Observer copies N article relative to
George ". whitmors, from the Flag,
and by mistake credits il to the Re
publican. The srticle in question
contains an svtract from a letter
written from Austin, on The 10Th Of
March, 1861, in which this passage
occurs:
T" Whitmcrs N in his scat, and took
the oath prescribed by the conven.
ton. Two or three members, Nor
toy Hancock. and Henry and others,
rsfssiax, their ssats will be declared
vacant"
The Tylsr Index, radical sheet
makes great to DO over this charge,
which he terms Islander upon Whit
more. Tho letter ia at present in our
possession, and is genuine, as
Mr.. Baxter himself will testify.
The nistaks that the Flag made was
this. II said that Whitmors was a
membcr n the secession Convention,
which vas not the case. He was .
member, however, Of the Legislature,
and seok the required oath to recog-
miss secession ~ an accomplished
iAct, and to recognize, support and
defend the Southern Confsderacy.
Nortos, Hancock, Henry and others,
also msmbsrs Of the Legislature, re
fused to take this oath, and their
seats were declared vacant Surely
the Index will not deny this? And
admitting 1t, which il 10 bound 10 do,
will Il psblish the oath which Whit
more was required to take on tina,
occasion, and under it tbs oath or
oaths he has taken siacc the closc Of
