Card from Mr.. McCOrmfck-WhO
Nominated slippery Audy!
WHEELING. August 3, 1872.

WHEELING, august D, lo'-.
Editors Of the Register:
This evenings issue Of the Intsl1igea'
Ger attacks me in the bitterest and most
unmanly manner, accusing me OF icing
employed by Mr.. Tingle and in one
week afterward deserting him and es-
poueing the cause Of Mr.. Conant. |
wish it distinctly understood that l am
not nor ever was the hirelipg Of either
Mr. Tingle or Mr.. Conant or any other
person. l am q workingman who
have built myself reputation
for dealing fairly and squarely
with my employers and fellow'workmen
throghout the United States. / was
under no obligation to Mr.. Tingle; con-
seouen,ly l considered myself free
man and could work for whom |
pleased. l wish the parties who in
serted said article in the lying, miser-
able Radical rag, D. D, so called, to
distinctly understand that never
violated my pledge by boiling the
regular nominees OF the Ohio County
Convention, or OF any other Convention.
All the Jacobites and GRANTEES con-
nected with the Radical cliques could
not furnish means enough 10 alter my
principles, although my means are
limited, to 8 certain extent.
IfIwas bolter such as q few Of my
countrymen are, l would not be Ca
Illuminated by those parties who are
seeking to destroy the true Democratic
party to which | feel proud to belong
the party who risked their lives in de.
fense OF my countrymen in the days Of
their peril and persecution under the
hands OF Know Nothings in '53, "a,
and So, when an lrishman could not
show his face on the streets Of your
northern cities, except at the peril OF
being shot down like dog-still the
greed OF some Of the boilers for office
has grown to such an extent that they
will sacrifice whatever little principle
they are possessed Of to seek some
office, even if they were to die in the
attempt. They hold the idea that they
must rule or ruin.
At the Ohio county Convention held
at the Court House last month there
were men who had taken the same OBJ
legation that had taken to support the
nominees of that Convention. Where
are they today? They are marching
in the Radical ranks in order to burst
the Democratic party of this State as
sunder, and hand the reins Of govern
ment over to the Radical party, go that
we may suffer the same persecution and
despotism that we had to suffer during
the past nine years.
In connection with other lies cir.
culated by the clicque and Radical
ring about me and which was cast up to
me on the streets this forenoon, was
the statement that handed in Andy
Wilson's pledge. 1t is false in every
sense Of the word.
In conclusion | will state that Cap
tain A. Wilson came out in a card in
the REGISTER of August 2, denying that
he was candidate before the Dem
ocratic Convention convened at the
Court House, Of Ohio county, on the
Let OF last month and that he had
pledged himself to support the nomi..
nees OF that Convention. Now l am
willing to be qualified that Mr.. Wilson
WAS candidate before that Convention.
Mr.. John Nolan nominated him and also
undertook to write Mr. Wilson's pledge;
but as he could not write it to his salts.
faction, he Mr.. Nolan) requested B. A.
Galligan, ESQ, to step forward and
write it. which Mr.. Gslligan did at Mr..
Nolan's request. As Captain Wilson
claims that his pledge before that Con-
vention was q forgery, can Cnly say
that if any forgery was committed, it
was by Mr.. John Nolan. / can sub
stantiate the above transaction by sew
ersl gentlemen of honor and RESPONSE
bility. i most respectfully subscribe
myself, D. j. MCCORMICK.
