THE CONSERVATIVE NOMINEE FOR
THE STATE SENATE.

We cannot fully agree with you in
what you say about the spostaoy Of
Mi Bumgamer YOn intimate that
be is an apostois from the princi-
pie. Of the Republican Union party, We
don't think so. for man who never had
auy political principles cannot apos'a-
else. IMAM can never lose yha! he
never hud. This gentleman, it is true,
has baen acting attn the friends of The
Union and the New State for some time,
yet perhaps, it is moi generally known,
that he ran OF from the first new State
meeting that was held in bis neigh
borhool, utterly refusing to take part il
it, though specially invited and urged 50
to do. But aB soOl as tho true friends
of the measure had succeeded in get
ting into working order and he saw
that it was likely TO DO grand success
and that there was a prospect of his get
ting office. he at once became tho most
rampant new State man in the county,
and remained such until his zigzaggery
destroyed the confidence Of the Union
par,y in the honesty Of the man, and
they refused to give hih Office any lon
ger, Then seeing an oPsaiog for Office
in the party that ha had denounced, and
toward which no had ever professed tho
most intense hatred, ho OF onea in a
public meeting otiets this party his SER
vicea. and that without any remorse OF
conscience, giving as reason, that he
wanted to get somewhere, where he could
do the most injury against the Methodist
church, and there Pronounced it So pc
liiically body. seeking to usurp the reins
OF the government, every word Of which
we pronounce an utter and unmitisated
Misrepresentation of truth. Were We q
member Of that church, so Iar as our in
fluence went, the votes that he woull
get from its members would bs like
hon's teeth, very fow indeed. What
garng inconsistency, Hero ia man
wearing tho garb Of the christian relig
ION, leader ola body Of Christian PEG
pie, many Of whom are high minded,
honorable men. and yet sets himself up
as an avowed enOmy of q sister church,
because in his distorted imaginatiCns he
concsives the idea that she is seeking to
DO what wo venture has never been the
remolest iOa of any of her people. =
This is, however, but the the natural Sc.
quenoe Of disappointed political aspira'
lions.

No sirs. you are afraid OF these men,
