vaness plan to secure HIS e-election
to do the same thing on the 4th of August, on the
pretenceth deserters will take forclble possession
Of the polish Tyrsany is never in want of an ex-
euse. We do not think it at all probable that be
will be re elected but if he should be- he will owe
it entirely to force and fraud.

IT IL all very well for the Robels to make
