Hon. Josiah Turner. Jr.
DEAR SIR In view of the fact that open
enemies or pretended friends will continue
to misrepresent my position in several res
poets, am compelled to ask you to pub
lish this card.
It is industriously reported that am
I opposed to the Convention, though it il
known here that I advocate it earnestly
aud have made several speeches in it,
favor.
e It is also reported on thu authority of {
: Washington correspondent of Baltimo n
j. paper, that had made bargain will
: Gov. Holden by virtue of which I was tC
be admitte d to my seat in the Senate,
: he was to return to North Carolina un mo-
( Tested, TO-, &c.
: The absurdity OF this story. which pre-
+ supposes that have both the pc wer an'
the disposition to control the courte Q
s Justice in the State, civil and criminal
marks il as an utter fabrication. Surel
no true friend of mine needs that sh o ulC
u brand the whole thing as falsehood il
order to disbelieve and contradict it every
o where. Such now pronounce it to be.
r Respectfully,
Il H. B. VANCE.
