A question OF vERAcITY.

We find in the Kingston East 4e1'aes-
Seean a communication from Representa-
tive Harrison of Roane, from which we
make the following extract:
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, NASH
VILE, Nov. 2, 69.-EditOr East Ten
nesseean: Permit me in your paper to
give circulation to few words of reply
to a question asked in regard to my being
pledged to vote for Mr.. johnson for
United States Senator. Well, as to the
facts in the case / say here most emphati-
cally that / never promised any person,
prior to the election on the 9Th of august,
that | would vote for johnson. 1t is
true, after the election Expressed pur
pose to do so. 1t is further true that
did not vote for him more than once.
In reply to so much of Mr.. Harrison's
communication as we have published, we
find in the same issue of The East Ten
nesseeoa, Nov. II, the following from
Col. R. K. Byrd:
Mr.. EDITOR: | notice in your issue of
to-day, letter from our nlis-representa-
tive; D. F. Harrison, denying that he
pledged himself to the Conservative party
of this county that be would vote for
Andrew johnson for Senator Now in
making this statement Mr.. Harrison tells
a wilful, malicious lie. He did so pledge
himself, and could not have gotten one
hundred votes outside of this pledge. To
verify the truth of my assertion, refer to
w. G. Julian, Maj. Alex. Rhea and any
number of good men all over this county.
